12. Lemma body

    1. The author, in this note, maintains that the territory of the Uncreated, that is, whatever refers to the Triadic God, cannot be grasped and interpreted through the human intellectual abilities, which are limited and rooted in the sensible reality. The territory of the Uncreated is inaccessible to human reason. The Christian God does not require our understanding, but our faith and our willingness to apply to the divine word in our lives. Our logic, our agency and our freedom are valuable gifts given by God and their handling should be directed to deification, to the achievement of divine similarity, by divine grace. Logic is not opposite to faith. A fallacy in the use of logic occurs only when it is itself deified and swerves away from the functions in human existence that are assigned to it in the plan of God.
