Transhumanism is a loosely defined movement that has developed gradually over the past two decades Transhumanists hope that by responsible use of science, technology, and other rational means we shall eventually manage to become posthuman, beings with vastly greater capacities than present human beings have

The core of transhumanism is to encourage the use of biotransformative technologies1 in order to “enhance” the human organism, with the ultimate aim being to modify the human organism so radically as to “overcome fundamental human limitations” (Transhumanist FAQ, 2016) and thereby the “human” as such

Transhuman, or trans-human, is the concept of an intermediary form between human and posthuman In other words, a transhuman is a being that resembles a human in most respects but who has powers and abilities beyond those of standard humans

But to be human is to be at the centre of our own universe, to experience life in all its colours and all its potential This is what we want to celebrate with Being Human – the awe of being alive and the thrill of discovering what it means to be us, the greatest wonder in the world

From a sustainable marketing perspective, the fundamental relationship between humans and nature is the ongoing exchange and change of resources, the service nature and humans provide to each other: We tend to consume as if there is an unlimited supply of resources, but we live in a world of non-renewable resources

Homo sapiens

A person (plural people or persons) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility

It is also taught among us that since the fall of Adam all men who are born according to the course of nature are conceived and born in sin Moreover, this inborn sickness and hereditary sin is truly sin and condemns to the eternal wrath of God all those who are not born again through Baptism and the Holy Spirit

Paul told the Roman Christians God would forgive our sins and cover them up (Romans 4:7) When God forgives our sin he puts it out of his mind; he erases it from the pages of time; he forgets it Through Christ, God forgives our sin Because of Christ, God forgets our sin

In the pre-Vatican II Catholic catechism, sins were categorized as “mortal” and “venial” In this definition, a “mortal” sin was one which would prevent someone from entering heaven unless one confessed it before death These categories do not exist in the Orthodox Church

Christian beliefs about life after death are based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ Although physical death still happens, those who believe in Christ and live good lives will be given eternal life in Heaven

Catholics believe in Heaven, Hell, and something called Purgatory that has two purposes: a temporal punishment for sin, and the cleansing from the attachment to sin Purgatory purifies the soul before the soul’s grand entrance into heaven It isn’t considered a spiritual jail or hell with parole

Jesus Christ taught that we each must forgive the sins of others in order to receive forgiveness from our Heavenly Father (Matthew Jesus Christ also taught that he, as the Son of God, had the power to forgive sin (Mark

In both Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, confession, or penance, is a sacrament The power to absolve lies with the priest, who can grant release from the guilt of sin to sinners who are truly contrite, confess their sins, and promise to perform satisfaction to God

Absolution is a traditional theological term for the forgiveness imparted by ordained Christian priests and experienced by Christian penitents It is a universal feature of the historic churches of Christendom, although the theology and the practice of absolution vary between denominations

Although there is no definitive list of sins that require confession to a priesthood leader, “adultery, fornication, other sexual transgressions and deviancies, and sins of a comparable seriousness” are included, as is intentional and repeated use of pornography
