Welcome to Certified Delusional.
Where bad arguments are dragged kicking and screaming to their logical conclusion. Good arguments aren’t getting a free pass either.
Philosophy. Theology. Culture. Ego.
Nothing is sacred enough to escape examination.
Question everything.
Especially the idiot in the mirror.
That dude is usually the most convincing liar in the room.
@needGod_net@joshwhitlatch You need to stop thinking like a child.
If you don’t pursue holiness you don’t belong to Him. So stop telling people they are good things to do, but essentially don’t matter.
REPENT
People still think they can save themselves.
More education. Better politics. Good therapy. A new guru with suspiciously expensive teeth.
But here is the problem:
The people you depend on still carry the same problem you have.
We all need a Savior.
Just not one that also needs saving.
No one should be stupid enough to claim that the entirety of divine revelation is contained in Scripture. Scripture itself tells us that not everything was written down.
Because not everything needed to be.
The question isn’t whether God ever revealed anything that wasn’t written. Of course He did. The question is whether everything necessary for the Church to preserve as the infallible standard of doctrine was committed to writing.
Those are two very different claims.
@GIOnycbkli@CatholicDrip___ This is a Catholic source. Find the actual quote of Justin and you will see that he never taught that it BECOMES the body. He always said it is His body.
God gave us the Bible through the apostles. And their disciples recognized them as Scripture. The fake argument that the Catholic Church gave it to us is categorically false.
You still haven’t understood that I agree with all these quotes about the Eucharist because they say it IS His body none of those say it BECOMES His body.
Pilar and foundation of truth. Learn what words mean, pillar and foundation: support preserve, uphold, proclaim. Truth: word of God
@JasonDeBer43401@CatholicDrip___ Ignatius didn’t teach it BECOMES His body. He taught it IS His body.
False: the Old Testament was already recognized and read.
@GIOnycbkli@CatholicDrip___ Okay.
You can listening to whoever you want.
Just telling you: that metaphysics is not in the Bible. So I wouldn’t trust it.
Did you just say self-reliance is a sin?
Not a single Scripture cited in that article.
God didn’t create babies who need to be carried through life. He created human beings in His image, gave them agency, and commanded them to rule over the earth.
Dependence on God does not mean helplessness. Trusting God does not require distrusting every capacity He gave you.
This is clever framing, but it isn’t what “cannot please God” means.
Is loving your child pleasing to God? Absolutely. So I guess you don’t love your child? Ridiculous.
Paul tells you exactly what he means in the previous verse: the mind set on the flesh “does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.” The problem is not that the person is metaphysically incapable of performing any act God finds good. The problem is hostility toward God and refusal to submit to Him.
So yes, a man could repent if he wanted to.
That is precisely the problem: he doesn’t want to.
Don’t turn unwillingness into the absence of a faculty.
