O diabo, a serpente e a queda - II





Por que razão a queda, tendo sido originada pelo diabo, não põe em causa a liberdade humana

- We are free participants in the divine plan, (but) our freedom does not determine us all at once. It sets us down a particular path.
- Our freedom is real; we must decide to move our feet in one direction or the other. But that freedom is reactive or responsive, not executive or commanding.
- This is why human freedom never provides a sufficient explanation for the march toward sin - or the countermarch toward righteousness.
- We can follow much further than we can lead.

R.R. Reno, Genesis, 2010, 83
