To sin is to want control of one's destiny in opposition to the will of God, The other articles help us to know God better as he revealed himself progressively to men. Christianity maintains that entry into Heaven awaits such time as, "When the form of this world has passed away."

[20] Among the Scholastics who relied on the classical concept of reason for the development of their doctrines, none were more influential than Saint Thomas Aquinas, who put this concept at the heart of his Natural Law. Monophysitism was rejected as heresy at the Council of Chalcedon in 451, which affirmed that Jesus Christ had two natures (divine and human) joined in one person, in hypostatic union (see Chalcedonian creed). It is also the flock of which God himself foretold that he would be the shepherd, and whose sheep, even though governed by human shepherds, are unfailingly nourished and led by Christ himself, the Good Shepherd and Prince of Shepherds, who gave his life for his sheep.

The Adoptionists taught that Jesus was born fully human, and was adopted as God's Son when John the Baptist baptised him[45] because of the life he lived.

The form of this world, distorted by sin, is passing away, and we are taught that God is preparing a new dwelling and a new earth in which righteousness dwells, in which happiness will fill and surpass all the desires of peace arising in the hearts of men." Man was, for most of the biblical writers, what has been called "a unit of vital power," not a dual creature separable into two distinct parts of unequal importance and value. 947 "Since all the faithful form one body, the good of each is communicated to the others. We must therefore believe that there exists a communion of goods in the Church. 1039 In the presence of Christ, who is Truth itself, the truth of each man's relationship with God will be laid bare.

But we cannot love God if we sin gravely against him, against our neighbor or against ourselves: "He who does not love remains in death. 392, 599 Jesus' violent death was not the result of chance in an unfortunate coincidence of circumstances, but is part of the mystery of God's plan, as St. Peter explains to the Jews of Jerusalem in his first sermon on Pentecost: "This Jesus [was] delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God." 521 The phrase "in accordance with the Scriptures" 522 indicates that Christ's Resurrection fulfilled these predictions. His kingdom grows by the love with which Christ, lifted up on the cross, draws men to himself." 842 The Church's bond with non-Christian religions is in the first place the common origin and end of the human race: 843 The Catholic Church recognizes in other religions that search, among shadows and images, for the God who is unknown yet near since he gives life and breath and all things and wants all men to be saved. 332 This is why every year on the Day of Atonement the children of Israel ask God's forgiveness for their transgressions of the Law. 301 But it also recalls that "it is through many persecutions that we must enter the kingdom of God": 302, 557 "When the days drew near for him to be taken up [Jesus] set his face to go to Jerusalem."

Leo I, Quam laudabiliter (447): DS 284. In the last two centuries, annihilationism has become popular.
