"Christus Victor" (Christ the Victor);humanity is held captive by Satan, Satan demands a randsom in exchange so Jesus dies & goes to hell for 3 days (that's the random); Jesus' saving power is His divinity | Randsom Theory |
Jesus is the "new Adam"; for every act of Adam's disobedience Jesus replaces it with obedience; Adam sins at the tree but Christ recapituates on the tree; Jesus recupitates all of humanity's wrongs (goes over ayah) | Recapulation Theory |
Satan holds humanity hostage so God sets a trap for Satan; Jesus' humanity becomes the bait-Satan takes Jesus to hell; Jesus' divinity becomes the hook-Satan wrongly brings God to hell; now Satan owes God a debt b/c Satan overstepped his boundaries | Mousetrap Theory |
making up 4a wrong/paying 4a debt;debt is owed to God b/c of human sin;humans have the obligation to make satisfaction but not the ability; God has the ability; God has the ability to make satisfaction but He doesn't have the obligation | Satisfaction Theory |
Jesus has the obligation to save us (being human)&the ability (being God); Jesus pays the debt to God | Satisfaction Theory |
Jesus takes the place of each human&suffers the penalties 4 sin in place of humanity;a very simple understanding of atonement;we sin=we are punished=we die=we can't go 2 heaven due 2 all our punishments | Penal Substitution |
Jesus literally becomes our savior because God looks past our punishments; emphasises Jesus' death | Penal Substitution |
humans can go to heaven but they don't feel God's love enough to choose it; God sends Jesus to turn up the heat of God's love; Jesus sets the example by loving & it literally God's love in the world | Love of Christ |
Beatific Vision | seeing God face to face at particular judgment (the moment of death when life is "judged") |
in heaven we keep our individual identities | Catholic view of heaven |
general judgment | at the end of time, when all God's creation is restored to God |
particular judgment | at the moment of death when your life is "judged" |
the final purification, before heaven, that removes all sin | Catholic view of Purgatory |
Biblical Roots: Maccabees: prayers for the dead; tells us that God told us to pray for the dead; protestants easily dismiss this because they don't have Maccabees in their Bible; if God told us to pray for the dead there must be a state before heaven | Catholic view of Purgatory |
Biblical Roots: Matthew: unforgiveable sin; "whoever utters blasphamy against the Holy Spirit won't be pardoned in this age or the age to come" | Catholic view of Purgatory |
suffering in purgatory is associated with distance from God | Catholic view of Purgatory |
________ is contriversal because the debate is whether or not it's a state of being | Purgatory |
John 3:18 | Catholic view of hell |
"the church affirms the existance of hell & its eternity. THe chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God" | CCC Catholic view of hell |
a state (not an actual place but a way of being) of difinitive self-exclusion from God & all that God is (love, joy, comfort, etc) | Catholic view of hell |
God doesn't send anyone to hell but you send yourself; the church knows of no person who is in hell (they don't know who chose God and who didn't) | Catholic view of hell |

three types of evil | moral (sin), physical (suffering), and natural (natural disaster) |
Aquinas' argument (the problem of evil) | this is (not the Catholic way) how others are thinking:if 1 of 2 opposites is infinate, the other is completely impossible; God is infinite goodness; if God existed, then there could not be evil in the world but there is evil therefore, God does not exist |
C.S. Lewis' argument (the problem of evil) | (here's how i see the ?not Catholic view):if God is all-good, God want's His creatures happy, if God is all-powerful, He can do whatever He wants, but the creatures aren't happy, therefore, God must lack the goodness, power, or both |
logical propositions (problem of evil) | only 3 of these 4 statements can be true: God exists, God is all-good, God is all-powerful, Evil exists |
why is the problem of evil important | it's the only proof for atheism that God can't exist if al all good God made evil; it's not just theoretical, but has practical consequences on everyday life, & it's universal to all peoples at all times |
how can we state the problem of evil? | any evil disproves the idea of an all-good God; the amount of evil disproves the idea of an all-good God; the unjust distribution of evil among good people as well as bad disproves God (innocent people die) |
problem of evil: atheism | deny that God exists |
problem of evil: pantheism | deny that God is defined as all goodness, make God something else; God is a force but isn't conscious |
problem of evil: naturalism | deny that God is all powerful, make God a being in space and time, imperfection & growth |
problem of evil: idealism | deny the existence of evil, maybe it's just a perspective or an illusion of human consciousness (Hinduism, Christian Science) (associated with scienctology) |
problem of evil: Biblical Theism | deny that the 4 logical propositions are contradictory by re-considering the definitions of the 4 (a Christian response) |
