Hi Marvin,
No worries. Listen…. ICorinthians 13:11.. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things…
Marvin, I understand somewhat… I was abused as a child as well, and we learn to look at life through that lens, because that’s all we know, but that doesn’t make it the truth.
Then we learn through experience that there are other ways to look at life. We are all born in God, and we spend all of our life trying to get back to God. And I found God in the Catholic Church. I was born Proestant, and tried Buddhism, Judaism, Wicca, and many other philosophies. I have come to believe there is a right and a wrong, a certain way we are called to do things. The Catholic Church, with all of its faults throughout history, teaches the 10 commandments are the true way to live life, along with Christ’s teachings that the only way we can obey the commandments is through love, loving God, and loving our neighbor.
Of course we know that one of the commandments is thou shall not kill, which has come to be interpreted as thou shall ot murder. Abortion is murder, because we know that a person is a human being from the moment of conception…
“I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made….My substance was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, and intricately wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance yet being unformed; and in thy book all my members were written, which were fashioned when as yet there were none of them. How preciouis also are thy thoughts unto me, O God, how great is the sum of them…” Psalm 139:14-17
God bless you, Marvin, in all that you do, and I’m happy to be your friend, whenever you want to talk and challenge me..
