Peter Lombard (16)
some things are sins and punishment of sin simultaneously, some are sins and the cause of sin, but others are sins and the cause and punishment of sin.
Peter Lombard
The Sentences, Book 2, Distinction 36, C12.2K
she was formed not from just any part of his body, but from his side, so that it should be shown that she was created for the partnership of love, lest, if perhaps she had been made from his head, she should be perceived as set over man in domination; or if from his feet, as if subject to him in servitudeThe Sentences, Book 2, Dist 18, Ch 2
if Jacob had been elected because of his future merits, then his election would no longer be from grace: and so he was not elected by God because of what he was going to become, but he became such because of his election.The Sentences, Book 1, Dist 41
Here [is stated] according to what reprobation is considered. Similarly, God's reprobation, by which he has reprobated some from eternity by not electing them, is considered according to two things, of which he foreknows one, but does not prepare it, that is, iniquity; the other he foreknows and prepares, namely eternal punishment.The Sentences, Book 1, Dist 40
the term faith is taken in three ways, namely for that by which one believes, and it is a virtue; also, for that by which one believers, and it is not a virtue; also, for that which is believed, which is different from that by which one believes.The Sentences, Book 3, Dist 23, C3
it was not a nature that took on a person, nor a person a person, but a person a nature.The Sentences, Book 3, Dist 5, Chapter 1
in that first state, he had the power to die and the power not to die; and this was the first immortality of the human body, namely the power not to die. But in his second state, after sin, he had the power to die and no power not to die, because in this state it is a necessity to die. In his third state, he shall have the power not to die and no power to die, because to that state pertains the impossibility of dying; this will be from grace, not from nature.The Sentences, Book 2, Dist 19, Ch 1
man was made in the image and likeness of God in respect to his mind, by which he excels irrational creatures; in his image, however, according to memory, intelligence, and love; in his likeness according to innocence and justice, which are naturally in the rational mind.The Sentences, Book 2, Dist 16, Ch3
if it is asked for what is the rational creature created, answer: to praise God, to serve him, to enjoy him. By these things the creature profits, not God.The Sentences, Book 2, Dist 1.
As God prepared some for punishment from eternity, so he prepared others for glory.The Sentences Book 1, Dist 47
Here is stated what the effect of predestination is. For the effect of predestination is that grace by which we are justified in the present and are assisted to live rightly and to persevere in the good, and also the grace by which we are blessed in the future.The Sentences, Book 1, Dist 40
He predestined those whom he elected, but he reprobated the rest, that is, he foreknew that they would sin to eternal death.The Sentences, Book 1, Dist.39
As to the objection which they make from the Gospel (John 15:26), we respond as follows: Although in that text Truth says that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father, he does not add alone, and so he does not deny that the Spirit proceeds also from himself. But he names the Father alone, "because he usually refers to the Father even that which is his own," because he has it from the Father.The Sentences, Book 1, D-XI, Ch1
let us say that the Son was born from the Father before all time, and is forever being born from the Father, but, more fittingly, is forever born.The Sentences, Book 1, D-IX, 8.
In God knowledge and will are one and the same, as also are foreknowledge and predestination. Thus, although the nature and will of God are one, yet it is said that the Father generated the Son by nature, not by will, and that he is God by nature, not by will.The Sentences, Vol 1, 40
[Christ] offered himself on the altar of the cross not to the devil, but to the triune God, and he did so for all with regard to the sufficiency of the price, but only for the elect with regard to its efficacy, because he brought about salvation only for the predestined.The Sentences, Book 3: On the Incarnation of the Word
