Prompt#3
In the Middle Ages chapter, St. Augustine definitely kept God in his mind as the creator of the world out
of nothing. He believed that no man had the right to criticize
the Lord. He also thought that everyone was at his mercy when it came to
God. St. Augustine thought that God has two groups, one with saved
people and one with the damned. He had
to wait for history to occur to see any change. Since Augustine has come up
with this information Plato is not in
much of the Godly information shared by Augustine. Aquinas had Christianized Aristotle just like
St. Augustine had Christianized Plato. They all had to stop thinking that they would
never be considered as a threat to the Christian principles. With
Aquinas’ thoughts, he tried to compare
Aristotle’s philosophy with Christianity. He had
came up with the combination between knowledge
and faith. He believed that people could easily live with
the thoughts of Philosophy and the truths of the bible for Christianity without
any problems or confusion. He thought
that you could easily live with many different theological truths ; he had a
belief that you could get to heaven by two ways, faith and believing in Christ
or having common sense and reasoning. Aristotle never really knew about the
Christian Revelation so he never became familiar with the bible or even believe
in it. These philosophers became more
reasonable when they put their thoughts
together about simple reasoning and Christianity. They gave everyone and anyone who wanted to
learn about philosophy a chance to separate
religious views from a different thought process. They
never really say that Christianity was the cause of one thing and then they
made a reason of why Christianity was the cause. Instead they separate the two different subjects so there is no way to get either one
of these mixed up into one subject. There is proof that there have been times
where God has shown himself through the many different ways of reasoning
and through Christianity and the bible.
