Topic > Philo's Transcendence - 921

Philo states that it is inconceivable that the planet was created by a being who was both omnipotent and omnibenevolent. Since God is the creator and is totally moral, he cannot be responsible for the presence of evil on the planet. Evil, in fact, does not exist as a foreign substance: it is evidently a lack of great importance, just as the difficulty in seeing is the lack of sight. This unfortunate deficiency emerges through the activities of people who have unbridled choice. The God of Christian belief in higher powers could be defended from the above accusation in light of the fact that people must have free will in mind to be human. For this opportunity to exist the probability of malevolence must also exist. Predicting that God will create free creatures and at the same time preventing them from making indecent decisions is a consistent incomprehensibility. Facts can demonstrate that God's transcendence does not allow him to do what is appreciably incomprehensible. It can't do 1+1=3; he cannot create a rock that he cannot lift; consequently, it cannot give an individual unlimited choice and in the meantime establish choices for him. Consequently, the greatest good of human freedom is a product of God's benevolence, and the evil that exists is a consequence of humans' misuse of that freedom. This barrier drives the consistent issue of deviousness allowing God to be both omnipotent and omnibenevolent. Likewise, this resistance places the blame on people for wickedness and perseverance. However, the question still remains whether God was able to create the universe without the risk of pain and agony. God could have created free creatures who chose not to cause suffering to themselves or... middle of paper......ent and omnipotent despite the proximity of evil for two explanations. First, God is omnibenevolent and omnipotent on the basis that He is infinite and cannot be limited by good or evil. The second explanation is that, despite the proximity of evil on the planet, evil is created for something more excellent and exceptional that man can aspire to. Overall, I suppose it is conceivable that God is both omnibenevolent and omnipotent, which could be claimed by people themselves as an immediate result of freedom. The problem of evil can also be answered in the way God allows it to happen with the goal that people endure in order to achieve the greater good which is eternal life. God is still omnibenevolent in this case, as he gives people the possibility of eternal life once they overcome the resistance found in the world..
