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 really would like to know.
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?
So you place contraception and divorce in the same category as in vitro fertilization? They are contemporary issues of life which the Bible does not address?
Are you serious?
After all the shredding of non-Catholics over the issue of contraception I've seen Catholics do, how can you even go there?
OK, on what basis then does the Catholic church takes it's position on those issues? If the Bible doesn't address those issues by name, which by the way, it does in the case of divorce, then how does the Catholic church justify it's stand on any of them itself, for example its anti-contraception stand? And I take it then that the Catholic church is fine with in vitro fertilization since it isn't mentioned in Scripture.
