Theological Theses · §1039

Fallen man wholly infected outside grace

Outside grace man is wholly sin-infected, averted from God, faculties prone to evil.

Original stain darkens mind, warps will, disorders affections—Rom 8:8: the fleshly cannot please God.

Latin

V. Quippe homo sibi relictus, & extra Dei gratiam, totus peccato infectus est, & a Deo aversus: facultates ejus omnes in malum pronae, & imago illa Dei primitus homini impressa, originali labe, quam a primo nostro parente contraximus, miseran-dum in modum foedata & dissipata est. Nam inde caligo summa mentem hominis occupavit, & voluntatem perversitas, & in affectibus maxima perturbatio coorta est, adeo ut homo carnalis, & nondum per gratiam a servitute peccati redemptus, Dei sit inimicus, nec se divinae legi subjiciat; imo nequidem id facere possit, ut docet Apostolus Rom. 8. vers. 8.
