@garrettham_esq When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
@TheProjectUnity This post acts like manuscript scholarship is only done by this fringe character rather than biblical scholars for centuries. We have nag hamadi and Dead Sea scrolls to confirm the exact words of the prophets before the rabbinical changes in 6th century AD.
@ClubDeltic@owenthcarey Christianity has the whole truth but you probably think of the schism teachings when it comes to mind rather than the Word made flesh. The other religions have impersonal apophatic Gods who are unknowable, Christianity is kataphatic.
@dr_owenanderson Made in His image, and through grace in His likeness. If you have the same will, you are part of the Divine Council of living beings. For he is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
@Mike_daPsalmist It’s tough thinking in English to try to understand concepts that were originally in a different language with no one to one interchange between words that involve concepts or verbs. One essence, different energies. Same will, different persons.
@Clintons_Emails When Christ harrowed Hades there were some who did not follow him, when given the chance. There are some that will never bow or submit and would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven. Transformation requires repentance.
@needGod_net Can you have faith without the fruits of repentance, obedience and alms? You can’t live without a heart, but they declare you dead when you don’t have a pulse and cease breathing.
@PD_Newman Life is a relationship with love. To love and be loved is its greatest meaning, and makes it bloom. It’s not about food or shelter but our relationship to food, the land and its creatures.
@owenthcarey Exodus 32 has an example with Moses, when God wanted to smite the Israelites for worshipping a golden calf. Asked what other nations will think if brought them out and then killed them.
@ManassehRJones@JayDyer@Alex_Ortodoxie I have the hermeneutical lens of Christs original church, the church fathers, ecumenical councils, the faithful that resist schism and new inventions in the faith, apostolic succession to interpret; you have your own opinions based on limited life experience.
@Metaphysicmike His obedience is perfect and we struggle because ours is not. We need Christ to show us the path, the meaning and to assist us in the struggle. Your premise is like we are equal to Christ, I’m made in his image and strive for His likeness.
