“Still waiting for a response from GPH and MeganC to this post.”
NYer, Your demand for myself to recognize your post with a response is an act of pride and where your Church identifies pride as a mortal sin you’ll appreciate that I’m not wanting to contribute to your eternal damnation by indulging said sinful pride. If your post warranted a response then the need for one would be self-evident and a less prideful person would be accepting of this determination.
Megan
That was an excellent and well reasoned response.
Dear Megan ... there is nothing prideful about responding to someone's statement, with a question. You posted this statement: Maybe you might want to ask Catholic kids to read the Bible. It’s a radical idea, I know, but still..., and in a sarcastic manner.
Another freeper picked up the theme with his statement: Studying the Bible instead of dull text books would probably work out better. Of course, they’d probably come out not being Catholic though, but that’s fine with Christ., also in a sarcastic manner.
I agreed with you both on the value of children learning the Bible but scripture alone does not address all the contemporary issues that we face in life - or does it? For that reason, I posed this question:
You may have a point! Please show me what the Bible says about in-vitro fertilization, contraception and divorce ... what does it say about two people living together outside of marriage. I'll grant you the graphics in the Baltimore Catechism are dated but the material is current, all of it based on scripture.
You posted your statement at comment #3 and I posed the question on comment #54. It has taken until comment #1118 for you to respond, not with a direct response but as a personal attack. If you don't know where scripture addresses these issues, all you have to do is say so.
