Yes. I can't imagine the Lord is pleased with bickering children. Or what at times seems to be our intent to wound each other.
IMHO too many Catholics are unmindful of CCC numbers 817-819, 1267, 1271 (forgot to reference 1271 in my above comment to you). I'm not suggesting that you are. Just that we as a group often are.
Peace be with you.
I think the Lord (who has a sense of humor) is more than pleased that His children are discussing religion. I find these discussions to be extremely entertaining, educational, and thought provoking. I learn a lot, say a lot, and never mean to demean anyone elses ideas nor beliefs. I try to understand where on earth some people come up with their ideas, but respect them nevertheless.
this certainly beats discussion of many things I can think of.....maybe except politics!!..:)
How do y'all think the Lord feels about those who intentionally post provocative threads that wound and START the bickering in the first place? I have pleaded many times to those who repeatedly do this on Free Republic, but it seems to fall on deaf ears (eyes). Perhaps such persons like causing bickering and discord? Maybe if they hear from those in their own camps occasionally, it would sink in. Just a thought.
