THIS, however, IS recorded:
Romans 7:1-2
Do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives?
For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.
Does this mean if the wife dies; then you no longer HAVE a MIL?
Galatians 5:12
Got anything more current?
Your wish is my command!
I certainly wouldn’t discuss non-Catholic doctrine authoritatively.
However, I would ask questions, as I know I am quite ignorant when it comes to non-Catholic doctrines.
Now that is funny!
Unbelievable.
Where oh where is that YOPIOS cereal box jpg.? Instead of saying Evangelists decide to leave out replace it with Catholics decide to add to. A lot of things aren't mentioned in the Bible. It just means that . . . they weren't mentioned , that's all. Peters wife wasn't important to his job as apostle.
So you think the Golden Rule says that priests are not to marry? Is that in the Catholic Douay Commentary section? Are you a wine drinker, perchance?
I can think of several. They usually conclude with the tagline, "False doctrine breeds corruption."
Nobody said anything about needed or not needed either.
Exhibit A: "If it's not doctrine, then there's no need to demand it, then is there? - Post #108. It must be an unconscious thing.
The suggestion is offered as a solution, one that most RC's gasp in horror over.
I don't think so. Eastern Rite Catholics have married priests. And we have married priests according to the Anglican Ordinariate. If anything, it's a solution in search of a problem. But this is one of these issues in which, not unlike liberals judge-shopping to enact their policy preferences, protestants go Pope-shopping for changes to Church discipline to suit their preferences.
Yes you do still have a MIL even if your wife dies. I believe this was my point. Just because it is recorded he had a MIL, we can't conclude with certainty his wife was alive.
19 For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more. 20 And I became to the Jews a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: 22 To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all. 23 And I do all things for the gospel’s sake, that I may be made partaker thereof. (1 Co 9:19-23)
Fits right in with YOUR Catechism of the Catholic church.
CCC 360 Because of its common origin the human race forms a unity, for “from one ancestor [God] made all nations to inhabit the whole earth”:226 (225, 404, 775; 831, 842)
O wondrous vision, which makes us contemplate the human race in the unity of its origin in God … in the unity of its nature, composed equally in all men of a material body and a spiritual soul; in the unity of its immediate end and its mission in the world; in the unity of its dwelling, the earth, whose benefits all men, by right of nature, may use to sustain and develop life; in the unity of its supernatural end: God himself, to whom all ought to tend; in the unity of the means for attaining this end; … in the unity of the redemption wrought by Christ for all.
St. Paul also commends celibacy, as Jesus does.
"To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion"
Do "Bible Alone" people read the whole Bible, or just passages that their pastor preaches on?
Yes. I do.
Some read it, some don’t. But “Bible Alone” represents an inability to understand that is profound and real.
Yes. I do.
Reading is good. Reading and comprehending is preferred.
Where's that YOPIOS picture again?? So you're telling me God gave us His Word but we are unable to understand it? Is that some sort of failing on Gods part? Does He have a Plan B? God gives us the Gospel (literally the Good News) but it doesn't do us any good? I thought with God all things are possible. Even understanding His Word. In fact I believe it is His Promise to give us understanding. A lot further than Catholic tradition because it is His Word.
