ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 15 v38

GOD TRANSCENDS THE STANDARDS OF NATURE. GREGORY OF NYSSA: It seems to me that here Paul is refuting those who ignore the particular standards of nature and assess the divine power in the light of their own strength. They think that God can do only as much as man can comprehend. They think that what is beyond us also exceeds the power of God. ON THE SOUL AND THE RESURRECTION.

GOD GIVES AS HE HAS CHOSEN. AUGUSTINE: He did not say God “gave” or “ordered” but God “gives,” that you may know how the Creator applies the effective power of his wisdom to the creation of things which come into existence daily at their appointed times. LETTER 205.
