THE ENTITLEMENT OF FREE WILL AND FREEDOM

FREEDOM

OMNIPOTENT?

• The general belief prior to the holocaust...
• God was all powerful. Definition of omnipotent.
• Holocaust questions this attribute of God, Why?
• Because God did nothing to prevent it from happening.

INTERVENTION

• Questions arise asking why didn't God intervene in any way, shape or form
• The answer to these questions would be HE COULD NOT, Why?
• God did not have the power to intervene
• To sit and say that God could have prevented the holocaust would be false

CONTINUE INTERVENTION

• In Genesis, God gave up his all powerfulness at the time of creation
• By giving up his power, we (humans) were able to have free will
• If God was to somehow intervene, it would violate out freedom which he entitled to us freely
• Humans had the choice to prevent the Holocaust from happening but choose not too.

CONCLUSION

• Dominion- refers to humans responsibility to free will, With great power comes great responsibility
• God can't get back his power since we have free will
• Also with freedom, God gives us commands in which we can accept or reject like reproduce.
• These commands allow us to think and believe that we are free, hence God's power is let go
• This explains why God wasn't able to intervene in this horrific incident
