u·nit·ed (yū-nī'tĭd)
adj.
1. Combined into a single entity.
Now, what part of single entity can't you grasp?
You like Petronski need a dictionary and look up the word united and what it means.
You need to realize that it is a matter of common courtesy to ping someone when you are going to refer to them by name.
That's a lie - YES IT DOES.
Amazing that you think Matthew 16:19 is non-biblical and mythical.
Mat 16:19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
I don't have a problem with that.
Children don't have the capacity for personal sin.
You do not get to determine what you believe, nor do you get to choose which definition of united we are using.
You do not get to determine what we believe...
It does not.
And that's how I feel about you. Are we at an impasse?
Sin flows from within desiring, lusting, envy, rebellion. Its basically a focus upon selfish desires that flow from WITHIN. As we give in to these desires the outward actions follow.
Yes. As we give in. That is, as we choose what we know is wrong.
Of course our desires fuel our sins. But they are not the responsible party. Our will is. That's what Adam and Eve is all about. They chose to disobey. There's not even any mention about how good the forbidden fruit was, it's identity is basically irrelevant. What was important was the choice to disobey.
The outward actions are not in and of themselves 'sin', they are the manifestation of the inner condition of our hearts.
That's right, the outward actions are not the sin. It is our choice to give in to the inner desires in a selfish way. A capacity that children lack.
Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
1Pe 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
Hey, there's a lot of popes there...
If it was intellectual, Christ wouldn’t have chosen uneducated fisherman, but learned Pharisees.
I have no time for playing coy. The families I spoke about are MY families and friends.
Oh plueeze. The exegetical gyrations you are putting yourself through are now absurd. Are you seriously now trying to claim that all saints are now co-Saviors????? LOL! I guess we save ourselves now eh? Hint: "This day you shall be with Me in Paradise" does not mean we become gods. It means what it says, that we will be with Christ, no more and no less. Its YOUR catechism that teaches united means oneness with Christ, "Queen of ALL" and Co-Savior, and INTERCESSOR.
You need to realize that it is a matter of common courtesy to ping someone when you are going to refer to them by name.
Why should I ping him when I had ALREADY written the very same thing TO HIM?
If united here means "combined with" it makes no sense. Is it alleged was she a goddess until Christ's death? Of course not; your suggestion produces a nonsensical result.
However, since united here means "harmonious mutual action, cooperation" it makes perfect sense. In reading CCC 964, it becomes abundantly clear that "combined with" is not what is meant by the text.
But you used your retelling to ascribe bad behavior to catholic families generally. That is the essence of bigotry.
Do you think a human without sin is the same as God?
Do you realize that humanity and divinity are two entirely different "species"?
It means you will be with me...It does NOT mean, you will be me...
No, that's you doing that.
I'm not claiming that there is a "co-savior."
Why should I ping him when I had ALREADY written the very same thing TO HIM?
You used his name.
