I first learned of Scott Hahn in the late 90’s. I purchased many of his Bible studies on cassette and listened to them until they were worn out. And I could still listen to him talk all day. Praised be Jesus and Mary!
My confirmation saint and a member of the Order I am discerning! I must confess though that despite all of that I still haven’t read much of anything from him, but I want to change that soon!
Looking forward to learning more! I was baptized and my father married my adoptive mother at St Albert the Great church, in suburban Chicago, buy I know little about him!
@@GuadalupePicasso St. Albert takes it for granted that it is a faculty of being man, "For a man is precisely understanding and will." St. Thomas defends the idea. But I am not comvinced his reasoning answers the question. But now I see why St. Thomas seems to argue it exists almost as a presupposition. He learned it from hos teacher. I dont know if free will is a intimsic faculty of humanity. I think of it exists, oy could only exist as a result of God's grace as He somehow changes the the closed-system of our own universe by being an outside observer. ...or something like that. I mean to say that I believe in God regardless if free will exists or not, but I don't think free will could exist apart from God.
@vegadog3053 I wish I could quote someone, but I can only share what I was told and rings true, in my opinion. Our free will is part of our likeness to God, except for the fact that it doesn't last forever. Like angels had a time to decide whether to serve or reject God, and their decision was fixed for eternity after that because of the quality of their intellect, we have a lifetime on earth to accept or not His Love. Without free will in any capacity, going to hell would become God's fault and not an act of God's justice. The existence of hell is the main argument to support ultimate free will
@@sayaka19fan I agree that man was created with free will in His likeness. Even St. Albert said something like it. They(Adam and Eve) were created without sin too. Yet, as a fallen race, we are born under the bondage of sin. I think that as we come closer to God our free will becomes more extant, but it no longer belongs to us inherently. It is given as a grace. We all do the best we can and God will judge us according to His justice. We can't be the ones to determine such and such an act is always a mortal sin. Even the CCC states a lot depends on the mental and emotional state of the person. I don't think we need to vindicate God by our theology and justify a so called "hell" according to our understanding. God vindicated Himself through Jesus's passion, death, and resurrection.
@vegadog3053 Okay. First of all, I don't justify "hell" based on theology. Scriptures are quite blatant about it: one for all Matthew 25, 31-46. If you have a problem with the concept of hell, I would set aside the matter of free will for the time being and dive into this other topic first. I can see where your struggle is coming from. Human will, after the original sin, was weakened. We call this weakness "concupiscence." Grace is needed to balance its influence. Those who believe in free will think that God's grace would only "restore" the inherent nature of the origin without determining the outcome. After all, God said that the original state was "very good." Why would He correct that plan erasing free will?

Is St. Albert one of the few Saints who was "declared" a saint after, or at the same time as he was declared a Church Doctor?
Ok fine, I will go research Albert the Great. I am not convinced of St. Thomas's Free Will arguments yet
You don’t believe in free will?

That’s “underappreciated”
