CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURES:
PHILOSOPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF
THE CONCEPTS AND EXISTENCE OF GOD
HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL SURVEY
Relation Between God, The Object Of Ultimate Concern And God

What is God ?

I have already mentioned about God of whom Paul Tillich had spoken. His God is not only an ultimate concern but a something symbolic. And also he says that God is not a being but a power of Being let a being to be.

In other words, it is the Ground of Being or Power of Being . Because the words being exists must result in non-being also exists, which is contradictory to each other. It is God (Tillich, 1967, 12, 214).

What is Living God?

Before talking about this question, we must generally recognize what is being. It can be said that the fact of being is living being. Whole living being has to pass through the three processes, namely self-identification, self-change, and self-return. This universal processing is based on the Ground of Being. Therefore, the living God is an attitude of living being as the Atom, living creature, man, and society.

And it is the actual state of formation and creation in the process of the life of self-perfection, self-production, and self-purification of man. Therefore, the living God is not the personal God but the concept of the state of something that happened in the existential world.

What is the Spirit of God?

In the past, Paul Tillich says, Christianity had regarded God as the personal One because of misunderstanding. He continues to talk about God, God is not a personal One. The term Personality in Trinity is no more than the term being masked.

Therefore the term Spirit of God is the word to which it has been contrived by the Protestantism, the middle-class citizen society, and they have applied God to even the conception of personality. This is Paul Tillich s point of view on the concept of God. But Paul Tillich has made the crucial mistake to God.

First, this is tantamount to a death sentence of God because he had already denied the person of God. Second, this is a challenge against Theology because he already had driven God out of his theology.

What is Love of God?

The symbols of God s power are the omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience. Therefore, whoever does literally accept and recognize these terms as the terms on God as such must be blind and ignorant. If God is Almighty, why are there diseases, sorrows, wars, destroys, shed blood by killing, and orphans in the world?

If God lives in this world, the God is no more than a God who is like the tyrant in this world. Therefore, the Love of Agape is no more than the term used by its symbol. This love is the same as the great mercy and compassion of Buddhism. This is the theory of God existence of Paul Tillich.

Because of the misconception of God s existence, his philosophical theology has been wrong from the start. His God is not a personal One but nothing more than a symbol. Why did he make the mistake on the concept of God? He did make that mistake because of using the existential philosophy as a methodology of his Christian theology.

All the people must have their God likewise. Accordingly, whoever must have their God, so called an Ultimate Concern, at any place at any ages. In this sense, Paul Tillich has expressed and explained God as an Ultimate Concern, and systemized his theology. But how can we agree this concept of God to the Christian concept?

Because his God is no more than a symbolic God and polytheistic as well as pantheistic One, it can not be accepted into Christian doctrine, though he has used the word God. His conception of God is very different from the Christian conception of God. His conception of God is non-Biblical, non-Faithful, and non-Christian. 💟💟💟
