Question
Why does revelation matter if human beings can think?
A question about the relationship between human reason and divine guidance.
Human beings can think, reason, compare, analyse and learn from experience. So why does revelation matter?
If the mind can discover many truths about the world, morality and society, what does revelation provide that reason alone cannot provide?
Is revelation mainly information, correction, orientation, command, mercy, warning or a way of placing the human being under the right authority?
I want to understand how reason and revelation work together without reducing revelation to human opinion or reducing reason to something meaningless.
