Let me get this straight. While you're defending traditional marriage (I do as well), you use the verse that states bishops should have a wife.The verse even seems to imply having children; After all if you cannot rule your own house well, how in the world do you expect to take care of God's church? But when it comes your church making the priests have to be celibate, you call it a higher calling?
1 Timothy 3:2-5 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
How is forbidding what the Word of God says a higher calling?
1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
I'm not sure if you realize this, but not only is this hypocritical, but the Word of God says it's also a doctrine of devils.
