Cat 1999 and 1988 also support this view. I'm new to this. I found out i was debating a fellow Catholic and I didn't know it. I don't know completely whether this is true or not. (sorry I'm a lil on the skeptical side because I've never heard this before).
Fides_et_Ratio Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Yep, it's true! We went over it in my theology class my first semester at college.. I'll see if I can dig up my notes, as they explained it rather well (or so it was at least far more understandable to me!)
phatcatholic Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 yes, very true. [url="http://phorum.phatmass.com/index.php?showtopic=15222"][b]this thread[/b][/url] explains it all
Fides_et_Ratio Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 oh, and it's also in the Scriptures: 2Pe 1:4 By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these [b]you may be made partakers of the divine nature[/b]: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world. I'm not finding my notes, but I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with Christ's humanity... something like by His humanity (and salvific deed), all of humanity is fully restored in the resurrection of the body--we are made perfect, and thus, by a sharing in God's perfection we are made divine. Something like that. Hopefully I'm not too off the mark.

musturde Posted January 8, 2005 Author Posted January 8, 2005 Earlier I talked to Apotheon thinking i was talking to one of my friends (who's anti Catholic since she had a name similar to it hahaha). Thanks a lot all of you (especailly Apotheon for helping me learn more about this).
phatcatholic Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 i wanna be cool like apotheoun one day........

cmotherofpirl Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Ok , but don't confuse this with the mormon notion we all become little Gods and get our own planet.
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 (edited) I'm doing that Bible and Catechism reading plan and I stumbled on this in today's readings: [quote][i]From the Catechism:[/i] [u]51[/u] "It pleased God, in his goodness and wisdom, to reveal himself and to make known the mystery of his will. His will was that men should have access to the Father, through Christ, the Word made flesh, in the Holy Spirit, [b]and thus become sharers in the divine nature[/b]."[/quote] [quote]By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these [b]you may be made partakers of the divine nature[/b]: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world. 2 Peter 1:4[/quote] Edited January 8, 2005 by thedude

[/quote] For more information you can also go to my website and read the threads I wrote on Mary's divinization by grace, because in the first thread I deny any association of the Catholic doctrine of [i]theosis[/i] with the Mormon doctrine of eternal progression.

[/quote] I've always wondered why this idea appealed to Mormon women, since, acording to this view, only male gods get worshipped and female gods spend eternity giving birth. Even my friends who enjoy pregnancy think that's a bit too much to take.
Benedict Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Not to be too insulting but the whole of Mormon theology is rather "stupid" and at times "arrogant". They make God into a man, and man into a god, to remove any mystery, anything that is difficult to comprehend. They reject a lot of the philosophical aspects of theology like substance and the infinite.
franciscanheart Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 whoa. the things you learn on the apo board!
