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.
