Until Jesus Christ, celibacy was virtually unknown. Our Lord's celibacy revealed the essence of His mission, and manifested Him as the Bridegroom of the Church.

Celibate
It's good to see an article stating that celibacy is indeed a gift! Unfortunately, celibacy seems to be looked down on in our culture, even by Christians. Some people seem to think that there must be something wrong with you if you want to be celibate or if you're celibate, you must think it makes you better than anyone else. But this is not true. I'm happy to be celibate, not because it's some kind of special privilege but because it's what God made me to be. We all have our own ways of living out our Faith and following Christ.

Celibacy is a great gift .
Yet if I say WHY I am celibit a mass of all churches and denominations
would tell me I a m wrong .
I do have all joy and happy is the one who hears and does JESUS sayings .
You see, many years ago I put away my wife and thus
to remarry is ADULTERY .
And no matter how many folks say , But God gives grace
HE understands if you remarry .
I will simply say , NO. JESUS said all I need to hear and thus obey and honor .

For though GOD does give grace , its not to teach us to Disobey the SON .
It teaches us to obey and Honor the Son and to deny all ungodliness
and wordly lusts and to be living soberly , righteously and godly
in this world as we await the coming of our LORD .
And some may say but God is Love .
YES HE IS , but HIS LOVE don't DENY HIS WORD .
AND the WORD did become flesh
and HE sure did say if a man puts away his wife save for the cause of fornication
or death , and remarries another HE commits adultery .
And whoever marries her that is put away commits adultery .
As paul once said , SO then if while she be married to another man
while her first husband lives , she will be called an adulteress.
I will take Both JESUS and puals word on this .
Now , leap up one and all, and sound out rivers of praise unto the LORD .
