John Schellenberg argues that God would never withhold the possibility of conscious personal relationship with Him from anyone for the sake of greater goods, since there simply would not be greater goods than a conscious personal relationship with God. Given that nonresistant nonbelief withholds the possibility of such relationship, this entails that God would not allow nonresistant nonbelief for the sake of greater goods. Thus, if Schellenberg is right, all greater goods responses to the hiddenness argument must fail in principle. I argue that there are good reasons for thinking that greater goods responses do not, for the above reason, fail in principle.

神圣的隐藏和没有更大的财物的问题

约翰·谢伦伯格（John Schellenberg）争辩说，上帝永远不会为了更大的利益而拒绝任何人与他建立有意识的个人关系的可能性，因为根本没有比与上帝有意识的个人关系更伟大的利益。鉴于不抗拒的不信阻止了这种关系的可能性，这意味着上帝不会为了更大的利益而允许不抗拒的不信。因此，如果 Schellenberg 是对的，那么原则上所有对隐藏性论证的更大商品的反应都必须失败。我认为有充分的理由认为，由于上述原因，更大的商品反应在原则上不会失败。
