QUESTION
93
The
Eternal Law
PREAMBLE
|
The Eternal Law
We next have to consider each type of
law individually. We will consider, first, the eternal
law (question 93); second, the natural law (question 94);
third, human law (questions 95-97); fourth, the Old Law
(questions 98-105); fifth, the New Law, i.e., the Law of
the Gospel (questions 106-108). As for the law of the
stimulant to sin (lex fomitis), enough was said
above during the discussion of Original Sin (questions
81-83).
On the first topic there are six
questions: (1) What is the eternal law? (2) Is the
eternal law known to everyone? (3) Does every law stem
from the eternal law? (4) Are necessary things subject to
the eternal law? (5) Are natural contingent things
subject to the eternal law? (6) Are all human affairs
subject to the eternal law? |
