Theism

There is a divine calling on Theologian’s Ken Archer’s life. Born in Ohio, his parents, Ken and Charlotte Archer were always very loving, supportive and encouraging of anything he wanted to do. He is very thankful towards them for all that they have done for him. At the age of nineteen, Dr. Ken Archer accepted the Pentecostal way of life, it is evident that God has a plan like no other on his life and has used him in many glorious ways. His in-laws, Revd Norman and Nancy Beetler, introduced him…

personal understanding and perspective of who God is to me and God’s Creation. Furthermore, the readings for the Process Theology class confirmed my perspectives about the process thought. This is relative to the C. Robert Mesle’s idea that “process theism” discusses God as one “who loves, wills, intends, and acts in nature and human history.” (2, Process…

For example, a specific group of people named atheists. Atheists argue for the non-existence of God or an absence of God. Then there are those who go farther and say there is no God. Do not get confused with an agnostic who believes in atheism and theism (American Atheism). Another well-known religion is Buddhism. This religion began in India 2,500 years ago. Although this religion is virtually extinct in…

Benchmark Assignment: Gospel Essentials A Christian worldview is a worldview that has been around for thousands of years along with many other views such as Theism, Deism, Pantheism, and Atheism. However, I will only focus on the worldview of Christianity. Christianity differs from the other views in many ways. Christians have a strong notion of believing in one god, who created everything, and sent his only son to save mankind who will restore life back into humanity. If Jesus did not die for…

McCloskey has made a very strong case, he was not able to fully prove his points because many arguments or defeaters, exist against his proofs and for the fact that all his proofs are not able to be judged individually but are to be used together in theism. In doing so McCloskey has failed to provide his point…

Introduction John Hick, the British Philosopher was born in 1922 in the United Kingdom. Hick is credited as a profound religious epistemologist, philosophical theologian, and religious pluralist (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2015). Hick contributed largely to the world of theology, writing one of his more famous works, Evil and the God of Love, where the chapter Soul-Making Theodicy is included (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2015). The attempt to explain the presence of evil,…

For many years, Theist and Atheist have attempted to argue their points concerning God’s existence. In both instances, each group appears to constantly attempt to disprove their counterpart. This is done in a variety of ways and some of which we will look at in this paper. Typically, the place that each side begins with is a straight forward question. Is there a God? However, after this question the ones that follow are anything but straight forward. Due to this, there are many people on each…

The presence of unnecessary evil in the world has sparked controversy about the existence of an omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and omniscient being. The problem of evil, in its most basic sense, claims that the evil in the world is unnecessary and contradictory to the existence of the Abrahamic God. In this essay I will briefly summarize both the logical problem of evil given by Mackie and the evidential problem of evil provided by Rowe. I will then argue that these arguments cannot be made because…

In his 1968 article, McCloskey made a strong case against the existence of God, while defending his stand on atheism. His arguments are centered around the three proofs of that religious people use to explain why they believe in God. Over and above, he argues unapologetically against faith, and questions the existence of a good God in such a world full of evil and moral decadence. The question of morality does not escape him too, and in his submission is that there is more solace in atheism than…

This introduces the final argument which is morality. It is only right when opposing atheism to theism, it would be justifiable not to jump to any conclusion that God does not exist. If God does not exist, good or bad doesn't matter, if you are a doctor or a terrorist. If there is no God, it does not matter, whether you donate organs or are an abortionist…
