Excerpt from Truth and Counter Truth
There are certain fundamental truths of revealed religion which it is impossible to state explicitly without running counter to other truths, as necessary and as well established as themselves. What, in such a case, are we to do? May we receive the one and reject the other? Such is the way of heresy. May we side with the one and neglect the other? That were partisanship. We are to receive both, and to hold to both; this is to prove and test our Faith. The relation of Divine Omnipotence to mans free will is a case in point. God's almighty power is a truth that admits of no question: it is simply to say, God is God. But the Divine Omnipotence has for a counter-truth the fact of man's free agency. This too, is a truth that admits of ho question; it is simply to say, man is man and not a machine. Now if we keep the eye fixed exclusively on the power of God, we shall incline towards Fatalism: if, with the Pelagian, on the other hand, we regard man as an absolute cause, we overturn the very foundations of the mystery of grace. It is of Faith to receive both truths: the trial and test of Faith is to bold to both positively and without reserve.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the core mysteries at the heart of the Christian faith, exploring the nature of the Trinity, the relationship between human free will and divine omnipotence, and the paradoxical mingling of humanity and divinity in Jesus Christ. The author argues that these paradoxes cannot be rationally explained, nor should we attempt to reconcile them, but that they are accepted by faith. The book draws upon the writings of Christian thinkers, such as Augustine and Chrysostom, theologians, and philosophers to provide a comprehensive treatment of the subject and to demonstrate that, far from being a reason to doubt, these mysteries can strengthen our faith and deepen our understanding of the Christian story. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
