    Akoue,
    Thanks much for that.
    And...
    In my prayers after partaking of the Eucharist at Mass this morning I gave thanks to God for providing to me the ability via the Eucharist to become one with Him.
    Yes I do believe that a person can become God, that is one with God as Jesus mentioned becoming one with the Father.
    Peace and kindness,
    Fred

    In Post #259, Akoue very nicely explained what "deification" is.

    In Post #261 you said --

    To claim that this suggests that man becomes gods or God is a major stretch.
    Akoue did NOT make that claim. Fred did, but Akoue didn't.

    It does not matter. You are not talking definitions, but the opinions of two people. I quoted from the official doctrine of the Roman Catholic denomination.

    That didn't tell me anything. Why did you bother to look that up? It has nothing at all to do with deification as Akoue was using the term. Adam yes, but Akoue, no.

    Again, try reading the posts.

    Akoue responded to Article 460. That was what he first responded to. I explained why in that post where I summarized for you what happened, but despite the fact that you have been pointed to it serveral times, you apparently don't care enough to read what happened.

    You are wasting time when you won't read the posts it has to be explained to you afterward.

    No. YOU have it wrong. I've read it from the get-go. And again and again and again.

    You do not understand deification.

    Then you would not be so confused about what role article 460 had in the discussion.

    You do not understand deification.
    Show me the dictionary definition that you are using.

    You cannot agree with both. Scripture opposes the belief that men become gods and God.

    You have to choose. Scripture says not to exalt man.

    Tj3,
    Please DO NOT try to tell me what I can or can not do.
    I will do as I think best, definitely not what you do.

    Do as you wish Fred. I am just saying that you cannot hold to two different mutually exclusive positions at the same time. It is not me allowing or disallowing - it is reality.
