@PLISKEN12 The RCC always required priests to be celibate and if u were married u were allowed to come in being married but still had to take a vow of celibacy to not have sexual intercourse with the wife, and this was mostly applied to Jews converting to Christianity. Later it became obvious that it wasnt being practiced so the rule of discipline was established.

timothy 4 : 1-3. its not supposed to be like that.

U Idiot! This is talking about Pagans that were practing premartial sex and orgies and homosexuality in the area that Timothy was in so they were against the Christian ideas of marriage taught by Christ(Celibate), St Paul (Celibate), and the Apostles(Celibate after they went to grow the Church). Celibacy of the Apostles cant be found in the Bible but Oral Traidtion tells us they did just like its not in the Bible but Oral Tradition that they were martyred.

ur stupid ! i dont think so why dont u read up on the verse before that and tell me where it says that. dont make up ur own story, where did u get this from the neighborhood barbershop? actually the bible does say something about celibacy so i'm really confused w/c one is right. just watch this video and you'll see when they talk about eunuchs. u dimwit !

[PLISKEN12]

and how the hell would homosexuality come into the picture when it comes to marriage u idiot!

@PLISKEN12 who has the Authority, Sacred Scripture or the Church? Id like to know your opinion ?

[CircusofPython]

@PLISKEN12 You took the verse out of context. St. Paul was speaking of the false teachers who were abundant in the communities of ancient Church who command things that the Apostles never commanded. He wasn't speaking about priestly celibacy, which was an idea that he himself embraced (St. Paul has shown himself to be anti-marriage in general in some of his epistles).

Also, St. Paul and Jesus were both celibate. So we can assume that celibacy for God's sake is holy.

@CircusofPython Paul was not married, but he was not anti-marriage, actually, most of the apostles were married men, even Peter.
