To understand why Jesus never married and had children you have to know what He said about how He lived.What a lot of words without answering anything. You say it was God's design but can't say why Jesus didn't marry and have children.
I can't read your mind so I've no idea what you mean.To understand why Jesus never married and had children you have to know what He said about how He lived.
John 5:19-20--Then Jesus replied, “ I assure you: The Son is not able to do anything on His own, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does these things in the same way. For the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything He is doing, and He will show Him greater works than these so that you will be amazed."
Jesus constantly did the Father's will. He was never out of the Father's will, not once, not for a second.I can't read your mind so I've no idea what you mean.
How are you reading that? God was not married so didn't want Jesus to be married? I thought you said marriage was part of God's plan.
Hebrews 13:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. there is nothing in the Bible about marriage and sodomy.. iam talking scripture . next people will be peeking in bedrooms to see how others has sex when married
this is the topicWasn’t talking about your bed. Or if you are married what you and your husband decide as you said that is between and man and his wife. Was only referencing there is also a different reference to bed as in Revelation 2:22-23 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. [23] And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
in reference to whoremongers and adulterers ...against God in going after the flesh instead of after the Spirit. It is said context, context context...Hebrews 13:4 in context is not even talking about what a man and woman do together ...that is not the topic but seems random and out of place ...UNLESS it is closer to speaking of belonging and betrothed to Christ.
i must get a different bible.Hebrews 13:4 in context is not even talking about what a man and woman do together
“parading”...interesting choice of word to evoke an strong reaction.
Will say with the hatred and disgust for the homosexuals... soon you’ll have them spitting the pork out.
Almost got me convinced that maybe you are right and I do have double standards.
Bingo! And, ALL the non-Christiqans, and a few that I do know...All. Have. Sex. Outside of marriage...I used to make the point that whatever reasons are granted for homosexuality can be just as easily used for all other forms of deviant behavior, but I'm beginning to see that we can just as easily take it another step back and make the same claim for fornication, adultery, profaning the Sabbath, ignoring the dietary laws, etc. Judgment begins with the church. We have only ourselves to blame for this nonsense.
Why didn't Jesus marry then?
I also wonder if Paul believed women had to have children in order to be saved. Can that be right? What he meant confuses me. First he says there is neither male nor female; then he says there is a difference. I don't know what to make of some things he wrote.
1 Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
The whole issue revolves around God's promise to Abraham to have descendants as numerous as the stars. Anything that was an affront to that promise was sin. Coming up with legal loopholes to nullify God's word, doesn't cut it.the Bible says marriage is honorable in all. and the bed is undefiled ..but adulterers and whoremongers God will judge, there is no reference to sodomy between man and wife . that is Bible
The divorce rate among professing Christians is just as high as secular society, and that is exclusively because they remarry and divorce AGAIN. Divorce is a means to remarry which Christ himself condemned as adultery. So if they were actual followers of Christ we can safely assume that half of all Christians formicated on their spouses which allowed their spouses to divorce and remarry. Something tells me that they divorced for the only reason God allowed divorce in the first place: "the hardness of their hearts". Divorce was instituted because of God's grace for those who are hard hearted. It was never intended as a means to remarry. That was only the exception to the rule. It's sad how often the desperately wicked take the exception and make it the rule.Bingo! And, ALL the non-Christiqans, and a few that I do know...All. Have. Sex. Outside of marriage...
Are you suggesting this is a loophole?the Bible says marriage is honorable in all. and the bed is undefiled ..but adulterers and whoremongers God will judge, there is no reference to sodomy between man and wife . that is Bible
So anything goes as long as you are married, hey why not have a threesome or foursome honey we're married so it's okay.the Bible says marriage is honorable in all. and the bed is undefiled ..but adulterers and whoremongers God will judge, there is no reference to sodomy between man and wife . that is Bible
I'm not following what you mean here. Jesus points out that the legalists are all going to stand there as the prostitutes, tax collectors, etc. enter into the kingdom ahead of them. What else would you call it?
I'm going to walk out on a limb here and guess that you're engaging in some sort of sarcasm here. The problem with sarcasm is that if the person you're addressing doesn't know what you're talking about, it doesn't work. Pardon my inability to keep up. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box.
I very much doubt sodomy is okay if you are married, if you like that sort of stuff then you are a deviant, that part of the body isn't meant for entry only exit, if you know what I mean.I agree, and have to really wonder about husbands who want that sort of thing. I would think to become one you have to be looking your spouse in the eye. But I am curious as to what he thinks.
Are you saying God doesn’t have children?Jesus constantly did the Father's will. He was never out of the Father's will, not once, not for a second.
Marriage is part of God's plan for humans and is the framework God created for humans to obey His command to multiply and fill the earth. Obviously, this was not the mission of Jesus Christ, who came to die for our sins and conquer sin and death.
And because of this mess of acceptance you have children and their sick parents wanting to change their child's sex because maybe the little boy played with his sister's doll or something, and homos and lesbos are allowed to adopt, you tell me something ain't wrong.Hi Pearl, I believe that JohnPaul's seemingly hard stance stems from the fact that rarely, in the course of modern history, has ever such an overtly deviant and Biblically denounced sin, become either, in a complacent or militant manner, accepted as normal, or embraced as an act of love. It's all over the media as acceptable, on the TV shows, in the videos, in the advertisements, in the schools. And thus, is posing a greater threat than other sins that, at least currently, are still kept underground and hidden.
I, equally, find it utterly disgusting to watch people, whom I may have had some admiration for, embrace and support this defiant, deviant, perverted and shameful act...
...you know, to me, this is part of the mystery and wisdom of God. For, it's times like these that separate the boys from the men. Had it not been for this epidemic of inclusion, we may not have seen who the real fools are, as in, not necessarily those who practice it, but those who do not denounce it, ...who prior to this, may have appeared as having somewhat sound judgement?
Hate is a strong word, I don't hate them I pity them, for they are in eternal damnation unless they stop and repent and ask for forgiveness, your 12 year old kid who's going to have a sex change is due to all this acceptance, and they'll be even younger children who'll want to change sex, you'll see.But it isn't the only sin to be accepted as normal is it? Adultery and unmarried sex have also been normalised. And so has lying and other 'lesser' sin as well as abortion. I do not condone homosexuality at all but what I do think is that we should not automatically shun people who practice it but draw them to Christ with love. If they choose to carry on with their chosen lifestyle that is up to them but hate is a sin too and we must not hate them. But I do think that if they decide to follow Jesus then they need to repent of their former lifestyle and abstain from that type of sex just as anybody would be expected to turn away from their former sinful lifestyle and live their lives God's way.
then I apologize for thinking you were being sarcastic is referencing homosexual parades...when it was my mind that went there with parading.
If I’ve understood correctly, you suggest that just because His command may reveal a greater Spiritual Law that doesn’t mean we get rid of the Law of the Land as being good in all?
I do pick and choose which commands I keep
and do not know what to think of this concerning the Sabbath day and keeping it Holy and dietary Laws and as we had the disagreement before on circumcision.
The problem with this idea is that we do all sorts of things with our bodies that they were never meant to do. Our mouths are purposed with eating, talking, vomiting, etc., but we use them for all sorts of things that they simply shouldn't do. We should eat and drink nutritious foods, but how many of us drink diet sodas? There is no nutritional value whatsoever in a diet Coke, and yet no one ever condemns anyone for drinking them. We lick stamps, but the tongue was not created to lick stamps either. The list could go on indefinitely.I very much doubt sodomy is okay if you are married, if you like that sort of stuff then you are a deviant, that part of the body isn't meant for entry only exit, if you know what I mean.
