Yup, even Peter was married.

Er, but his wife had died. No wait -- he left her behind when he travelled. No, I've got it -- they stopped having marital relations because it was a naughty thing to do. Yeah, that's the ticket.

The list of excuses I've seen to get around this plainly stated fact is simply amazing!

Amazing isn't it? Determining his wife is dead. Then it's wrong to follow Jesus. Next they stopped having marital relations because it was naughty. All from this clearly stated verse:

Matt.8:14

[14] And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

I suspect it is NOT God's Word they follow. Rather it is the word of some fallible mortal who's got a different "religion" and tradition going on.
