This is the first picture of nun and new mother Roxana Rodriguez.
The 33-year-old woman, a nun with the order of the Little Disciples of Jesus, stunned her mother superior and local church chiefs after giving birth last week to a baby boy which she has called Francis, in honour of the current Pope.
Sister Roxana initially claimed to have no idea that she was pregnant and thought her labour pains were 'stomach cramps' when an ambulance rushed her to hospital in severe pain after being called by fellow nuns when she collapsed at her nunnery.

I think it is because Jesus and Paul believed in it. Paul also said it was BETTER to be celibate - if you can take it.

Luckily not everyone followed this. The Church would have been wiped out by 100 AD
I never said the verse equated to Protestants so there’s nothing to address. If you can’t even get your own point right, how do you expect this to go for you?
Care to try again?
“Care to try again?”
Having gotten it right the first time there’s no need.
First you say it is, but then it isn’t....got it.
“First you say it is, but then it isn’t....got it.”
No. What I said was true, is still true, and will remain true. What I did not say is that the verse equated or did not equate to Protestants - which is what you wanted me to address:
“The sciptur you quoted does not equate to protestants, please address that.”
Read it, in context , and find out what you are talking about.
What I did not say is that the verse equated or did not equate to Protestants
You're kidding right?
I have concluded that the “and can’t get nun” is not applicable in this instance
“You’re kidding right?”
Nope. I was right in what I said: “If you’re a Protestant, you would find it hard to believe because so few Protestants know the Bible. Matthew 19:11-12”
I never equated the verse with Protestants. I never did not equate the verse with Protestants - which is what you wanted me to address: “The sciptur you quoted does not equate to protestants, please address that.”
I never claimed the verse equated to Protestants. I never claimed it didn’t “equate to protestants”. Are you even sure you know what the word “equate” means?

There aren't really very many people in this life left that I'd want anything to do with in eternity. I would like to meet up with and talk with my earthly father again but I was an emotional and financial drain on him and want to right that somehow.
I had this neatest dream not too long ago that I was holding my earthly father's hand and I was a little girl again. We were on some kind of grassy plain, holding hands, and running. All of a sudden we stopped at this perpendicular drop off, no fence or guards but didn't matter. I looked down into kind of a valley with all sorts of smallish buildings. I noticed there weren't any church steeples.
It probably doesn't mean anything and I take a medicine that can mess up dreams but it FELT good and liberating.
I don't want to be anywhere near my ex and his wife and many others. I'm sorry you don't want to be with your dead parents. I had conflicts with mine but my father I have a huge debt; he stuck by me when I might have given up. My mother, years later memories started surfacing and I have to live with the knowledge that I was a nuisance to her and she didn't want me around. She wasn't that way with my younger sister.
I would like to be worthy of meeting up with some of the early Christians, Your post is hard to respond to. Maybe I feel like you. I like this earth just fine; it's the evil people that make life so miserable.
I pray for my dead relatives. I don't think we should hold it against them that their lives didn't have some of the intellectual challenges and interests ours do.
You have to take this with a grain of salt but when I got home from my son's visitation (he died a tragic death I'll never get over) in 2012, I saw all these people at the funeral home in like a twilight zone. I was a little elevated from them and looked down and saw one youngish lady with her hands folded in prayer like she was praying for me. Then it dawned on me that these souls had no Christian faith and were truly lost and earthbound. Don't take anything I say too seriously.

Can you explain what it means then? I found it; it’s Mark 12:23.
I worried about that for years thinking it meant final impenitence, all sorts of things but some Jews were saying Jesus was casting out devils by the power of the devil. IOW attributing to the devil the work of the Holy Spirit.
I think that's one type of blasphemy, evidently the worst.
I have read it - many times. What does 1 Corinthians 7 mean then, in your mind?
1 Corinthians 7 goes on for 40 verses.
In my mind, as I’ve said twice, I suggest reading it before paraphrasing it’s meaning on a discussion board
Contradict yourself all you want, have a good night.
BTW, research what the word Pro teste means.
You are incapable of discourse. I made statements. You rejected them - yet you present no alternative meaning. Additionally, you have not stated specifically which thing I’ve said is wrong. You might as well of just said that I was a poopy-head and left it at that.
Please provide a reputable source for your information.
Types like that are what makes me try to avoid the RForum if possible.. I slip up sometimes ..
Constant broken record that justs keeps scratching itself more (instead of admitting, or even seeing, that they are dead wrong).
It’s refreshing to see them openly be stupid enough to dig themselves deeper (really reminds me a LOT of libs ;^)).
