The Six Principles of Apophatism

The six principles that I have enunciated above should be held in tension with one another in a non-reductive way such that none of them is used to exclude the reality of the others. They work together insofar as they each cast a positive cataphatic light on the mystery of God's predestination of the saints. Each are irreducibly unique points of intelligibility concerning the mystery. The tension between them creates takes on an apophatic character. Here we can consider the irreplaceable role of apophaticism by stating in succinct fashion that the six principlesEnunciated above each what each of them excludes. Negatively.
