Ah. At least one bold response.

A voluntary vow taken by those who want to follow in the work of Christ's twelve unmarried apostles.

Matthew 8:14 (KJV): And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. 15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

Still think the 12 Disciples were unmarried? Seriously? What else you got?

They're not dead.

So, to which other non-alive people am I authorized to pray? My grandmother? Lenny Bruce?

I'd like to take a timeout right now and say "thanks" to FR and everyone in this thread. We're having a free, theological discussion, without limit of, say an "LDS CAUCUS" label on the freaking thread.

So, thanks again.

Authorized?

LOL

How about you prove Peter was still married when he became an Apostle.

Oh, wait. You can't.

We all agree that at one time or another, Peter was married. There is no additional reference to Peter's wife or children. For all we know, Peter's wife may have been deceased. The fact that one Apostle had been married does not support the notion that the others were also married. Remember, they accompanied our Lord for 3 years in His travels. No mention of their spouses and/or children. Mark 10:28-31.
