regards on marriage, sex, relationships...of the Catholic Chruchgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Catholic : One Thread |
i've red here many posts on the site and i got an image of what a relationship between 2 people means to you catholicsi was shocked when i red these things,...so much that i even decided to post here
first of all,
you can't have sex when you're not married
i'm not promoting one night stands,slutty behaviour,prostitution or i don't know what else...
but i mean,have you never heard that 2 people can really really love each other without being married?
or sometimes just can't get married even if they would like to(for example if they're younger than 18)
i mean how can you have a true complete relationship without any intimacy?
so all that couples can do is just hug and kiss?
and if they want to get closer to each other they have to get married?
sorry but i think this is sick
so to continue,if you want a real intimate relationship,you have to get married,and when you're married when you're having sex 'you must leave the possibility open to have a child'
i mean what is wrong with sex when you love each other???,why should you immediately want to have a child?those are 2 separate things,why are you like this???is this love for your fellow man to command and decide someone's fate by judging what is sinfull and what not
you're saying that artificial contraceptives are wrong,and nfp is right?
why? because it isn't 'artificial'?
it's the same thing!
it's avoiding to have a child
does it really matter if you wear a condom or you plan when to have sex and not to get pregnant?
i don't think so...
i think your church should stop giving sex a 'bad' image and maybe realize that the meaning of sex is in the first place something between two people that love each other and then later if THEY want to create a new life;sex is not because of reproduction,i mean we aren't animals right?
-- robert (tulenedoispasconnaitre@hotmail.com), December 12, 2004
You said,"sex is not because of reproduction,i mean we aren't animals right?" First of all, sex is about reproduction, that's what God meant when He said in Genesis, "be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it" it is because we aren't animals that we are called to celebacy outside of marriage. If two people love each other so much, then what would be their reservations on getting married? I seriously doubt someone under 18 would TRULY know what love is. I know from experience, I am 18 and I still have a lot to learn about love. Think about if an unmarried couple had a child. Do you think it would be fair to that child for him to know that his parents don't even have a relationship? That at any moment daddy could just get up and leave, and never come back? A couple should commit themselves in marriage before they commit themselves to each other in sex."i think your church should stop giving sex a 'bad' image"
On the contrary, it is people like you who say it's ok to have sex with anyone you want that give sex a bad image. Don't you see how cheap and meaningless it is when you give yourself outside of marriage? What does marriage mean to you if not giving yourself openly and fully? You cannot give yourself fully to your spouse if you have sex with others. You then make no distinction between your spouse and others, therefore invalidating marriage.
"so to continue,if you want a real intimate relationship,you have to get married,and when you're married when you're having sex 'you must leave the possibility open to have a child'"
Now you're getting it! And in conclusion, I'll leave you with this quote from Genesis 38:9-10 "Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother's wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother. But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the LORD; so He took his life also." The man Onan's brother died, and he followed Jewish custom and took his sister in law as his own wife. But he wasted his seed upon the ground, and was struck dead. You see, sexuality is a gift from God, it is a beautiful thing. You are literally throwing away that gift when you use a condom, or any other contraceptive. It is you, sir, who is cheapening sex, a beautiful gift from God.

""You cannot give yourself fully to your spouse if you have sex with others. You then make no distinction between your spouse and others""when and where did i ever mention something like that??
-- robert (....@....com), December 12, 2004.
You didn't. But it's obvious from your message that you feel that way. My point is that sex should be the pinnacle of your love for someone. You're right, it is for people who love each other, but it should be for the person you love THE MOST, who should be your spouse. It's not for anyone who loves somebody else. Sex is the most beautiful and intimate thing anyone can do, and it sickens me that people think it's ok to be promiscious.
-- Cameron (shaolin__phoenix@hotmail.com), December 12, 2004.
Sorry, I meant to say, "that you DON'T feel that way"

i've red here many posts on the site and i got an image of what a relationship between 2 people means to you catholics{No you didnt. what tyoy mwan is "Sexual relationship". I have several relationships with numerous people, nien arre sexual...relationship doesnt mean sex.}-Zarove
i was shocked when i red these things,...so much that i even decided to post here
{Shocked? I doibt it, what ou mean is that you want to feingh utrage so you can present yourself as an enlightened soil fighitng evil, imbittered Catholcis who don bother to look a tthe real world so gyou can feel superior. The entire tone of this post is condecneding and places its author in pseudi-superiority byt he manner of which he makes demands. However, the author has no clue as o the real world applications.}-Zarove
first of all,
you can't have sex when you're not married
{Thats common in most cultures lad. even in communist Cia this is he Ideal... its also the best system for Humans and one of the most obvious...}-Zarove
i'm not promoting one night stands,slutty behaviour,prostitution or i don't know what else...
{Yes, you are, you just dotn relaise it, sinc your "Wise and mature" veiw of sex will inevitabely lead to slutty behaviour because peopel will learn to disvalue sex. By placign a higher vlaue on sex we make it more valuable...}-Zarove
but i mean,have you never heard that 2 people can really really love each other without being married?
{Yes, however, what your describign is nto love but wanton lust. If I truely love soemone, it need not be expressed sexually. Indeed, some of the most profound expressions of love are NOT sexual. he troubel is you thinkSex IS love, and they go hand-in-hand, which is utterly absurd.}-Zarove
or sometimes just can't get married even if they would like to(for example if they're younger than 18)
{You know, there is a logical reason why societyplaces these restaints on people. ( In many sttae sin the US its 16, by the way, and in soem countrus its as low as 12...)
People that are too young do not know the difference between love, lust, and freindship, and are confused easily. Oftent hey think ther ein love when there not. If they ave sex, as you advocate here, becase ther in love, they may love to regret the actions in the fututre. this is esepcially true of women. How many girls are tricked each year by boys who proffess an undying love for the girl, give in, have sex, then he dumps hem and makes them feel cheap and degraded? Teenage girls, and boiys for that matter, lack the maturity to make wise desisions, and shoudl not, as a atural co sequence, have sex, since they wont be able to deal withhte inevitable emotional consequences. I know, Ive seen too many girls destoryed by sex when in there teen eyars, and they easier to get in the sack. Do you relaly think its better to let them have sex and ruin there lives, grow up feelign cheap with low self esteem, and fal into depresion as is the case 90% of the time, than to teach them to delay gratificaiton for greater fullfillment?}-Zarove
i mean how can you have a true complete relationship without any intimacy?
{Intimacy isnt sex. The two words arent complete. And agi, are teenagers relaly mature enough to have a complete romantic relationship? You may argue yes, but the reality has demonstrated itme and again that teenagers make bad choices base don inexpwirence. Sex isnt somehtign there ready for, and only a fool woidl advocate allowign them tis to " Buold there relationships". Usually it destorys there realtionships and leaves them broken and misurable,, feeligns htey carry over to adulthood. }-Zarove
so all that couples can do is just hug and kiss?
{And whats worng with delayign gratificaiton until one is in a stable marriage? study after study show that those who waited for marriage on average have more satisfyign sex lives, are geenrlaly hapier, less depressed,a nd have higher self esteem and higher value and respect for others. Why throw all that way for "Intimacy" as you call it, whihc is relaly sex befroe there ready? Have you even heard o the term "Delay of Gratification"?}-Zarove
and if they want to get closer to each other they have to get married?
{Sex often doesnt make them closer. it often destorys the relaitonship outright, and causes friction. especially sicne ther eis a chemical bond hat takes place. They dotn live togather but want ot be nearer each other. The boy often jujst used sex for his own purposes and discards the woman who now feels abandoned anfd alone. Even if they think ther ein love ( and often theyt hink this and are mistaken) sex often shifts there emotiisn so much they endup breakign up. It doesnt make you closer, you make yourself closer by emotional skills and communicaiton, nit hy sex. sex doesnt finalise a relaitonship, it merely is a fncton that, optimally, woidl be delayed tll aintimacy is alrrayd established and there already close.}-Zarove
sorry but i think this is sick
{You think delayed graitfication is sick? IUts a basic lesson all successful adlts must learn. You think its sick to protect teens form the damage caused by early sex that can spill over to lifelong emotional struggles? Why is it sick? Becase you have an unrelaistic veiw of the world in swhich sex makes a couple closer and no bad ever happens? You are beign unrelaistic and consgnign many suls to a misurable liver and call us sick?}-Zarove
so to continue,if you want a real intimate relationship,you have to get married,and when you're married when you're having sex 'you must leave the possibility open to have a child'
{ Not beign Cahtolic, the last part I am neutral on. However, you are confusing sex with intimacy. Often peopel have sex and arent intimate, emotionally or mntally. Sex doesnt create relational intimacy and dosnt nessisarily make a couple draw closer. One can have intimate friends, and not have sex. Or are you not mature and reasonable enough to see this?}-Zarove
i mean what is wrong with sex when you love each other???,
{If you love each other, why not get married? If too young, why not wait? again, the term "Delay of gratification" coems into play. By delayign sex you create a greater sex life, by dign it instantly you create a cycle of compulsive behaviours and cheapen sex and ruin your chances for a completle fulfilling sex life.}-Zarove
why should you immediately want to have a child?
{Not all couples do, thats a wholly different topic than what Im addressing though, and shoudl b properly induced to Birth Controle thrreads, so Im skipping it here.}-Zarove
those are 2 separate things,why are you like this???
{Its politilaly correc tto say sex and repordiction are seperate. This jusifies both casual sex and Homosexuality. Sex is for pelasure and "Creeatign intimacy within a relaitonshiP". However, as poitned out, sex often happens without muhc real intimacy, and , as noted alreayd, Biology tells us sex is designed for reporduction first-and- foremost. Its not the way we are beign, tis the way our bodies are designed and our recognition of the fact. Your refusal to acknowledge the facts of Biology do not mak hem go away.}-Zarove
is this love for your fellow man to command and decide someone's fate by judging what is sinfull and what not
{We do not judgr what is and is not sinful, God does. God has alreayd told us what is and isn sinful. If I had my way, some sins wodl nto be sins. However, I didnt design the world.
Sin is sin precicely because it causes damage to ourselves and society. We have seen the damage caused by open sex lives as you advocate. Teen pregnancies, marriages and divorces, promiscuity, and depression, ahave all been the ruits of "Lets have sex withou beign lmarried becase we're in love". Love fades and lust replaces it and its leapign form partner to partner. That has become our society. The consequences are depresison, aggressio, hostility, anger, resentment, and out-of-wedlock children, even if protecton was used, that grow up feelign unwanted and out of place, illegitimate if you will. It creates pain and suffering, and yet you want ot claim we cause pain and sufwrign by pointing this out.
Relaly, you woidl condemn society for your own petty lusts, and condemn us all to a world with no hope where the best we have is second best.}-Zarove
you're saying that artificial contraceptives are wrong,and nfp is right?
{Again, thats a seperate issue form sex in general, and I shall allow others to address it, or address it in another thread.}-Zarove
why? because it isn't 'artificial'?
{See above...}-Zarove
it's the same thing!
{No, itsnot,. One uses an artificial mean to simulate sterility, whle the other uses natural body rhythmes... but I shant dally on details.}-Zarove
it's avoiding to have a child
{But its avoiding using the Bodies own nature, and not usign an artificial mean to generate sterility. Btu I digress since I shant go into too much detail...}-Zarove
does it really matter if you wear a condom or you plan when to have sex and not to get pregnant?
{Yes.}-Zarove
i don't think so...
{what you think ha been shown to be irrelevsant, sicne you do ut any thought into anyhtign at all. All you relaly do is decide what is an is right based upon your own desires, then launc into a tirade tryig to justify them. You came to the conclusion that sex outside of amrriage and with underage persons is OK, and hten try to argue for it without even so much as looking a the arugments againt and weighting them. Even now I can see I will likely be talkign to a brick wall, you wont listen to anyone who posts here. You have decreed what i and isnt truth and dont need ot listen. what you say doesnt even have to mesh withrelaity. Ignore he onseqences and keep pontificating.}-Zarove
i think your church should stop giving sex a 'bad' image and maybe realize that the meaning of sex is in the first place something between two people that love each other and then later if THEY want to create a new life;sex is not because of reproduction,i mean we aren't animals right?
{Actually, we are Animals. Boht sicnece and the Bibel say so. Biology classes Humasn as Homo Sapians. Primates, Of the Mammalains. Vertibrata. Animalia. The Book fo ecclesiasties says this in Chapter 3.
18. I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 19. For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 20. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Likewise, se xisnt firts and foremost abotu love. If it wehrre, peoell woidlnt feel compelled to have sex unless they where in love. Rather, many men, and even women, seek sex for physical pelasure as they have become addicted. Sex clealry isnt solely base don love.
Biology tells us we are programmes to reprodice, and the Bibel confirms this. Sex is primarily designed for reproduction, andour sexual ethic merley acts to ensure stability in the rearign of children, and assures us a companion wwith which toi compete our life, its secondary goal. However, it is best to regulate our impulses, as every culture has dscovered over the centuires.
Humanity has existed for 2 million years now, and hte vast overwhelming majority of societies have always eschewed sex outside of marriage. it is only cultures ont he delcine that allow it, an htey usually flal to ruin.
2 million years of Human expeirnce, the Biological sicneces, and relevation form God, all confirm this basic fact that you wish to disregard.}-Zarove

you people make me sickthat's all i can say...
-- robert (tulenedoispasconnaitre@hotmail.com), December 12, 2004.
Then why did you even bother posting here? Do you think you can dissuade someone from the truth, or were you really looking for an answer? We gave you answers to your questions, but you don't seem open to understanding or even listening. You obviously wasted your time here.
-- Cameron (shaolin__phoenix@hotmail.com), December 12, 2004.
Robert says people make him sick. To which one must say; Yes. you're sick. ''i'm not promoting one night stands, slutty behaviour, prostitution or i don't know what else...''In fact, you are promoting all of that, and you're repudiating every marriage in the world. Why doesn't that make US sick?
Tell you why, Robert: You can be helped. Your sickness is not unto death. Yet.
-- eugene c. chavez (loschavez@pacbell.net), December 12, 2004.
So you have no real answer tot he glarign problems with ipen sexuality, and refuse to even acknowledge the statements we make as to why we place limits, and simle say we mak you sick. Yes, when you run out of logic and see yourself as outgunned, you mske emotional disparagies. Won work here laddie.
-- ZAROVE (ZAROFF3@JUNO.COM), December 12, 2004.
Robert is right...Sex should be in the first place something about love and pleasure and NOT reproduction,yes we aren't animals and I don't want sex to be just a cheap trick of nature to keep our stupid race alive,I've found a deeper meaning of it...
And yes there is no difference between NFP and non-hormonal contraceptives;the purpose of both is avoiding to get pregnant in that certain time
All those bad things about pre-marital sex that Zarove mentioned are true in some cases,but this doesn't make a rule
After all love is love and marriage is marriage,many people marry because of different reasons than love($$$caaaaassshhhh$$$) and i really despise this
Marriage is just a concept invented by people to affirme their love to one another and that should bound them forever together,many people nowadays feel that they don't have to marry in front of the church or the state for something like that,after all we don't know what the future brings,people can change you know...,and most marriages end up to a divorce anyway;i think we should come back to reality instead of chasing dreams that probably would just always remain only dreams in this world...

and then you're telling that my kind of people are the ignorant one?
-- one of those that you hate to love (punklives4ever@hotmail.com), December 13, 2004.
Both of you are silly as well as immoral.You weren't born in a litter of dogs, or spawned by a toad. Your own parents may have been unworthy of the title, but they were married. If not they were simply sinners. God is offended by the lifestyles you two have tried to defend. He gave you the soul hat distinguishes a man and woman from dogs.
I love dogs; but would hardly adopt the dog's sexual instincts. Of course they can't marry. Or divorce, either-- and that's fine with God. He made them animals of a lower order. He made me and you to love and serve Him in this life and to be with Him in the life to come. Its not debatable. You can choose not to believe it, but not to contradict God. Those who won't believe are justly damned.
You'll reap only what pleasure the sexual craze will afford you in this life; a passing happiness. They who have obeyed God receive for reward an eternal life of happiness and love.
Not what you called ecstasy, even love, here in the world. Dogs and cats are given that much. They only obey their imprinted circuits, animal instinct. Were both your parents just animals? No.
You must give God His proper place: First. No ''love'' is possible for your immortal soul unless you love God first; more than sex and more than sin. You love sin now. Sin only takes you to damnation and eternal sorrows. You should hear and obey Him while you still have life. Life passes rapidly, your sex alone won't last. Please try to understand.

Robert is right...{hARDLY...}-ZAROVE
Sex should be in the first place something about love and pleasure and NOT reproduction,

what's so bad about bush???? go watch fahrenheit 9/11 and see what 'so bad about bush' you ****** *****
{You want me to base an informed opinion based on propoganda? Really now, Farihheit 9/11 is nothign but Shock media designed to promot a spacific worldveiw, and is not considered a fair and balnced presentaiton. Moore often distors the facts and in some cases invents them for the sake of advancing his own cause. I woudl harldy consider him an unbaised source, and will not take hiw word on things. The only reaosn most do is becuse it supports there "Bush Sucks" attitude.}-Zarove
because it would take at least a whole day to type and prove what there is so bad about bush
{If your soruces are dubious, such as Moore's "Documentary", Farigheit 9-11, then dont bother. I want facts, noit propoganda.}- Zarove
no kerry isn't better,actually he's just 'playing' a ****** opponent all the time while his political program is pretty much the same as bush's(the ****** war in iraq,the war on the ****** 'terrorism'...)
{If this si the case, and if Bush opposes even one evil Kerry sypports, then Bush becomes the logical candidate.
Allow me to present a logic case.
Suppose Bush supports 100 evil things, and 1 good thing.

i can't type here everything so i told you already,go watch fahrenheit 9/11,and think a little about it,there it's all said;also take your ****** time to visit this site:www.votenader.com
{Why woiudl I vote for a third party wiht no chanc of winning? Likewise, isnt Nater a Socialist? All this said, Fahrenhet 9-11 is nothign but cheap propoganda that often gets its facts worng and isnt considered reliable. none of my old Collouges have a high opinion of Moore, and I was once a Jounalist. Beleiv it or not.
Thinkign abothte flm is nohtign btu thinking about the same tired lies peopel tend to tell to get oter peopel removed frmpositions. Its rmenecnt of Hitlers Propoganda, which is Ironic since Bush i so often compared to Hitler, especally by the likes of Moore. Yet hee Moore uses the same tactics as the Nazis and distorts evidence.

9/11 was did by the american governement to scare people so that they support their war on terror,while there is no real threat of terrorist and the governement focusses on stupid things like we can see in the film 9/11 about the mothers milk and the old guy in the gym are a threat of terorism and having 4 lighters and matches on the airplane isn't
{Again, F 9-11 is propogNDA, NOT VALID MATTER FOR DISCUSISON.}-Zarove
with 9/11 they had a reason to invade afghanistan and later iraq,they want to have the oil to control the economy of the world,they needed also a reason to make that partiot act so that they can control everyone in the usa so noone can stop them or their plans
{And The Aleins where in on it, rught? relaly this absurd conspiracy theory is a joke...}-Zarove

we found a deeper meaning to sex than just being tricked by nature to reproduct like akramat said
{No you didnt. You found that sex is recrational, thus makign all members fo the oppsiite sex, and in some cses the same sex, open game for your own gratification. You claim tis baout love, btu 30 years of "Progressive' sexuality reveal the level of poaiun casual sex has geenrated, and have shown nothing but disillusionment and discontendt as a rsault, especially for women who tend to feel used.
By ignorign these facts, yo find nothign but your own conclusion you had arrived at alreayd, and refuse to see thepain geberated by wanton living.
Deeper meanign isnt foudn in hedonism and self gratificaiton, btu in love, and genuine love woidl demand genuine commitment. Marrieage isnt too much ot ask for in sex, since it protectsd al inovled and seals them in a commitment.
You, on the other hand, reduce sex to a mere game, and that to you is deeper meaning.}-Zarove
it's like you go play football and the actual result of it is that you stay in form or loose weight,but the reason why you do it because you just love playing football or you're just bored and have nothing better to do
{Sex sint a game, and ususally ends up in isury if condiucted along the lines yo advocate. You go out and have sex with your girlfriend/boyfirned, break up, feel pained becase f the chemical oind, find anothe, do the same, and repeat it. By thre time you find soemoen tou actually ar ein lvoe with, you cannot form a permement boind with sex since you had to manh other partners,a nd its hard ott hink of yor current partner as a lovijgn spiuce, inseta there a vehicle for yourpleasure and a friend. you treated thers the same way, and are far more likely to divorce.
Sex is also addictive and leaves many feelign degrades.
Yeah lets treat it liek a game we love o play, it gives it such deeper meaning...}-Zarove
that's the same thing with sex,reproduction may be the actual result but the reasons why most people do it are totally different
{The reason they wan tto do it is because they ar ebiologiclaly programmed to do it. They WANT sex because it IS procrerative. This is liek saying they want food not just to sirvve. it is true that poepl eat for pelasure, btu our bodies crave food because without food we die.
Sex is a biological feature, fiurts and foremost, and we have a sexal urge because we are animals that need to reprodice, lie all others. Its plasurable to ensure its done.
In Homo Sapains, its also evovled to the poitn where it serves social cfnciton of keepign a fmaily unit togather. Bu corrupting this urge and having multle partners illicigtely, we damage ouselves and sociuety a a whole.
Why is this "Deeper meaning"?>}-Zarove
-- ZAROVE (ZAROFF3@JUNO.COM), December 19, 2004.
Where your analogy breaks down is that football was not designed by God and given to us with specific binding guidelines for its use. Therefore we are free to approach football any way we wish. Sexual relationships on the other hand come with specific instructions from God Himself, which we can ignore but which we cannot escape. We either live by His word or we reject His word, and in either case we experience the consequences.

One way to overcome your sickness or apparent revulsion to Truth as the Church teaches is to simply obediently embrace [it] and submit to [it] completely.
You are truly opposing your own and others best interests unless you embrace only that from which flows true personal freedom and dignity realistically and authentically understood.
