As St. Thomas Aquinas said:
“If you would like to know God, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you would like to love God, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you want to serve God, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you hope for eternal Happiness, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you wonder how much God loves you, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you wonder how He tries to prevent you from the yawning jaws of hell, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you wonder how much He will help you to save your immortal soul, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you wonder how much you should forgive others, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you wonder how much your faith demands of you, in humility, poverty, charity, meekness and every virtue, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you want to know what unselfishness and generosity are, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you wonder how far your own unselfishness should go to bring others to Christ, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you want to understand the need for self-denial and mortification, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you wish to live well, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!
If you wish to die well, LOOK AT THE CRUCIFIX!”
@jay2ktrendy@MrYesIKnowitAll@Muaddib_G@GraveTaco@cornski Look up a list of words that have had their meanings changed and adapted over time and tell me that meaning isn’t subjective. You obviously didn’t pass English class bro.
@jay2ktrendy@MrYesIKnowitAll@Muaddib_G@GraveTaco@cornski Meanings of words change over time. It’s the case for many words. You can look up a whole list of words that have had their meaning changed and adapted over time. Meaning is subjective. People are arguing every word has a set meaning and that’s not accurate at all.
@jay2ktrendy@MrYesIKnowitAll@Muaddib_G@GraveTaco@cornski Let’s get back to the original point. You said words have set meanings. And now you just admitted context affects meaning. So now we both agree that meaning is subjective and not static. Thank you 🙏
@jay2ktrendy@MrYesIKnowitAll@Muaddib_G@GraveTaco@cornski If you want to get down to it philosophically, yes, because they are different. Just like when people say “literally” and they don’t always mean literally. There are tons of other examples
