Supernatural Faith and First Truth looks at the many ways in which we encounter supernatural faith in our spiritual journey. Among the many topics covered are questions and answers regarding first truth, the relationship between God and his creatures, St. Augustine on Faith, the work of God in our life, freedom and grace, and many others.
God & Creatures
The concern here is distinguishing between the creature as seen thru faith and the creature itself. Secondly, Aquinas distinguishes understanding natural things thru reason and thru supernatural faith. The Vatican Council taught that many can find God's traces in creation thru unaided reason. For example, the scriptures say "the invisible things of God are clearly seen thru the things he has made." This argument represents the rational argument for the existence of God in nature. For example, his being, unity, and other attributes. However, St. Thomas refers to the Creed, which contains the articles of faith and those specific truths all Catholics are to believe as divinely revealed. When referring to the Creed we are speaking about divinely revealed truths. These truths, explicated in the articles of the Creed are grounded in the Divine revelation of God. St. Peter says of Divine Revelation:
"Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God" (2 Pet. 1:20-21)
