Existence of God (The Problem And Conclusion)
The Problem And Conclusion
The question of the existence of God can be an issue, or cannot utterly be. Problem is that we do depend upon or come and go astray between faith and reason. But if we utterly depend upon the Christian faith, there is entirely no problem to the question of whether God does exist or not. The contemporary theology of today has been going astray between the faith and the reason due to the philosophical theology as the theology of Paul Tillich.
The philosophy of materialism has resulted in the atheism which assumed a negative attitude to the existence of God, and the rationalism in the non-Christian philosophy and the liberalism which had a tendency to skeptism. The former may be a "plain atheism" and the other a "secret atheism." The former introduces from the conception of material to the pantheistic materialism.
Spinoza developed the theory of existence employing the evolution theory of Darwin based on monism (The Christian Literature Society, 1960, 784). Ludwig Feuerbach said that "being" cannot transcend the essence of material, and it is only insane that whoever believed in God.
Many of philosophers do believe that God does not necessarily exist because the concepts of God's existence do contradict each other.
Even though the rationalism had a little gone down passing over the philosophers, Plato, Descartes, and Kant, in modern time, it has even sentenced the death of God. One of the theologians who had first sentenced the death of God was Friedreich Nietzsche.
Fichte insisted that human reason creates God (Hoeksema, 1966, 48). Altizer sentenced the death of God effecting from the existential philosophers, Nietzsche and Heidegger (Park, 1970, 16). He said, that it is regretted that there was no ironist who tried to take off the theological veil of the doctrine of God's existence.
D. Bonhoeffer asserted that man must live "as if God does not exist" (esti deus non dareture) in the third subject, "God-commanded godlessness" in his theological thought (Presbyterian Theological Seminary, vol. 35, 4, 1968, 42, 43).
Paul Tillich, an existentio-philosophical theologian, suggested the question on the concept of being including non-being as the first problem (Tillich, 1967, 186), and defined God as the "Ground of Being" which was beyond "being" in the concept of the living God, the second problem (Tillich, 1967, 241-242).
Tillich, after all, has come to define God as only an "Ultimate Concern" influencing from the existential philosophy (Tillich, 1967, 214).
Of course, Tillich's concept of God's existence is different from that (not-being) of the ancient philosophers. For instance, Parmenides of Elea and Pythagoras were based on the concept of material. By the way, what is problem in this discussion? The problem is that the Christian theologians have been astray between the faith and the reason.
