"Can the Holy Ghost be asserted not to have intended teaching us something that does
concern our salvation?" (Lines 371 - 373)
Galileo argues that God should
teach
es(?)
His people how to get to heaven in order
to save our salvation.
So what? What do you see as the significance of this claim
especially in the context of Galileo’s argument for the appropriate relationship between
science and religion
God’s teachings, according to Galileo, “...did not intend to teach us
whether heaven moves or stands still, whether its shape is spherical or like a discus…
nor whether the earth is located at its center or off to one side” (359 - 362). The goal of
the Holy Ghost is to demonstrate how individuals can acquire his or her
their
salvation
and enter into heaven; "...the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to
heaven.
Comma(?)
not how heaven goes" (375- 376).
Interpretation? Especially the “not”
clause
The significance of this agreement
What agreement? Your agreement with
Galileo?
is that God shows His people the way to get into heaven by acquiring our
salvation through our actions. Galileo states that, “...if the Holy Spirit has purposely
neglected to teach us propositions of this sort
What sort is he talking about?
as
irrelevant to the highest goal (that is, to our salvation)...” (366 - 368), then how can
individuals reassure
ww
that the belief is the truth or falsified?
Sense? (Only scientific
propositions can be falsified can’t they, not beliefs?)
It
pr ref
all comes down to belief and
faith in God and how He sees fit for us to enter into heaven. I agree with this statement
because God’s work remains forever, even though man does not know of what God
endured from the beginning of time until His death.
Does God die?
Regardless of
whether man knows what God endured or not, the faith in God should be a factor in his
or her belief in entering heaven.
So what? How is this claim connected to Galileo’s
argument for the relation between science and religion
Matthew 7:21 and 26 in the Bible
says
agr
that, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven
Sense? Are you
quoting accurately? Or your leaving words out makes the meaning incomplete
… And
everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish
man who built his house on the sand.” This scriptural text states that those who believe
in God and do His will will enter into heaven, and for those who do not follow God’s
orders
ss
will be a foolish being and not be allowed to enter into the kingdom.
So what is
your point?
Following in the Holy Spirit’s word and do
verb form
His will enables those
who believe and have faith in God to enter into heaven and live an everlasting life.
So
what? Relation to Galileo ?
