Theology Is The Doctrine Or Teaching Of

Active Creation Is Conceived As A Transitive Action In Which There Is Always Presupposed An Object About Which The Agent Is Concerned; It Is Virtually But Not Formally Transitive Because It Makes, Not Presupposes, An Object.

Hearing The Word Is The Devout Receiving Of The Will Of God.

Participation In The Blessings Of The Union With Christ Comes When The Faithful Have All The Things Needed To Live Well And Blessedly To God.

Therefore, The Church Is Not Absolutely Necessary As An Object Of Faith, Not Even For Us Today, For Then Abraham And The Other Prophets Would Not Have Given Assent To Those Things Which Were Revealed To Them From God Without Any Intervening Help Of The Church.

The Inward Offer Is A Kind Of Spiritual Enlightenment, Whereby The Promises Are Presented To The Hearts Of Men, As It Were, By An Inward Word.
