Simple question, have you called someone or something adorable?

The word means worthy of adoration.
 
I think most of us have. Like when we see a new born baby and say,“Oh he is just adorable”.

I don’t at any time think any of us mean any disrespect towards God, nor do we think that this new baby is ‘adorable’ in the same way that we Know our Lord is.
 
So far, it has different meanings is the winning position.

I wonder why this word can have a sinful meaning and an innocent one when so many others that DO have multiple meanings cannot.
 
Yeah, I figured this was a trap. I assume this thread is going to devolve into a huge discussion on adoration and how Catholics worship people or inanimate things? Or maybe into a big old debate about the First Commandment? Who knows, the anti-Catholics on this site are crazy!
 
My cat is adorable.
Now that I think about it, cats in general are adorable.

Cloris Leachman can’t really dance, but seeing her 82 year old self give it a whirl on Dancing with The Stars was pretty darn adorable tonight.

I assume that all of this has just placed me on somebody’s list of 😉 People With Religious Dysfunction.🤷

:coffeeread: I*** think*** I can learn to live with it…:rotfl: :rotfl:

Thank you.

So it is both religious language and love language.

Does this bother anyone? Can we tell someone that we love them with all our hearts and still love God with all our hearts?

I think that God, in his great wisdom, created us with hearts that can love beyond what we can understand:heart:
