"On the atonement, Dabney claimed that the Westminster Confession did not take a position on the order of decrees -- the long-standing debate among Calvinists over infralapsarianism and supralapsarianism. Indeed, he held that "if we impute our sequences to God, we plunge into error. The most we can comprehend is that God, in entertaining from eternity one part of this contemporaneous purpose, has regard to a state of facts as to that part destined by him to result from his same purpose as to other parts of his moral government"" (Sean Michael Lucas, Robert Lewis Dabney, 141-142).
