Eh no, not what i meant.
The first line in your post that i replied to was this.
Everyone that is single should be celibate according to the Bible.
Im talking about the priests having sex with kids. You know, catholic priests who are single? The ones the biggest pedophile club in the World protect, the Vatican? None of them are celibate, they've had sex with kids. Shows how much they believe in the bible doesn't it.

I honestly thought both you and visitedbythem were both middle aged women……….
My God! And you got more stars than anyone. Did everything think I was a middle-aged woman?! Hahahah...that's hilarious. Why? I'm so curious now. At least tell me you thought I was a lesbian. The hilarious thing about that is that I thought the same thing of visitedbythem! Hahahah...you can't write this stuff.

30 years. Beat that, ahem, no pun intended!
but then I'm not someone who interacts with people on a social level on purpose. Not in real life, anyway. I have no desire to take any ol' opportunity to do it, never have.
And never met anyone on a connection level that would have felt right to spend a night with.
I'm ok with it. never understood why it was so important anyway, there is always mrs palemer or your female equivalent should that need hastened to be met. And really, every time I hear about people with active sex lives, it's always about them, and not much more, so it might as well just be VR and some kleenex.

Uncontrolled sexual impulse is the most destructive force on the planet imo.
Sexual energy sublimation and abstinence is perhaps the most important key to mastering self and getting closer to God.
Everyone should do it. At least intermittently.
I'm on day 32 right now. I've been practicing on and off for about 2 years now. Difficult as I have a sexy wife who is always walking around the apartment naked. But she has learned temperance as well.
A technique I discovered to tame the dragon is to keep your pc muscles clenched, focus your Chi at your tailbone for a while and then direct it up your spine.
Its a lifesaver when my Wife walks by en cuero after showering, lol

Everyone that is single should be celibate according to the Bible. And if you are married you are commanded to take care of your mate's sexual desires and needs. Unfortunately this world is filled with sexual immorality, any form of sex act outside the holy bond of matrimony between a man and a woman. How sad it must make God to see humankind abuse the wonderful gift of sex the way they do. And how happy it must make the opposer of humankind, Satan the Devil. God's patience is indeed great.
I know many Christians who remain celibate if they do not marry. You are not alone. Of course even Paul said it is a gift that not all have.
Really?
Tell that to the priests
Actually this is what the Bible says:
"A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach."-1 Timothy 3:2.
The teaching of celibacy in the Church is not Biblical. As you can see here it even commands that the overseer, or bishop, is to be married to one wife.
Anyway the next chapter tells you where the teaching of celibacy in the clergy comes from:
"The inspired word clearly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired statements and teachings of demons...They forbid marriage."-1 Timothy 4:1, 3.

Oh, yeah of course. That is definitely where you can see where those Biblical commands come in. Why do you think there is such a high prevalence of child abuse and homosexuality among the clergy? It is no doubt in large part because of their adherence to celibacy among themselves. This demonic teaching has overrun the Church and wrecked havoc with the lives of so many. There is NO DOUBT it is a demonic teaching.
If you see those scripture again it says that the bishop of the congregation was to be married to one wife, and it also said that demonic teachings would forbid marriage. There is nothing wrong with what the OP said, voluntary celibacy. But teaching that you have to be celibate to be part of the clergy (which in and itself is wrong, that is the distinction between a laity and clergy, in the Bible a bishop, or overseer was just another brother who had the spiritual qualifications to help the congregation spiritually) goes beyond the command of scripture.
It is no doubt in large part because of their adherence to celibacy among themselves.

So celibacy among priests is a demonic teaching according to you.
WHAT THE PRIESTS AND VATICAN ARE DOING IS DEMONIC.
They have a brain they know full well what they are doing is the most evil crime one can commit one a child.
Your reply is a feeble attempt at a cop out.
It is no doubt in large part because of their adherence to celibacy among themselves.
So by that analogy, the OP of this thread has a high chance of becoming a pedophile. And anyone else practicing celibacy.
Before a man becomes a priest he is already attracted to children. He doesn't become so because he cant have sex. Thats a ridiculous reasoning.
Its a sexual trait they already were.
They can go use a prostitute, but they choose to rape children.
Please dont make any feeble excuses for pedophiles, its disgusting
