Omnibenevolence

Russell brings up is that to assume God is good would mean that He is unable to command anything that is evil. This argument allows that God can haphazardly change whether an action is moral or not. However, because of God’s omnipotence and omnibenevolence, He does have the power to acknowledge rape as moral but will not because of his nature of…

Does morality depend on God? Is it God’s commands that make actions right or wrong? These arguments were originally inspired by the story of Euthyphro, written by Plato, where a dilemma, commonly known as Euthyphro’s dilemma, stems from the dialogue between the two main characters. It poses the question of whether an action is pious because it is loved by the Gods, or if it’s loved by the Gods because it is pious. As time went by, a modernized model of this argument came to life and from that, a…

The issue emerges when considering God 's omnibenevolence and the presence of insidiousness on the planet. In principle, since God is the maker of everything and is additionally all knowing and all effective, he needs to know the idea of insidiousness and let it emerge on the planet. Tailing, it is a…

His faith quickly waivered, Elie questioned God’s omnibenevolence after witnessing the acts of pure evil committed by Nazis. Elie began to think, “...I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name?The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there…

this theodicy, respectively, in order to examine the whether presence of evil in the world alludes to God’s existence. The problem of evil focuses on how to reconcile the existence of a God with divine attributes - omniscience, omnipotence, and omnibenevolence - with the presence of evil in the world. Leibniz’s stance on the problem of evil relies heavily upon the principle of sufficient reason, which states that it would be irrational for anything to be without causation. In creating the…

The idea of a supreme has been around since the beginning of time, and many different arguments have been used in attempt to prove the existence of a god. One of the most well-known arguments for the existence of the Judeo-Christian God is Anselm’s ontological argument. Ontological arguments use natural theology which attempts to prove God existence by using logic, reason, and shared evidence. Scripture, religious experience, and divine revelation are all used as tools. Many great philosophers…

of good or evil by men is dependent on God. And if men can choose good on some occasion, then men can choose good over evil on every occasion. But the existence of evil and men making bad choices a lot of the time questions the omnipotence and omnibenevolence of God. Following are the premises extracted from the argument:…

God is in doubt by many. I am arguing Philosopher Simon Blackburn’s claim that the existence of evil strongly suggests that there isn’t a god who is all-good, all-knowing and all-powerful is wrong. Since God is omniscience, omnipotence and omnibenevolence, Blackburn believes the idea of God contradicts all the bad happening in this world. He supposes if god had more power, he would destroy evil. Since evil exists, then god isn’t what we claim he is. There are suffering, poverty, natural…

The first idea we face, is the logical problem of evil. What this questions is the possibility of there being an omnibenevolent, omnipotent, and omnipresent God and why evil still exists. One of the arguments made is, there is a God who is omnibenevolent and supposedly all good eliminates evil as far as it can, but we still have evil existing when there’s a God. By stating all of these, we have to give up one of the statements in order to make the argument true. The one fact that we can more…

in Jamestown is devout and will ‘save them’ is consistent throughout reports of the suicide. Jim Jones was reported to be a very charismatic leader who regularly performed miracles (history1900s.com), reinforcing his follower’s perception of omnibenevolence. Suggesting that the follower makes their own judgements about the leader based on their impression of the cult leader and adjusts their behaviour accordingly. The decision to join a cult could be based entirely on the initial impression that…
