Leibniz

I feel like Leibniz has a lot of the same theories/thoughts as Tillich. They both are under the impression that all evil is at the fault of God. I totally disagree with both of them in that matter. I think that God gave us the choice to sin, so that we aren't just breathing organisms, but so that we can be our own person and decide for ourselves and it is in our own faith that we should choose the right paths.

  1. I agree that Leibniz is very similar to Tillich. I also agree that God is not at fault for sin and they we have a choice for sin. But I understand the point Leibniz is trying to make and it is a very controversial topic in the Christian society. Does free will truly exist even though God knows every choice we will make throughout our lives before we are born? In my opinion it does exist but you can see why Leibniz and Tillich want to blame God for sin.
