Paradox + Logical Inconsistencies = Christianity
.: posted 3/7/2004 ::: by the WebMaster ON MAN'S FREEWILL FREEWILL ARGUMENT FOR THE NONEXISTENCE OF GOD 1.) The Christian God is a personal being and is omniscient. 2.) Personal beings have free will.(according to most Christians) 3.) To have freewill, a personal being must be able to make a choice. 4.) A being who knows everything can have no "state of uncertainty". It knows its choices in advance. 5.) God has no potential to avoid its choices, and therefore has no free will. 6.) Since a being that lacks free will is not a personal being, a personal being who knows everything cannot exist. 7.) Therefore, the Christian God does not exist. - a syllogistic view of Dan Barker's F.A.N.G INFALLIBLE KNOWLEDGE / FREEWILL ARGUMENT 1.) God knows infallibly what will occur in the Universe before it occurs. 2.) God can’t change the future because he knows everything absolutely. 3.) God has no Free-will. ON PRAYER 1.) Prayer is sometimes used to ask God to change a situation in one's life or anothers. 2.) God has a divine plan that cannot be changed. 3.) Prayer cannot be used to change any situation. (Prayer may make you feel better emotionally, but it doesn`t change God`s mind.) |
