回喀碴的颠来倒去的“自由意志”:
见上面第9章。
第九章 论自由意志
上帝把本性的自由赋予人的意志,这意志既不受强迫趋向善恶,也不受本性绝对的必然所决定的去行善或作恶。
人在无罪的状态中,有自由与能力行善,并行上帝所喜悦的事,但那所有性是可变的,所以他可能从那状态中堕落。
人由于堕落在有罪的状态中,已经完全丧失一切行任何关乎得救的属灵善事之意志力;所以他既是一属血气的人,与善完全相反,又死在罪中,就不能凭自己的能力去改变自己的心,或预备改变自己的心。
当上帝使罪人改心并把他迁移至恩典状态中时,上帝就把他从罪恶本性的捆绑解放出来,并惟独借着他的恩典,使他有行属灵善事的意志与能力;但因为他尚有残余的败坏,所以他既不完全,也不专一立志向善,他也立志向恶。
惟独在荣耀状态中,人的意志才能有完全与不可改变的自由,以致向善。
Chapter IX
Of Free Will
I. God has endued the will of man with that natural liberty, that is neither forced, nor, by any absolute necessity of nature, determined good, or evil.[1]
II. Man, in his state of innocency, had freedom, and power to will and to do that which was good and well pleasing to God;[2] but yet, mutably, so that he might fall from it.[3]
III. Man, by his fall into a state of sin, has wholly lost all ability of will to any spiritual good accompanying salvation:[4] so as, a natural man, being altogether averse from that good,[5] and dead in sin,[6] is not able, by his own strength, to convert himself, or to prepare himself thereunto.[7]
IV. When God converts a sinner, and translates him into the state of grace, He frees him from his natural bondage under sin;[8] and, by His grace alone, enables him freely to will and to do that which is spiritually good;[9] yet so, as that by reason of his remaining corruption, he does not perfectly, or only, will that which is good, but does also will that which is evil.[10]
V. The will of man is made perfectly and immutably free to do good alone in the state of glory only.[11]
