"He cause[s] that man should freel[y] will the change which he
experiences" is a self-refuting statement. Aquinas is trying to have
his cake and eat, it too.

Notice that Aquinus removed the word "freely" here. Had he omitted it
in the prior statement he wouldn't have landed in logical hot water.

Do you have some point? Rather than answer the question
of how you justify your inconsistancy, you try to derail
the thread (again) to an irrelevant tangent. Not that I'm
surprised. You have yet to give a plain answer to any
challenge.

For a piece of art I need to be able to: 1. know the number of words
in the bible and 2. to be able to define every word by its number.
Could anybody help me with these questions then I will gladly give
further details.
Kind regards Hammer.

Matthew,
It may be hard for you to comprehend this as you are frightfully myopic

sorry for you as you
