It is so good to see the writing of someone so sure of their facts.Unfortunately most of them are fabrications and constructs of men to be believed by others who feel they are endowed with the ability to interpret and/or know God's Word.

I have been asking,and you are the19th person I have asked for anything Biblical that clearly supports your contention that celibacy was not in accord with Jesus's plan for His Apostles. No one has been able to support it. Was Peter married. Yes. Was he married when Christ selected him? Well,notice we only know that he had a mother-in-law. Three or four references and no mention of his wife being around. I had a mother-in-law for twenty years after my husband died.

Paul's reference to "carrying a wife"? Did you know that the word,now interpreted as wife is the word used by Jesus at the wedding at Cana to address His mother? Am I saying that none of the Apostles were married? No,I actually don't know and the Bible is silent and God did not tell me personally but I certainly would argue that I have more to support my position taken directly from the scriptures than you do.

Therefore to relax relax the discipline of celibacy now would be a dangerous thing to do and play into the enemies'hand. You need to take Father Elijah's plan to heart and pray,you might see and perceive,and hear and understand. We all need to pray.

Priests were married in the church untill questions of inheritance stopped the practice..There are some very holy deacons in your church that would love to be priests..it needs to be seriously considered..

Did you know that the word,now interpreted as wife is the word used by Jesus at the wedding at Cana to address His mother?

Just curious, can you give me a little more about this. Thanks
