Didn't God create human beings with the ability to reproduce in order to further spread his word for other generations to learn about?

[samuelmedley]

@VAdirtyS God created our bodies and souls for communion. Communion is the strongest urge, desire, longing, and when it is spiritualized or offered to God "for the sake of the kingdom" (Mt 19:12) it becomes very spiritually fruitful. If you are Christian and follow the Bible you see that Jesus gave the gift or charism of celibacy to his Church for that reason. The most sublime example of that was of course his own celibacy.

Ok sir, that's cool but keep a few condoms handy anyway. Christians have more unity on actually having premarital sex than on almost any other religious issue.

Check out my channel and website sometime. I'll show you all the pro-premarital sex stuff in the Bible your Diocese never told you about.

Yes, sex is a beautiful and holy, but only in the sanctuary of marriage and nowhere else.

I believe you take the Bible out of context, and do not believe that you speak with any kind of academic or biblical viable authority worthy of following or believing.

You do, however, give Christians an excuse or justification to have extra-marital sex, and that is why Christians are rightfully angry with you.

Please don't say you speak on behalf of Christ. You are rather an apostle of Freud.

I was with you until you started speaking about the woman expressing her love through the husband... but no mention of a husband expressing his love through his wife...kind of made it sound as though men have a direct line to God but married women (as a lesser species) must reach God through her husband.

Probably wasn't what you were going for but it through me for a loop!

[samuelmedley]

I did not speak about women celibates or married men because I wanted to keep it short, but because I want to make you happy I will say now, "a man gifts his body to God through his wife and the only way he can love his wife well is if he loves his wife through God, that is, with his love. A woman celibate offers her whole womanhood, femininity, and fertility directly to God.

I never said that women were a lesser species. I wonder why you say that or seem to imply why I say that?

Hi Samuelmedley.

I was married for the first time 12 years ago.

It did'nt work out so as a result I have been celebate for the last 8 years.

I feel so much more closer to god being single and celebate than I did when I was married.

I look at life with different eyes now.

I love god and always think of him nearly every day.

Thanks for the nice video.

[theselfdeception]

Very well said, thank you for this video. I turned to God some years ago and have been celibate since. My life is not lacking in any way.

[Kevonthafuture450000]

I plan to be celibate until I'm dead

[armandogonzalezrn]

Thanks very much, I am a Christian and have prayerfully decided to become celibate... I appreciate your commentary and dedication to the Lord.

[SpatialVortex]

OH MY GOSH! YOU ARE ONE OF FEW MEN THAT FINALLY EVOLVED! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! REALLY! I HOPE GOD GIVES YOU MANY BLESSINGS WHICH ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD, BUT BEYOND AND BETTER.

[ShaolinRambo]

if everybody is going to use the excuse that god has made us for reproduction should have 10-15 kids by now and the population would be 20 billion. Stop using excuses for sexual urges. Atleast say the truth. Continous sex is not natural if you deeply think about it. A condom does not come from the earth we manufacture it. Humanity is declining in moral values..and people should try the path of celibacy for building a better character and trust me it makes you much more healthier. God Bless You

[kojelja0]

Bravo! this video is very useful, and big tnx for making it ;) I am 25 years old guy, who is very pleased to share this opinion and agree with u. Well done!

[CircusofPython]

I want to be a priest, but the celibacy requirement is the hardest thing to accept.

[zaynzaynzayn]

There is a long tradition of men abstaining for spiritual enlightenment. There is nothing wrong with not having sex.

[Venustarr]

@cymbeli Amen! You put him in his place and so did the priest!

[cymbeli]

@NotAnotherGeneration Keep a few condoms handy? To a priest? You are talking about yourself.....not him and this is the same self centered perspective as a pot smoker who thinks all people smoke it and a cheater who thinks all people cheat. He has a weakness and can't conceive of the fact that not all people share his weakness...another psychological mind game man plays with himself in order to cope with his errors. This way you don't feel so sinful. Try to have some respect please.
