Your theory is that Scripture says that bishops are to be married. You then define bishops as being settled down and married. Sooooo where does Scripture back up that theory? What canon 15 of Nicaea said is that "neither bishop, elder, nor deacon shall pass from city to city." It does NOT...

Your questions are difficult to decipher since they lack logic......that's what's with that. Glad we can agree that neither of us want our children to be defiled.

What is YOUR definition of bishop?

You are sooooooooooooo confusing. The happily married gay couple may or may not have an eye out for my child also. Probably not, but we wouldn't know it EITHER. There was NO "advantage in knowing things like that" since you qualified it with the word "might". You don't KNOW something if it...

Was Paul a bishop?

Hey Dodgeball.....You made a big deal out of me not answering your question....how about you show some respect and answer mine: Soooo when I said "NO ONE would want to live next to a person who might have an eye on defiling their child" you couldn't figure out my answer?

Ok....what has this to do with marriage?

Got it......a bishop does not have to be married.....Thank You.

2 Timothy 4:3 Polygamy in the NT period

You are sooooo confusing. He is still a bishop AFTER his wife died and according to your theory a bishop must be married.....Sooooo must a bishop be married or not?

Sooooo I will ask again: Please show me in Scripture where it says a bishop MUST be married.

The two choices you presented: 1. live next door to a happily married gay couple OR 2. live next door to a single gay man pretending to be straight who might have an eye for your son Soooo when I said "NO ONE would want to live next to a person who might have an eye on defiling their...

Good morning, Please show me in Scripture where it says a bishop MUST be married. It tells us what he MUST be IF he is married in 1 Timothy AND Titus but NO WHERE does it say he must be married. How do you square your theory with Paul’s repeated recommendations to remain celibate, remain...

LOL.....If saying that my answer "NO ONE would want to live next to a person who might have an eye on defiling their child is playing a game then you have a weird way of looking at games. o_O How much straight forward can that be?

Trump and H. Clinton received enough of OUR votes in their respective general elections to win the nomination. Trumped received enough of OUR votes in the primary election in the States that had the most ELECTORAL COLLAGE. If you move around the votes for Hillary in various States to the...

Hi Stan, I agree with you that it says he must be the husband of one wife. HOWEVER, the contention I am making is that a bishop does not have to be married. IF he is married he is allowed only one wife. Please show me in Scripture where it says a bishop MUST be married. I can't find it...

Ummmm......those passages are about ALL Christians and priests are Christians. They are fulfilling scripture by leading the life that the Lord has assigned, to which God called them. Christ himself gave the pastors and teachers. Haven't you read the bible you quote from?

Ummmm....Yes I did answer your question when I said But to answer your question.... of course NO ONE would want to live next to a person who might have an eye on defiling their child.

Hi, No, Paul was not advising them all to be unmarried. o_O I believe I have made it CLEAR that is not what I or the CC believes or Scripture says. However when Paul was speaking about married couples he said I wish that all were as I myself am. Paul was NOT MARRIED and was CELIBATE because...

I think Scripture is pretty clear. It is not one or the other. They CAN be married or they CAN be single which REQUIRES celibacy.
