The only ones who should imitate Jesus are the appointed leaders of the religion.
Everyone has a different purpose. He just wants us to take our lives seriously and focus on staying saved rather than being misled by mindless hedonism
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Matthew 19:12
>I get to frick women bethroned to different men >You need to be celibate
We clearly have a different concept of deserved.
Alright, first off, Mary and Joseph's marriage was arranged by their family. This makes it invalid in the eyes of God
Secondly, Joseph is already a widower with 5 children who clearly has no interest in her as he just left her alone for an entire year.
And lastly, Joseph is an honorable man who tries to divorce Mary in secret for her sake but God says don't.
God didn't do it because he wanted to - but because he needed to. Every other choice is a child born out of wedlock and with a father to protect and guide the family.
>Alright, first off, Mary and Joseph's marriage was arranged by their family. This makes it invalid in the eyes of God
Wait, so it's fine in the eyes of God to cheat if the marriage is arranged? Nice! >Secondly, Joseph is already a widower with 5 children who clearly has no interest in her as he just left her alone for an entire year.
That's the Catholic interpretation. The Orthodox interpretation is that at least some (don't remember if all) brothers of Jesus were born to Joseph and Mary and that they simply had sex without the feelings of lust. >And lastly, Joseph is an honorable man who tries to divorce Mary in secret for her sake but God says don't.
Why did he say "Don't." if the marriage was arranged and thus invalid? >God didn't do it because he wanted to - but because he needed to. Every other choice is a child born out of wedlock and with a father to protect and guide the family.
He could have at least waited until they actually married so that the situation was less awkward for the both of them.
>Paul (Cessation, Humble, Small, Exalted etc.) preference verse. >Ecclesiastes love wife verse. >God put together means that God did it so you wouldn't crash out your lane verse
Reminder that being in a wrong marriage means that lust did it which means it was nothing but fornication the whole time.
When you get "married" to your wife, you are actually both becoming brides of Jesus. Death do is part etc means that in heaven you will not love your actual wife, but love Jesus as his wife. You'll love Jesus and God so much you'll spend eternity kneeling and worshipping his celestial throne.
It's so fricking gay and cucked. troony schizo religion.
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,” declares the Lord.
Does it say that in the bible?
Jesus did not have a wife and child. Why not imitate Jesus?
Jesus said to do what he said not do what he did

You don't know that. We know nearly nothing concrete about him outside of the facts that: a) he was born; b) he was crucified.
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Matthew 19:12
No. Jesus encourages the faithful not to be obsessed by romantic relationships, but he never explicitly forbids having a wife.
>Be yahweh
>Frick mary without marrying her
>Demand that all your followers be incels
Kinda based ngl.
>incels
*volcels
If you're threatened with magic lava it ain't voluntary.
There's a difference between a threat and something deserved

If it was invalid Joseph wouldn’t have had the ability to divorce her.
>Omnipotent god
