stagefairy Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 [quote]GODConquers: This is ridiculous. You've just validated murder! Taking the life of an innocent person is OK because there is no judgement and we have eternal life? This is just plain crazy talk. Actually it was validated for me way before I even got to earth. I will recite the first one again 1. REMEMBER, everyONE has to die; everyONE has to go out of this world in some way. Now if you do not have any problem understanding or agreeing to that first statement the question remains “INSTEAD OF A PERSON BEING MURDERED, HOW AND WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE THEM TO LEAVE THIS PHYSICAL EXISTENCE?” [/quote] Human life is sacred and we don't have the authority to decide who should die and how. God begins life and ends life. Only God has that authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagefairy Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 [quote]But how can the Catholic Church (or any organized religion) PROVE these TRUTHs from a book that was written way before this generation was even around? How can you proove the events of the Bible if you were not there? Wouldn't they become beliefs or at best faiths? Wouldn't it be more realistic to say that the Church is proclaiming beliefs or faiths rather than TRUTHs?[/quote] Have you ever read 'Mere Christianity' by C.S. Lewis? He writes in a very enjoyable style that logically explains everything you are asking about. I would love to discuss the book with you if you ever read it.
