Theism

Julian’s Theology In a time period of which the traditional theology of the church was centered around the damning and vengeful nature of God towards sinners, Julian of Norwich carefully contradicts the condemning nature of the doctrine of the church and offers a more forward-looking theology grounded in God’s love. Contrary to the church’s view of an angry God reigning down eternal damnation as punishment for sin, Julian reconstructs the character of God in opposition to the views by…

Molinism and open theism Molinism is the theory regrading God’s knowledge. The details are as follows. Molinisim says that God have middle knowledge, which are the counterfactual conditionals of human beings. These counterfactual conditionals are not within God’s control. Feasible worlds are a subset of possible worlds. Feasible worlds are the worlds that God can actualise and must be consistent with the conditionals. Open theism doesn’t agree that God knows future contingent truths. God does…

The debate between Theism and Atheism has caused ripples globally. Philosophers have argued their cases and have also gone ahead to try and prove their point. Considering all points given from both sides, one has to agree that the church's argument wins the majority. Most people have come to believe through faith. Theists believe that there is a supreme being called God who created all life forms in the beginning. This is unlike Atheists who do not believe in the existence of God, but only…

quite a stir within the theological realm, and I have truly become captivated by the idea. The idea to which I refer is the idea of open theism. The idea of…

the experiences of his creations as process theism describes; a God that shares a personal relationship with his creations to a God that is emotionless as Spinoza describes (Casanova, The Journal of Religion and Psychical Research, p. 49; Nadler, Humanities, p. 46). While Spinoza holds a controversial view of scripture as propagating superstitious illusions and process theism portraying God in scripture as less distinct and less powerful, Western theism being more plausible depicts the divine…

The original pragmatic maxim and the whole creation of pragmatism derive their origins from Charles Pierce, the creator of pragmatism and its principle. The pragmatic principle that Pierce develops can be put forth from his essay, “How To Make Our Ideas Clear”, that “our idea of anything is our idea of its sensible effects.” (56) According to Pierce, pragmatism says our understanding or meanings of objects and beliefs formulate because of the qualities and characteristics that the objects and…

argued that Kurtz showed the absence of God in order to show that nihilism is not true. But in Craig’s statement he argued for theism, which is when moral values are bounded by God. He made a statement that if theism were to be true, then we have a sound foundation for morality, and if it is not true, we do not have a sound foundation for morality. Craig started off with theism was true. If it was true, then objective moral values of good and evil are independent. An example he gave on this was…

Agnostic V. Atheism There is a war going on for your mind. An age-old question is/are there a god or gods? Nested in this question though is another decision worth noting. If my answer is “I do not know” am I an atheist or an agnostic? I would argue that they are one in the same. To call yourself an agnostic is to be a subset of atheism. Although the distinction between atheist and agnostic may seem significant in use they are similar in definition. The definitions of the terms are as follows;…

contrasting each other; those are atheism and theism. H.J. McCloskey, an atheistic philosopher detailed his opinions on the faults of theism to give justification for his own (and many others) atheistic beliefs. In an article titled, “On Being an Atheist” McCloskey enumerates his belief that theism is not the comfortable belief system that most theists believe it to be. In this article, he addresses three common arguments, he refers to them as proofs, that theism claims as justification for…

would you say? This topic is all about God and Atheism. Even though there are tons of people that don't have the faintest idea what they believe in, maybe if you read my topic, you'll have a clue of what you believe in. Atheism and theism is two different things. Theism is a belief for God, and atheism is not a believe for God. I'm going to argue about what I think between these two sides. I've done six researches on my topic. The first is called The God Debate. In this topic, it has two men…
