- Challenges to the idea of an interventionist God
- Classical Theism
- God is seen to be the perserver of the world and is dependent on God's sustaining activity for its existence
- An interventionist God moves in, but occasionally therefore is contrary to the idea of classical theism
- Problem of time
- An interventionist God would be limited in the time frame of the event in order to intervene
- This is incompatible with the idea that God is outside of time
- Problem of evil
- If God is able to intervene, why does he not address the real problems of the world by the means of miracles?
- God has the means (power) and the motivation (love, goodness) to eliminate evil and suffering
- However, it is obvious that there is still evil and suffering, God seems in different to the continued existence to suffering in the world
- Classical Theism
