@OfftheDimmadome@MikaelKrauze@TheFreeWillHoax@SpeedWatkins Not punished for lack of agency to change themselves, but because the culpability is never removed
Mortal sin introduces a disorder concerning the final end of a person. That disorder is irreparable after death and thus the guilt remains forever
@FFRF You are clearly using democracy to mean liberal democracy. The idea that the separation of church and state is necessary for ‘mere democracy’ is of course absurd
@OfftheDimmadome@MikaelKrauze@TheFreeWillHoax@SpeedWatkins I would disagree. Divorce is an evil
But even if you are correct, it wouldn’t be the case with God. Christian theology doesn’t view God as just another good being. God IS the Good. So rejecting God is rejecting goodness itself.
@MikaelKrauze@TheFreeWillHoax@SpeedWatkins Punished is meted out because sin is a disorder introduced by culpable act
Sinning harms one’s relationship to God. It isn’t that it harms God
@denimneverdies That is your claim. But having power over x does not necessarily mean that one is coercing x
The state has authority over its citizens. But it doesn’t mean that its citizens can’t genuinely freely choose to follow its laws.
@denimneverdies I asked you like 5 times why Mary is “rent a womb” and you have refused to answer it
You are a pseudo intellectual who is afraid to actually defend what you say because you haven’t actually studied theology. You are not familiar with any of the sources
@denimneverdies What is the reason given and how is it an excuse for the systematic subjugation, including rape, of women?
And you ignored the first question
@denimneverdies How was Mary’s womb used “as a tool?”
I’ll be more precise: women cannot be among the clergy. What is your reasoning for why that is wrong?
