@P3droHB_ Symbolizing of falling into a rhythm of life that, while appearing to outsiders to be comfortable, is causing great pain. Meanwhile the life that to others looks painful or unsightly, would actually be right for you. You should paint this.
@JamesDitto12@foxes_on_fire@redeemed_zoomer It feels like you want to reject the term and are making it bend so that you can reject it but I could be misunderstanding your position.
@JamesDitto12@foxes_on_fire@redeemed_zoomer You say mother denotes source but that’s only your opinion?
A mother does not create her child’s soul in her womb. God creates all of us, no mother creates her child.
Jesus is fully God and fully human and Mary is His mother so she’s the mother of God.
@JamesDitto12@foxes_on_fire@redeemed_zoomer Bearer is undoubtably true, so Theotokos works for sure.
I think you have to push more on the source/origin claim though. I think bearing, birthing, and raising would typically mean mother, no? While Jesus always existed he is still fully man with a mother.
@Polyphe19152151@foxes_on_fire@redeemed_zoomer Joseph was his adopted father, yes.
God the Father immaculately conceived Jesus unto Mary so she is his only blood relative. Jesus is God so his familial relations are familial relations to God.
Joseph’s sons from his previous wife are his half siblings through adoption.
@foxes_on_fire@redeemed_zoomer I think the issue stems from the idea that a mother creates her children at all. Children are created by God, bore and birthed by their mothers. This cannot be true of Jesus as he was Begotten of course! Still he as the divine person God was bore and birthed by his mother Mary.
@foxes_on_fire@redeemed_zoomer I think I see what you’re saying with that where it’s again that Calvin just didn’t want the term “mother” to extend to the other members of the Trinity, or to mean she is what CREATED Jesus or his divinity. (Simplified as opposed to your explanation).
@foxes_on_fire@redeemed_zoomer Did Mary not mother Jesus? Did she not raise him as a child? Or did she only bear him? Was he not God as a child, as a baby? I think the refusal to call her the Mother of God does seem to deny that God truly humbled himself as a human baby totally dependent on his mother.
How can one ever reach a middle ground with such an ideology? This person is glad a man was convicted for “harassment and intimidation” for SILENTLY praying. No evidence brought up can change their mind.
@ChristianHeiens @prometheus233 @whatifalthist I will brotha. I’ll keep on you until a subtle passion become an obnoxious one! I love these subjects and I’m happy you’re exposing more people to them
@ChristianHeiens @prometheus233 @whatifalthist I know that’s one of the reasons I think you two would have some good content.
He just made a video critiquing the materialist worldview and used consciousness as one of his evidence pieces. Right up the alley of that last tweet.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
