The fear was based on the presumption that if independent human reason could judge what is right and wrong, it could rule on what God could rightly prescribe for humans. However, it was admitted that although revealed law can be known through reason and aid human beings in cultivating the moral life, human intelligence was not capable of discovering the reasons for a particular law, let alone demonstrating the truth of a particular assertion of the divine commandment.
