I was wondering if someone would kindly give me the key points as to why the Church is against the ordination of women priests.

Many thanks.

ps. I realized my topic on sex had 1071 hits. That's brilliant. I'm absolutely chuffed at that. Let's see if it can hit the 2000 mark. If it does, i'll donate 50 dollars to charity.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/4056/heaven Sun, 25 Jun 2006 20:30:22 +0000 crazydave 4056@/community/discussions

I tried my best. They're so young, and I want these kids to live a holy life as far as possible.

They're 99% catholic {Christian} so a verse from the Bible would really help [I mean, they'd respect it more]; but where abouts in the Bible does it say its wrong exactly? The problem is is that culture seems to take precedence over the Lord's commandments. If something is culturally acceptable it means it can't be a sin. [Which is obviously not the case]. And what's worse is that the government is no longer a moral institute. Its a politically correct establishment with no personality that doesnt want to offend anyone so long as it gets re-elected.

What I read to them was John 15 or 17: About the True Vine. Where if you obey His commandments, your joy will be complete; and that i wanted them first to experience the joy of abiding in Him, so that they'll know that keeping His commandments has some rewards.

I did a search on "sex" in the bible, but found nothing.

These are school kids, and their teacher really really cares about them enormously. I've never seen such love and care a teacher has for her pupils.

Thanks for any pointers.

God bless u all.

so everyone is talking about this date being the end of the world. In australia, that will be tomorrow. Aren't you just sick of people trying to create new sagas about nothing.

i would love to hear your opinion or even what our priests think of this issue.

Re: 1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Its Kristina123!

This verse was shown to me and then I heard it during the prayer on Pentecost Sunday. Just a couple of questions I wanted to ask in relation to the abovementioned verse and they appear below. Please reply with an answer which will help me to respond to this particular person who bought that verse to my attention.

1. Is the verse merely referring to a womans role in the church or is it implying something else. The person who showed it to me stated that we were to infer from the verse that woman are considered to be inferior.

2. Why is this verse read on Pentecost Sunday? (is it because the apostles were all male???)

Much appreciated

(there was supposed to be a picture of a candle here but it wouldn't let me paste)


NOTICE AT THE END, THE DATE THE CANDLE WAS STARTED.

GONNA GIVE YOU GOOSE BUMPS.

I am not going to be the one who lets it die. I found it believable -- angels have walked beside me all my life--and they still do.

A young university student was home for the summer.

She had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.



She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone.

She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks way.

As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked "God" to keep her safe from harm and danger.



When she reached the alley, which was a shortcut to her house, she decided to take it.

However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as

though he were waiting for her.



She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for "God's" protection.



Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped around her, she felt as though someone was walking with her.

When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there

Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.

She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.

The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him.

She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.

When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.

The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her.

She asked if they would ask the man one question Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her.

When the policeman asked him, he answered, Because she wasn't alone.She had two tall men walking on either side of her."

Moral of the story:

Don't underestimate the power of Prayer!

Gives ya goose bumps, doesn't it!

This is to all of you who mean something to me,

I pray for your happiness.

The Candle Of Love, Hope & Friendship

Is it religion or culture that brinds these disparity.
Should our women have that freedom to emulate the western style.
Today I saw on Euronews about 3dozen men and women ALL NAKED WITHOUT ANY CLOTHING ON BIKES!!!
By western standard this is freedom I suppose.
The woman has become the symbol of all forms of advertisement today, is this right.
What is the place of the woman in the society really?
Should our faith direct us or is it our culture or the whims of other cultures?]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/4012/when-should-you-correct Mon, 12 Jun 2006 06:13:25 +0000 mikeforjesus 4012@/community/discussions https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/3999/what-should-i-do Fri, 09 Jun 2006 15:30:42 +0000 Believer in God 3999@/community/discussions
