The Gift of Hunger

The hierarchy of the church never ceases to amaze me. The current way to defend a celibate clergy is to couch it in "the gift of celibacy." Sounds good, but what does it mean. Is it a special gift from God, not available, obviously to the married? Do we marrieds have the gift of sexual thoughts, desires, and action? But the church says sex is ONLY for procreation and "unity."

Now apparently the point is that those who have the "gift of celibacy" can devote more time to finding God. Okay, I might buy that to a degree. But what about the "gift of hunger?" Certainly most people spend more time eating and snaking than involved in sex. Does God give some men the "gift" of not being hungry, so those who get the "gift" can more fully contemplate God?

  1. Maybe, Me and you, I mean you and I, could help the hierarchy of the church somewhat.

    OK! Take "IT" away Phil.......!

    Hey! My name is not Phil Jack!

    >>The current way to defend a celibate clergy is to couch it in "the gift of celibacy." Sounds good, but what does it mean?<<

    Every so often while I'm praying at home or in church I get an urge to couch and my mind tells me that I must not let that gift out, so I hold it inside of me secure in one of my cells. Sometimes I couch it in so much that "IT literally brings tears to my eyes.

    >>Is it a special gift from God, not available, obviously to the married?<<

    I met an older brother of a friend of mine while on our right to life walk whom I hadn't seen for more than forty years and I still remembered his name cause his little brother lent me his skates when I was younger and could I ever go with them.

    What does that got to do with what I'm talking about?

    I don't know but this guy was married, had a priest collar on and said he was a Deacon.

    >>Do we married have the gift of sexual thoughts, desires, and action?<<

    You can bet we have Jack and if we worked at "IT" I'm sure that we could learn to "Master IT!"

    >But the church says sex is ONLY for procreation and "unity."<

    That just goes to show how much the church really knows Jack. For example here in Canada, there are all kinds of standards and if you want to get married to another guy, there's even some courses given and I ask you how can another guy procreate with himself? Ok they could be half right "unity" might find it's way in there somewhere.

    >>Now apparently the point is that those who have the "gift of celibacy" can devote more time to finding God.<<

    I can see where Jesus was coming from there because I helped my wife raise five beautiful girls and they only locked me UP four times. Jesus loved woman and He was a "Fruit" so we know He also loved men but we all know that "IT" was spiritual right Jack and not just 180 degree action?

    >>Certainly most people spend more time eating and snaking than involved in sex.<<

    Speak for yourself Jack, just cause you might be too old to cut the mustard seed and lost the spiritual "gift of hunger" does not mean every other body has?

    >>Does God give some men the "gift" of not being hungry, so those who get the "gift" can more fully contemplate God?<<

    Jack! You're not French, are you?:)

    Look Jack, All kidding aside which you know is not possible with me, we're all God's Children and we are all "ONE" Body in Christ. We are humans and not snakes in the grass who can, I've heard procreate by themselves. We all need each others parts.

    I recall while I was selling Real Estate and a Major who was selling with me called me an old "Cock" and that's the way I understood "IT" to mean at the time and so I told him not to call me that again. He never did but he did tell me that it was a complement in England.

    Anyway what I'm trying to politely
    say is that all parts should work together as ONE Body and not just to get her cause we all have a job to do if we want to live life to the fullest. Eve will eventually come in "Time" and we might procreate if it's God's Will that we do so again in The Garden of Eden. I'm sure that you would agree with me that the penis is not meant for any jackAss.

    God only knows why I've opened UP for you so much and not for Jeff but I've got to go now cause my loving wife is calling me for supper.

    I hear ya! That Jeff gets all the breaks but then again, no body love me like you do Victor! :)

    God Bless,

    Peace

  8. If one can remain celibate without loss of sanity, then one has truly received a "gift."
