Free will only permitted when full knowledge available!

[John121]

The baby in a mud pit is a metaphor for God putting us in this world of sin and expecting us to be sinless !

• Only free acts are moral acts.
• All moral acts are free acts.
• All sinful acts are evil acts.
• Not all evil acts are sinful acts.
• Invincible ignorance mitigates the sin of the actor but not the evil in the act.
  * Invincible ignorance: lack of knowledge that a person has no way to obtain.
• Vincible ignorance does not mitigate the sin of the actor.
  * Vincible ignorance: lack of knowledge that a rational person is capable of acquiring by making an effort.

 

[John121]

In my case and a lot of the saints of old it was not ignorance when one has been searching for the truth and was yet to find it for example if you go to a library and like me hell bent on finding out the truth you start with what you know to be true which is what we are told truth is today science so you have to go through a lot of books that takes years to realize that science really is limited and that there must be a answer somewhere only to be led to metaphysical meaning more then knowledge which leads you to religion but one would have to go through this process of elimination of all these books to gain a accurate reflection of what is true one of the hardest things to do is have correct order in study and when studying science I found this very difficult because the subjects change a lot.

The other problem with order is that because faith as told to me by a priest don’t know if this is accurate is a gift from God reason alone is extremely hard to find the true God only after years of reading hours a day can you come to the conclusion for example 31 % of the world population is Christian surveys done in 2010 suggest this of that 31% I would say a very small number are going to Mass and committed to God in Ireland alone I see 95 % elderly people at mass in a church of 100 people lucky to see 1 or 2 people in twenties.

I would say that ignorance over 50% of the world is being thought truths that are not true yet are they in ignorance when we have to rely on someone for the truth which is modeled by reality the reality is a bad one that the true God remains hidden like hidding go seek but you don’t know you have to look for the person hidding and the repercussions is you will suffer tremendously in purgatory or hell for lack of truth ie knowledge could you blame a average human who has been told lies there whole life to somehow figure out that the true God has a book on how to act and that you are being watched and scrutinized for not knowing this when in fact you were being told differently your whole life ?

I find this topic very interesting because yes it is possible to acquire knowledge of all kinds but all this are possible in the world yes to a certain degree but not all ways are possible.

So for example in menos paradox it’s stated that if you know what your looking for inquiry is unnecessary if you do not know what you are looking for enquiry is impossible

For me then it was impossible until I read for years many many books and Wikipedia’s because I did not know what I was looking for.

In short I was looking to help people the most I could but was only shown that becoming rich is the only way !

Sin is always in the will, not the intellect alone.

If one wills the good of the other then one knows the Spirit is in him, for the Spirit is the source of all goodness.

… but was only shown that becoming rich is the only way !

Jesus taught the opposite.
