I was an atheist but now I’m finding classical theism to be convincing. However, I have a doubt about Catholicism that I’m hoping can be cleared up since I hope Catholicism is true.
Catholicism teaches that in order for the law to be perfectly fulfilled God the Son took on a human nature in the incarnation. However, human nature is intrinsically imperfect due to being actualised potential, even if Jesus lacked Original Sin. It can’t simply be that the Son’s divine nature pulled the human nature around to finish the actions of the human nature, as the law has to be obeyed by a human. So how could the law be perfectly fulfilled?
Help?
