I am careful. Again, thank you for your concern.
Breast feeding is how God created us. The whole thing with Paul and the pagans was to show that everything God creates is Good. Breastfeeding included. Paul also said not to eat meat around those that are weak and so I do not wish to "eat meat" around any who are weak.
But God made woman and gave her breasts to feed/milk her young and there is no evil in that. It is beautiful to me.
Yea, but the breast thing came out of paganism.
Are you saying breast feeding came from paganism???
Surely, that is not what you are saying.
u know what i mean.
According to Jesus in Luke 21:23, the OC Jews practiced it alsoAre you saying breast feeding came from paganism???
Surely, that is not what you are saying.
Don't let me get my gigger outu know what i mean.

Hi bro and thanks for those links.*snip*
I was mentioning Early Christian writings having to do with Mary and Joseph and so I thought I should provide links for anyone interested.
CHURCH FATHERS: The Apocalypse of the Virgin
There's been some weird ideas and beliefs that have come out of Medugorje.expect.
God(Jesus glorified) was with them, any others?I heard Moses and Elijah showed up on a mountain once.
Reminiscent ofIn The Times today, http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/faith/article2686110.ece
In case it won't let people read it, the headline is 'Visions of the Madonna - or the devil's mischief?'
Part of the article goes
"Until this year the Vatican has said nothing on Medjugorje, beyond stating that Catholics are allowed to visit in private groups, accompanied by a priest, but diocesan-run pilgrimages are forbidden. A cardinal has also said that the local bishops opinion is private and not binding. In March Pope Benedict said that an international commission would investigate the apparitions. Its findings will be published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vaticans doctrinal watchdog.
Since Benedict has become Pope, the Congregation has started to regulate these things \[visions\] rather than let them carry on, says Foley. He believes the duration of the apparitions, and that they are said to occur daily, causes concern in the Vatican."
I thought it was RC and EO dogma and unresolved in Lutheranism.
There was once a monk that saw what he believed to be a vision of Mary outside his cell. He saw the vision for several nights and never said anything to his elder. One particular foggy night "Mary" beckoned him to follow her. He followed her through the fog for some time until he took a step and realized that there was no ground under his foot. He pulled his foot away and took a few steps back. He focused his eyes and felt in front of him and realized that he was at the edge of a cliff. Had he continued to follow "Mary" he would have been led right off a cliff to his death. He repented of his pride and went and spoke to his elder about the matter, which he should have done the very first time he saw the vision.
