    Why did Our Lord not get married then? Why did He remain unmarried? He didn't and He is the eternal High Priest. The office of the priesthood doesn't allow for marriage. If you do some research you'll see exactly why.

    CELIBATE PRIESTS ARE AGAINST the Bible:

    "A BISHOP then must be blameless, the HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE...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?)"-1 Timothy 3:2-5

    "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD."-Proverbs 18:22

    "And when Jesus came into PETER'S house, he saw his

    WIFE's mother lying sick of a fever."-Matthew 8:14

    If celibacy is so unnatural then what is natural? Changing partners as you do underwear? Yet that is the case nowadays, more and more people have no qualms having fifteen boyfriends a year. But ask a psychologist that is not the actions of a stable, well adjusted person.

    Only in a culture like ours will celibacy seem disgusting. The truth is, celibacy has a long history in the world; from young girls whose parents dedicated to God at birth, to certain rabbis who lived a celibate and aesthetic life. They weren't seen as strange or disgusting then, in fact, people held them in high esteem. Jesus did mention the merits of not marrying, He says "others do not marry due to the kingdom of heaven." referring to Himself and others after Him.

    I have never heard that before, but it makes sense. And how dispicable that is! It's a shame because the Bible clearly teaches to be fruitful and multiply. Sure, there are special occassions of people that can be celibate their whole life. But that's between them and God. To make a whole doctrine of it is disgusting. The truth is that all we have to do to be blessed and saved in this life is trust Christ.We don't have to confess to priests who are probably secretly getting off on the confessions

    Celibacy was created so the church could inherit priests' property and wealth instead of family members. It was a corrupt idea from the beginning and it is corrupt today.
