krissylou Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Vee, what does it mean to be created in the "image and likeness of God." I think, and I could be wrong, but I think Aquinas tied that in to our capacites to be rational. (He distinguished between the image and likeness and thought that we lost the likeness of God in the fall but kept the image. Or maybe the reverse. Anyway, whichever one he thought we kept, I'm pretty sure that meant rationality.) That would mean that the image of God is less present in, say, the intellectually disabled (Down Syndrome and the like) than it is in other people. Clearly an unacceptable result, especially in light of Evangelium Vitae. Some people say that God is love, and being in the image of God means that we give and receive love. Henri Nouwen talks this way, especially after he moved to Daybreak. But what do we do with centuries that talk about Rationality as the defining characteristic of humanity. (Anyone else can chime in too!) Also, vee, why do I have So Gosh Darn Many church meetings??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Vee, I just had ANOTHER church meeting added to the calendar. For Sunday morning. This makes it six churchy things within seven days. Seven churchy things within eight days if you count oh "going to church" last Sunday. Why do I go to a church with all these meetings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
