Life / Condoms and the Catholic church in Poland [83]


If I may offer a correction here. Sex in a marriage is a good thing, and the Church teaches it has 2 (not one) purposes. 1. Procreation, as you mentioned. 2. To keep the marriage together, through the union of man and wife.

The use of any for, of artificial birth control (pill, condoms, etc.) is a sin in that a sexual union between a man and wife is an act of just not procreation, but co-Creation with God. Each time artificial birth control is used, the couple is in effect saying they are smarter than God, or are saying they are denying Him in His Creation.

As far as the main topic here, what the Church is teaching in condoms vs. STDs, is those using such may feel safe from STDs, when condoms are only 88% (about, forgot exact number) effective in stopping such, and not 100% as abstinence is.

Glad to hear that, just before Cigna killed that little girl, the wife and I had decided to switch from her employer's Cigna offering, to mine with United Health care. Wont take effect until the 1st of Jan though.

Why not? Afraid of the fullness of Jesus' Truth?

USA, Canada / The 2nd Amendment (USA), the right to own guns [261]

"When people fear the government, there is tyranny, when the government fears the people, that is liberty." (Accredited to either Jefferson or Adams)

This is the whole reason for the 2nd amendment.

Highly admirable. So where does Scripture come from? There is a whole slew of writings that are from the same time, even authors, that didn't make it in to Scripture. What source are you using for them?

We agree, but what I'm asking is how do you know which books, words, etc, are inspired.

Then you may not want to skip the Catholic ones, as it is the Catholic Church that defined what is and what is not inspired, hence compiling and verifying the Bible.

But if not, still have good luck in your travels.

Take your words and change Jesus to Mohammad and Bible to Koran, and there is no difference.

That's why Jesus gave His Catholic Church the power to loose and bind. This is the only major religion with this power, and it is by this power that we know that the Gospel of Luke is inspired by God and the gospel of Judas isn't.

Let me offer some food for thought. You said:


Yes we do. In the Our Father we are taught by Jesus, "Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us" Hence we must do something to be forgiven.


When Jesus started His Catholic Church, He stated that the gates of hell would never prevail against it.

You might want to look these up and pray about them. As it would seem you are being taught something this is not only not of the Bible, but against the words of Jesus.

Hi Martin,

Sorry for slow reply, but I've been busy.

If what you say is the proper interpretation, then what about the power to loose and bind? What about the instructions on a Church hierarchy? What about John 6:53-57? See when you take the whole Bible into account, things look very different.

My God richly Bless you and yours.
