Aspartame (aspergtame@clubcyberia.co)'s status on Saturday, 24-Feb-2024 11:02:55 JST Aspartame @givenup @BowsacNoodle @King_Noticer @hazlin There is nothing that takes place outside of providence. Likewise, there are many things that happen coincidentally, as secondary causes. That perspective, while not exclusive, is a legitimate one to take. -

A Thomist would say yes, a Molinist would say no, and I'm sure there are other views besides those two with their respective nuances. -

Aspartame (aspergtame@clubcyberia.co)'s status on Saturday, 24-Feb-2024 05:19:01 JST Aspartame @d0c40r0 I've always thought the opposite. the Old will be like "Men of Benjamin raped some whore, and her man chopped her body into 12 pieces as a declaration of Total Benjamite Death. and then the tribes slaughtered the entire population, but left just enough so that they could intermarry and rebuild" and have no moral commentary whatsoever. -

Aspartame (aspergtame@clubcyberia.co)'s status on Saturday, 24-Feb-2024 05:18:59 JST Aspartame @d0c40r0 I think it depends which part of either you're reading. The Old Testament psalter and prophecies are very much like that, but the histories are mostly a dry recounting of events.
Likewise in the New Testament, the eschatological parts are by no means pro-Roman, but there is also the teaching to submit and bide your time while Satan, the Prince of the Earth, weaves his own noose. The lived example of this can be seen in the lives of the Saints. For example, Maximus the Confessor suffered and was martyred by the Byzantine Empire for opposing the monothelite heretics, but it didn't last. After his death, God quickly won out. The problem was squashed and banished to tiny schismatic groups on the outer edges of the world. -

Aspartame (aspergtame@clubcyberia.co)'s status on Saturday, 24-Feb-2024 05:18:58 JST Aspartame @d0c40r0 Yes, and that's true. No nation can exist without being appointed by God and our subjection to them is not arbitrary, it's a part of the natural law. -

The problem with being apart from Rome is that she holds the faith, she has that promise, and those who depart from her do so either explicitly to teach heresy, or because they want to be illicitly in charge of their own jurisdiction. -

It's in the councils and the writings of Pope St. Leo I.
Arguably even earlier, as the Pope had seen fit to excommunicate the entire East over the Easter controversy, which while not canonically impossible, would not have been something that any other See would have seen fit to do.
Better schizo poasting than the other two, though. -

There are weird choices he made, like postponing has baptism until his deathbed, that wouldn't make sense if he didn't believe it, because it was a popular belief at the time that you couldn't be forgiven for post-baptismal sins. He wouldn't have cared if it was fake.
Heretics just like to cope and seethe over SAINT CONSTANTINE because alternative church histories fall apart if you can't write the Byzantine Empire off altogether. -

It wasn't exactly Constantine's accomplishment, he just added structure that allowed for more expansive synods than had happened before. -

It is a useful book for that type of analysis. -

Generally speaking, it's Premill in the earliest Fathers, then Amill post-Nicaea.
Bellarmine's interpretation is probably wrong, but it's not out of line with history. -
