Men who renounce marriage for the kingdom of Heaven; i.e. who are actively working some ministry. It has nothing to do with "marrying" Christ.Glenn E.

Neither state is more sanctified or holy than the other. Same chapter vs 32-34 talk about the differences between single hood and marriage, with respect to the matter of dedicated devotion to the Lord. Which avenue one chooses is between that person and Christ, but an idol can easily be made out of either state of being (marriage or single hood). <br /><br />Forbidding marriage is a doctrine of demons (1 Tim 4:3). Furthermore, Scripture also says 1 Cor 7:9 it is best to marry if one does not have self control.<br /><br />That said, if one is single for Christ, like you said, there's nothing mystical about it, and it certainly does not require any special vows. <br /><br />Obviously, the RCC 's teaching in these matters is askew. This ceremony is bizarre for sure. No individual human being can "marry" Christ. The true church is His bride, but it is comprised of all born-again believers from the entire church age. <br /><br />I did find the woman's last comment in the article puzzling.<br /><br />-CarolynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
