An Error In The Beginning Is An Error Indeed
Although I have presented quite a bit of information here in this post, it is only a small portion of what will be in the book. I have taken a portion of the material that I have written pertaining to how Saint Thomas viewed Doctrine and Scripture, and I have condensed it down and edited for this blog post. I am proud to offer this essay on the feast day of Saint Thomas Aquinas, and I hope that it helps to clear up the confusion that has surrounded Saint Thomas' writings. I hope that those who have been mislead into believing that his writings support the heresy of "Sola Scriptura" will come away with a new and more accurate image of Saint Thomas and his writings. I have broken up the post with some pictures, so you can stop and take a breather every once in awhile. I apologize for the HTML problems with the text not being uniform in the paragraphs. Perhaps someone can give me a hint as to how to correct it! Enjoy! Saint Thomas Aquinas, Divine Revelation and Sacra Doctrina By Matthew Bellisario Jan 28th, 2010. Saint Thomas' Historical Background Saint Thomas Aquinas is one of the greatest Latin dogmatic theologians the Church has ever produced. There have been attempts by those outside the Church to brand him as some type of pre-Protestant theologian, subscribing him to a form of "Scripture Alone" theology. Although some passages taken in isolation may at first glance appear to put him in such a category, more extensive reading of his material will prove him to be much in line with current Catholic dogmatic theology, which subscribes to the Scriptures as being God's written Word, being of the same substance of His Oral Word, as taught and proclaimed infallibly by Holy Mother Church in Rome. Although much can be said of the Catholic Church, it is Catholic teaching that the Church is not above God's Word, but only serves it. As we will see, Saint Thomas thought the same. In fact, Saint Thomas did not view any of these elements as being separate entities, and they all fit together almost as the Holy Trinity fit together in one substance. Just as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit cannot ever be separated apart, so the Eternal Word proclaimed in Scripture and Tradition, as taught infallibly by the Holy Spirit through the Christ's only Church, cannot be separated. But, before we can even begin to examine Saint Thomas' writings, we must first understand Saint Thomas' educational and historical background. Saint Thomas began his formal studies at Montecassino in Italy. The education he received there was a form of scholastic, classical curriculum that focused on the trivium and the quadrivium. So Saint Thomas was well versed in logic, rhe
The Beginning Is An Error Indeed Posted on May 24, 2011 by admin Rockford, Il – ProLifeCorner - 5 24 2011 – by James - An ErrorIn The Beginning Is An Error Indeed.Because the Unitarian Church in Rockford IL, has taken an active role in promoting Rockford's abortion mill we thought it would be a good idea to take a look at why they support the killing of children in the womb. Saint Thomas Aquinas rightlytaught many times, “An error in the http://catholicchampion.blogspot.com/2010/01/saint-thomas-aquinas-divine-revelation.html beginning is an error indeed.” Below is just one of many statements the Unitarian Church has made in favor of abortion. It's interesting to note the Unitarians pride themselves as church that does not believe in or use creeds. That seems to be true except when it comes to over 10 creeds or public proclamations they have made http://prolifecorner.com/an-error-in-the-beginning-is-an-error-indeed/ in favor of destroying the lives of the least of God's people. We present this Unitarian pro-abortion resolution to you with our commentary and explanation of the reality of what they are saying in bold red. Please join us in praying that Unitarian church will one day be a place where the lives of children in the womb are loved and protected. Unitarian Universalists Right to Choose 1987 General Resolution BECAUSE, Unitarian Universalists believe that the inherent worth and dignity of every person(A LIE BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT THE KILLING OF CHILDREN),the right of individual conscience(INDIVIDUAL CONSCIENCE DOES NOT GIVE ANYONE THE RIGHT TO KILL A BABY),and respect for human life are inalienable rights due every person; and that the personal right to choose in regard to contraception and abortion is an important aspect of these rights(THE ARE REALLY CONFUSED);and BECAUSE, we believe in tolerance(BUT NOT FOR UNBORN CHILDREN)and compassion for persons whose choices may differ from our own; and BECAUSE, we believe not only in the value of li
2 Warrior Life – Month 3 Warrior Life – Month 4 Warrior Life – Month 5 Warrior Life – Month 6 Bonus Top 5 Mistakes When Starting an Exercise Program Jon2 Comments March 22, 2010 In my experience there are several things that can http://warriorfitness.org/top-5-mistakes-when-starting-an-exercise-program/ contribute to failure in an exercise program, or any other goal for that matter. In the past when I would fail to achieve a specific fitness goal or suffer a setback, minor or major, I'd chalk it up to fate and just try harder the next time. As I grew older, and smarter, I began to see a pattern emerge. These things didn't just happen, there were particular sets of circumstances, most often at the outset of an exercise an error program, that combined to allow them to happen. The list below comprises what I consider to be the top 5 mistakes. You may have discovered others, and I would encourage you to share them in the Comments section below, but in my mind these are the most critical errors. As Saint Thomas Aquinas rightly taught many times, “An error in the beginning is an error indeed.” An Error in the Beginning 1. Too much too soon. Everyone wants results NOW! an error in The problem here is that when talking about results, incremental progression reigns supreme. Let's face it, if you are trying to lose weight, for example, it took a long time, maybe years, to get to be over-weight. Losing fat is not going to happen overnight, no matter what the TV ads tell you. It took time to condition yourself to be out of shape, it will take time to re-condition your body to be in shape. Be patient. Focus on the process - you'll get there! 2. Lack of a training plan. In my mind, it is essential to have some knowledge of how to program an exercise selection to correlate with the goals to be achieved. Without this it's pretty much hit or miss as to whether you achieve your goals, or even remain consistent. 3. Lack of effective warm-up and cool-down strategies. This goes hand-in-hand with lack of a training plan above. DOMS, or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, is a significant contributor to people actively deciding to not pursue their fitness program. When joint mobility as a warm-up, and yoga postures, as a cool-down, are effectively combined with the exercise selection needed to be successful, they tend to reduce or eliminate DOMS. 4. Nutrition that does not support the exercise program. While the diet OR exercise approach has some merrits, it's simply not enough. Get your eating in line wi
