It is to be noted that the necessitas medii always involves the necessitas praecepti, because God must needs will and impose upon us by positive precept whatever is objectively necessary as a means of salvation.
The necessitas medii is based on the objective relation of means to an end, and consequently binds all men, even the ignorant and those who are in error without their own fault.
In analyzing the notions of fides andnecessitas theologians distinguish between fides explicita and fides implicita, and between necessitas medii and necessitas praecepti.
The second opinion, which limits the necessitas medii to the New Testament, lacks solid proof.
Others(803) hold that this necessitas medii did not exist under the Old Covenant.
Etsi meum ingenium non moneret necessitas cogit--Albeit my own humor should not prompt the counsel, necessity compels it.
In utroque igitur necessitas inest: in hoc quidem sedendi, at vero in altero veritatis.
In utroque igitur necessitas inest: in hoc quidem sedendi, at uero in altero ueritatis.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "necessitas" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
