my paper I want to argue that Blackburn is wrong for claiming that the existence of evil calls for a God that isn’t all-good‚ all-knowing‚ and all-powerful. What brought me to this conclusion is his inability to look at things from different perspectives which can cloud or mislead judgement. Blackburn’s main argument is that we evidently face evil in our world so clinging onto the idea of our God being perfect becomes more and more difficult the more you look into it. To support this argument‚ he

Actually‚ these arguments seek to prove that the existence of a being or having faith with at least one attribute that only God could have is logically necessary. 2. Believing and having faith in God will only resort to one thing—goodness. 3. Faith has something to do with one’s conception about God. 4. The existence of God remains a matter

Critical Evaluation In Engaging with God David Peterson aims to provide a Biblical theological framework for worship‚ and he does just that. As he unfolds the Bible’s teachings on worship from Genesis to Revelation it is evident that the Bible is truly a book about worship.

Existence of God The question as to the fact on whether or not God exists or ceases to exist has been one of the most debated. Human beings find it necessary to prove the existence of God so that we can give meaning to life. People that disprove his existence do so because they find meaning elsewhere‚ such as in evolution. A person can believe and have faith in God‚ but as to whether or not his existence can be proven lays the argument between theists and atheists. The philosophers discussed believe

on Belief that People are made in the Image of God God is incomprehensible‚ one that we cannot totally fathom (Pss. 139:6; Rom. 11:33-36; Pss. 145:3). But this in no way implies that we cannot know God truly. For in creating us in His image and giving us a Word‚ revelation of Himself‚ even though we cannot know God fully‚ we many know him truly (Deut. 29:29). (Brand‚ Draper‚ and England 659) This is why and discussion of the Christian doctrine of God must be firmly rooted and grounded in Scripture

the book of Psalms‚ Psalm 139 is perhaps one of the most sublime declarations of the omnipresence of God found in the Bible. Attested to David‚ Psalm 139 is classified as an “Individual Hymn of Thanksgiving” 1 a genre in which God is praised for the singers’ delivery from oppression and various life-threatening illnesses while also acting as a “Wisdom” psalm‚ celebrating the creative goodness of God.
