WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE ONE WIFE BE IT A BISHOP OR A DEACON- 1 TIMOTHY chapter 3

WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE ONE WIFE BE IT A BISHOP OR A DEACON- 1 TIMOTHY chapter 3

Non Catholics just to attack the Catholic Church with their Bishopric and Priests

will not spare the celebacy stand that the Catholic Chruch imposed on the priesthood,

through an ECCLESIASTICAL LAW made by a POPE.

they contend that our BISHOP'S AND PRIEST MUST BE MARRIED according to what the bible said- oh yeah! let us

find out if they understood a very simple verse that only requires a minimum of intelligence -and common sense.


We must put into mind those attacking this gift of GOD to his church do not even
have bishops or priest to talk about-

Billy Graham even commented that God knows who to give this wonderful gift and will receive
it wholeheartedly.

he went further that it drains so much on the coffers of their fellowship providing for
the families of retired Pastors -sending to school their children and providing for the
upkeep of their families.

I remember watching EWTN- THE CONGREGATION OF MOTHER THERESA providing shelter and food
and care to retired , divorced and penniless pastors - what I saw was the old pastor being
hand fed by a sister- he was old and sick- he even apologized for when he was young-he said
too many things against the church that were not even true. Praise God -

"anything you did to the least of my brethren you did it unto me-Matthew 25"

Joel always quotes this- I wonder why? He is not even honest enough to say what fellowship he is
in right now- nor talk about doctrines that they have- he is always in the attack mode saying too many
things and now one by one he is being refuted and still he does not have nor answers any of the questions
that are raised or refutes that we made. I wonder too- if his fellowship does have bishops and priests
what use will you have to raise an issue when you have none of it-

Paul said you cannot give what you do not have-

why compare when you do not have it in you?

So it just boils down to their number one doctrine- as all other Anti-Catholics have as their numero uno
doctrine- validating their existence at the expense of the CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Doctrine number one- "THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS THIS AND THE CATHOLIC IS THAT"- THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IN ALL OF THEM.


TIM STAPLES

a convert to Catholiscm and was an avid anti-Catholic and whose only dream in life was to be a BAPTIST PASTOR

with a wife playing the piano by the side in his chapel, told me- "I began to realize that we were all
HIDING behind the shadow of the Catholic Church" - read this in the book "SURPRISED BY THE TRUTH"

To keep us afloat we had to argue and continously argue against the CATHOLIC CHURCH-
Like Islam- all they ever wanted was the world to recognize prophet Mohammed like JESUS CHRIST who has so much

influenced the world.


1 TIMOTHY 3:1-12 "If someone aspires to the overseer's (bishop) ministry, he is without a doubt looking for a

noble task. It is necessary that the overseer be beyond reproach , "THE HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE"...........
AND A DEACON MUST BE HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE"

THIS SIMPLY MEANS THAT IF THEY WERE ORDAINED TO THE POSITION OF BEING A BISHOP OR A DEACON AND THEY ARE
MARRIED. THAT IS THE ONLY WIFE THAT THEY WILL HAVE IN THEIR LIFETIME- IF SHE DIES- THEY CAN NO LONGER RE-MARRY

COMMON SENSE- I AM NOT A BISHOP AND A DEACON- I AM JUST A LAY PRACTICING CATHOLIC. WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
DOES NOT CONCERN ME- DOES IT MEAN I CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE TWO THREE FOUR OR MAYBE MORE WIVES IN MY LIFE????

COMPRENDE JOEL???

NOW VERSE 6 "he must not be a recent convert, lest he become conceited........."

IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

A PRIEST CAN NOT MARRY- WHILE A MARRIED MAN CAN BECOME A PRIEST

There are many converts and clergies of various protestant sects who are married and are now priests
in the Catholic Church- one is FR RUTLER- HE IS GOOD AND HIS PHILISOPHY IS SUPERB.

The condition imposed to these converts is that they too cannot re-marry if they are widowed and they
will never be promoted to the position of a bishop.

Now - there are many many convert of the ANGLICAN CHURCH coming into the Catholic Church now and the VATICAN
had to put up a Department to study and accomodate them.

There are many bishops of the ANGLICAN CHURCH WHO ARE COMING IN TOO- millions of their members the news says.

It is for the POPE NOW TO STUDY THE MATTER ON THE BISHOPS OF THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF ENGLAND.

AFTERALL- HE CAN DO WHATEVER THERE IS TO BIND AND LOOSE- CHRIST GAVE HIS OFFICE THAT AUTHORITY. AMEN
