Sunny Days in Heaven
Spiritual/Political/Philosophical Blog on the Nature of Truth and Falsehood and Heaven


Thursday, April 04, 2002  

Louder Fenn (link to the right in column) is feeling a bit triumphant. He has concluded about faith in Jesus that, "the farther one gets from the Church (RCC, he means), the more one must depend on the exceptional and extraordinary graces of God."

Hmm, what if exceptional and extraordinary graces have led one into the RCC and then led one to realize it's just another church after all with its own slant on things?

The problem with extraordinary Truth claims is that they demand extraordinary proofs. The RCC can never prove itself extraordinary any more than the Quakers or Methodists can. God seems to not play favorites and parcels out miracles and justification for faith like a drunken billionaire who has just fallen in love with poverty.

I intend to focus on this notion in a long essay I am currently working on. Stay tuned.
