PHI 208 (Religion) Course Name: Topic Name: Instructor Name: Student Name: Date: Introduction: The Bible gives witness to two facts regarding the knowledge God. First‚ it teaches us that God is incomprehensible‚ and but then it also declares that God is knowable. Both are true‚ but not in an absolute sense. To say that God is incomprehensible simply means that finite man cannot know everything there is to know about God who is an infinite being. To say that God is knowable means that‚ though

We have an intrinsic understanding that God is the supremely perfect being and is perfect in every way. By ‘perfect’‚ Descartes means omniscience‚ omnipotence ad omnibenevolence. Descartes used an analogy of a triangle to explain his understanding of how this innate idea demonstrated the existence of God. He claimed that by comparing it to the way we ordinarily establish very basic truths

This debate questions God’s omnibenevolence since his omniscience would allow Him to know that giving humans free reign over the world would be a bad

Though Anselm doesn’t expressly address the issue‚ it is clear (1) that he is attempting to show the existence of the God of classical theism; and (2) that the great-making properties include those of omnipotence‚ omniscience‚ and moral perfection. There are a number of plausible arguments for thinking that even this restricted set of properties is logically inconsistent.

However‚ the biography also adduces the complications that memory might suffer‚ thereby revealing the inadequate omniscience of history. Baker envisages the conception of interweaving memories on elucidating historical evidence. In Gate 38‚ the fairy tale quality of this gate symbolises how memory can join with historical evidence to provide a more profound range of

The answer to the 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
