Topic: Impeccability


  
  Impeccability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some theologians have asserted this special grace extended to impeccability[understood in this context as the inability to sin]; others argue this could not be so, as a person she would have had free will, and therefore the ability to sin, but through her cooperation avoided it.
Impeccability is sometimes confused with infallibility, especially in discussions of papal infallibility.
Impeccability is an attribute not claimed by the pope, and few would deny that there have been "bad" popes - Saint Peter himself denied Jesus three times after being essentially appointed Pope.

 [No title]
But whilst the impeccability of the blessed appears to be unanimously held by theologians, there is a diversity of opinion as to its cause.
The ultimate cause of impeccability is the freedom from sin or the state of grace in which at his death man passes into the final state (status termini), i.e.
Impeccability, as explained by the representatives of this opinion, is not, properly speaking, extrinsic, as is often wrongly asserted; but it is rather intrinsic, because it is strictly due to the final state of blessedness and especially to the beatific vision.

 PlanetPapers - An examination of the question of the impeccability of Jesus Christ
The seventh argument in support of the impeccability is that Christ could not sin because he was doing the will of the Father, i.e., arguments from Jesus’ omnipotent desire [and] His submission to the divine will.
The eighth argument for the impeccability of Christ is presented by Sahl and is based solely on the Biblical statements of Christ and the fact that the Bible is inerrant, accurate and authoritative.
While the Bible passages which proclaim Jesus’ sinlessness and His impeccability are compelling, the ultimate arguments which convince me is the nature of Jesus, the God-man. For me, Jesus is clearly both God and man; fully the two natures and never separable.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Heaven
The blessed have no longer the power of choosing to do evil actions; they cannot but love God; they are merely free to show that love by one good action in preference to another.
The beatific vision itself may be called a remote cause of impeccability; for by granting so wondrous a token of His love, God may be said to undertake the obligation of guarding from all sin those whom He so highly favours, whether by refusing all co-operation to evil acts or in some other manner.
Besides, even if the clear vision of God, most worthy of their love, does not render the blessed physically unable, it certainly renders them less liable, to sin.

 Omnipotence - Divine Freedom and Impeccability   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The concept of impeccability is such that an impeccable being is unable to act in a morally objectionable manner.
For Pike then God is contigently impeccable (as opposed to the traditionally Anselmian essential impeccability argument), that is there are possible worlds where we can imagine God performing evil acts, however (for the theist) this is not one.
It seems then that impeccability, certainly within the Anselmian tradition is inconsistent with the general idea of omnipotence if omnipotence is to be explained by Geach’s D2.

 Maximal Power
For instance, it seems reasonable to think that any omnipotent being must have the power, whether or not it is in fact exercised, to perform actions which constitute the breaking of his previously made promises.
The term 'omnipotent', on the other hand, is used by Geach to express what we might call a properly secular concept, i.e., one whose explication is subject only to those nontheological constraints which emerge from a careful consideration of the ordinary notion of power and of the relation of power to other properties.
Of course, this demonstration of the compatibility of omnipotence and impeccability lends little assistance to the traditional theist who professes belief in a God who, in addition to possessing both of these attributes, is omniscient as well.

He shows how such modern concerns have arisen against the background of theologians such as Suarez, who limits freedom in the face of heavenly impeccability, and asks whether a high value placed on freedom can be successfully combined with heavenly impeccability.
He then goes on to investigate the theories of Duns Scotus and William of Ockham, two theologians who hold a high view of freedom in general as well as heavenly impeccability, but they are found wanting.
He concludes that the most pleasing theory combines freedom for excellence and an intrinsic theory of impeccability develops this suggestion by drawing on and developing some ideas found in Thomas Aquinas.
