Document Summary
Acquines if you seriously examine the bible, it makes sense altogether but not in sections, acquines believes in the power of human logic and not just religion. How should we think about obedience and disobedience. The question of whether the human law is binding in the court of conscience is one of the most important questions for aquines philosophy of morality. When acquines talks about human living he tries to stay away from the bible as morality and justice apply to everyone and not just those with access to christian thought. When things are going well, governments focus on justice. The common good, create space for community. Powers that be (cid:553)appointed by od(cid:554) good for us to be governed so we may have laws and living for common good. Most laws follow the divine law, but an example of when it doesn"t worship caesar and roman gods would be against the divine law of christianity.
