Spuckets, I think you missed the part about the Holy Spirit being the "Lord and Giver of Life."

That's why we recognize these basic realities:

These are truths of the Judeo-Christian faith and realities of the Universe. Nothing's more basic than that.

"# Human Life is Sacred. ...as a direct consequence, since it is made by the Divine Creator (in the case of the human soul, each one DIRECTLY and INDIVIDUALLY created) in the image and likeness of God."

" # Sex is Sacred. Yes. Human sexual union is sacred, because sex is where life comes from. That means, in cooperation with God. God is the Primary Cause, the parent's sexual union is the Secondary Cause."

The parent's sexual union is the primary cause. There need not be any cooperation with God at all, nor does God cause the sexual union. That image of God is complete and just as God can create life, so too can man.

"I think you missed the part about the Holy Spirit being the "Lord and Giver of Life.""

I did not. The life referred to is eternal life.

"in the case of the human soul, each one DIRECTLY and INDIVIDUALLY created"

What is a soul exactly?

•God is Sacred. In the total and non-contingent sense.

•Human Life is Sacred. ...as a direct consequence, since it is made by the Divine Creator (in the case of the human soul, each one DIRECTLY and INDIVIDUALLY created) in the image and likeness of God.

• Sex is Sacred. Yes. Human sexual union is sacred, because sex is where life comes from. That means, in cooperation with God. God is the Primary Cause, the parent’s sexual union is the Secondary Cause.

These are truths of the Judeo-Christian faith and realities of the Universe. Nothing’s more basic than that.


That’s about the size of it. Nothing left to say.
