@shitcoinity@aidannonx Julian, usually called "the apostate," tried to rebuild the Jewish temple. An earthquake destroyed their first work, and later "balls of fire" destroyed the tools, materials, and burned some of the workers to death. The project was abandoned and some converted.
@BruhFella1488 @philosophymeme0 Descartes is often called the father of modern philosophy; he is certainly not an ancient philosopher. If anything, this is Parmenides and other monists.
@TDisputations@Rayden_Creed Correct. While the principles of essence and existence are distinct in all created being, in God, His essence is the same as His act of being; "What He is" = "That He is."
@LibertyHangout Catholics must believe the Patristic consensus on faith; this is a doctrine of the faith. Ambiguous or non-binding statements of recent popes cannot overturn this unanimous agreement. If they got this wrong the Fathers are wrong on everything.
@LibertyHangout The Fathers are unanimous in their judgment about the unique creation of man and woman from man. Check the PBC declaration of 1909 on this. Check your Denzinger, Dz 3514.
@LibertyHangout Aquinas believed that Adam was formed miraculously from the earth, that Eve was fashioned from Adam’s rib, that light and plants were created before the sun, that Paradise was both a spiritual and physical location, that Noah and his flood were historical.
@trad_men @pontificatormax Yes, it's his own separate show focusing on Fortean phenomena such as ghosts, cryptids, psychic phenomena, etc. CA has problems, but this isn't one of them.
@protnonsense What's the problem with predestination supposed to be? The Augustinian-Thomistic view seems to be that of St. Paul... And yeah, Aquinas makes a few mistakes where he relies on Aristotle's science, not a big deal
@pippanie St. Athanasius writes that it is fitting that the Word, which made all things in the beginning, should restore all things. Further, the Word is God's communication, so it is fitting that He communicate salvation to the world
