PhD: Twitter quote 58

PhD: Twitter quote 58 

Preface

Is there ever significant, human, moral and ethical responsibility for acts and actions? In general, do human beings have 'deeds'?

Revelation 20:12 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 

And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.

Twitter version I

W.T. Stace (1952)(1976) explains that moral responsibility is consistent with determinism in the context of soft determinism and requires it. Stace (1952)(1976: 29). 

Twitter version II

If human actions are uncaused then reward or punishment would be unjustified. Stace (1952)(1976: 29). 

Twitter version III

Stace reasons that there must be at least some human cause within human actions to make them morally responsible. Stace (1952)(1976: 30). 

Twitter version IV

If human actions were coerced or forced with hard determinism, persons could not be held morally responsible. Pojman (1996: 596).

At the same time, if human beings are not at least a secondary cause of actions primarily caused by God, then human actions would be morally insignificant. My view based on Stace (1952)(1976: 30).

    There is daylight, there is night. Likewise, there is always goodness and evil in the human imagination. The two of them mingled in human desires. Fortunately, human race is different from animal. Human was blessed with a mind (intellect) with the hope to overcome wild desires. The decision (as a cause) is in the human hands. Its implementation (deeds) depends on their desires and decision. This mortal world is a testing ground for humans.

    Perhaps this link have an answer for this complexity:
