Are Reverend Fathers And The Catholic Church As A Whole Not Disobeying The Bible by Mescopaul(m): 8:45pm On Sep 13, 2013 |
The bible made it clear that we should be fruitful and multiply, to this effect i see no reason why the Roman Catholic Church forbids their Reverends in engaging in marriage and thereby raising up families as the Lord has commanded. Forbidding to marry is it not a breech on the law of the bible and the family institution as a whole? |

Even apostle Paul admonisd us to stay as he did bt if we kant contain or control d flesh then we shld get married. Marriage is not compulsory. dats not what God meant by being fruitful alone. he was also refern to d creative ability of man to improve on the world dt he has created 1 Like |

I don't think they are disobeying the bible. As a priest it is good but if and only if you know you can do it and what i think can bring curse is when you are claiming to be a Rev. Father and having secret affair.............the likes of Paul,majority of Jesus disciples, Jesus himself and John the baptist never get married..... So i can say that getting married is not a must but it is better to get married than falling into the sin of fornication. . . . . . . . . .* Note: am nt a catholist but Baptist* |

@Op, the Catholic church did not "order" its priest and rev sisters to be single. Being celibate just like Jesus Christ & John the Baptist is a standard for being a priest or a Reverend Sister in the catholic church. People are not forced into it. You have to fully convinced by the spirit before you go into priesthood or sisterhood. You have to be prepared before you plunge into it. Don't misinterprete the bible to suit your personal ego! 1 Like |

Get ur facts right before deceiving de feeble minded.priesthood started with Aaron who was happily married with children. Does the name John de baptist ring a bell? Ask what his father's vocation was as well. Time will fail me to talk about Eli and his family. Or did Peter who you reverence as de foundation (rock) upon whom ur church was built not married as well? Check out de story about his sick mother-in-law whom Jesus healed by Himself. Apostle Paul's case was just a personal decision,not based on any human ideology nor oaths (calibacy). |

Royal Roy: @Op, the Catholic church did not "order" its priest and rev sisters to be single.Sorry to say but we find out that most Rev Fathers are nt capable of maintaining the standard, thereby illicit affairs here and there, and that was what Apostle Paul warned against 1 Corinthians 7:2 "NEVERTHELESS TO AVOID FORNICATION LET EVERY MAN HAVE HIS OWN WIFE, AND LET EVERY WOMAN HAVE HER OWN HUSBAND" |

Mescopaul:Matt 19 V 12 For there are some eunuchs which were so born from there mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs , which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. (KJV) For there are different reasons why men cannot marry: some because they were born that way; others, because men made them that way; and others do not marry for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him who can accept this teaching do so. ( GNB). So why did you say its not about marriage. Or perhaps the word eunuch means pastor? |

Is it impossible to have a difference of opinion on a subject without it getting all personal,rowdy, and the like in NL. We keep complaining about our leaders but taking a cue from the attitude displayed by members of NL I doubt many wouldn't make better leaders. It goes beyond being incorruptible you know. Tolerance and humility births true wisdom. Folks let's learn how to agree to disagree. |

xynerise:Its not true, the bible never had any reason or medium to talk abt or make refference to the disciples' wives or family, if Peter's mother inlaw had not had any fever and as such needed no healing frm Jesus who would have known that Peter was married? |

Sal C: Matt 19 V 12 For there are some eunuchs which were so born from there mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs , which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. (KJV)Eunuchs to me means castrated or infertile men, and ofcos why should an infertile man talk abt marraige at all ,. But we talking here abt sound men not infertile men. |

Mescopaul: Eunuchs to me means castrated or infertile men, and ofcos why should an infertile man talk abt marraige at all ,. But we talking here abt sound men not infertile men.Then you are yet to understand what Jesus meant when he said ' some made themselves eunuch for the kingdom of heaven's sake. Notice that these people made themselves eunuch, that's to say they were not one before then. And Jesus did not mean that you should get yourself castrated. He meant that these people choose to celibacy for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. That's what Rev Frs do. |
