Dave in Tenn:
Hi Deftarchangel.  It seems that your concience is weak on this issue.  I'd encourage you when this comes up to do what you think is right.  Whether or not it is a sin in the flesh against God to say the word, you can sin against your concience as well.  Blessed is he who does not condemn himself for what he allows, but to act against what you think in your heart is wrong as well.

I will say this, though.  If a man (or woman) of the 'clergy' were offended by you using their name rather than their title, then the problem is THEIRS and not yours.  That's what I think, anyway.

The Right Reverend Father Master Dave (Rabbi on the Sabbath)  :D

I can believe they instituted the forbidden marriage ban for their own power and wealth. I think the kind of person I am doesn't help me at times. I tend to overlook the bad and focus on the good. Consequently I appear naive' and missing the whole scenario. There is one question though, just because Jesus or someone else(forgot who) said the bishop should have one wife doesn't translate for me, "you HAVE to have a wife. You're a nice guy Joe!!!! Easy to discuss things with.  Judy

Hi Judy,

I believe we are in agreement about the "bishop requirement."  ;)

1Ti 3:2  A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

The part above about "one wife" I am sure means not to have more than one rather than meaning a bishop, teacher or leader must have one.

Thanks for the kind words!

Peace,

Joe
