You claim to be a member of the Church of Rome...
What do you mean. I don't know what your talking about and have never made such a claim if so post link to post.
...When you go to confession...
I don't "go to confession."
...which sin are you confessing?
One you already said 10 Hail Mary's and 15 Our Father's for, or the new one that you haven't done penance for yet?...
:AMR:
Again, I don't know what your talking about.
...The only difference is that non-Catholics understand that penance is a doctrine of man that is not necessary...
And this is where, you slithering snake, you dishonestly attempt to distract from the veritable and obvious fact that you completely ignored my question completely. With all these word's, surely it must look like I've answered --or at least addressed --the question --so you think! --and you didn't! --you didn't answer it!
Ah well! Maybe you'll answer it later on in the post. If so I'll eat my word's, and I'm O.K. with that, because that will have meant that you indeed did something imaginative and creative and surprising, and I do not expect any of that from you. So either way, I win.
...Are you a moron, or do you honestly believe that two homosexuals are getting "married" in order to live together without having sex with each other?...
Why do you even do internet forum's? Honestly? Your timer say's you've been at this for over 10 year's now? Seriously? How many hour's of you're life have you wasted here.
I shouldn't say that. Its not wasted. Every time I find that I've spent a whole bunch more on a prospect than I originally agreed to early on, when I decided to make the investment in the 1st place, I alway's chalk it up as an investment, the whole thing. Just because an investment doesn't pan out doesn't mean it was a bad decision --investment necessarily involve's prediction --investment involve's the future, an unknowable --fundamentally unknowable thing! Investment therefore sometime's lead's to disaster, beside's it sometime's leading to naught/nothing/nihilo.
The seed's we sow are related in a cause-and-effect relationship to the harvest's we reap. But we still need deep, rich organic soil free from rock's and gravel, we need the bird's kept away until they sprout, and we need worker's for the harvest. Without these thing's our seed's will never find purchase and/or we'll have no harvests.
...No, a divorcee getting married is a valid marriage...
Not according to the Church. And not according to Jesus. Do I have to quote Mark 10:10-12 KJV in its entirety, are you going to make me? I suppose you are . . . .
10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Plain and simple. Cut and dried. Its tough to know what to do with something like this from Jesus. I know people who are remarried divorcee's. What am I supposed to think of them. Do they believe in Jesus? Should they divorce? Would another divorce be better than them being invalidly married and in a continual state of adultery?
Thats a tough 1. The pope's, for there part, counsel, of all the potential option's, that the couple live in continence. Thats the moral thing, the right thing, and the recommended thing, and therefore whenever the couple come's together conjugally they sin again. For these, this teaching is harsh. Damning. What have they got themselve's into. They have to live as roommate's, friend's without benefit's, just as two celibate people.
If two men or two women got legally married and were celibate, is they're a sin their somewhere? Can you point it out?
Anyway, that worked out well, thank's for making me quote the whole thing. Did I point out how Jesus had earlier talked about marriage and divorce? He compared divorce to separating a mixture, like a baker mixing together ingredient's, and then us performing filtration and applying separations technology to break apart the mixture back to the original ingredient's again. Later on, in order to clarify what He was teaching, He say's that divorcing and then remarrying is adultery, plain and simple, cut and dried.
So all of this is to say, in direct answer to you're "a divorcee getting married is a valid marriage" --Jesus --say's absolutely, definitively, no; your wrong.
And the successor's of Peter
alway's agree with Him. 'D'you know that?
In direct contradiction with our Lord and Savior (Mark 10:11-12 KJV).
...Let's see if you came up with a valid comparison.
A "gay marriage" is two people committing a sin that is explicitly named as a capital offense (death penalty offense) pretending that they are married.
A divorced woman is allowed to remarry without penalty in that same law.
So, your comparison fails.
And which "law" are you saying supersede's Mark 10:11-12 KJV again? The "law" that has more authority and power over our live's than the verbatim word's of Jesus Christ?
Is this where you get to claim that Jesus isn't our Creator in the flesh, so His Word isn't the pinnacle of all authority?
Lets see if you answer anything substantive in my post.
Daniel
