Omniscience

In this paper, I will defend the omnipotence of God, which says that there are no limits to God 's power, that He can do ‘all things’. I will first express my view and understanding based on the Omnipotent of God from Thomas Aquinas the greatest Christian philosopher-theologian of the Middle Ages and George I. Mavrodes who explores the ‘paradox of the stone’ Then I will state their view according to my knowledge of their writing. My argument is that God is omnipotent. The question will be…

The standard definition given to God is a being that is supreme, omniscient and omnibenevolent. To give understanding on whether a being of this nature exists or does not exist requires investigation of what reasons or proof is there for tolerating the presence of God as genuine or false and whether the conditions expressed are conceivable. When regular contentions for the presence of God are assessed, the point will be to demonstrate the presence of God is unprovable and that it is sensible to…

matter how far into the future we look. It is a key element of new knowledge, new discoveries, and new technologies. We live in a world that does not simply hand us all the answers. There is no ‘’cheat sheet’’ for the secrets of life. This lack of omniscience opens the door for numerous “what ifs”, “whys” and “hows” about the universe and our existence. Ergo, there will always be a need for science to help us to understand how things work. Scientific exploration has been and will continue to be…

than attacked, but nonetheless has been answered by many great thinkers. To begin, we must first clarify our terms of God, free will, and omniscience. God, in the Abrahamic religion, is defined as an omnipotent, omniscient, and wholly good being. Free will refers to the ability to freely choose between multiple actions at any given point in time. And omniscience is defined as knowing all things, both those that…

The psalm readily divides into four parts of six verses each (Walvoord 891). In the first part, David expresses God’s complete knowledge (Ps. 139:1-6). Rather than present a rigid statement of God’s knowledge, David speaks of it in adoration (Kidner 500). David is happy to confess that God has searched him and does know him. The perfect verb tense, expressing a past action with continuing results, shows that God always intimately knows the hearts and minds of all people (Keil 809). Yet, the…

Job understands/presents the problem of human knowledge about God as humans are incapable of actually understanding God in his full omniscience. Throughout the book of Job, the man Job continually asks God to meet with him in trial-esque setting. Job declares God unjust in His treatment towards him, and he wants to know why God has decided to punish him. In Job’s eyes he has done nothing to deserve this punishment. Eventually, God grants Job this “trial,” and the following quote is an excerpt…

fact, but now in the Post-Truth Era, with news stories have evolved to not only included heavily swayed viewpoints with a mix of opinion and facts, but also news stories could also feature competing realities, which was caused by growing sense of omniscience garnered by the news media over time. The media also has increased the value of breaking an important story first because of instant gratification that their audience seeks and expects, which means that even if not all the facts are…

The novel, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ (1960), written by Harper Lee is told through the eyes of Scout Finch, whose father is defending a black man accused of raping a white girl in the town of Maycomb, Alabama. In a retrospective view, the narrator, Scout Finch further acquires knowledge from her childhood experiences, regarding the issues of prejudice and racial injustice explored, which allowed her to form a mature judgment of the society in the Southern United States during the 1930s. ‘To Kill a…

not exert any effort to obtain it. This is unlike pagan deities whose knowledge is limited and who are never thought to be all-knowing (Walton 433). Pagan deities are also not personally known to their worshipers, but David makes the matter of omniscience personal (Spurgeon 259).…

In this passage the sheer size of Eckleburg’s eyes, and the fact that they are in “spectacles” gives them the quality of being watchful. However later in the passage Fitzgerald references the occultist sinking “into eternal blindness”. He then goes on to say that the eyes, although “dimmed by many paintless days” remain in their place. The way that the eyes have continued to stare out into the world long after they have been forsaken by mankind gives them the feeling of being an eternal presence…
