Locke Religion: Divine Interventions In The World

308 Words2 Pages

As my discussion I chose to talk about Locke religion. Locke religion is standard and traditional but he had believed in deism. Locke acknowledges the existence of God and his creation of the world, but denies that God intervenes in the world either in the form of miracles or revelation.
I spoke with my father who is from a religious background. I want to know how he felt about Locke philosophy. Did he agree or disagree with Locke deism? He stated that he did not agree with his belief. He stated that according to the bible that is not true. If God doesn’t intervene why was Jesus sent to the world? God sent Jesus Christ as a divine intervention in the world to save us from our sins. As it says in the bible Romans 5:8 God shows his love for us
