Peter was married, and he didn't seem to have any trouble at all getting a lot of ministry. As I recall, 8,000 people came to the Lord through him in a short time.

Later in his life he went on to write two more books of canon. There's no telling how much happened by God's doing through him which we don't even know about

So to suggest that an unmarried person is "more used of God" than a married, is preposterous. Paul was making a suggestion, and THAT'S ALL HE CALLED IT. He didn't pass an edict.

In my opinion, a married man makes a better minister than an unmarried man. Because many of the unmarried ministers I've met were distracted with finding the future Mrs. Maybe that's why the catholics take their silly vows, but be that as it may, it certainly hasn't made the catholic church more fruitful or productive than ANY OTHER.

And by the way, whoever it was that suggested that I called Jesus' sinlessnes stupid, clearly didn't read my post at all.

You have repeatedly stated that Peter was married. Yes,we all know that he was married at one time since he did have a mother-in-law. However,his wife may have predeceased her mother. My mother-in-law lived 20 years after my husband died.

If you notice none of the Gospels state that any Apostle was married or had a wife. I think that is very telling,don't you?

There is nothing in Scripture which indicates that his wife was still alive when he was called by Christ.
