Abstract

God’ s limited and conditioned attributes of action are the manifestation and expression of His essential absolute attributes of action; however, their limitedness is due to their simultaneous working with each other and in relation to creation. Among the attributes of action, the attribute of wisdom – the manifestation of the essential attribute of knowledge – is dominant over other attributes and constraints them. John Schellenberg, in the Divine Hiddenness Argument, has been heedless of the distinction between these two categories of attributes; something that has resulted in firstly, that he assigns Divine love to an absolute form of human love by employing an analogous approach and secondly, by confusing the different forms of love, i. e. agape and eros, that he have an incorrect understanding of Divine love and the level of their absoluteness and thirdly, even with the validity of Schellenberg’ s emphasis on the distinction between the Hiddenness Argument and the Argument for Evil, his use of the former as a disaffirmation of Divine infinite love somehow takes a person’ s mind to the Argument of Evil and is an incorrect use of it. Based on the action attribute of wisdom, one can show that in contrast to Schellenberg’ s claim, Divine hiddenness does not only not disaffirm Divine love; rather, it is a manifestation of God’ s wise love for man and we will be indicating some of this wisdom in this paper.
