Utilitarianism or God, must we choose? This question has been asked for many years and many scholars have had difficulty deciding whether it is possible to follow God's will and the principle of utility maximization. The principle of utility maximization was a theory created by John Stuart Mill and presented in his book Utilitarianism (1863). Societies over the years have argued that these theories are difficult to combine, as utilitarianism seeks self-development and God's teachings seek community growth. This article will start with a context on the reality of society, then it will try to clarify what the biblical vision of utilitarianism is by explaining the principle of utilitarianism, what society must change to avoid forgetting God's principles and basing its behavior only on those of Mill. theory, how society should accept both theories and combine them into one to create a better society. An important part of this discussion is based on understanding what is happening to society today. Societies around the world are becoming increasingly individualistic, which is causing problems that can affect the entire world, problems such as terrorist attacks, wars or even, on a smaller but perhaps more important scale, starvation. This basically happens because every single member of every society only cares about themselves instead of the group, they are just trying to progress individually, but most of these individuals forget that to really reach the top you need help, and that help comes from other individuals. The following part of the article will attempt to clarify the biblical view of Mill's theory, utilitarianism. Utilitarianism has always been seen as a theory opposed to the teachings of God. This is absolutely not correct. Jesus gave us the prime example of understanding Mill's principle by dying on the cross. Of course it is simple to say that Jesus died for every human being and this is evidence of community spirit rather than individualism, however Jesus showed that he was not actually following His own will but the will of God, which is shown in the passage before Jesus he is captured by the Roman soldiers: «My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not as I will, but as thou wilt” (Matthew 26:39). What Jesus was showing is that every single human being has within them the principle of utilitarianism... middle of paper...
