If God didn't want us to be categorizers, He wouldn't have given us brains.

1Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
You are judging to the letter of the Law but not the Spirit of the Law. IF God judges them to be pure as virgins, who are you to disagree with Him? Though your sins be as scarlet, He will cleanse to the uttermost. Adam and Eve had brains but they erred. The Pharisee religious leaders had brains, they categorized the adulteress to be stoned, but Jesus ruled otherwise. Technically they were correct but their hardened hearts gave no room for leniency or mercy. Do you want mercy at the Judgement Seat?

What does that have to do with "categories" in general? I certainly see the wisdom in all the Scriptures you quoted. I just don't see the relevance to the discussion.

I must have missed something.

I didn't say a word against non-virgin, non-widow Christian women. The Catholic Church says they can be Consecrated Women. For that matter, they can be Saints.

You got a problem with that?
