First, my husband wants me to clarify that Eve's fault was pride, not concupiscence. Concupiscence only happened after the fall. (I posted this because he was very adiment about the terminology)
Second to clarify, the fall of man doesn't only lie with the responsibility of Eve, if Adam had not joined her, the fall would not have happened. Each of the sexes has their part to play.
Third, yes conversion is the key. But the only person one can truly convert is oneself. I guess I just get so frustrated with the discussions on CathInfo, because we don't know who are reading these posts and what if we push more people away, then inspire people to become Catholic.
I probably missed your point again, and I am sorry. I think the answer is simple. Do the duty God expects of you. Use the Sacraments to bring yourself closer to God and all the rest will follow. We can't force others, but we can control ourselves.
Yes, you did miss the point again. Not only that, but you also have a problem with reading what I wrote and are misinterpreting. The point is that which I have bolded (below). It couldn’t be simpler.
Gray, I am very careful with my wording, and said nothing about “Eve’s concupiscence”. Do you see how you have twisted what I wrote?
Of course you are right that Eve’s rebellion is an act of pride. Believing “you shall be as Gods” is of course deadly pride.
Regarding the blue print, why not leave it in God’s hands? CI performs a great service. Be grateful rather than frustrated.
You are not responding to the points I made.
I repeat, it has nothing to do with modernity. It has to do with human concupiscence.
Paul to the Romans was quoted but he needs to be studied in full.
If we go back to the start we find that our first Mother, Eve, did not submit to her Creator’s only prohibition and went ahead to do her own will rather than her Creator’s.
No women will not give up their feminist power (without conversion).
