You're getting comfortable again. Remember what happened last time.

@Atavulph @yohra_unit_4S O Brandon deve ter atualizado, mas aqui está minha tradução antiga do que ele escreveu sobre natureza e graça na perspectiva reformada: sedulitas.substack.com/p/proposicoes-… sedulitas.substack.com/p/observacoes-… sedulitas.substack.com/p/o-pecado-ori…

@Atavulph @yohra_unit_4S Mas por ele afirmar isso, algumas coisas que os reformados concordam se seguem, como o fato de ser negada a possibilidade do estado de natureza pura. Agora sobre a condenação do Baius e Jansen, eu apenas digo que eles estão corretos em geral na doutrina deles salvo essas coisas

I wanna end it all

@yohra_unit_4S @Atavulph quem é baianista

@Atavulph Ai tu tens que falar com um especialista . Eu só presbiteriano há 1 e meio

@DrJordanBCooper @WesternCatholik I can hold to the entirety of Hulsemann's system of providence and grace without problem and even Hulsemann himself quotes some reformed that defend something similar. The debates on regeneration, preparatory graces, temporary faith, historical faith, etc are related here.

@WesternCatholik Perhaps. Just saying that his biases often make him a less than reliable interpreter of either tradition.

"a true believer, a truly regenerate, a truly justified person, can fall away from divine grace, become an unbeliever, an unjust person, and consequently suffer the loss of the grace he received...the Reformed affirm all this entirely" Samuel Strimesius

@yohra_unit_4S @Eren020590 Pare de debater com burros x.com/i/status/20217…

@Eren020590 @graywithin

That can easily be refuted by the fact that if one refuses to obey God and his laws ,he doesn't have true faith.

Every Lutheran that still complains about the intuitu fide debate with the Reformed is just unread on that topic. Literally, guys, just read my translation of Barthold Holtzfuz book and move on.

"In vain the Catholic priests, attending at the executions of the Huguenots, tried to drown the thunder of Marot's Psalms with their Latin chants. The words lacked the savage energy of the vernacular French; the unknown tongue awakened no response from the crowd. Many victims were gagged before being burned: but the fire severed the cords which held the instruments in their place, and, with charred lips, the sufferers raised the Psalms. Others, whose tongues had been cut out, uttered sounds in which, though barely articulate, bystanders recognised the familiar words. So it was at Angers, in 1556, that Jean Rabec at the stake, while he was being alternately raised and lowered into the flames, continued to sing Psalm Ixxix., half choked with blood, till his end arrived. It was while a Protestant congregation was singing psalms in the grange at Vassy, in 1562, that Guise gave the signal for the massacres of the Huguenots which finally provoked the Wars of Religion. When once the sword was drawn, the Psalms became the war-songs of the Huguenots." Psalms in Human Life, Chapter VII

@DoorDashThomist Few know👆

“From this the delusion of the adversaries in this part becomes clear. For when they hear us saying that man is sanctified and cleansed from faults through a created form impressed on him in justification, they suppose or rather calumniate that we deny that man is sanctified and cleansed through the justice of God and of Christ, which is however expressly asserted in Scripture. But we do not even dream this; rather we say that man is sanctified and cleansed from sins through the justice of God and of Christ, and simultaneously through justice inhering in him but in different ways. For the particle ‘through,’ when applied to the extrinsic justice of God and of Christ the Lord, signifies the physical or moral efficient cause of our sanctification and cleansing from sins; whereas when applied to the justice inhering in us, it signifies the immediate and intrinsic formal cause of sanctification and remission of sins which form God causes principally and physically on account of the merits and justice of Christ the Lord as influencing morally. In that proportional way in which the illumination of the air comes about through the sun and through light inhering in the air but effectively through the sun and formally through the light. These do not conflict with each other, nor does one argue imperfection in the other in its genus, but they only prove that the same formal effect depends on many and diverse causes.” (Cursus Theologicus, Tr. XV, Disp. II, Dub. I, § II.)

"as to the sum of the matter, little or nothing of a distinction between Turrettin and Baxter appears... together with Dr. Baxter, Dr. Turrettin teaches in the second justification" Alexander Pitcarn, Evangelical Harmony Between Paul and James

Roman Catholics 2026 be like: "concupiscence of the flesh is formally no sin at all, but watching Inquisitor's video on Jerome as a Romanist is mortal sin"

Richard Baxter: "The Form of any Active substance is a certain Image of the Most Holy Trinity."

Ibid, Vásquez on the defense of this reading:

Gabriel Vásquez affirming that Durandus'/Aureolus'/à Dola's position on providence is the same as Augustine's position.

It never fails to be funny to see people translating and reading Berti just to figure out he is a second and worse Jansen.

@DoorDashThomist The reformed jesuits are going after you for this one

@graywithin That’s what I get for tweeting in the bathroom

“CONDEMENED: The reading of Sacred Scripture is for all.” (Unigenitus n. 80)

Type of guy that thinks Jansen is a good augustinian, but not quite radical enough

Partial obedience, actual or habitual, is only accepted through satisfaction and/or repentance.

"He [St. Augustine] calls this concupiscence, before the grace of baptism, sin on account of the guilt attached to it; but once this is removed in baptism, he calls it sin only by metonymy, because it is an effect or cause of sin." — Domingo de Soto
