Justified
Puritan Board Sophomore
Do voluntarist models of God entail moral capriciousness? Could God have willed that murder is good? Could he have willed that stealing is good?
I ask because I am sympathetic to voluntarist views of God, since necessitarian views of God tend to make two Gods-- his nature and "God." Necessitarian views of God also ignore the voluntarist nature of many passages of Scripture. Nevertheless, I am having difficulty thinking through this issue.
