I am unsure of where this comment stems from "I'm curious. Why don't you know what the Bible says? You seem to know what everyone else says." I had a bad feeling of where it would lead to if left unattended. What were you implying? I never made claim to "know what everyone else says". This is projecting thought to page and ultimately sways peoples thinking and opinion. I had no other intention on this thread but to open a meaningful dialogue on a topic which is widely mis-interpreted and not understood.
I did not detect much scrutinizing of the nature of the topic.
I feel your pain.
I am but a man ( of GREAT FAITH) on the other side of the keyboard who can only empathize with your life and circumstance. I am sure your cat's bring you a degree of joy that fills an empty spot in your heart and life. We have all been through so much in this life.
Our thoughts and Prayers go to you and your Husband (I am not speaking for those of you who care not less about who I am)...
The time is at hand that people should be putting aside petty indifferences and focus on topics of GREAT importance.
With love and peace.

I stink at memorizing scripture. I can't even memorize my favorite scriptures. I remember where they are, but never word for word what they say, and yet I can tell you where the OT speaks up against it and then where the NT speaks up against it. If I, who can't remember any verses, know that, it seemed a given others would too.
Because of that, I asked exactly what I meant to ask, why don't you know? It was never some haughty question. I honestly don't understand the RCC's position on it, but you knew that. Just nosiness how you knew what others believed but...
If I don't understand something and don't understand where someone is coming from, I ask. Honest, not good at subtle. Not good at beating around the bush. And really stink at tact. Now you know the difference between me asking a simple question and then going whole hog to go off if someone angers me too long.
At least you don't have to worry about me having some underlying purpose. Sometimes I do, but when I do I let people know that too. I usually call them "trick questions." 'kay?
Are we good?
I really do feel small for attacking you. Can you forgive me?
