Abstract:
Hume after arguing for the compatibility of liberty and necessity, a view now known as soft determinism or compatibilism, noted that it is not ‘possible to explain distinctly, how the Deity can be the mediate cause of the actions of sin and moral turpitude’. It seems that Hume is correct if the explanation must show specifically why an omnipotent and omnibenevolent deity must permit certain actions that to human reason seem to be unnecessary evils. On the other hand if such specifity is not required, the soft determinist who also happens to be a theist can argue that it is possible that the ac

The article considers contemporary free will defences, proposed by A. Plantinga, R. Swinburne, according to which the existence of a world in which there is free will is something more valuable than the existence of a world in which there is no free will. It is shown that contemporary forms of free will defences share with atheistic arguments from evil an anthropomorphic model of God, in which God is thought as an individual among other individuals, although endowed with attributes such as omniscience and omnipotence to an excellent degree. It has also been shown that another important point o

AbstractThis article deals with the etymology of the Hattic throne-goddess dḪanwaašuit and the functions of the Hattic case ending with -(V)n. Usually, this case marks a noun for the genitive case in a phrase with two nouns N1-(V)n N2. In the Hattic corpus, there are nouns ending with -(V)n without having a second noun (N2) next to it (free n-case). This paper provides examples of free n-case words with possessive meanings, e. g. takeha=un „the lion’s one“ or wur=un „the country’s (people)“. A free n-case word is a denominal noun which is comparable with a possessive noun or a nominalized adje

Abstract:
Religion is a significant social phenomenon that influences human life, particularly through its claims about physical and spiritual meaning. In Nigeria, three major religions exist: African Traditional Religion (ATR), Christianity, and Islam. While ATR is indigenous, Christianity and Islam are imported and considered revealed religions. Both foreign religions claim divine mandates to convert humankind, asserting their monotheistic God as the only true deity. Christianity’s doctrines are rooted in the Apostle’s Creed, while Islamic beliefs are derived from the Hadith of Prophet Mohammed (AS).

Abstract:
Shirk means associating any partners with Allah SWT. Tawhid clearly teaches us that Allah SWT does not share His Rububiah (Lordship) or divine attributes with anything or any partner. A clear example of shirk is idolatry or polytheism, that is worship of deity, god or anything other than Allah. Shirk is a paramount sin in Islam, the one unforgivable sin. However, this term is in the holy verses of the Qur'an that are "difficult" for humans to understand and appreciate. Usually, the interpretation of the word shirk will be given a description of its meaning and consequences to the perpetrator.

This article examines the practice of interfaith prayers and Islamic perspective of it. The phenomenon of interfaith prayers in Indonesia is a result of the widespread understanding of religious pluralism propagated by liberals in this country. After a deeper examination using critical analysis, it is found that such prayers cannot be justified and are not acceptable to sound reason and true faith. Each religious community participating in joint prayers has their own diverse concepts of God, and each of them has their distinct ways to depict their deity and specific methods of expressing their

Abstract:
Semiotics is a theory in literature that tends to study and analyze the signs and symbols present in literary corpus of which Ifa is one. It looks at how these signs and symbols convey meaning and interpretation. Semiotics explores the relationship between the signifier (the physical form of the sign) and the signified (the concept or idea represented by the sign). This theory helps us to understand how language, images, and other forms of communication contribute to the overall meaning and interpretation in a literary work. By examining the semiotics, we can uncover deeper layers of meaning,

Abstract Standard versions of the argument from evil concern the evils God fails to prevent: the pain and suffering of human beings and non-human animals, and the sins people commit. The most ambitious versions of the argument claim that the existence of evil is logically incompatible with the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient, and completely benevolent deity. More-cautious approaches maintain that the existence of pain and sin ought to make us skeptical about any such deity. Or that the extent of the suffering in the millions of years of sentient life on Earth gives us strong reason to t

Abstract This chapter extends the expressivist interpretation of Hobbes’s natural theology to his treatment of God’s moral attributes. Most of the chapter is devoted to addressing two possible challenges to my approach: first, the argument that Hobbes’s deterministic metaphysics entails that the deity is responsible for all our sins, and hence is in fact morally imperfect (no matter what laudatory honor-expressing moral epithets Hobbes might like to bestow upon it); and second, the charge that Hobbes’s use of voluntarist language shows that he is committed to understanding God’s justice and go

With the individual to stand on trial alone and with the odds more against him than in his favour, R.

Abstract The nineteenth-century musical drama U Shin Gyi, Lord of Brackish Waters relates karma’s tragic turns: as a result of playing his harp at the shore of an uncharted island, the protagonist ceases to exist and a novel personage—a deity—steps into being in his place. This spectacular transformation, one that can be observed on stage and that expands into ritual, stakes out the limits of the phenomenological body. For the phenomenological body, despite having been theorized as relational and malleable, can never account for radical change. This chapter proposes to rethink phenomena of tra

Earlier studies have asserted the function of prophetic call narratives to legitimate or authorize prophetic mission, forge bonds of continuity between prophets and their predecessors, and introduce salient themes found elsewhere in the prophetic book. It is argued here that the embodied encounter between prophet and deity enables and shapes the prophet’s embodied mediation between deity and people.
