    Celibacy

    Rather then narrowly restricting discussion to the original topic I think it is important to examine the marriage issue from a Biblical perspective. However I don't believe I have anything more to say.

    Of Singleness/Celibacy/Marriage Minded/Sexual Frustration

    Praying for you. I do caution against marrying a woman who is not a Christian as this could shipwreck your faith or create problems living a Christian life. It is also forbidden by scripture.

    Celibacy

    Albion and YESLORDIWILL let me state at the outset that I am not Roman Catholic but probably Charismatic Christian, if a label is helpful.

    Celibacy

In the seventh chapter of First Corinthians St Paul gives some support for this, particularly in verses 32-35...

    Christians and War.

    It seems to me this thread has become somewhat contentious and I will most likely cease any further posts. Constantine, according to tradition, had a dream in which Jesus told him that if he employed the cross he would have victory against a rival contender to the throne of the Roman Empire...
