I do not know.... I never took the religious attraction to celibacy seriously because I knew it was not workable. And because I know the real reason the Catholic Church started requiring priests to be unmarried and then celibate....funny that it did not happen at the same time. This occurs...

Exactly why I said it. I stay away from the phrase..."You are going to Hell!" Debating is one thing and judging is another.... You will find very few on this forum as tolerant of religious beliefs as I am. Why? Because they are all wrong, so I am not looking for the right ones. I am looking...

There is no indication in the Bible that Yeshua was married.

Christian arguing or debating about beliefs? Was there ever a time that this was not true? They call them Protestants and they call themselves Protestants for a reason......Protest churches. But I can understand if all this offends you or upset you....it they do, don't read these debates...

You are right....it is a matter of tradition that most of the Apostles were single.....some scholars say at the direction of James who was not an apostle but the leader of the Christians at the time. Put Paul talks about it.... 1 Corinthians 9:5 — The New International Version (NIV) 5 Don’t we...

Since you bring this up, it means a couple things. The verse is not addressing divorce.....for one the Christians did not adopt the Jewish process of divorce....letter of divorcement. Secondly it can be referring to the requirement for one wife, not five wives. Not all Christians were...

There is a lot to this verse. You could not be a Jewish religious leader without being married or a widower. This is even true to this day. In the Jewish culture if a man was not married by the time he was 20, it was assumed he was homosexual, if not 30, it was a disgrace on him and his...

First off it is a joke. You have been through a lot.....and hope for the better for you. Sometimes life is a struggle....and sometimes we think marriage is the answer and sometimes it is not.

Yeap you are definitely sanctified....where do we place the stamp!

We need to lay this one to rest.... You can forget about a holy person....as I suspected the Bible does not designate any person holy....no Holy Peter...no Holy Paul....not even Holy Apostles. The Bible speaks of Holy cities but not Rome. Paul calls Christians saints but nothing about horny...

@BreadOfLife Because celibacy does not sanctify anything.....same before....same after......the only difference is if the Priest falls off his celibacy wagon the only thing that gets molested in a hollow chocolate bunny! I think chocolate is better. But he still does not say celibacy sanctifies...

Neither does wearing a robe and horny. Ok define better for me. I see churches wear husband and wife and children pastoral teams will blow you away and bring people to the Lord.

And I always like to ask....how are things in Australia? Take it from someone that has intentionally worshipped with several different denominations in Missouri, up and down the eastern seaboard and Virgin Island and 5 other countries...... ain't none of them got it right! We are all a work in...

And some ya make up? Well I got ta tell ya, I don't usually imply the word holy to people....but if I were to it would be mothers and they are not celibate. Not having sex improves nothing....it does not make ya holy and having sex does not make you less holy....same before and after....just...

Did Paul say holy......and implied is your opinion....and the proof is in the pudding....as it turned out the Church has been disgraced by it....as it turns out....anything but holy....it has neither served Christ or the Church but drag both through the mud.

Oh boy! Do you think that the term holy nature is in 1st Corinthians? There is nothing holy about celibacy. Our mothers are pure. There is nothing about marriage or family or have children that makes anybody less holy. Man! You have a problem! These scriptures do not mean anything like what...

They are kind of apples and oranges except they are things that Christ never intended to happen. The words for Matthew 5:48 are very clear... Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect....not should or strive. The words for Luke:26 are very clear “If anyone comes to Me, and does...

How to study scriptures.... people don't know how to study scriptures. I do believe that scriptures are God-breathed....but you got to understand them. Matthew 5:48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.....give that a try....squashed by the Word of God! “If anyone comes to...

Global Warming is going to be the death us.

Every step toward Rome.....But where are you coming from? With the growing trend of Christians not going to church....there are probably hundreds of millions of Christian renditions running around in people heads. No telling what they are believing....and then you have the New Age movement...
