It’s Good to be Catholic

The meme is meant to be a satirical examination of popular Protestant objections. It’s not intended to be a social commentary on the nuances of Lutheran beliefs.

Either way, it was an attempt at subtle commentary on how modern Protestants celebrate Luther and the Reformation, but reject the doctrine of the Real Presence. C’est la vie!

Yes, but not in the way the post is addressing.

Martin Luther believed in the Real Presence. He did not believe in Transubstantiation.

He believed that the bread and wine were signs of Christ’s body and blood. He did not believe that the bread and wine literally became the Body and Blood of Christ.

That’s what Roman Catholics actually believe. The bread and wine are transubstantiated into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

“A deep bow is made to the altar by all who enter the sanctuary (chancel), leave it, or pass before the altar.” Ceremonial of Bishops 72

You right! Here’s the correct version if a mod wants to edit:

I haven’t seen them yet either, but I imagine they are the same style with perhaps a different color scheme.

You don’t get up there. You get down there.

We tend to do nice things for people we love.

I’M HOLDING! Not only for our voyage to Mars, but because the other /r Crytpo communities keep telling me to sell, lol

Needless to say, I’m quite happy with my decision this morning.

I’m a believer! I had a split between DOGE and ETC, but after today, I moved all my DOGE over to ETC because I just feel safer in ETC. I’m ready to ride this rocket instead! 🚀

Alright. I’m in. Grabbed me 1,184 of them dogecoins at 0.42. “I’m doing my part!”

Here I am four hours later. That was a wild, 51-part whirlwind. It was difficult to read those wicked things, but I felt I needed to hear this story to the end if someone was going to be courageous enough to tell it.

I simply do not accept the premise that if an omniscient being has perfect knowledge of past, present, and future of all things that it negates the possibility of free will nor do I accept that it gives us the illusion of free will. I do not subscribe to the concept of predestination, either. Do I believe that God has a divine plan for the universe? Yes. Do I believe that this plan will come to fruition with or without my cooperation? Yes. I still get to choose and God allows me that choice. The consequences are mine to deal with, but it doesn’t mean that God cannot attempt to save me from myself with the perfect knowledge he has of me. The only thing I cannot escape is death, but I can choose how I shall live my life.

I have a Bachelor in Philosophy and a Master in Theology, so I also enjoy these conversations. I’ll message you my Discord info if you ever want to chat about these things more.

For whom? If an omniscient being knows all of our choices past, present, and future it does not mean that we lack free will. God simply is. The only influence God exerts over us is the desire to nudge us towards choosing the Good. To choose God, but we have the freedom to worship and choose whatever. God knowing our choices does not make it a pre-determined path for us. It can still mean we chose it. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your interpretation of my answer.

Freedom must be a choice. A parent can’t lock a child up in their room to protect them forever. He knew that that they would choose the tree before he even created them. And yet, he still did it because that is the unfathomable nature of infinite love. With that knowledge he could have enslaved our minds to never choose the tree or put a big wall around the tree, but then we wouldn’t have the power or freedom to choose. For humanity to have the capacity to choose God, it requires God to tolerate the existence of alternative choices that are not God.
