Question 94 — The State or Condition of the First Man as to His Intellect

We next consider the state or condition of the first man; first, as regards his soul; second, as regards his body.

Concerning the first there are two things to be considered: (1) The condition of man as to his intellect; (2) the condition of man as to his will.

Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether the first man saw the Essence of God?

• (2) Whether he could see the separate substances, that is, the angels?
• (3) Whether he possessed all knowledge?
• (4) Whether he could err or be deceived?
