Sigh.
Rejection is a negative reaction.
I’m done with with you on your silly semantics. Go find somebody else to play with.
“Sigh. Rejection is a negative reaction.”
No. Again, if you have a “negative reaction” that means you never accepted it in the first place. God’s love is continuous once accepted. If we commit a mortal sin, we are rejecting His love. We are not reacting to His love since we already had that.
If you quit a job at a company after working there for 20 years in order to work elsewhere (we sin in order to acquire perceived goods), you are rejecting their employment, you are not “negatively reacting” to their employment of you. If you thought their employment was worth having a negative reaction to it that would have come when you were hired rather than 20 years later. To say otherwise is to say that someone could even possibly have a negative reaction to God’s love. That’s not possible. We reject it in pursuit of perceived goods. We never have a negative reaction to it in itself.
“Sin sets itself against God’s love for us and turns our hearts away from it” (CCC 1850).
In CCC 397 it is clear that all since is a rejection of God, not a “negative reaction” to His love for us. This is the language of scripture as well:
1 Samuel 10:19 (RSVCE)
19 But you have this day rejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, ‘No! but set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.”
“I’m done with with you on your silly semantics.”
In other words, you’re wrong and can’t make anything even approaching an argument in defense of your false claims. Yeah, that was obvious from the start.
“Go find somebody else to play with”
I don’t play. You don’t either. You just fail and then quit.
