And GOD saw that, it was good!
And the evening and morning were the fifth day. 24 And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and every thing that creepeth on the earth after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Sick sick sick!
But none of them were suitable companions ! Animals serve man and to place them in relationships with man that are more than that is perversion, beastiality.If you are lacking a companion talk to your guardian angel not your cat ,dog or bird.But again IOC shows forth the depth of his knowledge! Maybe he things it is a Russian dog?
@123jussi Saints lived with animals. Animals walked with them. Satin Philip Neri took his cat everywhere with him. So please spare me with your nonsense. I talk to my Angel every day. I talk to everyone in Heaven every day. I even use to write Our Lord Letters. Then I started to do the same thing on emails. There are all sorts of animals that live with people with all sorts of disabilities. Will you deny and begrudge them of their helpers as well. Please stop with all the nonsense you speak. There is nothing wrong with someone holding a puppy. Why are you so miserable? Don't you have any sort of joy or happiness in you? Do you ever laugh? And where do you come off telling me to talk to my Angel! When you know absolutely nothing about me. You want to play your game again thinking you are better than me and getting on my case? OK! Then let me ask you, do you kiss your statues and pictures and Crucifix's every night before retiring? Do you dip your fingers in Epiphany water and make the sign of the Cross three times? Do you ask your Guardian Angel to wrap you in his Sacred Wings and hold you close and protect and pray for you? How about Saint Michael the Archangel? Do you ask him to cover you with his sacred wings? To protect you from all evil, seen and unseen? And to protect you from other things as well?
Then asking all the Holy Angels of GOD, and all the Holy Ones of GOD to pray for you? Then The Holy Family to Bless and pray for you? To protect you? Then Comes The Most Holy Trinity! Father, Son and Holy Ghost? That is what I do every night. Do you do those things? IF not stop constantly trying to tell me what or how to do things. I know what to do. And I do them. Maybe now you should try doing them. You sound like a miserable person and you try to make others miserable like yourself. I am sorry. That will never happen. I had a life time of miserable people trying to bring me down and make me like them. I don't need a stranger who thinks they are better than me. When you know nothing at all about me. So get a life and enjoy it for once. And stop constantly coming after me and ask GOD to give you some humility and love. You really need them!
@123jussi Tell me something. Do you read The Bible? I suggest you start from the very beginning till the very end. Every time there are verses about animals. highlight it or write it down. I will help you with two of them.
The first one is the most important one of all. Where did GOD allow His Son to be born? Wasn't in a fancy hotel was it? Wasn't in the home of anyone who could give them shelter. Was it? NO!
Our Lord was born in a stable. What was in that stable? TWO Animals! Not only was Our Lord born along side two animals but HE ALSO LIVED WITH THEM TILL THEY HAD TO LEAVE!
He wasn't surrounded by people but animals! Animals they say kept Our Lord warm. YES! He was born in a stable to teach us detachment of earthly things. But GOD can do everything right? Well, why didn't He make His son be born in a tent in a field? Or an abandon shed or stable? Why with two animals? GOD has a reason for everything He does.
Now notice how GOD OPENED the Donkey's mouth. NOT that He spoke through the donkey. But opened his mouth. And he spoke to Balaam. Just like Adam and Eve lived with animals all around them. Talking to them like GOD OPENED the donkeys' mouth!
And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said: What have I done to thee? Why strikest thou me, lo, now this third time?
And the angel said to him: Why beatest thou thy ass these three times?
Get started with The Bible. You need to learn about GOD quickly!
I might as well throw in Saint Juilian of Norwich as well. Ready?
GOD places something in her so tiny she thought if she dropped it that it would be destroyed. Our Lord told her. GOD made it. GOD loves it. And IT WILL NEVER BE DESTROYED!
Did you read that slowly and clearly enough? What GOD made He loves. Therefore, so should we. What is GOD? GOD IS PURE LOVE! To begrudge a person or an animal for that matter is going against who GOD is and what He taught us. Sorry, you really don't know what you are talking about. AS USUAL! Get started now.
Ok! Up for one more?
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee. Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall tell Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.
Remember that all creation honors GOD and praises Him. Not just human beings.
Yet I bet you still don't get it do you?
