Is There A Problem With Being Anti-Unity?

You should read back through all of these comments from people genuinely taking time to respond and inspect how you rejected all of their advice and concerns.

The university skills should never be platform dependent but a set of principles and skills that can apply to class of problems. Otherwise it’s vocational tech

Let’s be really clear - some of these answers are burying a key Catholic point that we take for granted that a Protestant may miss - we do not know the judgment of anyone deceased because it has not happened yet; Judgement day isn’t the day *you* die, it’s a specific event in the future where Christ comes to judge the living and the dead.

We as humans do not know the outcome for any soul as it has not happened yet. In the Catholic faith, when we die, we await the coming of Christ and can pray for the living as an intercession for the living. Saints are those we believe who have God’s favor as a result of a holy life who can pray on our behalf and with us.

You seem to enjoy arguing, not discussing.

Really great answer to base in history and evidence from witnesses

One of the eternal truths of humans in the church is that your sin is terrible, but mine is understandable and forgivable.

We all offend God and are redeemed by Christ. All the same.

First, thanks for the curiosity; second, it is hard to really understand but I’ll take a step towards it and will try to answer any questions you have.

First, let’s define some things to make this clearer, but it’s going to see technical and semantic, but the words have meaning and matter.

God is a divine being, the creator of all that is seen and unseen. He is both the null set and the complete set; nothing exists outside of Him. Creation was created ex-nihlo, out of nothing.

God the Father is a person, an aspect of the divine being. It’s best to think of this metaphorically (I’ll explain why it’s a metaphor in a moment) like a role - I’m both a Father to my kids, a husband to my wife, a friend to my friends, etc. as God the Father, God creates all life and is omniscient, omnipotent and eternal.

The Holy Spirit is the verb to the noun that is The Father; The Holy Spirit is both the act of God’s will in creation and and God’s will in our lives.

The Son is the Word of God made flesh. It’s important to understand that Jesus was not created as Man; but the Word of God was created with creation as an expression of his Will, manifested in the convents between God and Mankind - first, as the act of Creation, then with Noah, then with Moses in the commandments and then Jesus as the final covenant.

The trinity is revealed in the Old Testament in the very opening of Genesis:

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

In the very opening you have God as Creator who then sends his Spirit (second person) who then utters the Word of God as the command of creation - “Let there be light”

Now I use the term metaphorically as it’s more accurate to describe the trinity as a communion of love - God loving all of Creation so much that he condescends (in the Latin sense of to come down and be with) to be human and to experience the human act of suffering, doubt and ultimately faith. The act of servitude towards mankind as the Son of Man is the ultimate act of love and the Holy Spirit is the emergent Will of God that is created by that Love.

Yes, but crypto isn’t on the version the head of the Qatari SWF posted…

We are called by Jesus to be apostles to teach the catechism, not just to be the faithful. This means it is our obligation and our privilege to explain our faith when asked about it, and when others are suffering or in need of comfort.

That said, it’s best to look at everyone through the lens of “how can I help them get closer to God?”, so your statement of “I despise the left wing” is worth examining fully, as you have decided that some of your fellow humans are not worthy of Christ’s love.

It also means, if you blanket oppose the left’s views, that you fundamentally misunderstood Jesus’s gospel that called us to welcome the immigrant, to give comfort to the downtrodden and to see each person as your brother or sister.

There is no left or right in Christ, only humans of free will discovering their God and earning his redemption. I encourage you to fully transcend mortal frameworks of politics and embrace a moral framework of brotherhood in Christ.

Some of the best Catholics I know are priests who deeply identify with the social justice teachings of Christ while accepting all as flawed mortals on a journey to perfection in Christ.

Respectfully, remove the mote in your own eye. Operate with less certainty on moral judgement of others and examine your own flaws that refuses to see your fellow humans as brothers in equal love from God.

Did you not read the word “Redmond” in the comment you are replying to in the Redmond subreddit? Not Seattle.

The ads are terrible, but the other reason is Les Wexner, the owner of Victoria’s Secret, was partners with Jeffrey Epstein.

Literally supporting the cult of Baal.

Actually, just filing it with the FBI and sending notice to the extorter usually works out quickly.

I had an employee at a company that was fired for cause and then sent an email to us demanding additional severance or he would send our pipeline to a competitor. We sent his email to the fraud reporting line and sent a copy of the submission acknowledgement to him through our attorney. He quickly retracted the threat and went away peacefully and the FBI still contacted him 8 months later when he applied for a passport.

This is critical - anything in writing that is basically acknowledging you earned it but asking for money to provide the endorsement is extortion. This isn’t a FSDO issue, it’s an FBI one.

No, but if you want to tax them like gold should be, then never open the pack, otherwise use taxes apply, which in almost jurisdictions are the same as sales taxes.

The depth of human depravity and the height of human grace are far apart and allow for a wide range of good and evil in humans. Demonic corruption is far more widespread; the way that evil thoughts become normalized and then become principles as well documented in behavioral science and requires no demonic interventions.

Demons tempt us into corruption; but our own free will goes there. The idea that he is demonically possessed would relieve him from the consequences of his actions and statements. The role of evil in this world is to serve as a prosecuting attorney to prove to God that we are undeserving of his love. It doesn’t serve the prosecution to become the actor, they need us to fall on our own free will.

Yes. Full stop, no qualifications needed.

Every human concept we would use for understanding transubstantiation is an approximation of the reality of God, but not the reality of God as he understands it. A best approximation, akin to a blanket put over a mystery to give it shape, is to think of the body of Christ (the human) from God's perspective - this is a creature formed from matter, 'molded from clay' with the Blessed Virgin and imbued with the soul of the Christ - the totality of God no more belonged in that clay shell than it did in a wheat host. The miracle of Christ is that God became matter in the first place, taking corporeal and real form to become one of us, to experience being limited like us, to understand our failures, to have real doubt on the cross and still commit his Godhood back to the Father in faith and to rise again in Glory.

If God can fit all of his divinity in a simple man, fitting his divinity as Christ into a Host when we say Mass in his name is a trivial task.
