Divine Soul The vehicle or garment of the divine ego, which in its turn is the field or vehicle of the divine monad -- terms referring to the human monadic centers. As the inner god corresponds to the divine monad and the inner buddha to the divine ego, so the divine soul may be said to be the expression of the buddha in manifestation on earth.

Divine grace - Ideas of grace in the Hebrew Bible. While a single word rendered into English as grace is not strictly speaking present in the Hebrew Bible, a number of concepts used to describe God in Biblical-era Judaism are forerunners to the Christian concept of grace. One such concept is named by the Hebrew word chesed, which in one of William Tyndale's happier coinages was translated as loving-kindness. The core concept here centers around the faithfulness and forbearance needed t ...

It's possible for the religious believer simply to swallow or to brush off some or all of the philosophical objections. For example, writers like William of Ockham argue that if God had commanded murder, then murder would indeed have been morally obligatory. Indeed, Ockham goes so far as to say that God could change the moral order at any time. Thus Ockham embraces divine command theory wholeheartedly; his view has been characterised as being that "God's command is good" is analytically true. He can be thought of as saying: "God could have commanded us to commit murder, and then it would have been obligatory — but ...

Most Christians believe that people receive salvation through the grace of God. Most Christians of any of the major Western denominations agree that mankind is born in a state of sin. This is a consequence of original sin; a sinful nature is inherited; it is part of man's condition. Traditionally, original sin is explained as a result of the fall of man through the first sins of Adam and Eve in Eden. Some would now reject the story from Genesis as history. But even those who reject it still agree that men are born in sin. The original ...

Some biographers such as Robert Weisbrot suppose that Father Divine was a forerunner to the civil rights struggles of the 1950s and 1960s, heavily influenced by his upbringing in the segregated South. Others, such as Jill Watts reject not only this characterization, but also the theory Father Divine grew up in the Deep South. Watts subscribes to the Rockville, Maryland theory of his upbringing and asserts that Rockville was less oppressive than the south or even Baltimore, Maryland. Watts believes his civil rights positions are unintelligible without evalua ...

This term is an integral part of John Calvin's theological framework known as Calvinism. Calvinism emphasisizes the depravity of man and the complete sovereignty of God. God's plan for the world and every soul that he has created is guided by his will, or providence. According to Calvin, the idea that man has a free will and is able to make choices independently of what God has already determined is based our limited understanding of God's perfection and the illusion (created by Satan) that we are able to reject God's plan for us. In this ...

The theory runs into many philosophical problems. It implies that what is good is arbitrary, based merely upon god's whim; if god had created the world to include the values that rape, murder, and torture were virtues, while mercy and charity were vices, then they would have been. It's not, of course, possible to reply that god wouldn't have commanded such things because he wouldn't command evil, for on this theory it's only his command that makes them evil. It implies that calling god good makes no sense — or, at best, that one is simply saying th ...

DIVINATION

Works on the principle that meaningful coincidence, or synchronicity, is not the exception, but the rule of reality. All things and events reflect all other things and events in past, present and future. The trick is merely learning how to read the meaning in the connection. Thus astrology is the correlation of simultaneously parallel events in heaven and earth, the patterns in tea leaves indicate comparable patterns in life, and so on. (See TAROT , GEOMANCY, SCRYING.)
