Re: "God in life and nature but not in the Godhead"
With all the hate and disparaging remarks for the Catholic Church from LSM, what is nteresting, that I find myself reading almost the very same beliefs found in their teachings. Here is a quote from the Catholic Church, so one can just compare this to the writings of LSM, and it’s almost word for word:
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states in paragraph 460,
“The Word became flesh to make us “partakers of the divine nature”: “For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God.” “For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.” “The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods.”
Just for clarification, I don’t think that Catholic Church teaches any Biblically sound theology, although the terminology they use sounds very close to that of Biblical Christianity.
