I am not a Christian myself, but I love these videos. Thomist philosophy is so beautiful: he integrated seemingly incompatible concepts into a magnificent system.
Delighted to hear!
If you have learned anything from Thomist philosophy, they you want to seriously consider the reality of Christianity
Excellent disertation. I personally learn a lot and truly feel amazed at our faith, which is reasonable and in no contradiction with the true. May God bless the brothers for the charity, time and sacrifice in preparing and delivering these talks. Thanks very much!
Our pleasure!
I really wanted to understand this. But I just don't get it.
However, I HAVE experienced God's providence in my life, and it rocked me to my core. In a good way.
I love wathcing these videos!!! I consider myself a thomist, and thus this is really helpful to understand St Thomas even better!!! Thanks and keep up the good work!!! Btw, I "per accidens" met this channel, but as a true believer and a member of Schoenstatt Family, I know it's been the Divine Providence that led me here!!!
Delighted to hear! Thanks so much for the feedback!
I'm a staunch Protestant, but Thomism is a breath of fresh air in the secular, physicalist world of modern Western philosophy. Even though I don't always understand all the metaphysical concepts and terminology that Thomism employs, I still find it beautiful.
I think the movie Jacob's Ladder (1990) may explain it so thoroughly...we're given the choices we make.
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. -- Proverbs 16:9 (NIV)
Pray and fast deeply for my vocation's success, married most likely.
God bless, Rev. 21:4
Thank you for this video!
May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you!

This cleared so many things up for me. Thank you so much!!
I swear Thomas Aquinas set the standard for systematic theology and all other theologies are just commentaries on his works.
If a contingent cause is one that truly happens by chance and our choices are contingent causes, then it follows that our choices truly happen by chance. How can I be more morally responsible for a choice that reduces to chance than for one that was predetermined and could not have been otherwise?
There are some errors in your premises that lead to an incorrect conclusion. We must distinguish between two types of contingency - physical contingency and metaphysical contingency. While our choices may be physically contingent in that they are not predetermined, they are not metaphysically contingent in the sense of being "by chance" or random. The will is not subject to chance, but to reason and the moral law. Our choices are made within the context of our nature as rational beings endowed with intellect and will. We have the capacity for self-determination through our wills. Man has the power to act or not to act, to will this or that, and is therefore the principle of his moral acts. While our choices are not physically necessary in the sense of being predetermined, they are not random either, but proceed from our nature as free and rational agents.
For a choice to be truly morally imputable, it must be made from "deliberate judgment of reason" rather than by chance. Our choices bear moral weight precisely because we have the capacity, through our intellect and will, to weigh reasons and make rational decisions. We have "freedom of specification" to choose in accordance with or against right reason, and are thus responsible for the choices we make.
This video doesn’t touch on the extent of Gods knowledge in regards to per accidens causes.
Did God know the end result of the meeting at the store? If not, how is this any different than something like open theism (God of the possible), or molinism (middle knowledge)?
Excellent question! We have videos coming out on freedom (30 December) and predestination (1 January) that touch on these themes. If it's still unclear, or you're still dissatisfied, let us know and we'll chime back in. Cheers!
I want your counsel...dear father from thomistic institute organization...why are those people bragging their rights although. They know that they are not...why do they bullying repeatedly...then they said they do nothing...i need a help dear fathers

PRAISE the LORD Jesus CHRIST
I have a question which may seem quite silly, but I'm really curious. Do your robes have different weights of cloth for different seasons and climates?
If I am understanding this video correctly, this sounds like this is the view of process structuralism, where the finetuned laws of nature that God(per se causes) created lead to the contingent causes we see today and if the universe where to start over again we would see the same result because of the natural laws created and finetuned by God. Is this your viewpoint?
This supports the famous saying, "there are no coincidences".
Only consequences apparently?
Nice presentation, the most basic idea about Providence is to see it as a way by which God PROVIDES for His creation, neat!
I don't understand this. Goes above my head :(
Makes me think of the Lord of the Rings... Providence and Divine Destiny VS Chance when Bilbo comes across the Ring in Gollum's lair, or when Gollum "trips" and falls into the lava with the Ring in the Sammath Naur.
So You Telling Me God Is The Oversource
These videos are so well done!
Thanks so much for your kind words, and for taking the time to watch! May the Lord bless you!
Can you simplify in more laymens terms? I find this difficult to follow. Not familiar with the studies.
This was a really strange way to say God is both in control of everything and yet nothing bad is His fault. That’s literally what I got from this.
Your citation of Sth is in error, i think it should be I, Q.xxii, a.2
Good catch! Which citation are you talking about?
@@ThomisticInstitute Maybe I'm splitting hairs. The screen at time 0.18, introducing the subject of the lecture says "1a Q22"
@@williamjerome5836 Gotcha! We just mean to suggest that the video bears on the content of the whole question.
Excellent video!!!
Thanks Joe!
It would be cool if these videos had citations
this playlist of videos is from the wonderful book of St. Thomas Aquinas, "Summa Theologiae". They are making the book more accessible to all people by making lessons about it
Does this mean chance events aren't really per accidens but part of the will of God? Does this mean chance doesn't exist?
Edit
Does God know the outcomes of chance events? (Omniscience)
Can God cause chance events? (Omnipotence)
Is God capable of creaturely knowledge and action? Through Christ perhaps?
Are the misunderstandings or confusions about creation or God limitations with us or limitations on God?
God is omnipotent-he knows all..past present and future. So what appears to be chance is not.
Chance, random, coincidence, unknowns, these words are subjective as these only apply to humans and our ability or inability to see, or know, or understand.
