I'm going to have to brush up on them. Aquinas can be a good read!
Quote:It is not a lying to prevent persons know the things they don't have the right to know, right?
Surely you're preventing them from knowing *by* lying? How else would you describe your action?
Quote:Further, do we want to excuse lying with murder? I think that is not only a not very good excuse, but a very evil excuse.
Excuse lying with murder? What do you mean?
Quote:By the use of reason, many gods is false, for God, Whom is Pure Act, must be One.
This would be supporting Deism and not theism if the Bible happens to include a pantheon of gods. Just a friendly FYI.
Quote:Further, the quoted passages doesn't prove multiple gods. Can you give more passage that Elyon is God?
Well, Elyon isn't a person is he? I think the context of the passage is enough to know Elyon is divine, since in its place they put the "Most High". If Elyon was never divine, then the correction wouldn't make sense, since not only you're changing the identity but now also the fact that whoever this new person (Most High) is must also be divine, and not just a person.
