A Comparison & Contrast of Both
- Both based in Gen 3
- This creates a problem for atheists
- Ireneaus's theodicy isn't dependent on
the biblical view of humanity
- Flaw of Augustines = if there was no knowledge
of good and evil then how is there freewill for
man to refuse Gods goodness?
- Both theodicies are
subjective and created from
attitudes, opinions and
beliefs of both philosophers
- Augustines is
outdated and it does
not consider the
evolutionary
approach
- Ireneaus is evolutionary
- Being 'seminally present' is
biologically impossible and its
pessimistic
- If God is omnibenelovent, then why does he
predestine some people for condemnation?
- Why should we have to be
responsible for ancestors
mistakes?
- Ireneaus believes that freewill
develops man morally and spirtually
- Both do not qualify God
- This means that they are
both a true theodicy
- Theists will accept both theodicies
- Ireneaus believes in purgatory which
contradicts religious texts
