... With respect to us, however, it is Misery. For although GOD in our Election does not regard our merit, He does nevertheless behold our misery, by which His innermost parts are moved.
— Philip Hanneken., Theological Disputation concerning Predestination unto Salvation.

[Avgvstinvs @aegidus0]

Hanneken on the external impulsive causes of election:

"The external impulsive cause of Election can be considered in two ways: (1) either with respect to GOD, (2) or with respect to us.

... You see, we are not saying that faith is the meritorious or efficient cause of election, nor that God has elected us because of our faith.
— Rev. Johann Gerhard., Loci Theologici, De Electione et Reprobatione, §. 170.

Rev. Johann Gerhard on Election:

(2) However, it does not follow that if consideration for faith is involved in the act of election, then God does not elect us but we elect ourselves..

(3) that a reward is due to the justified and to their works by reason of the divine promise. ... [Therefore] the Scotists, together with us, hold the opinion of the Catholic Church."

[Avgvstinvs @aegidus0]

> "[W]e teach: (1) that a reward is given by God to good works, including both spiritual and bodily rewards, as well as an increase of glory; (2) that there is a debt of rendering a reward according to the divine promise;

...establish our assertions by reasons than by frequent citations of Aristotle's authority (though we shall not omit these either), since Aristotle's testimonies carry no weight unless they are supported by reason.
—Fr. Bartholomew Mastri., O.F.M. Cursus Phil, Met. disp. 12, q. 4

[Avgvstinvs @aegidus0]

@Arma__Christi @Jerrsosaved @1552prop @LutheranPrince That isn't grok, its a part of Fr. Berti's text that's saved on a server. You shouldn't jump to such conclusions, its rather uncivilized of you. One would not prefer to hold a normal civilized conversation with you if you keep going on like this

@ContraMolinism @Sola_Requiem It has never been so over.

@Nospinbill Waiting for it!

[Avgvstinvs @aegidus0]

The Seraphic Doctor responds, omitting some responses, that human will was not contrary to Divine, because divine willed human according to reason of nature and flesh to fleee death.
