Attributes of God: A Recap Watch the video and write down the 5 contradictions of God’s attributes… 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

Boethius and The Consolation of Philosophy (480-525ce) He observed that what the omniscient God foresees in the future must happen. Whether it happens because he sees it or because it will happen is irrelevant . God may not directly cause our actions but, in seeing them, they become necessary and we can not do otherwise. Boethius sees that this produces several problems: Pointless to punish people If actions are foreseen and not prevented does this make god responsible? No point in prayer

His solution? Boethius argued that God’s life is limitless and that God possesses the whole of his life eternally without end. For God, there is no past, present and future. Instead God exists eternally and all of time is present to God at the same time. God does not see the future as it happens, instead Boethius argues that all time is present to God ‘simultaneously’. Boethius believes that God is simple and therefore impassable and immutable. “And God possesses this present instant comprehension of and sight of all things not from the issuing of future events but from his own simplicity.” Boethius, Consolation of Philosophy
