@LeorSapir It is a purely iatrogenic epidemic. Once you open clinics for teenagers where you promise that psychic and social problems are due to X, and X can be treated by Y (here: hormones and surgery), you will recruit a variety of unhappy young persons to your clinic.>
@AugustusThinker@Gee__Sus@DrMagier I work in trauma. While it is still likely that Nowak would not have survived his injuries, if he was still responsive 15-20 minutes after the stabbing, it is by no means guaranteed that he would not have survived, especially if immediate emergency medical care was provided.
@DANNELSON140485@KennyBurchard I am not the Christ. Nor are you. But I believe that Christ gave us Scripture, Tradition, and a Magisterium to guide us with the help of the Holy Spirit to keep the Faith. The Church of Christ says you are not Christian. That is enough for me.
@DANNELSON140485@KennyBurchard God is one being: one undivided essence/nature. He is the ground of all being. He is Being itself. โI am that I am.โ That is โwhatโ God is. He revealed Himself to us as three co-eternal Persons. That is โWhoโ God is. Each Person is fully God, undivided. They are not three beings.
@DANNELSON140485@KennyBurchard I donโt have to acknowledge anything. This discussion is about whether we should call you Christians. I have stated why we do not and will not call you Christians. You can call yourselves whatever you like though.
@petalsgrace@libraryofgodwin@rexthundercock We donโt believe in Partialism. Each Person of the Trinity is fully God. Since we believe God existed before Creation, created all of reality, sustains it, & is not an element of creation, our view of Christ is infinitely higher than one reduced to being merely a part of creation
@ZekeCreek@needGod_net@metathomist I donโt deny that Jewish Christians, especially in the first few years, continued to circumcise, etc. But there is no evidence that the Apostles, as part of their evangelisation, went around telling people they should still get circumcised and observe all the feasts.
@JohnofStafford@AleppoAteMyFace No, but I still struggle with it. The Church says 3 years of being completely chaste before considering priesthood/religious life. I try, but Iโm failing miserably.
@ZekeCreek@needGod_net@metathomist The Apostles specifically did *not* circumcise any longer, especially after the Council of Jerusalem. They did, however, continue to baptise, which St. Paul described as the new circumcision.
@RinjaSpicy@HaruhiAisaka@bunburyoudoujp I donโt know what any of that means, but why would I doubt he is Catholic? Iโm the worst of sinners, but by Godโs good grace, He has welcomed me into His Church. This guy seems a better man than me.
@frateranselmus@rightscholar Itโs a tough call. Mormons have a higher view of Jesus (divine, not merely a prophet), but Muslims are at least monotheists and have a much higher view of God (not one of many gods, or merely an organiser of matter instead of creating out of nothing).
@sp1fffX@father_rmv Actually the Catholic Church, being the Church founded by Christ Himself, is welcome to determine the bounds of orthodoxy. But no one is stopping you from calling yourselves Christians. Just donโt expect us to call you that.
@SladeTheGuy@KennyBurchard No, we are not pantheists. However, every rock and all of Creation has its being in and is sustained by God. You donโt have to agree with me. Again, my point is just that we have irreconcilable beliefs. We do not follow the same religion.
