Paidon: are you a cosmic warfare theodicist ?

jack:

sorry, just picking this up now: MGB = maximally great being - it’s a common abbreviation on the RF forums where this was picked up from. Its to do with Plantinga’s ontological argument, but basically shorthand for a philosophical conception of God as the most awesome being imaginable.

As regards theodicy see my post that looks like an equation.

It might help for people to see the use of the term maximally great being in context. Here it is, as used in the cosmological argument from William Craig’s *Reasonable Faith *site.

Thanks pog.

lancia, that too is helpful. I remember reading that somewhere, perhaps Evangelical Salvation?:The Current Debate? The concept is very much a part of my own view of God. I should and probably will adopt that phraseology now. “Maximally Great Being” Yes! That’s the God I know.
