Socinians on Philippians 2:13
Thesis LXXXVIII. Someone may say that where saving good is concerned Scripture ascribes to God our very willing, no less than the outward deed, as in Paul's words to the Philippians: 'It is God who works in you both to will and to accomplish, for his good pleasure.'
They answer that these words, and others like them that ascribe a person's conversion to God, do not mean that God wholly and necessarily brings about in people what the words say, but that God leaves out nothing that serves to bring it about while our will's freedom stays intact.
God draws and invites us to will the good by the greatness of his gifts and by the certainty, surpassing worth and breadth of his promises. By these he makes us not able to will, which we have by nature, but actually willing; yet he does it in such a way that it always lies in our power to resist that divine efficacy. This is set out more fully in Volkelius the Socinian, On True Religion, book 5, chapter 18.
Latin
LXXXVIII. Quod si quis dicat ipsum velle nostrum, non minus quam opus externum, quum de salutari bono quaestio est, Deo in Scriptura tribui, juxta illud Pauli ad Philippenses. Deus est qui operatur in vobis & velle & perficere pro bona voluntate: Respondent istis verbis & similibus quibus Deo tribuitur hominis conversio, non significari Deum omnino & necessario in hominibus efficere quod verba sonant: sed Deum nihil eorum omittere quae ad id efficiendum, libertate voluntatis nostrae salva, pertineant. Nimirum quia Deus nos ad bonum volendum allicit & invitat beneficiorum magnitudine, & promissionum tum certitudine, tum summa praestantia atque amplitudine, quibus efficit, non ut velle possimus, quod nobis naturaliter inest, sed ut reipsa velimus: quod tamen efficit ea ratione, ut semper in nostra potestate situm sit efficaciae isti divinae resistere. Quae pluribus diducta videre est apud Volkelium Socinianum, De vera Religione libro quinto capite decimo octavo.
