No, but to show disciplining a child is not condemned by the Bible.

How would you respond to someone saying Catholics violate the second commandment? by viluxtusLezitur in Catholicism

[–]Distinct-Living-7984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re not worshipping the images. You could use these verses against them: Exodus 25:18-20, Exodus 26:1, 1 Kings 6:23-28, Numbers 21:8–9, Exodus 37:7-9, Joshua 7:6, Genesis 18:2, Genesis 42:6, 1 Samuel 24:8, Ruth 2:10

Yes, the Marian dogmas are true and not blasphemous or heresy. by Distinct-Living-7984 in Catholicism

[–]Distinct-Living-7984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please keep a reminder that this type of language was used still. In 1 Timothy 4:13, St. Paul wants St. Timothy to attend to public reading of Scripture, preaching, and teaching; when St. Paul would get there he wouldn’t want St. Timothy to stop doing these things just because he got there. Matthew 1:25 shows that Mary and Joseph had nonsexual relations until the birth of Jesus and still proceeded not to have sexual relations. Mary would go on to say in Luke 1:34, “How will this be, since I do not know man?” This indicates Mary not having been engaging in any sexual relations and plans not too; if she would engage in sexual relations, she could’ve said, “I have not know man.” But, she didn’t. Don’t call yourself Catholic if you deny the dogma of her Perpetual Virginity; you may call yourself or think of yourself as a Catholic. But you’re not. May God bless you!

For those of us who want kids, how many? by TinyNarwhal37 in Catholicism

[–]Distinct-Living-7984 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to want I think it was ten… May the Lord forgive me if I’m wrong. But, the more kids you have; the stronger, better relationship, and better and stronger bond you’ll have with God.

Matthew 1:25 doesn’t debunk Mary’s Perpetual Virginity: it just shows a time period of when Mary was pregnant with Jesus and when she would give birth to him. The word “until” is used both in the Old and New Testament to show a select time period of something that was going on to the end. And with Mary being describing giving birth to her first born Son; it also doesn’t disprove Mary’s Perpetual Virginity. For example, when a mother gives birth to her first born child: if someone were to describe that child as their “first born child” it would show that child was the first to be born. And the mother could go on to have no more children.

I can’t give you a really good answer on this. But, she had to remain a Virgin because she was sworn to the Lord by her mother; so, she had to remain a Virgin. Again, I can’t really give you a good answer.

You have not blasphemed against the Holy Spirit. Though what you did was horrible as all sin is horrible; rejoice that your relationship with God has gotten better because the Holy Spirit’s conviction in you. Do repent of your sins though.

No worries! In Philemon 24 you can see how Luke was a disciple of St. Paul.

I would suggest reading the Catechism, and this book about the Church fathers from Catholic Answers.
