No. I was answering the statement that there were no monastic orders at the time of Christ.

Do I think the flesh is DIRTY?????

No! I think it’s beautiful. I ALSO think it’s private, and exclusive. That may be a foreign concept to you. By exclusive, I mean that since God impregnated Mary, then while Mary was alive, no human could come after Him. But apparently the Calvinists think she was just “simple Jewish girl” who was at the sexual service of God, man, whoever.

You don’t get the “consecrated” meaning, do you?

So in other words intercourse with her covenant husband would have soiled her..
