A DEMONSTRATION OF GOD AND THE ARGUMENTS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF CHRISTIAN GOD IN CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS (12)
by Dr. Paul B. Jang (Ph.D, Christian Apologetics) (¿µ¹®) ✝✝✝

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURES:
PHILOSOPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF
THE CONCEPTS AND EXISTENCE OF GOD
HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL SURVEY

God as a Reality or a Symbol

And yet the writer has mentioned about the philosophical background of Paul Tillich s theology. The writer is going to deal with what is the conception of his God.
God as a Reality and a Symbol

The conception of Tillich s God is regarded as a Reality and a Symbol. If so, at first, what is the Reality which Tillich has talked about? That is as following: His God is Ground of whole being, especially Ground of human being, the reality related to the ultimate concern of human being, and a serious concern about human being.

In other words, what is human being? Where does human being come from, and where do they go? What is the meaning of the existence of mine? It means that reality is the answer to such questions. Man who does not ask the meaning of his existence can not be regarded as a true man. Human life, living without such questions, cannot be regarded as a human life in the true sense. This is the so called his existential anthropology.

Religion has the most faithful ultimate concern on the momentous event, namely the meaning of his existence. Accordingly, whichever religion it is, the religion has the same meaning in the case of having the answer to the question of this ultimate concern. It is the primary task that religion points out, the Reality of all reality. Therefore, whichever religion has this ultimate concern.

Even though Buddhism has no the word God, it is the same in all the religions because it has the ultimate concern of human being. By the way, problem is the ultimate concern of the religions that it is just identified with God of Christianity.

If the meaning of human existence is an ultimate concern, how can it be understood? This is problem. On this, Tillich says that an experience of holiness can make us understand God, the Ultimate Concern. The experience of this holiness must be commonly latent in every man. Every one lives having experienced the holiness.

Every man must have an object which he does desire to entrust across the ages and countries of the world. Only this experience of holiness can make us grasp the meaning of God. It is the very Ultimate Concern. We cannot live meaningful life without the Ultimate Concern of human being. Man must recognize a holy object. Accordingly, the Ultimate Concern must be expressed as the Holy to man.

The World history of religion shows this fact just as it is. The Ultimate Concern would be expressed as the plant, animal, celestial body, man, and even immaterial world according to the country, nation, and customs. But all the ultimate realities are the same together. They are nothing more than the various forms of a holy experience. 💟💟💟
