What bible quotes are used to back up a Roman Catholics view towards banning infertility treatments?
Q. This is for an essay, I am not having children. Roman catholics ban fertility treatments because -they involve fertilization outside the womb, and god intended sex to be the only method of procreation. -processes using IVF involve embroyos being wasted, similar to abortion. But why do they say these things? What bible passage support this? I've done alot of research, I just need a bible passage.

A. The teachings of the Roman Catholic Church don't just come straight out of the Bible like some other Christians. You can't always find a Bible verse that specifically says something is wrong. Instead of asking people on Yahoo Answers this kind of question and risk getting a bunch of uneducated opinions and rude comments about the Catholics, why don't you do some real research? There are plenty of books and stuff out there about Catholic sexual ethics that can explain this a lot better than random strangers on the internet. Is this what passes for research these days?! Edit: See, I told you you would get people insulting Catholic views instead of actually answering your question.

How long does the Bible say to wait before having sex after giving birth?
Q. I just had a baby 5 weeks ago and am curious what the bible says about having sex. I know their are a specific # of days it actually says but am not sure where to find them in the bible, but I have heard it before.
Asked by Jeff S - Wed Sep 8 22:00:40 2010 - - 4 Answers - Comments
A. There is a difference depending on if it is a boy or girl child, as giving birth to a girl child is seen as being more unclean. I think I can find the passage on that to back up my claim, give me a minute or two. Here it is: Leviticus 12 Purification After Childbirth 1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Say to the Israelites: 'A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period. 3 On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised. 4 Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. 5 If she gives birth to a daughter,… [cont.]

How do you feel about the Bible being an accurate resource?
Q. We know that the Bible is full of contradictions and also impossibilities (Noah's ark, etc.). So what is your conviction about this> (a) We need to study and consider everything that is written there in order to make a decision about the validity of same. (b) I believe that everything that is written in the Bible is the absolute and unfailing word of God and that we should live our lives accordingly. (c) I believe that living my life strictly according to what is printed in the Bible is bound to result in absolute and total frustration.

A. The recipienta s gender is irrelevant. It depends whether it is simple a gift or to be used for Bible study. If a gift then any version will do. The NIV would make the easiest reading. If for Bible study may be a Thompsons Chain Reference version would be the most use full.

How could a Christian justify the Bible saying that the earth is flat?
Q. I'm a fairly new Christian, but I've never considered this before: The Bible does not specifically claim that the earth is flat but it is strongly hinted in several places. It is also rarely hinted at that the earth is round, or a sphere, etc. So if the Bible is God's word, how could a Christian justify the Bible's claims of our earth being flat, when God created earth? Surely God should know that the earth is round, and so this should be said in the Bible?

A. You have been misinformed about what the Bible says. Over 2700 years ago God inspired Isaiah to write this about the earth: (Isaiah 40:22) There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers, the One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell, And this was long before explorers like Christopher Colombus helped us see that the earth is indeed round.

A. An excellent book to start for anyone who wants to know the Bible is called, "Living by the Book". If you e-mail me I will give you as many resources as you want. Most of it is free. I would be more than happy to help you with anything. I need to use this seminary training for something. ;-) edit-- Regardless what your experience with the Bible is, read, read, read. Ask God to enlighten you to the truth of scripture and keep reading. There are so many resources available to you, (some good some not so much) that if you are serious you can get a very solid foundation for free. It is very hard work I will warn you.

How is it possible for a bible to be absolute authority?
Q. This does not make sense. When people read a scripture text they will interpret it in different ways because we are unique in character and life experience, so we will judge and analyze it and observe different moral ethics. People naturally form subjective opinions but if you dismiss everyone else and uphold the bible as absolute moral authority in the end this makes you morally wrong to put yourself above other humans and elevate yourself to Godlike status. If you are saying everyone is wrong for not all observing the bible in exactly the same way then God made a mistake to make us with our different minds and capabilities therefore he is not devine and perfect.

Any versions that use the original Greek as their source are going to be less prone to error than a translation of a translation. There are many examples of King James translations where the translators just got it wrong.

Q. I'm looking for verses and passes in the Bible that talk of homosexuality. I'm not knocking anything, or anyone, I'm just doing a research paper on gay rights and was planning to use the Bible as a refrecne. Anything would be greatly appreciated!

A. Hey there, Lana makes some interesting points but I disagree - there's a LOT more research on why some people are gay and lesbian. There's no evidence that homosexuality is a learned behaviour or a psychological disorder, and plenty that suggests it's biological. For example, there are some fun facts like gay men are much more likely to be left handed than straight men. How do social theories account for that? Did we learn that at gay school?! Come on! :-) As for the sexual orientation of scientists - is that less biased than attempts by one Christian scientist recently to "prove" that you can change someones sexual orientation?

How is morality based on the Bible, if you have to use your own morals to interpret the Bible?
Q. Many laws in the Bible are said to be null after the new covenant. But some are still held as valid. As far as I can tell, this is pretty much based on what people are comfortable with. Which depends on your culture and time period. So how can someone claim the Bible as an objective moral guide if you use your morals to interpret it?

A. I have one for you: Which came first the chicken or the egg? Feels like the same concept. Also, don't forget when you read the Bible, you are reading a translation. You are reading someone's interpretations and the translator's morals on the book.

What does the bible say about getting hi?
Q. I know it says you shouldn't get drunk, but what if I get just a little hi? Cause sometimes I need to get just a little hi so I can understand most of the parts of the bible. On a side not, without getting a little hi they never would have been able to come up with the stories in the bible. I swore I talked to a donkey and a snake this one time.

A. Here is a website that teaches the meaning of every verse of every Book in the Bible: How about doing John 11, and the security of salvation in Jesus? Focus is particularly on John 11:25-27. The website can help explain anything you might want more explanation for :)
