    The debate of whether God exists or does not has been going on from the time of the ancient philosophers such as St. Aquinas and St. Anselm‚ who both supported the existence of God‚ whereas‚ many years later there were those who tried to disprove the arguments presented. Some of these disbelievers include Immanuel Kant‚ Friedrich Nietzsche and David Hume‚ all whom argue that God does not indeed exist. Although God is considered dead and nonexistent by many‚ he does indeed exist because something

    question of whether it is scripturally consistent for god to be human and divine would seem obvious to many‚ however I do think there are some objections which at least require consideration. For instance‚ the incarnation seems to move away from the Torah and some major fiercely held beliefs. God in the Torah continues to assert himself as radically different from the various gods worshiped by the people groups that surrounded them. The Roman gods‚ for example‚ were seen to constantly be interacting

    2014 Topic 3: The Certainty that God Is After reading the two paragraphs written by scholars I have come to three different conclusions. The author of the first argument claims that God does in fact exist and he is also infinite. The author of the second argument claims that humans are not capable of comprehending the idea of infinite‚ therefore we cannot argue that God is infinite or that he exists at all. Finally‚ Descartes claims that by The Method of Doubt‚ God is the one idea that cannot be doubted

    Let’s dive deep into these arguments‚ throughout this semester‚ I have come across various rational arguments that aim to prove the existence of God. These arguments take different philosophical approaches‚ all attempting to demonstrate the presence of a divine being through different lines of reasoning. These arguments are closely tied to what Anselm referred to as "perfect being theology." According to this concept‚ God is the most perfect being imaginable‚ possessing all perfections to the utmost

    argued that a rational person should reside in as though they live and attempt to believe that God does exist. A lot of philosophers think Pascal is the most fragile of all disagreements for believing that God does exists. Pascal thought it was the strongest and he was one of the most dubious philosophers whoever wrote. In order to understand Pascal’s Wager you have to be aware of the setting of the argument. Pascal lived in a time of great skepticism‚ medieval philosophy wasn’t alive‚ and primitive

    One of the most interesting arguments for the Existence of God comes from Anselm and the Ontological argument. According to the Ontological argument‚ there is no reason to go out and look for physical evidence of God’s existence. The ontological argument is based completely on reason and comes from the concept of a “being than which no greater can be conceived.” Anselm suggested that if such a “being” does not truly exist then a greater being can be conceived. But how does this make any sense? Nothing

    together. One major topic in metaphysics is the existence of God‚ and there are many philosophical arguments from the theist and atheist side trying to prove whether God exists or not. In philosopher Ernest Nagel’s “A Defense of Atheism” he proves to dispel the classical arguments for the existence of God as well as give an atheistic view on why there could not be a God. Instead of just dispelling the theistic arguments Nagel brings forth an argument in defense of Atheism regarding the existence of evil

    belief in a God or Gods has been an ongoing debate. As humans‚ we have a natural instinct to find explanations for events that cannot be explained. I‚ like many others look for something transcendent on which to build our lives upon. There are numerous arguments presented to prove the existence of God‚ however the most convincing of those ways begins from the fact of the existence of the world. These types of arguments are known as “cosmological” arguments. The cosmological argument is that of the

    us by a God that is perfect (36). He shows this by first arguing for the existence of God‚ and from there he deduces that all of our clear and distinct ideas are innate and entirely trustworthy (36). By proving that all of our clear and distinct ideas are caused by God and that God is an infinite and perfect (non-deceptive) being‚ Descartes believes that he will be able to show that all of our clear and distinct ideas are entirely trustworthy. So he begins by proving the existence of God. The argument

    When exploring the word of God in the Old Testament (OT)‚ it is important to locate the texts into a social and historical context. It is in this context that the word of God is mediated by human expression. To deny the human expression is effectively to place a barrier between the word of God and it’s invitation to revelation. The OT can be seen as a “record of people’s experience of God’s self-revelation” (Rohr & Martos‚ 2011‚ p. 22). Thus the theology underpinning the OT meaning and understanding
