@maksimologija@messedupfoods Owning uncultivable mountainside makes you a cvnt? Are Europeans allergic to fresh air? LARP all you want about your nobody nobility with magic blood and 0 political power. I’m soaking in the majesty of God’s creation on a daily basis!
Daniel never worshipped God in Babylon guys. The angels never worship God guys. And if you say "no they offer themselves" whoops so do Protestants at these services
(This is exactly what I mean BTW about repeating arguments that have been refuted even by his own writers. Shameful Popery right here.)
Aquinas:
"As stated above (Article 1), a sacrifice is offered in order that something may be represented. Now the sacrifice that is offered outwardly represents the inward spiritual sacrifice, whereby the soul offers itself to God according to Psalm 50:19, "A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit," since, as stated above (II-II:81:7; II-II:84:2), the outward acts of religion are directed to the inward acts. Again the soul offers itself in sacrifice to God as its beginning by creation, and its end by beatification: and according to the true faith God alone is the creator of our souls, as stated in I:90:3; I-II:118:2, while in Him alone the beatitude of our soul consists, as stated above (I-II:01:8; I-II:2:8; I-II:3:1 and I-II:3:7 and I-II:3:8). Wherefore ***just as to God alone ought we to offer spiritual sacrifice,** so too ought we to offer outward sacrifices to Him alone: even so "in our prayers and praises we proffer significant words to Him to Whom in our hearts we offer the things which we designate thereby," as Augustine states (De Civ. Dei x, 19)."
And speaking on whether people not Priests can offer sacrifice:
"Sacrifice is twofold, as stated above (Article 2). **The first and principal is the inward sacrifice, which all are bound to offer, since all are obliged to offer to God a devout mind.*** The ***other*** is the outward sacrifice, and this again is twofold. There is a sacrifice which is deserving of praise merely through being offered to God in protestation of our subjection to God: and the obligation of offering this sacrifice was not the same for those under the New or the Old Law, as for those who were not under the Law. For those who are under the Law are bound to offer certain definite sacrifices according to the precepts of the Law, whereas those who were not under the Law were bound to perform certain outward actions in God's honor, as became those among whom they dwelt, but not definitely to this or that action. The other outward sacrifice is when the outward actions of the other virtues are performed out of reverence for God; some of which are a matter of precept; and to these all are bound, while others are works of supererogation, and to these all are not bound."
@UBERSOY1@helios_celesti It’s just as genetic as saying a manor estate which has had its boards and beams and and bricks repaired and replaced over the course of 800 years is still the same manor, even if none of the materials remaining were laid by the founder.
