in light of classical theism’s understanding of God as the pure, unconditioned Act of Existence itself, not even the word “is” can be considered theologically neutral

To say multiple things “are” such and such, this implies a metaphysical category of existence which transcends particular modes of participation in existence

And if “existence” is something that has to be received and participated in, then there must be some reality in Whom existence is not received or partaken of in any respect, ie, the pure, unconditioned act of Existence itself upon Whom everything else must depend for its participated mode of existence

Were this not the case, existence would be purely derivative along an infinite chain of beings that do not have existence in virtue of what they are, and therefore existence could’t “get” to anything in the first place, and nothing would exist

the existence of the average kino casino viewer presents a greater emotional challenge in reconciling God’s infinite goodness with evil than war, famine or plague

“name one moral action done by a believer that an atheist could not also do”
uhhh how about worshipping God lol, literally commandment #1

no other religious doctrine on earth communicates the fundamental compatibility of God, humanity, and the cosmos so richly and uncompromisingly as the hypostatic union of Christ’s human and divine natures

Christ: don’t go out of your way to tell everyone you’re fasting (Matt 6:16)

some of you niggas on Easter Friday: *loudly and proudly broadcasts to everyone how rigidly you adhere to non-binding, pre-Vatican II fasting and abstinence rules*

it actually only takes one singular act of perfect love to create and redeem the entire Cosmos out of nothing, but this power is unique to God, because only God can love perfectly out of pure gratuity

at the end of the day Nick Fuentes is a builder whose achievements are concrete, nameable, and verifiably consequential, which simply can’t be said for ANY of the ankle-biting losers who hate on him for a living

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Unironically could be an Easter miracle, pray and thank God in advance!

welcome home frens

this is how a 5 year old thinks

people are misinterpreting this. in Elon’s opinion (right or wrong), political neutrality by itself would upset the “far left” and “far right”

he’s not saying he wants to censor far left and far right views lol

the Catholic Church is the only Christian denomination that simultaneously believes marriage is a holy Sacrament instituted by Christ Himself and that perpetual virginity conduces toward a higher state of perfection for those who called to it

one of the most beautiful things about the Incarnation is that Christ does not possess a human personhood (or hypostasis), but is a Divine personhood united with a divine and human *nature*. because of this, His humanity is not severed from other members of the species and His very Body and Blood can be partaken of without itself being in any way diminished or divided

prediction: debates over predestination and the efficacy of grace will not be resolved until the last judgment

until then, I think the best treatment on this subject is found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0931888662/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7YZEW1Z1P0S2WBDM5ZX2

pope francis > pastor steven anderson

lol at all the people seething about this

pick any of Pope Francis’ homilies at random and set them against any Independent Fundamental Baptist low iq vulgarian preacher

Francis will usually be giving some pretty decent pastoral lessons about how to cultivate a holy interior life and avoid the snares of the Devil

IFB preachers will just be giving a low quality edgy entertainment talk show from the pulpit
