¿Es hora de que el papa anule el infierno?

Buenos Aires, 24 de diciembre de 1997

Juan Pablo II

Ciudad del Vaticano

De nuestra consideración:

Se acerca el fin del milenio. Se acerca, posiblemente, el Apocalipsis y el Juicio Final. Si es cierto que son pocos los que se salvan, como advierte el Evangelio, se acerca para la mayor parte de la humanidad el comienzo de un infierno inacabable. Para evitarlo basta volver a la justicia que Dios Padre dictó en el Génesis. Si Él castigó la desobediencia de Eva suprimiendo nuestra inmortalidad, no es justo que el Hijo nos la haya restituido, tantos siglos después, prolongando padecimientos. Si una parte de la Trinidad dicta una sentencia cuya pena termina y se completa con la muerte, no puede otra parte abrir cada causa, agregar otra sentencia, resucitar el cadáver y aplicar un castigo adicional que repite infinitas veces el castigo ya cumplido por el pecador una vez muerto. La justicia del Hijo contradice y viola la del Padre. La existencia del Paraíso no justifica la del Infierno: la bondad de los pocos salvados no les permitirá ser felices sabiendo eternamente que novias o hermanas o madres o amigos y también desconocidos y enemigos (prójimo que Jesús nos ordena amar y perdonar) sufren en tierras de Satanás. Le solicitamos, entonces, volver al Pentateuco y tramitar la anulación del Juicio Final y de la inmortalidad.

Lo saludamos atentamente.

this is cute but also i like to think the pope has to preface every single statement with "this isn't dogma but" like he has to break character for a sec and clarify that he's not speaking ex cathedra

How Do We Know What We Know?

By Biblical Researcher Eli Kittim

A posteriori Vs A priori Knowledge

Epistemology is a philosophical branch that questions the conditions required for a belief to constitute knowledge. The possible sources of knowledge that could justify a belief are based on perception, memory, reason, and testimony.

Postmodern epistemology is generally skeptical of “a posteriori” knowledge, which is derived by reasoning from observed phenomena (i.e. empirical knowledge). Because this knowledge gradually changes and evolves over time, its so-called “facts” also change and are not therefore necessarily true. This would imply that scientific knowledge is not necessarily true and is therefore incapable of informing us about reality as it truly is!

The only necessary “truths” appear to be contained in what is known as “a priori” knowledge, which is derived by reasoning from self-evident propositions. Since the time of Immanuel Kant this knowledge has been understood as being acquired independently of any particular experiences. Thus, logical and mathematical propositions fall under this category.

If you think about it, science cannot prove the existence of the external world independently of our perceptions or faculties. Kant was one of the first thinkers to suggest the idea of the philosophical gaze turned inward upon the self rather than focused on the external world per se. Rather than concentrating on observed phenomena, he zoomed in on the observer himself. Since then we have sought to find out what constitutes “necessary truth,” as well as its justification. In short, we have become skeptical of reality and have seriously questioned whether our perceptions of it can be trusted or not.

The Phenomenological Perspective of Experience

Along comes Edmund Husserl (1859 – 1938), a German philosopher, who founded the school of Phenomenology, which studies the structures of experience and consciousness. Consciousness at the most fundamental level is simply the awareness of existence, both internal and external. In other words, phenomenology is primarily concerned with how consciousness perceives and relates to phenomena. A phenomenon is defined as an observable event. This is in contrast to a “noumenon,” which, according to Kant, cannot be directly observed. Thus, Husserl is interested in understanding not the external world as it really is but rather how an individual experiences or perceives it subjectively. Husserl influenced many notable 20th century thinkers, such as Gabriel Marcel, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, and many others!

What is more, Husserl acknowledged a type of gnosis that is far greater than any knowledge derived from the empirical world of the senses. He called it “authentic intuition,” denoting its capacity to grasp the essence of being (Manfred Frank. What is Neostructuralism? Trans. Sabine Wilke and Richard Gray. [Minneapolis: U of Minnesota P, 1989], pp. 411-412)! Since “testimony” is acceptable as a source of knowledge in epistemology, the multiple and independent attestations of the born-again experience can be employed as potential sources of knowledge for a justified true belief in the Platonic sense. Søren Kierkegaard, the father of existentialism, would acknowledge its validity, given that the born-again experience (Jn 3.3) cannot be proven empirically but experienced existentially! The great mystics Rumi, Kabir, and John of the Cross would certainly concur with that statement. This is analogous to what Karl Jaspers, the German-Swiss psychiatrist and philosopher, calls a leap of faith, which is a belief in something outside the confines of reason.

From an interdisciplinary perspective, psychological testing can further confirm the existence of radical changes in the personality as a result of such experiences, not unlike those depicted in the Bible. For example, a murderer named Saul was said to be changed into a lover named Paul. Such cases abound in the “conversion-experience” literature. It seems to be a case where a new identity has replaced an older one (cf. Eph. 4.22-24). In the language of psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, it is the difference between the False self (i.e. pseudo self) and the True self (i.e. authentic self)! Thus, there are many indicators which suggest that the born-again experience is ipso facto a possible source of knowledge (cf. Eph. 2.5).

Why Then Are There Differences Between Various Belief Systems?

The contradictory doctrinal statements of various religious traditions do not invalidate the authenticity of the existential experience precisely because they do not accurately represent the born-again experience itself, but rather the afterthoughts that follow it. Human reason tries to make sense of its experiences, thereby leading to theological diversity. However, at the point of the “mysterium tremendum” itself the experience is ubiquitous. In other words, whether one is reared in a Christian, Muslim, or Buddhist culture is irrelevant because the authentic mystical experience will be the same. The person will primarily experience a new birth, a profound sense of peace, as well as an all - encompassing love. The attempt to categorize it within a specific cultural and spiritual milieu is a secondary process. As Hegel once wrote:

“The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only

with the falling of the dusk.”

In other words, only after the experience is gone does philosophy arrive to try to understand it. In our case, theology arrives too late. It’s the same with the doctrinal variations of the different spiritual traditions!

The Absolute Being of philosophy (i.e. God) is often said to instill revelation upon humankind. There are various theological schools, such as pantheism, deism, theism, and the like, but most historians would agree that the various holy books are testaments of God’s alleged revelations (e.g. the Upanishads, Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, Torah, Quran, New Testament). However, the degree of revelation varies. It is important to note what Paul reveals in 1 Cor. 12.11:

“All these are the work of one and the same

Spirit, and he distributes them to each one,

just as he determines.”

In other words, not all get an equal share of the spiritual pie. Not all receive an equal portion of the truth. Each one gets a small amount of it. Some get more, others less. Thus, some know more, some less. This, then, explains the differences that exist between various belief systems without necessarily refuting their undergirding existential experiences per se! Put differently, they all believe in God, but which God is a question pertaining to different levels and degrees of revelation. So, given that belief systems are disseminated later, after the fact, doctrinal differences are irrelevant in refuting the initial born-again experience as a whole.

Conclusion

The epistemology of existentialism and phenomenology presents “experience” as a potential source of knowledge. Since testimony is considered to be a possible source of knowledge that could justify a belief, the multitudinous number of born-again testimonies down through the ages would present a case for the legitimacy of the existential experience! According to phenomenology, this knowledge may actually surpass that of science given its capacity to grasp the essence of being!

B. In other words, we are dealing with two modalities [vis.,

philosophy of experience, sense, subject (Sarte, Merleau-Ponty)

philosophy of knowledge, intuitionism, rationality, concept (Cavailles, Bachelard and Canguilhem)

] according to which phenomenology was taken up in France, when quite late - around 1930 - it finally began to be, if not known, at least recognized.

1. Contemporary philosophy in France began in those years.

a. The lectures on transcendental phenomenology delivered in 1929 by Husserl (translated

by Gabrielle Peiffer and Emmanuel Levinas as Meditations cartesiennes, Paris, Colin, 1931

and by Dorion Cairns as Cartesian Meditations, The Hague, Nijhoff, 1960

) marked the moment: phenomenology entered France through that text.

b. But it allowed of two readings:

i. one, in the direction of a philosophy of the subject - and this was Sartre's article on the "Transcendance de L'Ego" (1935)

ii. another, which went back to the founding principles of Husserl's thought:

– [on one hand, taking up]

those of formalism and intuitionism

those of the theory of science

– [on the other hand,] in 1938 Cavailles's two theses:

on the axiomatic method [and thus a logical pluralism]

the [historical] formation of [a mathematics:] set theory
