    Which of the following is rejected by Deism? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is rejected by Deism?

    • Infallibility of scriptures

    • Free will of humanity

    • Reason in religion

    • Morality over doctrine

    Correct Answer
    A. Infallibility of scriptures
    Explanation
    Deism rejects the concept of infallibility of scriptures because it emphasizes the belief in a higher power who created the universe but does not intervene in its affairs. Deists believe that reason and logic should be used to understand the world, rather than relying on religious texts that claim to be infallible. They emphasize the use of human reason and observation to understand the natural world and do not believe in the divine inspiration or absolute truth of religious scriptures.

    Deism and Unitarianism both believe that: - ProProfs

    Deism and Unitarianism both believe that:

    • Jesus is divine

    • The trinity is false

    • Apostle Paul's teaching is more important than that of Jesus

    • Jesus died as an atonement for sin

    Correct Answer
    A. The trinity is false
    Explanation
    Deism and Unitarianism both reject the concept of the trinity, which states that God is three persons in one: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. They believe that God is one singular entity and that Jesus is not divine in the traditional sense. Instead, they view Jesus as a human prophet or teacher. Therefore, the statement "The trinity is false" aligns with the beliefs of both Deism and Unitarianism.
