    Nazarene denomination‚ I feel that we typically view holiness in the same way as most people‚ at least that is what I thought. I did not realize there were different views of what holiness was. Holiness defined by the Nazarene church would be the after math of us being saved. Being cleansed by the holy spirit‚ renewing us in the image of God‚ and producing us in the character of Christ. In shorter words‚ holiness is equal to Christlikeness. Holiness does not just mean that once you are cleansed by

    The Euthyphro Dilemma When assessing the nature of morality‚ one must determine the reasons for believing certain actions to be right or wrong. In the following paragraphs I am going to explain what The Euthyphro Dilemma is and the threat that each of its horns imposes. Then I will defend The Divine Command Theory against these objections and demonstrate how it not only survives the two horns‚ but is also the stronger position to assume. In the Euthyphro‚ Socrates asks the age old question about

    impossible situation. Euthyphro tries to argue against Socrates’ criticism by pointing out that not even the gods would disagree amongst themselves that someone who kills without justification should be punished but Socrates argues that disputes would still arise over just how much justification there actually was and therefore the same action could still be both pious and impious. Socrates yet again believes Euthyphro’s ’definition’ cannot possibly be a definition. Euthyphro attempts to overcome

    In EuthyphroEuthyphro is prosecuting his father for manslaughter. Euthyphro states that it does not matter if the person his father killed was a relative or stranger. Instead‚ it mattered on the subject of whether or not the act of murder was justified or not. Socrates tries to understand Euthyphro’s definition of what is pious and what is impious‚ but does not get the answer he is looking for. Every answer Euthyphro gives Socrates finds a flaw in the definition. Socrates is looking for an answer
