Now, THAT’s IMPRESSIVE!
I only checked eight or ten of those links — every one was YOU setting HIM straight - rightly dividing the Word and refuting error after error.
Rebuking him sharply, that he may be sound in the faith, not devoting himself to Catholic myths and the commands of people who turn away from the truth.
Glory to God for what is good. Saving past responses saves time and energy, esp. with my stiff arthritic typo-fingers, when dealing with repeated assertions and argument,
Well, does it really? I think if we do things *for God’s sake,* or to give Him glory, then yes, it is serving God
Even then, we can still have underlying ulterior motives, but to say that anything anyone does to improve society counts as serving God? I am not sure I agree with that.
What makes being fruitful and multiplying higher than serving God? As we can see, many are F&M without a thought to or about God.
Consider Matthew 19:12: For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Some people are unable to have children, but there are those who decide not to “for the sake of the kingdom of God.” The next sentence indicates that this is a great sacrifice, only some are able to do it.
So I would say that serving God is higher than being fruitful and multiplying.
We agree that not all can "be fruitful and multiply" for all sorts of reasons. For those who can't or don't, perhaps, it is God's way of providing support to those who can "be fruitful and multiply." In any event, if we DO NOT "be fruitful and multiply," then soon there will be no one left to serve God. We will not renew ourselves.
Right?
As a mom of 4, I am a proponent of multiplying 😅😅😅
