Description
Summary:Theological solutions may turn out to be the result of philosophical reasoning conducive to artificially constituted non-theological “problems” on the part of scholars. Such is the case with the existence of God. This article argues that the “problem” of the existence of God has not been posed by the Scriptures. God’s existence is self-evident and it is assumed, as a given, right from Gen 1:1 to the last book of the canon, the Book of Revelation. So, the existence of God proves to be a philosophical question that has been approached by both theologians and philosophers from the perspective of Human Reason, building on the presuppositions of what later came to be known as philosophical theology, known also as natural theology. This, as one might expect, has a non-scriptural view of God, which we call the Philosophical Doctrine of God, radically non-compatible with the Trinitarian understanding of the biblical Godhead.
