This is, in this day and age, the most important thing to teach.
Yeah, people need to think more critically.
I'm 71. There have been instances in my life which I consider miraculous. They occurred to get my attention. Neither sought nor understood at the time yet they happened.
Thank you for this discussion. Wonderful and difficult all at once.
That's Aquinas for ya
You're most welcome! Thanks very much for watching. God bless you.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I guess I dont need to understand (Romans 8:26-27 ), as His will happens regardless of my understanding-as that is what we are called to do. But I do want to try to understand....without, umm, having to ask anyone directly. So thanks for this and the other follow up videos! I really do appreciate this. Agape.-Kristy
Great work Father thank you
Best explanation of reasonableness of faith I have ever heard!
Very clear and logical, thank you!
Awesome!!!! A great video. Addresses very well some common points against the Faith.
Thanks very much! God bless you.
Saint Thomas Aquinas is "via media" between faith and reason. It would be interesting to compare Aquinas and St.Augustine point of view about these difficult and fascinating aspects. Great channel. God bless the "canes Domini".
Aquinas's is very much an Augustinian mind. St. Thomas cited St. Augustine more than 10,000 times! Thanks very much for watching. God bless you!
This is true especially about the purpose of physical miracles. What is more important is the moral miracle. (Just an opinion) I hope I am correct
St thomas aquinas summarized all his works which he himself said, "when reason ends, faith begins"
Yeah, people have to think more critically. I think it is ok to believe/acknowledge miracles and the supernatural as long as they do this.
A river has to flow before it can be interrupted.
Between these priests and the Hillbilly Thomists, the Dominicans might be my favorite religious order right about now!
Agree!
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Coolness.
"UNITY." (OBVIOUS)
It seems like faith is a supernatural gift. But (at the beginning) we can trust that Christianity is the truth because the other systems are contradictory?

Aren’t you the guy who wrote the song “Bourbon, Bluegrass, and the Bible”? If so, my compliments. Been listening to your album all day.
Correct! Thanks for listening. Keep an eye and an ear out for the Hillbilly Thomists' third album this summer! (And keep watching TI videos, too).

That’s awesome, and I definitely will! If you don’t mind, I have a quick question for you (hopefully it’s quick).
Can you spell out the relationship between the will and the intellect? Specifically, can you explain how it’s possible to assent to a truth beyond reason’s grasp merely by the will’s perception of it as good? As far as I can tell, this is what the act of faith in Christian belief just is, but I’m wondering how we can do this in Christianity specifically and not in, say, Islam or any other monotheism. Does it reduce to a question of historicity? I’d love to hear your thoughts on it, because it seems to me this is really the vital bridge between being a mere classical theist and being a Christian of some variety (ok that was a pretty long question lol). Any comments on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not quite convinced. This seems to propose a stance that one should use reason (e.g. through philosophy and historical science) when this reasoning actually supports scripture (e.g. the historicity of Jesus) but neglect reason and trust blindly when it doesn't (e.g. miracles). This is very... convenient.
I agree, but there's an important distiction. In thomism, faith and reason must be consistent. So I can't believe something by faith if reason correctly provides evidences *against* that belief, if this happens it's a misunderstanding of faith. But if reason just can't say anything about a certein matter, if it can't provvide any positive nor negative evidence, it's a different matter. The fact that something is not confirmed by reason doesn't mean that it's disproved.
There's a problem in your logic. That is, miracle are not unreasonable. It is contrary to the laws of nature, but not unreasonable.
@@FringeWizard2 Yeah, "contradict" is not a suitable word choice. Can't think of a suitable word right now.
If I had a way to tell you anything other then I believe , I got no idea how I would do so, and what I could say I will not tell you.
Your just going to have to take my word for it , it would be unreasonable for me to deny that I believe , because I would be a bald
face lier.
