Good For You, Pope.

[Balloon guy 158]

Lois, you don't serve God. You believe in God.

Made me think of "To Serve Man"Which has no context here and doesn't fit, but it was a really good Twilight Zone episode.Are you saying Lois doesn't serve God, or nobody serve's God?

[Loismustdie 0]

Lois, you don't serve God. You believe in God.

Is anybody paying attention? I have said that I don't agree with it but can find no way around it biblically. Me, personally, my wife uses the pill because I like that level of control. That doesn't mean that I would say it's right- alot of the things I do are wrong, and in the end if I don't change I will pay for it.

LOLisn't the spilling seed thing about masturbating for pleasure? Isn't that what it's about? When you cum in a cup with the express purpose of reproducing..."React to this type of teaching" El oh El.

Where does your mind have to go to physically make that happen? What do they keep in the little rooms, porn or reproductive magazines? Think it through. The ends does not justify the means, at least not biblically, and once again BIBLICALLY when a CHRISTIAN comes to a crossroads where one must choose a path that God would have an done that they would create they are SUPPOSED to choose the path created by god, when choosing ones own path would cause one to sin. Simple as that, devastatingly simple as that.

I serve God in my own way, that one day will hopefully be much more, when I am ready, God willing he give me time to be. It's a thin line.

1) Not for christians.. really.

Bacon and lobster are just so good - let's just pretend God didn't say anything about that one, eh?

[brvheart 1,752]

Not often I can agree with anything the pope has to say, but this is largely spot on:

I didn't click your link, but I was talking with my pastor the other day... (he is not a big fan of Catholics).. and I mentioned that while historically the Pope is an idiot, that this particular Pope seems very good and maybe even saved. I think this pope would say publicly that Jesus is the only path to salvation. (I don't think any pope in the last 50 years would say that).I'll click your link sometime. Thanks.

[brvheart 1,752]

I beg you to change your signature.Not only is it just ....annoying.... it's crooked! Their is nothing religious about my request... just the colors and the stupid monkey.... AND IT'S CROOKED!Willing to pay...... small amount.OR...I could get you tickets to a Rangers game WHO by the way..are the best team in baseball right now. Won 9 out of the last 11 and 5 in a row. Didn't give up a run for 34 straight innings...so.... just think about it.

You idiot. I didn't notice this before and now it's going to actually bug the crap out of me.

Lois, you don't serve God. You believe in God.

ouch.

[Ouch-8s 4]

ouch.

i'm not god, but i'm honoured you'd get confused.

Ummm, as one who has recently experienced the cup thing twice in the last 6 weeks, there was no enjoyment at all and I hated doing it. Guess I should have since now I am going to hell.

This one act wouldn't now make you go to hell. If you are going to hell now, then you already were. No sin can enter heaven. So anyone who has sinned cannot enter. Everyone has sinned. So one one, apart from God's grace, can enter heaven. (according to the Bible)

Pretty degrading, isn't it? Takes all the beauty out of childbirth. The act is probably the smallest reason why. He wanted to argue over minutia which I am always glad to oblige.

It would if it was his first sin, and then he died five minutes later never coming to Christ. That would suck, but technically it's true. (according to the bible.)

[brvheart 1,752]

There is so much wrong with this I don't know where to start. Why have medicine and doctors at all.... and, you have taken it to far. Easy to see how that can happen, isn't it? Talk about being grounded in folly. The only reason you need condoms to prevent aids in the first place is because of the sin of indiscriminate sex. I agree that this is a crazy world where things have had to be invented because we as a race can't seem to get our shit together and live right... so these tools should be allowed by the church to inhibit what God created? On what grounds? Because it's convenient? It's not a good enough reason. As far as reproductive medicine goes, it's about what needs to be done to get from point A to point B, starting with the man ejaculating into a cup, which is a big no no biblically. The one time where a man "spilled his seed" God was not a happy camper. When it comes to medicine the bible does talk about medicine, using things to make the body feel better. There is no example of just prayer to make one feel better. Thats taking it to far. True statement- never in my entire life have I seen anybody react like this to this type of teaching in the christian world. They see things through different eyes, which is why I posted this link in the first place, I was surprised that the pope got something right for a change. Did you even read the article? His reasoning is actually solid- it totally blew me away. Truth is I don't see the value in making that a public opinion, though, because very few people can actually think in these terms- if anything he will only alienate people that wouldn't have been. People need time to develop that level of growth and trust in God.

You should read that section of the Bible again. The reason God was mad was because he had told the man to get some woman pregnant and instead he pulled out. It really had nothing to do with what you are implying. It was his rebellion that pissed off God.It's in Genesis 386 In the course of time, Judah arranged for his firstborn son, Er, to marry a young woman named Tamar. 7 But Er was a wicked man in the Lord’s sight, so the Lord took his life. 8 Then Judah said to Er’s brother Onan, “Go and marry Tamar, as our law requires of the brother of a man who has died. You must produce an heir for your brother.” 9 But Onan was not willing to have a child who would not be his own heir. So whenever he had intercourse with his brother’s wife, he spilled the semen on the ground. This prevented her from having a child who would belong to his brother. 10 But the Lord considered it evil for Onan to deny a child to his dead brother. So the Lord took Onan’s life, too.It's pretty obviously not saying that "spilling your seed" was the sin. Also in a fertility clinic why could you not have your wife in the room with you... I don't think that would be a problem with anyone there, if you were worried about donating being sinful.

Or you could jerk off thinking about your wife. Heaven forbid someone masturbate about their significant other.

This would be perfectly acceptable, but how many people in fertility clinic do this?

the first time I was in there my wife was with me so is that okay?

You have to understand I am not thinking like the average person would- when you serve God it's a whole new level. Average people don't take it to that next level, which is sometimes ignoring ones self for the greater good. So, in that certain scenario you addressed, for a god fearing person the answer is to adopt, and it's the greatest answer. This couple, for whatever reason, cannot naturally have children, they must do X and X to try and coax the situation along outside of the body, use a surrogate, etc., but it's not how nature(God intended) So, what a christian does is accept and move on. Find a child to love as your own. Remember, for a christian it's supposed to be about what God wants, not you. Like I said before, I have issues with this as well but I dont see any way around it for a christian.

Meh, I was bored and trolling around and only got this far.How is it that you know God? Internet? Phone? Fax?How do you know what he wants, intends, thinks. Er, wait, does he think? He probably doesn't have to since he already knows, right?

[brvheart 1,752]

I think that's awesome. God does also. (according to the Bible)

Take a wild guess. (Hint:You can get one for free thanks to the Gideons.)

Trying to think of a TZ episode equal to that one... Maybe Time Enough at Last or Nightmare at 20000 Feet would be close, but there aren't any that are clearly superior to "To Serve man". It's the bar. (I DL's the entire series and watch them all the time)

I love when Sci-Fi does a whole weekend. I just tivo them all up and watch them when I can.
