“”That he is wrong, very very wrong.””

Can you explain why you think this ,Dear Brother?

It seems to me that God has the power to do what Aquinas is saying here

“Can you explain why you think this ,Dear Brother?”

What he has theorized is diametrically opposed to the consensus patrum. Aquinas wrote well, but his writings are so suffused with pagan philosophy that sometimes it is hard to credit that he was truly a Christian theologian. It helps to remember that he was arguing with Mohammedan disputants who were steeped in Aristotelian philosophy. There is very little in the writings of Aquinas which an Orthodox Christian will recognize and embrace.
