Gods rules are still Gods rules, they aren’t predicated on our belief.
So he didn’t spend time with prostitutes and all other kinds of sinners?
“Not exactly.”
Yes, exactly - for Christ praised those who chose celibacy for the kingdom of god.
“There is supposed documentation that Christ consorted with known prostitutes. It is “biblical”, by the way.”
Supposed documentation? Christ indeed did minister to sinners including publicans and prostitutes. What of it?
Well, like Obama's rules, God's rules seem to change pretty frequently, as pronounced by people - not God.
Are you saying that in reference to the priests and nuns only? They take a vow to be married to God. Elsewhere in the Catholic church it is very permissible to have many children. At least, I have always understood it to be.
“Really...? I find that hard to believe... Chapter and verse please...”
If you’re a Protestant, you would find it hard to believe because so few Protestants know the Bible. Matthew 19:11-12
Gods rules have never changed. Are you intentionally trying to be offensive to Christians?
Yes, sorry, I did clarify that in a subsequent post.
Christ might have been a real man,or might not have been.
People make things up to make themselves comfortable with their own conditions and existence.
Men have invented thousands of "Gods", "Prophets" and "Sons or daughters of Gods".
Just because you don't like that or it doesn't coincide with your own personal belief system does not mean it is not true.
I don’t get it, what do eunuchs have to do with Protestants?
I don’t think the 10 Commandments have changed.
“Christ might have been a real man,or might not have been.”
There is a great deal of real physical evidence of the actual physical existence of the man known as Jesus Christ. To say otherwise just displays a whole heapful of ignorance.
Its a shame you have to work so hard to attack others.
Hmmmm, what year is this and why?
Is there any scripture that supports God requiring celibacy for the ”shepherds” of his flock?
2 outta 3 aint bad
Yikes. Prepare for shelling :))
“Christ might have been a real man,or might not have been.”
Are you afraid to take a stand on that issue one way or another?
“People make things up to make themselves comfortable with their own conditions and existence.”
Jesus said what He said.
“Men have invented thousands of “Gods”, “Prophets” and “Sons or daughters of Gods”.”
There’s no evidence of that here.
“Just because you don’t like that or it doesn’t coincide with your own personal belief system does not mean it is not true.”
You’re not making sense. I point out that Jesus praised celibacy. Your retort is that Jesus might not have existed...or maybe He did. You then claim people make things up to make themselves feel better. Are you claiming Jesus made something up or that someone made up Jesus?
Most likely your thinking is as muddled as your post.
I have not attacked anybody.
“I don’t get it, what do eunuchs have to do with Protestants?”
Nothing nor did anyone say it did. Do you struggle with basic reading comprehension?
Hey Popman...familiar tags u got there! ;))
