ABSTRACT

This humanities style essay-formatted paper exegetically explores foundational biblical principles of Christianity, morality, Christian duplicity, and behaviors found in Christian failures and successful endeavors, particularly as these principles apply to the epistemology of Christian faith, choosing to embrace good over evil, while simultaneously failing at our own flawed human efforts to overcome evil in our thought patterns, which emanate from the (fallen) human heart of mankind. The scope of this paper is not limited to religion because the ethical principles described herein apply to law, philosophy, business, and the sociology of everyday living. The pursuit of truth and honesty impact every area of life. In setting life goals for ourselves and our children on things that matter most, what could be more important than the pursuit of truth? For Christians, this requires the relentless pursuit of truth. What is truth? Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6 NKJV) The Christian faith of soteriology is based entirely upon the teachings of Jesus, the Great Commandment, and the teaching of Jesus Christ that all roads don’t lead mankind to heaven. The presentation of these issues utilizes personal anecdotal vignettes and commentary by the author.
