Saint Augustine maintained that human beings were given free will by God and thus are responsible for their sins. At the same time, he said that God, being all-knowing, must see in advance everything people are going to do. How did he reconcile these two apparently opposing ideas? Do you think he succeeded?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Saint Augustine tried to reconcile these two ideas by stating that there are conditions for the two states. He said that necessity requires God's foreknowledge while freedom required man's will power. These are two independent sources that do not affect the other.  

2. I do not think that he succeeded.

Explanation:

There was a basic understanding from Saint Evodius which Saint Augustine denied. It was that; since God had foreknowledge that man would sin, he would necessarily or inevitably sin. Thus if a man should necessarily sin, then his sin was not voluntary. Saint Augustine's explanation for this was that the two personalities involved, that is God and man had different conditions to display their strengths. While inevitability required God's ability to know the future, man's freedom comes from his own power to choose.

Saint Augustine's reasoning sounds vague to me. I would rather opine that even though God has the power to know the future, he does not necessarily always exercise that ability. Just as a boxer would not go about exercising his strength on everyone he sees, so God not does use his foreknowledge at all times. This allows man the ability to exercise his freedom and free will. Moreover, it is inevitable that man would sin due to his imperfect nature, but the presence of the conscience makes him chose whether to or not to sin

stacked three high. They had no showers, no lounges,

Edward Corsi, who later became United States

SOS!!!! WHAT IMPACT DID THE DOLLAR DIPLOMACY HAVE ON THE US/WORLD

Answers

Answer:

La diplomacia del dólar es un modelo de política exterior de los Estados Unidos —particularmente manifestada durante la presidencia de William Taft— en la cual se buscaba el dominio estadounidense sobre varios países estratégicos para esta nación (principalmente aquellos localizados en América Latina y Asia Central) a través del uso de su poder económico superior como garantía de concesión y mantenimiento a largo plazo de créditos e inversiones en dichos países. Hay historiadores, entre los que destaca Thomas Andrew Bailey, quienes argumentan que la diplomacia del dólar no es algo nuevo en las relaciones internacionales de los Estados Unidos, porque esta fue usada desde los primeros años de la República norteamericana como una manera de asegurar la realización de sus intereses políticos y comerciales en el exterior.

Sin embargo, de manera formal, dicho término fue acuñado por el presidente Theodore Roosevelt tras la resolución, usando esta metodología, del bloqueo naval a Venezuela acontecido entre 1902 y 1903. Mediante esta acción, se mostró que una nueva era de diplomacia se acercaba al mundo, en la cual el dinero tendría más importancia en el comercio y política globalizados, que otras acciones de convencimiento forzado, como la tradicional política de cañonero. Esto se volvería evidente a inicios de la década de 1910, con las continuas intervenciones monetarias norteamericanas en Libia, América Latina y China, bajo la forma disfrazada de fideicomisos para la industrialización e inversiones diversas.

Una acepción al uso de este término se da en varios círculos de intelectuales latinoamericanos —como el de los historiadores mexicanos Francisco Ignacio Taibo y Francisco Martín Moreno—, para los cuales la diplomacia del dólar es un concepto despectivo con el que se critican las formas usadas por corporaciones y el gobierno estadounidense, cuyo objetivo es la realización de los intereses político-comerciales de ambos gigantes americanos, teniendo como mediador de las mismas su poder económico que les permite la compra de gobiernos, milicias, y, a posteriori, la apertura en desigualdad de nuevos mercados.

Why did the coahuiltecan live in leantus

Answers

Answer: The Coahuiltecan were various small, autonomous bands of Native Americans who inhabited the Rio Grande valley in what is now southern Texas and northeastern Mexico. The various Coahuiltecan groups were hunter-gatherers. First encountered by Europeans in the sixteenth century, their population declined due to imported European diseases, slavery, and numerous small-scale wars fought against the Spanish, criollo, Apache, and other Coahuiltecan groups. The survivors were absorbed into the Hispanic and mestizo population of southern Texas or northern Mexico.

In 1886, ethnologist Albert Gatschet found the last known survivors of Coahuiltecan bands: 25 Comecrudo, 1 Cotoname, and 2 Pakawa. They were living near Reynosa, Mexico.[1]
