| Quote (socle @ June 19 2011,21:02) | StephenB:
| Quote | As God, He cannot suffer; as man, He can and did, and continues to do so through His mystical Body, the Church. Hence, when St Paul killed His disciples, He said,“Why do you persecute me?” At the end of time, Christ will stop suffering in his mystical body.

Any Protestant UDer's going to take the bait?
cont'd, in which StephenB demonstrates that he knows more about God than God does:
| Quote | | If God could suffer as God, He would be trapped in it just as his fallen creatures are trapped in it. The Divine judge would have been put in Hell by His own creatures. God loves, but He does not change emotional states, becoming angry one day, sad the next day, and happy the Day after. God, as God, is perfectly, eternally blissfully happy. If it were otherwise, there would be no hope for us since He could hardly take us to a state higher than He is, unless you think that everyone in heaven is happy and immune from suffering except God. |

I don't think StephenB's quite got it yet. He needs to study the words of the prophets, such as:
| Quote | | ...And the bezan shall be huge and black, and the eyes thereof red with the blood of living creatures, and the whore of Babylon shall ride forth on a three-headed serpent, and throughout the lands, there'll be a great rubbing of parts. |
Yeah, though I walk through the Valley of O'Leary, the words of Saint Montague of Python shall be my sword and the Holy Book of Brian shall be my buckler against which the most complex and specified of information shall break in sunder and all IDenizens shall be cast down in most uncommon descent!
See? A bit more fire and brimstone, that's how it's done.
