Cap. V Obj. 6 Sol: Major's consequence wobbles — elect in Christ as members to be united

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Sol. The Major's consequence wobbles. The election decree does tend on a dead man lying in the mass of perdition — yet so that it decrees him life only as considered a member, by God's good pleasure, to be united to Christ and made alive through Christ. In that sense they are elected in Christ who are not yet considered grafted into Christ by faith.

Latin

Sol. Vacillat Majoris consequentia. Nam quamvis decretum electionis tendat in hominem mortuum ac in massa perditionis jacentem, ita tamen tendit, ut vitam ei non decernat nisi quatenus consideratur ut membrum, juxta Divinae voluntatis beneplacitum, Christo uniendum, et per Christum vivificandum. Atque hoc sensu, in Christo eliguntur qui nondum per fidem in Christum insiti considerantur.
