And now its bringing back everyone together. Sucks to know, after all this time even beloved Dawkins prefers to live in such society. A gift that keeps giving.

Leaking bags of sea water, searching for meaning.

huh...

Read about theosis. Since Christ is both God and human in nature, therefore the soul and the human body should become sanctified.

Completely wrong!! 😂😂 That is Manichaeism... Christianity fought that heresy... That is the great issue on protestantism... it brought a lot of ancient heresies back!!

"For the corruptible body presses down the soul, and the earthly tabernacle weighs down the mind that muses upon many things." Augustine, City of God

@@elylassman You are not reading Augustine right! When Augustine says that, as much as St. Paul, he's refering to everything that men put in front of God's work/project. "Our heart is restless until it rests in you" Your soul can only be fulfilled by God. You should not try to fulfill your soul with earthly pleasures. As they are finite. Eternal goods for the eternal soul. Perishable goods for the perishable body. That is what is meant. Not that material world is bad but that men should order will, body and soul to God.

​@@estevaoosoriodearagaogomes9753 I think we are reading and interpreting Augustine in the same manner, but are disagreeing on whether the notion of "eternal" soul poses a conflict to a "perishable" body-or whether our "higher" nature is at war with our "lower" nature. I do not accept this division, Augustine does.

@@elylassman It seems, pretty clear, that you are not an Orthodox/Catholic Christian. You, obviously, cannot understand what St. Augustine is writing. Trying to understand St. Paul, St. Augustine or St. Thomas Aquinas without Christian knowledge/faith on Resurrected Christ, Eucharist or Body Resurection is like trying to read any book without its proper glossary.
