Correct. Thanks for pointing this out.
What I meant to imply by the chosen passage was that when he spoke, even at 12 years old, he didn't need a physical Bible because he embodied the Word of God.
becoming “partakers of the divine nature” does not make one god.
it has been pointed out to you before, but you continue to do the will of the father of lies.
keep it up.
So you also have a statue of your mother and kneel before it to pray? Do you also have a statue of her on your lawn? Pretend like the affection for Mary isnt inordinate if you want but no non Catholic buys it.
Not that you might care to, CB, but for those who honestly do wish to understand what is referred to here, this can serve as a primer:
In Christian theology, divinization, deification, making divine or theosis is the transforming effect of divine grace.[1] This concept of salvation is historical and fundamental for Christian understanding that is prominent in the Eastern Orthodox Church and also in the Catholic Church,[2][3] and is a doctrine of growing importance in certain Protestant denominations, being revived in Anglicanism in the mid-19th century.[1]
Catholics have to change Gods word to believe what they believe.
No problem, bondserv, I apologize for interrupting.
From what I posted. The CC indeed teaches that men will become gods. See post 560.
Do you deny that the human form of Jesus received divinity at conception?
Continued ignorance defies excuse.
Do you even know what an idol is?
See post 560
Find one example from scripture of deceased people being asked to pray for us.
And what does this mean to you?
Polytheism?
Good to see you still sharing it! This political season has my spirit stirred up. Back to Freeping for now. :-)
Now find one example of those being people who are deceased.
***Do you deny that the human form of Jesus received divinity at conception?***
Try and deflect all you like, dear CB, that was not the question put to you, nor was that your answer.
The divine nature of Jesus is eternal, He did not receive it from the Holy Spirit at conception which is what you claimed in that post.
The only thing Jesus received at His conception was His human nature, His physical body, which was united to His divine nature through the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit.
Wack A Mole!
First moles, first:
So do you walk back your intercessor statement now?
CCC 460 "For the Son of God became man so that we might become God."
Take it up with the CC. It looks pretty straight forward to me. Even has the capitol G.
You do know that summoning means the calling up as in raise someone from the dead it has nothing at all to do with praying with those who are in Glory with the Risen Living Lord.
If it means polytheism to you or anyone else, that is wrong, not a teaching of the Church, contrary to the creeds of the Church. Big time.
So, if that is what you get, you need to ask, read further, look at what is meant by the statement, understand what the concept, teaching, scriptural references are.
One would have to be honest in order to do this. The question that remains is, "are you"?
What hangs in the front of Catholic churches? I would call that an image of the uncorruptible God like unto corruptible man. Most Cathlics also have one or more in their home.
