The Triple A Effect on Divine Justice

Unknown

Hi,

Concerning the Triple A: Augustine, Anslem and Aquinas.. apparently, they all have had this effect on the Divine Justice.

Are their views distorted?
What's the difference between their views on ours??
Do we share ANYTHING at ALL in common with these people's teachings??

I read in suscopts website an article on the "origin of sin and atonement" -and, it seemed kinda "tit for tat". You sinned, therefore someone has to pay... U sinned against God, so therefore payment is endless,.... etc. etc and u all know the rest i'm sure!

Is this true??

What exactly IS the Coptic view on Divine Justice?? Really!?

Moreover, I have seen Fr Tadros using the word "deification" more than once in works like "divine grace" and "the redemption of man". It's also well explained on the site of suscopts under the following link:

I suggest we all read, and form our opinion based on primairy sources!!!

Hang on, if father Malaty is using "Divine Grace" and "Deification" then its still Coptic Orthodox as far as I am concerned.

Anyway,

I need some help here (orthodox11 et al).

Anslem's theory is that the sin is proportional to the stature/status of the person being sinned against? Correct me if I'm wrong? Does the Coptic Church reject this??

THanks, please excuse my ignorance. I'm learning as much as I can.

Thanks again,

I'm just curious, but why is it this topic only received 165 views, and yet a trivial topic on belly buttons gets more than 700???

If this topic had been answered ages ago, it would have saved me a lot of problems.
