Youask:"Isthereany reasonableexplanationfor God'screatingahuman beingwhomHeknowsbeforehandwillusehisfree willtocondemnhimself?"

Youaddtheremark:"It doesnotseemconsistent withthenatureofGodthat onesoulshouldbecreated intheknowledgeofits eternaldamnationand anotheritseternalsalvation."

Thisistheage-oldproblemthathastorturedthe mindofeverythinkingman whohasbeenfacedwithit, theproblemofevil.

Yourealisethatitisno solutiontoputGodonapar withusandsaythatHe doesnotknowthefuture.

ThatwouldmeanthatGod's knowledgeisimperfect; thatHedoesnotexercise providenceoverHiscreaturesandthatHeisdependentoncreatedthingsfor someofHisperfections;in aword,thatGodisnotGod atall.

MenHaveNotEqualRights,Duties; SomeInequalitiesSeemtobeInnate

DoesyourChurchteach thatallmenareequal?

A.Theshortestpossible answertoyourquestionis thatinsomerespectsall menareequalandinothers theyarenotatallequal.

Tobeginwith,allmen areequallyhumanbeings, equallycreaturesofGod. TheyareallequallyintendedbyGodtosavetheir soulsandattaineternal happiness.Inviewoftheir equalityashumanbeings, theyhavecertainrightsto thosethingswhicharenecessaryforthemiftheyare toattainthedestiny-for
