It’s truly bizarre! Catholics post threads about sex and contraception then accuse non Catholics of being obsessed with sex. They demand scriptural support for our views but deny they need them for theirs. They condemn homosexuality but harbor and protect homosexual clergy. They call non Catholics heretics but administer the “Eucharist” to those who legalize and fight for abortion and give them full Catholic honors at funerals. They hold themselves up as the model for Christianity and then wonder why non believers think Christians are hypocritical.
...and THEN, to put the cherry on the pawn sundae, narses pulls out the only Scripture she THINKS she understands: MANNA in the desert. A POWERHOUSE of biblical knowledge. AND family planning. lol!
1 Timothy 4:1-5 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
I’ve yet to figure out the problem Catholics and the Catholic church has with sex.
They forbid their priests to marry and if they choose to, they have to quite being a priest and I know because it happened in my family.
Not only that, they hold up celibacy and virginity as the highest ideal lifestyle for humankind to attain.
God said, *It is NOT good for man to be alone.*.
Seems that part is pretty regularly overlooked.
Not to mention that He blessed the one flesh union BEFORE He commanded them to go and be fruitful and multiply.
Now, maybe Eve knew when she could get pregnant, but if God commanded them to be fruitful and multiply, and Eve did not conceive often, the Adam and Eve would have had to have sex pretty regularly and ofter to catch that time.
IOW, after giving man and women a strong sex drive, He encouraged them to have it.
I can just see how many Catholic fuses THAT would short circuit.
