English term or phrase: ran the danger of weakening man’s powerlessness to believe into a moral one.

Amyrauld (d. 1664), author of Traite de la Predestination, turned the common doctrine of the revealed will of God (voluntas signi), the sincere and well-meant offer of grace, into a separation decree that precedes that of election. In doing this he laid a Remonstrant foundation under the Calvinist building and ran the danger of weakening man’s powerlessness to believe into a moral one.

Não, Vagner. A idéia do autor é a de que a interpretação de Amyrauld deixa de criticar a impotência do homem em acreditar --- que, para o autor, é uma falha a ser combatida (pouca fé, incapacidade de ter fé). Ao fazê-lo, segundo o autor, Amyrauld corria o risco de ter elevado esta falha à condição de um estatuto moral. Portanto, ao invés de criticar uma falha, teria se arriscado a elevar esta falha à condição de exemplo a ser seguido. Tudo bem? : )

Notes to answerer

Asker: Desculpe, mas ainda não entendi. Seria algocomo "correu o risco de fazer comque a natureza humana fosse ainda mais impotente [mais incapaz] de acreditar, fazendo com que o fundamento se torne morall"? Seria mais ou menos isso?
