Principle Issues of My

Do people really have free will Philosophies Related to My All ethical concepts that have anything to do with choices and wills i .e : ethical skepticism , descriptive relativism , cultural relativism , descriptive egoism , and prescriptive egoism Misconceptions about My

Some people believe that because of the existence of an omnipotent omniscient , and omnipresent God , every action being taken by man is known to and allowed by God . In other words , man has

no free will Moreover , since God allows every action taken by man , every choice an individual makes could never be morally wrong

Another misconception is that the fact that some people make the wrong choices in life as they exercise their free will and suffer because of them indicates that either God is not omniscient and omnipotent or He is not fair . This is because some people are able to commit sins because God does not know what they are doing or is not powerful enough to prevent them from doing the wrong things . On the other hand , if indeed He is omniscient and omnipotent , then He could not be fair because knowing that some people are about to make the wrong choices , He allows them to go ahead and commit sins then consign them to hell after they die My Philosophy Up To This Point on My

I believe in the existence of free will . I am convinced that a person lives a life of his or her own choosing . In other words , a person who is mired in poverty or who is living a life of sin has nobody to blame for the circumstances of his or her life but him- herself after the exercise of his or her free will The existence of an omnipotent , omniscient , and omnipresent God does not discount the existence of free will because I believe that God , despite the qualities attributed to Him , has actually allowed man to make his own choices in life . This is evidenced by the fact that He created a rational and thinking man who is capable of making his own decisions My Questions and Concerns about My

My main concern is how to convince every man regardless of color ethnicity , religion , and nationality that every man was created by God equally . Because of this , nobody has any right to feel superior over the rest of mankind

Also , that God , under any name and regardless of man 's religious persuasions , is the same omnipotent , omniscient , fair , and forgiving God . That the Holy Bible , the Qur 'an , and all the other scriptures should be treated as the same and one holy document

Finally , my uppermost concern is how to reconcile the existence of free will with the existence of an omnipotent , omniscient , and omnipresent God . PHI 105...
