Palladin: “I still maintain that in all likelihood Peter was not celibate until after the Crucifixion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus.”
Pure speculation. All Scripture says is that he had a mother-in-law. This is a manmade interpretation.
“You young seminarians are so brainwashed nowadays. Try to think for yourself.”
I’m not a seminarian. I’m married for 30 years. Stop reading things into texts. You speculate wildly. You created a huge manmade myth about me, based on zero evidence.
“Marital sex is good. God made it that way.”
I never said otherwise. Abstinence from sex has NOTHING to do with sex not being good. By your stupid reasoning, anyone who diets does so because food is EEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVIIIIIIIILOLLLLL. You are a fool, Boy.
“A celibate clergy is a manmade concept....observed only in the breach in countries like Mexico, Spain, Italy, and all over Africa.”
It’s not a manmade CONCEPT. Read Matthew 19, for once, Boy. The concept comes from Jesus himself, explicitly. Rather than your manmade speculations and inventions, I have explicit Scripture behind the idea of abstaining.
“Widen your horizons, boy, and do a little more outside reading.”
Shut your trap, Boy.
“Or do you still adhere to the Index of Forbidden Books?”
Have you stopped beating your wife or screwing goats?
My, my, how very unChristlike of you.
