The crusades come to mind, or think of the inquisition. People acting in the name of God, because my God beats your God, one God, only my God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-24125059995068320012019-06-27T07:17:51.819-07:002019-06-27T07:17:51.819-07:00Good to see that Catholicism states that natural l...Good to see that Catholicism states that natural law is knowable theoretically but practically only with Special Revelation.<br /><br />I would go a step further. The unregenerate can read Special Revelation and still not know or understand Natural Law. That is why the pagan culture celebrated shockingly immoral actions. It is like there is much of Natural Law which they did not understand to be so. They undoubtedly thought the shockingly immoral to be in agreement with the Form of Good.<br /><br />My point is that it takes a person who is reborn or born from above, whose spirit is made alive, so that his rational faculties can operate in a way that recognizes truly what the Form of Good is through General and Special Revelation.RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603112499567064214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-60733258843743163002019-06-26T07:41:28.247-07:002019-06-26T07:41:28.247-07:00Youp,

There are enemies of Logos everywhere, who actively suppress Truth to maintain the lie. Our failure to know and apply the Law perfectly is a reflection of our brokenness, which is also clearly reflected in Natural Law as well as Special Revelation.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Thomas Batemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493366024392863302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-71073238645932684912019-06-26T07:38:32.568-07:002019-06-26T07:38:32.568-07:00"Knowing" and "doing"...I thin..."Knowing" and "doing"...I think these words have different definitions, but I could be wrong.

It is also knowable by all men".<br /><br />That sounds all jolly rosy. Unfortunately, there are endless conflicts between men, women and children of the same race and religion, as well of different race and religion regarding these universal, immutable laws that are knowable to all men. Maybe they're not that universal, immutable and knowable as we'd like to have them. <br /><br /><br />Youpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-31185022889653973632019-06-26T05:30:41.194-07:002019-06-26T05:30:41.194-07:00"Known to all men."
I wonder how this w..."Known to all men."<br /><br />I wonder how this would apply to those who suffer mental retardation, or those who seem to have been wired to be without conscience? Where and why the sociopathic mind? Or....given that there are in all of nature among plants, animals, insects and fungi that operate as parasites, might we not also intuit that there is an element of those who act the same towards society within our own species?<br />I wonder?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17358062032367430793noreply@blogger.com
