Discovering God Theologians Psychology And Philosophy

By Karen Ward


When it comes to the religious and spiritual aspects of life, there are numerous paths. While this is the case, God Theologians Psychology and philosophy are now coming together in a cutting-edge practice in which individuals can delve deeper into the connection between these different areas. In fact, there is currently an investigation with regards as to how trust plays a part in all three areas.

In one case, Ronald Regan's quote of a Russian proverb "Trust, but verify, " is how a number of people feel about religion. In fact, when the word trust comes up with regards to religion, the complexities are numerous. For example, people often question whether trust has the same definition between individuals and God as between individuals.

While trust plays a major role in the life of Christians, trust has been severely under investigated when it comes to philosophy and theology. For, while social sciences have investigated the idea of interpersonal trust, most have had little, if any, relation to God or a higher power. Meanwhile, religious individuals and theologians have discussed the meaning trust in God or the Universe as related to Christianity and other belief systems, though often differ as to the true definition.

Currently, two researchers are launching a multi-year, multi-disciplinarian investigation in order to create a psychologically pragmatic, philosophically rigorous and theologically informed understanding of trust as related to God. For, the individuals involved in the research believe cognitive requirements of trust have the ability to shape behaviors related to faith, life and religion.

In some cases, trust is relying on others. Whereas, in others, it is the knowledge that if one needs assistance in the moment that another individual will drop everything and come running. Although, before placing this trust in another individual, it is important that both parties are aware of such expectation. In addition, while some people believe that an individual must have total trust in another for the relationship to work, others suggest the act of having such a belief actually presupposes the individual to doubt, thus making any aspect of trust invalid.

With regards to religion, people must determine whether there is a difference between trust and faith. One example of this difference being, that one must often have faith in order to trust God, or others. For, to have faith is to believe in something whether seen or unseen. Whereas, to trust means to expect that an individual or God will provide a specific action or event in response to a request for privacy, a prayer, a question or a personal or biblical promise.

When it comes to philosophy, trust is a different story. In most cases, if an individual needs to make a decision in the moment which has the capability of doing either good or harm, most individuals trust that the decision will provide the best result. Since the action taken is based on believing the decision will provide a positive outcome, the answer is then a product of trust.

While some individuals blindly follow the religion of parents and others, it is often best to search for a spiritual truth oneself. For, there are many different paths an individual can take when it comes to religion, spirituality and belief. Whether a believer, non-believer, Christian, Buddhist, Neo-pagan, Wiccan or on another path, there is often a path to a higher power or powers with which individuals can connect at some point in life.
