The Importance of Rationality in the Church

There are cultural moments when this revelation seems less tolerable to certain thinkers, whether Christian or otherwise. So we're free, the Lord has placed our life in our hands, God desires that all be saved and comes to the knowledge of the truth. We read in 1 Timothy 2, 4, but the possibility of failure of defection remains because we can choose. And I think just as an initial point we're agnostic about the particular fate of individuals like we don't assign people to hell with certainty unless you're Dante so even then we hope for the salvation of those who have gone before us in death.
