Catholics Reply:
I shall include my comments
directly under his, comments, in order to make it an easy reference to each
specific point that Thomas has raised. This is indeed a well thought out
position.
BUT is proves clearly and without discussion that it is based
ONLY on only human logic.
No credit is given to Jesus as a all- Good-God; able to do ANY GOOD THING.
If in FACT, the Catholic position is correct; then this becomes the
GREATEST POSSIBLE GOOD in the entire history of the Universe.
I’m finding it beneficial to keep
reminding myself that Thomas too, like us is a Baptized Christian. A Brother in
Christ, and that this is not a direct assault on us personally. It is evident
the he loves, and in his own way is serving God.
It is also evident that my
understanding of God limiting Protestant understanding is too correct.
While
the arguments are well thought out, and a bit different than the normal
Protestant explanation; based on John 6: selected verses; 35-69,
there clearly is lacking the depth of understanding
of God’s very Nature and the precise reason for human existence
and how they
necessarily relate as expressed within the Bible itself. God’s basis for
imposing such a penalty is::
Matt. 25: 27-29 …“So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
…
For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance;
but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away”
All those
who are “given more “ [Baptized], will be held to a far more critical
evaluation by God.
, as the Holy Spirit is AVAILABLE to them for guidance.
