Why should that get conspiracy gears spinning? Honestly, I'm not really sure at what you are hinting, Neil.

Jim:
Thank you for your helpful synopsis of fundamentalist Christianity. Normally I would expect someone who wants to give a synopsis of Christianity to quote the Nicene Creed, Apostle's Creed, or an actual statement of Faith that clearly defines what one believes. Now I know that for any question I might have I will ask the following: 1. Is there a proof text in the Bible? 2. Is the answer contained in the five points of fundamentalism? So, to judge something like "internet addiction is bad" I would have to answer "We simply cannot know. The internet is not in the Bible or a belief of fundamentalism". Got it. Thanks!

You really need to try and articulate an argument rather than defer to some other website constantly. Every one else tries to give their position and it makes things much more interesting and helpful.

I think it may be time to let this thread pass away. I do have some thoughts on the "command" theory that is currently running but I have a feeling that it will resurface in the future.

Michael:
Thank you for you heartfelt plea for me to read the Bible on my own and not listen to the Church of Rome. I do appreciate your sincerity. I'm still unsure as to why it is perceived that I haven't come to certain conclusions reading the Scripture independently. Also, no one knows if I am a Catholic or not here.

I guess my initial comment would be that you can "logically" derive anything from a command that commands two opposites. One could use either general command to support any specific action precisely because you can use a contradiction to prove anything. In other words, what could fall outside of two equal and opposite commands commanding the same thing, that which is good anyway? It seems like command may be too strong a description.

David:
You didn't identify a command. "Let them marry or not marry" is not the same as "Thou shalt not murder". The latter, hopefully agree, is a command. You've merely found scriptural basis for two goods. This still does not solve the problem you think you've identified since you haven't shown that one, in certain contexts, may actually be better than the other and linked to a specific calling. I think Lance would argue, "You've been called to be a priest, so don't marry. If you are called to something else, that option is open to you". That is still consistent with the way you are arguing.

Michael:

It always comes down to the issue of authority it seems. I think you are absolutely right that we have to evaluate the claims of the Catholic Church, or any other church for that matter. This requires us to actually know what those claims are and be honest enough to admit ignorance. I think you would agree that we wouldn't want someone to evaluate Jesus' claims if they didn't know what he claimed. "I heard Jesus said he was a toaster. But no toaster is God. Therefore, Jesus isn't God". Better make sure we get the claims right.

That's because it doesn't look like there is any direct scriptural command how to do it either way.

Either way, there are married males that are allowed to become priests in those traditions. I'm not sure how that helps your point as to when they were married, the point is that they are.

By the way, Peter, that's a cute comment about keystrokes but the only person you know for sure is a Catholic here is Lance. Because of the anonymity of the internet, you could be a Satanist who is merely trying to stifle evangelism by telling the faithful to stop talking to anyone who doesn't agree with them.

FR:

Something tells me you don't have much familiarity with either Eastern Catholics or Orthodox Churches. The Orthodox Churches allow priests to marry just like anyone else. Also, many Eastern (Byzantine Rite) Catholic churches allow priests to marry as well. Lance is right, the point is that it is not "imposed". There are plenty of lay ministries to be done. It comes down to the role one is called to within the church.

How about I Cor. 7:1-3? "It is good for a man not to marry." Paul said that too. I think we need a little more nuanced view on this thread rather than throwing disparate Bible verses at one another. There's even lust among married people that is forbidden in the scripture.

You're not going to like this, but I think we may agree on this issue.

Michael:
I must ask you to slow down and add punctuation as well as check your spelling. This seriously affects my comprehension of your post. "Only to be in the Catholic for about 15 minutes after eating 'him?'" Huh? Perhaps you could distill the last post into a two or three sentence nugget to which I could respond. You may treat me as a Catholic if you wish but, ultimately, you have no idea what I am. I could be the Dalai Lama out on the internet spreading "tolerance", for all that you know.
D:
Something tells me you have never read a Papal Encyclical. What kind of credentials do you want? Try reading something he has actually written and form an opinion from that instead of hearsay.

I have an assignment for each of you: Go out this week and meet one real (not imagined) Catholic. Next, talk with them. Come back on Friday and report what you learned with the group. I think this little exercise might be helpful.

Peter: My guess is that you've never asked anyone else to pray for you even though there is an obvious Biblical precedent. That would be some kind of idolatry or sin in your book, I suppose.

Not so quickly, Peter. Remember, according to your understanding, it is not Lance who chose an impotent saviour. Christ did not chose him. You had no choice in your election and he didn't have any choice in his damnation. Now, aren't we all happy? That sure makes your job easier, Jim. There really won't be any more need in posting all of your pet websites. Lance is damned by the majority here. No amount of url's can save him, nor anyone else for that matter.

Peter,
Now you're just trying to be clever and show Lance is incorrect no matter what he posts. Maybe you could add something of substance next time? You know as well as I do what Lance was saying.

Yes, Faithful Remnant, you must be right. The Pope's stand on issues of contraception, abortion, stem cell research, euthanasia, and the host of life issues are a clear indication of his diabolical dealings with Satan and utter denial of Christ. Those devilish Catholics who stand up for the unborn. How dare they!
