    Polygamy

    I worship and follow only God, not men.

    Polygamy

    Reaneske was the one who was always saying that polygamy is adultery. Polygamy is actually immoral just as having sex with animals, dead bodies, and objects is immoral. It is a sexual immorality. Incest is also a sexual immorality. Polygamy is not Godly because God created only one wife for...

    Polygamy

    Homosexuality is being attracted and having sex to a person of the same sex. Polygamy is having sex with many people. Homosexuality AND polygamy are both wrong. Some states have already legalized same sex marriage. After that, those who favor polygamy will be coming out of the woodworks and...

    Polygamy

    Monogamy is not the problem. God's plan for marriage has always been between one man and one woman. The relationship between a man and his wife has been disrupted by sin. Having same sex unions or polygamous marriages is not the answer nor will it help heal the disruption caused by sin.

    Polygamy

    Polygamy has negative uses. There is nothing positive about it. It destroys the dignity of a woman by demeaning her into an object.

    Polygamy

    Are you saying that God was wrong in creating only one wife for Adam? God did not create clothes for Adam and Eve because at the time clothes were not needed. God created the human body beautiful and the human body is not shameful. Genesis 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his...

    The Goddess Man Has Made

    Nevertheless, I would not call a fellow Christian an "infidel" regardless of what religious denomination they are in. I would also not call a non-Christian an "infidel." I believe in God, but I also believe in "freedom of religion." That is one thing I like about democracy. If a person...

    Polygamy

    Yes, it does. And in the beginning God created only one wife for Adam.

    I thought only the Muslim radicals use the word "infidels." :)

    Polygamy

    And hopefully this will be my last post under this thread. In the first place, celibacy is not a doctrine nor a dogma of the Catholic Church. As I said, if it was a doctrine, there would be absolutely no married priests in the Catholic Church. Many Christians often attack the Catholic Church...

    The Goddess Man Has Made

    Actually, the Holy Bible tells you to obey your Church leaders. Hebrews 13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.

    Polygamy

    And I already told you that the Church does no such thing because there are also married priests and deacons in our clergy. Married priests are also accepted into the clergy. What actually bothers you is the fact that our priests volunteered and are willing to be celibate because you stated...

    Polygamy

    Perhaps, you need to clarify your position. Are you accusing the Catholic Church of teaching that everyone in the congregation must be celibate because in the first place that is the main impression I got when you stated the following in your post: My Church teach that those who are single...

    Polygamy

    You see, this is where you are not reading my post. We never said that EVERYONE is to remain celibate. That is what the Gnostics teach. You are assuming that the Catholic Church teach that EVERYONE is to remain celibate, and this is false. I am the one who is Catholic, and I know what my...

    The Goddess Man Has Made

    Excellent post! And we Catholics fulfilled this prophecy of calling Mary "blessed" for all generations.

    I did answer your question. In my post #347, this is what I stated:

    Polygamy

    I already stated that we do not forbid marriage because we have both married and single priests. Our goal is to imitate Christ. You make it sound as though imitating Christ who is single is a doctrine of the devils. If the Catholic Church actually forbid marriage, ALL the clergy would be...

    Polygamy

    It has everything to do with polygamy. When St. Paul stated that he must be a bishop of ONE wife, he specifies a number because the bishop should not be a husband of TWO or THREE or even FOUR wives. That is why St. Paul specified a number. People already know that divorce is illegal because...

    Polygamy

    Raeneske, Jeremiah NEVER got married and NEVER had any children either from any woman of that place or any place. When St. Paul said that a bishop must be a husband of one wife.....he is not saying that the bishop MUST marry. In that passage, he is not stating that all bishops must marry...

    Polygamy

    In the first place, Raeneske, they do have a choice whether they want to become a priest or not. We do not go around telling little boys to become a priest when they grow up. No one forces them to join the priesthood. It is open to men. Before joining the priesthood, all of them were already...
