How did you come to that conclusion from the life of the Holy Family?
I just gave you the verse from 1st Corinthians
You’re quoting an evangelical “bible”.
This is a catholic caucus. Are you a practicing catholic?
The Greek text - UBS or Na 27 - says the exact same thing. I just figured you don’t read Greek.
Again, even if his wife were alive, there is no evidence that they did not refrain from marital relations, as the Jewish priests did when they served in the Temple. Constancy in marriage was a precursor to the latter strict requirement for mandatory celibacy. As for 1 Timothy, if the Protestant interpretation for this were true, Paul would be disqualifying himself since he was unmarried. Rather it is a disqualification for those who were married multiple times and showed that they could not remain faithful to marriage or, alternatively, could not remain unmarried after the death of their first wife.
Are you a practicing catholic?
But first corinthians clearly states that spouses are not to deny conjugal rights to each other , so Peter was married and not celibate.q
No it wasn’t, that’s just the Protestant lies.
The Bible and tradition hold more than one truth within the verses. Concepts are important to understanding. Think “trinity”...
Peter was already married when he met Jesus. I think your authority is lacking. You obviously dont believe in the traditions...even though the Bible instructs us to.
You are being dogmatic...your entire argument rests on a couple of verses which you keep repeating. Your knowledge is based upon a incorrect bible. 500 years ago, 1,500 years after the Catholics put together the bible your Martin Luther decided to correct God and removed parts of the Biblle he arbitrarily didnt like. He overruled God. You’re doing the same thing. You are showing a great example of the danger of Sola Scriptura..
God bless Pope Benedict XVI and Cardinal Sarah!
These are instructions to the common believers, not to those specifically called to priestly service. In any case, you missed the important qualifier that Paul adds:
Do not deprive each other, except perhaps by mutual consent for a time, to be free for prayer, but then return to one another, so that Satan may not tempt you through your lack of self-control. This I say by way of concession, however, not as a command. Indeed, I wish everyone to be as I am, but each has a particular gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. (1 Corinthians 1:5-7)The Bible does not forbid marital continence for those who wish to practice it.
DITTO!!
The red herring is that Benedict is still Pope until he fully resigns, which he never did. Can’t have two popes at the same time - either Benedict puts it on the line and takes back full authority, or he is just another opinion to be ignored by Bergoglio and the GAy Mafia.
Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas? 1 Corinthians 9:5 NASB
5Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas? 1 Corinthians 9:5 NASB

This is really to easy.
The more correct statement would be, he just doesn't read.
What’s the official Bible of OMCET?
