Initial Proclamation of Christian Truth

 This text documents the extent of which I desire to write on the philosophy of Christianity. The whole premise of Christianity is the existence of the One God. Let us question, what is the One God? I postulate that God is the Necessary, Eternal, Immutable, Simple, and Infinite Existence. The key here is that God is Existence and not any other thing. Existence is reasonably necessary and thus eternal and immutable. As such, it is also simple and infinite. Since God is defined to be Existence, everything else regarding the proof of His Existence is made easier. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to prove the Existence of such magnanimous Object.

Due to the Infinity of God, God has Infinite Power. He is above all other objects such that He can direct and influence all other objects against the unruly motions of the finite objects. According to the idea of knowledge, knowledge is merely a relationship between objects. God has Perfect Relationship with Himself, thus He possess and due to simplicity, is Perfect Knowledge. God is also Perfect Goodness due to the impossibility of Him contradicting Himself. As such, all things done by God will be good and only good.

The consequence of God is us, creatures, creation. The sole purpose of creation is for creatures to be united to God. The supreme creature is called man, he is called by God to be united to Him. To be united to God, one must already be in conformity with God. However, man is given the freedom to accept or reject God, and man has rejected God. God still desires man to be united with Him, and in this new condition, be saved from the rejection against God which we call sin. For this reason, God has prepared a solution for sin, that is the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Man cannot simply repent as sin is an actual entity of Non-Existence which must be paid by man. Yet for all man have sinned and lost the glory of God, then sinful man cannot pay. Even an immaculate man cannot pay without God paying for it as well. However, God Himself cannot pay it as God cannot suffer. Sin necessitates that someone suffers for that deficit or debt. As such, the solution is for God to be man and thus our Lord Jesus Christ is born. By His passion, death, and resurrection, primarily His passion and death, He unites Himself with every man and absorbs their sins and so sin is vanquished in the Person of Jesus Christ. As such, thanks to the sacrifice of Christ, man's repentance can be meaningful and man can once more attain God.
