Reference: Dualism
Hastings
The belief in, or doctrine of, two ultimate conflicting principles, powers, or tendencies in the universe. Haeckel describes as dualism the distinction between God and the world, and between matter and mind, and opposes to it his monism, which identifies both (Riddle of the Universe, ch. 1, p. 8). In this sense of the word the Bible teaches dualism. It does distinguish God as Creator from the world as created (Ge 1:1; Isa 40:26; Joh 1:3), and describes God as Spirit in contrast with matter (Joh 4:24). In man it distinguishes the body taken from the dust, and the spirit given by God (Ge 2:7; Ec 12:7). This conclusion need not be proved further, as this view is implied in all the teaching of the Bible about God, world, man. But, setting aside this new sense of the term, we must consider whether the Bible gives evidence of dualism in the older sense, as opposing to God any antagonist or hindrance in His creating, preserving, and ruling the world. It is held that dualism in three forms can be traced in the Bible
