Bgood wrote:10His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.BurningSword wrote:Fundamentally the question is not "What proof do we have that Jesus was married ?" But rather, "where is there any proof that celibacy was a doctrinal law of God?”
Celibacy can be for sake of kingdom of heaven, as did Jesus perform in his mission of that time as it was necessary not to be defiled with women and remain without that impurity, reason for saying that look to revelation. Lust overtakes a man easily once they cling to a women but such is known of God and suffered for man is fallen and even their love has lust. But even so those whom find love and cling together as one flesh if married must honor the vows lest they commit adultery.
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 2And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 4These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
This is the revelation I speak of, Jesus fulfilled also this as did those of the 144,000 such a mystery was not necessary for all mankind to know, reason it says what it says. People are not understanding whom Jesus is I feel that is why they try to bring him down to the human understanding but whom he really is isn't understood by minds of men.
In the Bible or the BOM Is there any proof that celibacy was a doctrinal law of God?[/quote]
Pray about it and let Spirit of truth reveal to you why Jesus said the scripture I just posted.
