Deism
Deism Spencer Joon-Suh Tressler
Deism is a view between that there is a God and a creator and that there is not one that God created the universe and then just left to run on its own at all Deism holds that God does not intervene with the functioning of the natural world in any way, allowing it to run according to the laws of nature that he configured when he created all things so God is wholly transcendent and never immanent if you are a deist than you may only know God I can give you critical and consecutive statements that deist have that they all believe and follow. 1. Rejection of all religions based on books that claim to contain the revealed word of God 2. Rejection of reports of miracles, prophecies and religious "mysteries 3. God exists created and rules the universe 4. God gave human beings the ability to reason 5. That there is 1 supreme God 6. That he should be worshipped 7. Rejection of all religious dogma and demagogy
THESE ARE ALL TO BELIEVED TO BE TRUE AND TO LIVE BY THEM Deists hold a variety of beliefs about the soul . Some, such as Lord Herbert of Cherbury and William Wollaston, [25] held that souls exist, survive death, and in the afterlife are rewarded or punished by God for their behavior in life. Some, such as Benjamin Franklin, believed in reincarnation or resurrection. Others such as Thomas Paine were agnostic about the immortality of the soul. Deism is 2 different beliefs that all add up to there is a god and there is not a god that he did all this created all these things and just left that he does not live here anymore that he is just gone that there is not just there is a god or there

    This article concentrated on the reason given by the author that deism is some kind much more realistic to the human perception than other creed human already taken for a long time, or we can say 'official religion' for certain group of religious people. Logical terms that applied in the approach for the quest of reason make it argumentative enough and look completely make sense. Although human perception or the God gift of reason is not as close as it has to be evidence to the existence of God and or the chosen one.…

    According to Durkheim, at the most basic level, all religious principles presuppose that the world is partitioned into two domains, the sacred and the profane. Religious beliefs are “systems of representations that express the nature of sacred things, the virtues and powers attributed to them, their history, and their relationships with one another as well as with profane things” (34).…

    My beliefs are simple, and follow what the Apostles Creed which I recite every day to remind me that “I believe in one God, who created the universe and all that is in it. I also believe in Jesus Christ as being God's presence in human form and the fact that he died for us so that through him we can come to know God”. Lastly, I believe human beings are created in the image and likeness of God. Since we are physical and God is spiritual, there are obvious differences. With God, we share the fact that we are rational beings, capable of making our own decisions and mistakes, and having relationships with each other and with him. All these beliefs make up my belief system, Christianity. In doing some research about other religions I found that many religions believe in one God, who not only created everything but whom is active in guiding and teaching his people.…

    Hegelianism

    The present study requires familiarity with Hegel’s dialectic view which for a while dominated European philosophy and whose effect presides to the present day. As M.H. Abrams in Natural Supernaturalism defines Hegel’s dialectic by maintaining that Hegel’s thought has been constantly associated with motion: “The elemental units of his system, the concepts [Begriffe],” are themselves “self-movement, circles … spiritual entities… . The concept is the object’s own self which presents itself as its becoming… that moves itself and takes its determinations back into itself, and passes over into its own complement, or antithesis” (174). Hegel maintains that in science the “Concept” develops itself out of itself and is only an immanent progression and production of its own determinations; Hegel calls this moving principle of the “Concept” dialectic. He then applies the same dialectic—of immanent movement and self-induced passage of each element into its own contraries which press for reconciliation or synthesis—to the phenomenal world of objects, of people, and of institutions, just as he does to the systematic thinking of the philosopher:…
