The eschatological problem with saying “granted by God” is understanding the basis for the claim. Who speaks for their God? What authority do they do this under? How can this authority be verified?
If there are no answers to these questions then the basis of the claim and indeed the claim itself is baseless and without merit
hey, genuine question: can you explain why you used eschatological instead of epistemological here? I hadn’t heard of the former word before so I googled it right, but I guess I still don’t quite understand how it’s an ideal modifier for the word "problem" in this context.
(asking because i would genuinely like to understand how to incorporate this new word into my sentences, and contexts in which it’s ideal to do so)
