God is our highest good [a syllogism]

[JM]

From Richard Muller’s Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics page 246. [Polanus (1561-1610)]

1. That which is our salvation, glory, strength, shield, and, indeed, all things whatsoever are necessary to our blessedness, that is our highest good.
2. God alone is our salvation, glory, strength, shield and all things whatsoever are necessary to our blessedness:
3. Therefore God alone is our highest good.

It's unfortunate that atheists, and many Arminian apologists who trail right behind them, require libertarian freedom of the creature among the highest goods.
