VP of German Bishops’ Conference: Christ ‘became a human being, not a man’

In light of these reform ideas of Bishop Bode, it might be worth quoting here a prominent Protestant journalist and manager from Germany, Michael J. Inacker. In response to the German synodal path, Inacker commented on twitter: “Strange why Catholics imitate many of the mistakes of us Protestants with passion. What was once diversity in the #evangelical church is now reduced to simplicity. Nothing with a Christian profile. Cardinal #Woelki is right when he warns against Protestantization of Catholicism.”

There you go confusing everybody with facts. It's so, so, ----un-leftist of you./s

[FatherofFive]

God, our Father and our Mother. This is what the Jesuits teach now. It was great when the Jesuits were Catholic.

Doesn’t the German clergy get supported by taxes, not by the collection plate? As such, they can be as nonsensical as they want and there is no earthly consequence. Boy are they going to be surprised when they discover that their Redeemer isn’t nearly as clever in theology as they are.

I guess Francis will rephrase the Fourth Joyful Mystery.

[Telepathic Intruder]

And I always thought men were human beings. I clearly need reeducation. Then I’ll mindlessly believe Jesus was a trans-gendered non-religion-specific Leninist-Marxist environmental pacifist social justice warrior who’s kingdom didn’t matter as much as cultural diversity. Truth is flexible, the way to salvation negotiable, so just pick your own path to god.

How do they explain Luke 2:21?

[RichardMoore]

Germany got converted too late apparently.

[heartwood]

I think the most important thing was that Christ became human, mortal, suffering, fleshly, finite, and shared our humanness. That’s primary.

But definitely male, a boy baby growing into a man, conception to death.

Why is there even a fuss here?

2,000 years ago, she added, it was wise from God in light of the “cultural conditions” then to become a human being as a man.

God really painted Himself into a corner there. Guess He should have planned ahead better.

[nonsporting]

Jesus was a man.

23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

- Lk 2:23

And his mother was a human being, not a woman.

[Mrs. Don-o]

It's tied in to two profound Modernist goals which are venomously dangerous to both Church and Society:

(1) that the human race's "sexual binary" is at best meaningless and irrelevant, and at worst a patriarchal construct that needs to be DE-constructed. That sliding sound you hear is 1,000,000 knives unsheathing: the cutters are here. And...

(2) that Jesus' teachings and example are not normative or authoritative at all, but the product of cultural conditioning. He did not know how to think correctly about sex and gender, human nature or anything else because He was not as advanced as we are now.

In other words, they are using the sex-and-gender issue as the pivot point to destroy both Divine and Natural Law.

[Romulus]

Jesus is not a “human being”. He’s a divine person with a human nature. We cannot say that Jesus’s “being” is human.

[Telepathic Intruder]

And the word became flesh. Jesus called himself "the Son of Man" because he was born human.

Numbers 23:19:
“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent.

Jesus was born human so that he could represent both man and God. He can forgive the sins that mankind does, as well as be one of them.

[Romulus]

You are not getting my point. You are also not getting the Incarnation.

Is there any DNA testing from the Shroud that revealed XY chromosomes?

I searched the interweb but found nothing authoritative.
