Conceptions of God

Nature, much alike the Christian impression of God, is dynamic, eternal and omnipresent, glorified by romanticists for it’s ability to inspire, nurture and destroy. As the cornerstone of romantic idealism, nature was a “power at the heart of the romanticist's imagination,” epitomised in their art and literature. It had the potential to “render one small and insignificant” yet it could also connect one with eternity, a spiritual concept which corresponds to the notion of eternal life presented…

(DSA). For the sake of brevity, I shall only discuss the former. Accordingly, Reitan and Kronen briefly consider DA, which holds that God mercifully grants and then carries out metaphysical annihilation of the damned. Further, DA is also seen as retributive justice for sin. However, this seems wrong because Kronen and Reitan already have shown ‘eternal joy’ with God to be a plausible choice for the damned, which will eventually come to fruition (pp. 161-63). Moreover, the demands…

and alike (Pojman and Vaughn 127). ii. Evil is attributed to our own free will. People choose evil rather than good because it is one of the easiest choice to make and also because it is in our nature to do such a thing. For someone who argues that God should not…

ability to think on our own. Therefore, Descartes is certain that God as a reason and exist because there is not reason that God would have give the ability to think to humanity and yet have a evil demon to control us. Those two thoughts cannot co-exist and, as a result, Descartes is certain that God does not allow the evil to deceive us. Consequently, the world exist as we perceive it and humanity has a distinct conception of it because God exists and He is Good. Since the actual process of…

Try having a Christian explain, in laymen’s terms, the definition of God. Better yet, try explaining to someone any strong emotion felt by an individual in a clear-cut manner. The task is simply impossible. Every emotion which passes through the human vessel is entirely subjective to one’s own experience and understanding. A solution to this problem of universalizing an individual’s abstraction of an idea, could be to paint a metaphysical picture with the use of characteristics that are…

perspective of the atheist or non religious people, the world is full of evil and in total chaos. Furthermore, the concept behind an all loving God and the ultimate rule maker of the moral code depicts the theory of Divine Command. The Divine Command Theory postulates that the question of what is morally right is commanded by God, and morally wrong is forbidden by God and draws a conclusion that the objectivity problem in ethics seems to be solved. In addition, the Rachels examine The Theory of…

human birth and death and also his human needs and form. Jesus is confirmed to be divine because of his title of Lord and the fact that he is the son of God. His conception within the Virgin Mary also confirmed his divinity. The Nicene Creed also mentions Jesus as the son of God and as Lord, confirming his divinity. It also tells us how the "Son of God came down to earth and was made man". When Catholics say this at mass they are being taught about Jesus' dual nature. Catholics also teach…

on making these choices, how can we become good people? How will such a result not affect the rest of society? Bad personal choice will hurt others. Point 3 is the most divergent surface. Although most people in the world believe in God, or at least believe in God, but as a source of theory, the creation of the problem in today's society is no doubt…

The acceptance of evil or theodicy within our modern world, has become questioned more and more as we as citizens of the world and children of God are constantly exposed to the terrors of religious fanatic’s, murderers, and tribes of kidnappers around the globe. The phrase, if God is all powerful, all knowing, and all good, how can that same God allow evil to exist and for bad things to happen to good people? Some authors have even attempted to answer this question directly, there is at…
