cont.
Below are the Roman Catholic Counter-Reformation doctrine which embraces synergism and rejects the Reformation teaching of monergism as an anathema.CANON IV. If any one shall affirm, that man’s freewill, moved and excited by God, does not, by consenting, cooperate with God, the mover and exciter, so as to prepare and dispose itself for the attainment of justification; if moreover, anyone shall say, that the human will cannot refuse complying, if it pleases, but that it is inactive, and merely passive; let such an one be accursed"! CANON V.- If anyone shall affirm, that since the fall of Adam, man’s freewill is lost and extinguished; or, that it is a thing titular, yea a name, without a thing, and a fiction introduced by Satan into the Church; let such an one be accursed"! |

cont.
Council of Trent CHAPTER V (Sixth Session)It is furthermore declared that in adults the beginning of that justification must proceed from the predisposing grace of God through Jesus Christ, that is, from His vocation, whereby, without any merits on their part, they are called; that they who by sin had been cut off from God, may be disposed through His quickening and helping grace to convert themselves to their own justification by freely assenting to and cooperating with that grace; so that, while God touches the heart of man through the illumination of the Holy Ghost, man himself neither does absolutely nothing while receiving that inspiration, since he can also reject it, nor yet is he able by his own free will and without the grace of God to move himself to justice in His sight… |

Since Yamil buried my posts I will repost them.Michael Endicott,
Many Arminians (synergists) dialogue with the Roman Catholic Church, one of the biggest being Billy Graham, who believes like you that Christ died for everyone and that you are only born-again of the Holy Spirit after you have believed and repented. It makes a lot more sense for the Arminians (synergists) to dialogue with the Roman Catholic Church because they are quite similar in beliefs. (See Council of Trent) This path is enormously popular today among many!! "...for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:" cont. |
