Paradise Lost Essay -- Analysis, Milton
The seat of faith resides in the lead of the individual and not in the leaning to our own logical thinking, for reasoning is the freedom of choosing what one accepts as ones will. In considering the will was created and one cannot accuse the potter or the clay, Milton writes to this reasoning, as thir own revolt, whereas the clay of hu homosexualkind is sufficient and justly pliable for use as a vessel of homage or disobedience (3.117). The difficulty of this acceptance of obedience or disobedience is inherent in the natural unwillingness in acknowledging that we are at the disposal of another being, even paragon. One fore of Paradise Lost is humankinds disobedience to a Creator, a Creator that claims control over its creation. When a single living topic which God has made escapes beyond the Creators control this is in essence an eradicating of the Creator God. A Creator who would create a pecker who the Creator would or could not control its creation is not a sovereign God. F or who would not hold someone responsible for manufacturing something that could not be controlled and consider it immoral to do so? To think that God created a universe that he has somehow abdicated to its own devices is to accredit immorality to the Creator. Since the heart and soul of Miltons epic poem is to justifie the wayes of God to his creation, these arguments are set in theological Miltonesque terms in his dustup (1. 26). Miltons terms and words in Paradise Lost relate the view of God to man and Miltons view to the reader. Views viewed in theological terms that have blazed many an(prenominal) wandering paths through the centuries to knot up imperfect men to rationalize perfect God. To justify the ways of God is a well-trodden path, but in that location is more to only one path. For if... ...o tensions. Paul the apostle wrote by the same opinion that Milton claimed that the Potter has the power over the clay and by the riches of Gods mercy he shall bespeak mercy upo n who he wants to show mercy. Theologians of history, Augustine, Wyclif, Luther, Zwingli, Calvin and others all held this doctrine of predestination and taught it with vigor. With vigor predestination stands in parole and the challenge for Milton was to demonstrate the Father is reasonable, but at the same season God is the Almighty. So where does Miltons views stand in relation to a perfect God? As others before of Providence, Foreknowledge, Will and Fate, Fixt Fate, free will, foreknowledge absolute, in the Apostle Pauls reply O man, who art gigabyte that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, why hast meter made me thus (2.559,560- Romans 920 K.J.V.)?
