weakness - so much suffering going on in the world today (covid 19)

28

evaluation for omni - benevolent

A

has merit as this is the reason people don’t believe in god

29

God not only creates but also continues to support and provide for the world he created. God is a purposeful creator and he intended his creation to be perfect and good - each day ends with ‘and God was pleased with what he saw’ genesis 1

30

created everything from nothing. everything owes its existence to God. Genesis 1 “when God created the universe, the earth was formless and desolate” Genesis 1:1

31

strength - christians can feel as though they are in a personal relationship with him

32
Q

analysis for ex nihilo

A

strength - provides an explanation for how the universe came to be and a why.

33
Q

evaluation for ex nihilo

A

I don’t think this has merit as there is no evidence to prove that it was God who created the universe.

34
Q

evaluation for omnipotent

A

I think this has merit as it provides comfort and support for Christians knowing they are always being watched over

35
Q

analysis of freewill

A

weakness - can cause suffering in the world for example war and famine

36
Q

evaluation of freewill

A

I think this has merit as it means people make their own choices and means they have to take responsibility for their actions.
