This ontological argument originated in the work of St. Anselm, the medieval Scholastic philosopher and theologian.

) As philosopher and Anselm scholar Katherin A. Rogers observes, many contemporary philosophers of religion suppose that there are true propositions which exist as platonic abstracta independently of God.

On the other hand, Anselm of Canterbury seems to think that almightiness is one of the things that makes God count as omnipotent.

In the 11th century, St. Anselm argues that there are many things that God cannot do, but that nonetheless he counts as omnipotent.

Anselm argued that the insult given to God is so great that only a perfect sacrifice could satisfy and Jesus, being both God and man, was this perfect sacrifice.

* Anselm of Canterbury: Anselm is best known for the ontological argument for God's existence, i. e.: God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived.

Medieval Agnus Dei with halo ( religious iconography ) | halo and cross ; Euphrasian Basilica, Poreč, Croatia. The 11th century Christology of Saint Anselm of Canterbury specifically disassociates Lamb of God from the Old Testament concept of an Scape goat which is subjected to punishment for the sins of others, without knowing it or willing it.

Anselm emphasized that as Lamb of God Jesus chose to suffer in Calvary as a sign of his full obedience to the will of the Father.

However, as above Saint Anselm and John Calvin's view reject the Scapegoat symbolism for they view Jesus as making a knowing sacrifice as an agent of God, unlike an unwitting Scapegoat.

" Anselm thought that God did not feel emotions such as anger or love, but appeared to do so through our imperfect understanding.

The concept of impassibility was developed by medieval theologians like Anselm and continues to be in tension with more emotional concepts of God.

Further solutions to the existence of God have been proposed by St. Anselm, who formulated the first ontological argument ; Ibn Rushd ( Averroes ) and Aquinas, who presented their own versions of the cosmological argument ( the kalam argument and the first way ), respectively ; Descartes, who said that the existence of a benevolent God was logically necessary for the evidence of the senses to be meaningful ; and Immanuel Kant, who argued that the existence of God can be deduced from the existence of good.

While most theologians ( e. g. Anselm of Canterbury, René Descartes, and Gottfried Leibniz ) considered God as logically necessary being, Richard Swinburne argued for factual necessity, and Alvin Plantinga argues that God is a causally necessary being.

Another important argument for proof of the existence of God was the ontological argument, advanced by St. Anselm.

Anselm of Canterbury composed the ontological argument for the existence of God, which he believed to be irrefutable.

Anselm claimed his ontological argument as proof of the existence of God, whom he described as that being for which no greater can be conceived.

Thus, according to St. Anselm, the concept of God necessarily entails His existence.

Only God, as Anselm defines him, meets all of those criteria and can, therefore, be dubbed a necessary being.

Anselm speaks of human sin as defrauding God of the honour he is due.
