| 800 Year Old Answers To Therationa's Questions. by Nobody: 8:24pm On Feb 14, 2008 |
therationa has asked many questions on this forum and has posted some really amazing conclusions and opinions. My take on this is that his 'research' is rather shallow and skewed to conform to his prejudices. The great theologian Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274) answered most of his questions over 800 years ago. So, by asking these questions, therationa is revealing to us how backward and behind-the-times his research work is. Aquinas' 'Summa Theologica' (http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/aquinas/summa/index.htm) contains the answers to all his questions. I have pasted a few of the questions answered by Aquinas below. Therationa should deepen and refine his 'research' and learn how to ask the right questions. ------ Table of Contents Question. 1 - The Nature and Extent of Sacred Doctrine (Ten Articles) Article. 1 - Whether, besides philosophy, any further doctrine is required?

Imagine if you lived 1200 years ago and had asked the questions I have been asking. Were would you have gone for the answers. Would you have had to wait 400 years for the arrival of Aquinas on the scene?  |

@therationa You have done very badly in your literature review. You should learn to stand on the shoulders of giants. Please do some more groundwork before asking questions that have been answered hundreds of years ago. |

Imhotep, Sorry, I did not mean to give the impression that I was not going to read the document from Aquinas. I have had a cursory look and guess what? This is a massive document. Have you ever read it? If I had the rest of the year I don't think I could complete reading this document even if that was the only thing I did. If you have read it, can you summarise the salient points please. |

therationa:@therationa You are a scholar. Scholars are not lazy people. TAKE TIME AND READ. Get your facts straight before generating questions that you should never had asked. |
| Re: 800 Year Old Answers To Therationa's Questions. by therationa(m): 8:41pm On Feb 14, 2008 |
Fair enough. To what extend are the pre-Aquinas responses similar/different from the post-Aquinas answers? |
| Re: 800 Year Old Answers To Therationa's Questions. by Nobody: 8:42pm On Feb 14, 2008 |
therationa: Good question. That is what you should read and discover for yourself. I cannot read/study on your behalf. |
| Re: 800 Year Old Answers To Therationa's Questions. by Nobody: 10:17am On Feb 15, 2008 |
@therationa Have you learnt how to carry out literature review now  ? The shallowness of your questions/research work is rather disappointing. |
| Re: 800 Year Old Answers To Therationa's Questions. by Nobody: 11:54am On Feb 15, 2008 |
therationa has asked many questions on this forum and has posted some really amazing conclusions and opinions. My take on this is that his 'research' is rather shallow and skewed to conform to his prejudices. Nice one , I can only hope we Christians would see Atheists and Evolutionist for who they are, Pitiful Men, who desperately need the touch of God in their lives since , it seems the more they think they know the less they seem to understand, They ask questions and repeat the same questions that have either been answered now or before, and then pose those questions as reasons for their "Faith" |
| Re: 800 Year Old Answers To Therationa's Questions. by dafidixone(m): 1:41pm On Feb 15, 2008 |
@Imhotep, Thanks for this good job of research. I hope this will silence those people who post, and argues blindly on this forum. They claim they have read vast on a particular subject but only to defend their assumptions with what they do not know. Many of them will say the bible is too voluminous for them to read yet they claim it is incomplete. Imhotep, that is a brilliant one  .You are a prof. on this forum.  @ therationa try to be rational this time around. Always find time to read. "He who do not read is not different from those who cannot read" DO not waste your education learn more in order for you to have intellectual development. Shallom! |

therationa: I haven't read all of Aquinas, but he covers a lot topics and it's hard to summarise his work. The part I find interesting though - and I only know of this from secondary sources, not Aquinas himself - is his attempt to, IIRC, grapple with the idea of soul, being and the body. I hope I'm not mixing up my Christian philosophers. If you're going to read Aquinas, anyway, I'd suggest getting a quick overview of Platonism, Aristotelean philosophy and Augustine's writings. Just a general framework should help. |
| Re: 800 Year Old Answers To Therationa's Questions. by Nobody: 3:33pm On Feb 15, 2008 |
KAG: Beautiful. I hope therationa can see the grounds he is yet to cover. |

Shallow mindedness begets bigotry and ignorance. Imhotep, you are great! |

@KAG, KAG: How apt! I'd thought that such a notion was perculiar to me!- - - Now wey bawomolo?!? I know, I know. . . "philosophy is an oxymoron" - but for all that, it is still philosophy! Get to work ma guy! |
| Re: 800 Year Old Answers To Therationa's Questions. by Nobody: 10:31am On Feb 18, 2008 |
stimulus: Definition -> "An oxymoron (plural oxymorons or, more rarely, oxymora) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. Oxymoron is a loanword from Greek oxy ("sharp" and moros ("dull". Thus the word oxymoron is itself an oxymoron."Now, can bawomol(o) prove to us, beyond reasonable doubt, HOW philosophy is an oxymoron We are waiting.There is more to knowledge than name-dropping. |
