Nuns Married To God?

Nuns Married To God? 

How is it possible that a lady is to marry God? A supernatural deity? Whether or not the followers of Christ worship a human God that created the universe or assume he was just a Prophet sent for Israel. A Catholic nun is a woman who lives as a contemplative life in a monastery which is usually cloistered (or enclosed) or semi-cloistered. Her ministry and prayer life is centered within and around the monastery for the good of the world. She professes the perpetual solemn vows living a life according to the evangelical counsels of poverty, celibacy, and obedience. She's also allegedly married to God. Christians will love to admit that their religion does not permit nor accept polygamy and mumble utter gibberish about a wife and a husband sharing one soul. There will still be a fair share of those who will deny everything stated on this website to be misinterpreted or such things are not being practiced or were "practices of the past." But if the non-bible reading Christians have ever visited a church you must have come across a particular group of females called nuns. (Click here for Polygamy In The Bible)

Who are allegedly married to Jesus/God (I thought he was divine and does not depend on a wife?) According to Pew research there are currently 49,883 nuns in the United States only. (1)  Their numbers are also greatly shrinking. Christians will refer to the “Married to Jesus/god is only a metaphor for the time!” Yet their own very nuns have learned and declare otherwise that they are indeed in a relationship/married to Jesus/God.(2) (3) (4) (5) But isn't there supposed to be some certification or contract to prove one’s marriage ? Are the nuns indeed committing a sin for participating in a relationship? What kind of Jesus/God is fallible enough to even be held accountable against the very own sins he created? 

For more about nuns... The institution of nuns and sisters, who devote themselves in various religious orders to the practice of a life of perfection, dates from the first ages of the Church, and women may claim with a certain pride that they were the first to embrace the religious state for its own sake, without regard to missionary work and ecclesiastical functions proper to men. Saint. Paul speaks of widows, who were called to certain kinds of church work (1 Timothy 5:9), (1 Corinthians 7), whom he praises for their continence and their devotion to the things of the Lord. The women who save themselves from men were remarkable for their perfect and perpetual chastity which the Catholic Apologists have extolled as a contrast to pagan corruption (St. Justin, "Apol.", I, c. 15; Migne, "P.G.", VI, 350; St. Ambrose, "De Virginibus", Bk. I, C. 4; Migne, "P.L.", XVI, 193). Many also practiced poverty. From the earliest times they were called the spouses of Christ, according to Saint. Athanasius, the custom of the Church ("Apol. ad Constant.", sec. 33; Migne, "P.G.", XXV, 639). St. Cyprian describes a virgin who had broken her vows as an adulteress ("Ep. 62", Migne, "P.L.", IV, 370). Tertullian distinguishes between those who took the veil publicly in the assembly of the faithful, and others known to God alone; the veil seems to have been simply that of married women. Nuns vowed to the service of God, at first continued to live with their families, but as early as the end of the third century there were community houses known as partheuones; and certainly at the beginning of the same century the nuns formed a special class in the Church, receiving Holy Communion before the laity. The office of Good Friday in which the nuns are mentioned after the porters, and the Litany of the Saints, in which they are invoked with the widows, shows traces of this classification. They were sometimes admitted among the deaconesses for the baptism of adult women and to exercise the functions which St. Paul had reserved for widows of sixty years.The nuns of Egypt and Syria cut their hair, a practice not introduced until later into the West. Monasteries of women were generally situated at a distance from those of men; Saint. Pachomius insisted on this separation, also Saint. Benedict. There were, however, common houses, one wing being set apart for women and the other for men, more frequently adjoining houses for the two sexes. Justinian abolished these double houses in the East, placed an old man to look after the temporal affairs of the convent, and appointed a priest and a deacon who were to perform their duties, but not to hold any other communication with the nuns.

In Conclusion: Not only does The Bible encourage and permit polygamy without ever once denying such an act. It also contradicts the very fact that God does not have any wives or children. Yet, the nuns are supposedly married to him and Jesus is allegedly his son.... or equal... or a prophet... or all powerful... or God himself for crying out loud.

Ants Have No Commander?

Ants Have No Commander? Although ants are frustrating when they get into your home or  when you’re having a picnic, ants do help the environment. They are social insects, which means they live in large colonies or groups. Depending on the species, ant colonies can consist of millions of ants. There are three kinds of ants in a colony: The queen, the female workers, and males. The queen and the males have wings, while the workers don’t have wings.   I n The Bible, it asserts that ants have no commander, no overseer or ruler. Despite ants having ant farms where they form a myriad of colonies. “Go to the ant, you sluggard;   consider its ways and be wise!   It has no commander no overseer or ruler    yet it stores its provisions in summer   and gathers its food at harvest.” (Proverbs 6:6:8) According to the Oxford Dictionary, Command is:  Have authority over; be in charge of (a unit) Ants form   colonies   that range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals living

How Old Was Ahaziah?

How Old Was Ahaziah?  If you are still not convinced about the inconsistency regarding the bible’s corruption, maybe this could give you a little hint. In order to cover a contradiction in the bible, the translators will resort to lying. But truth will always stand out from faulty. So now to the question, Was Ahaziah 22 or 42 when he became king? “Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri.” (2 Chronicles 22) “Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.” (2 Kings 8:26) As a matter of fact, let’s take a further look at several of the translations of 2 Chronicles 22. (see here) At face value, it seems to be splendid.  On the contrary, you will be in for a rude awakening.  Both chapters and translations say twenty-two years old. Yet wh

Pagan-Santa Clause!

Pagan-Santa Clause! Was the Grinch who stole Christmas an agnostic?  You might want to cover little Timmy's ears for this one. For those who do not know, the earliest Christians including the Apostles and disciples of Christ never celebrated such an event. Historically absent from any of the four gospel accounts is the mention of a yearly celebration of Jesus’s birth. During Jesus’s ministry, no such celebration is ever recorded.  Christmas  or  Christmas Day  is an annual festival commemorating the birth of  Jesus. O bserved most commonly on the 25th of December  as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. Funny enough, Santa has been google searched more than Jesus for the past eleven years.  Although some Christian groups reject the celebration. Christians themselves cannot admit that he was even born in December. As a matter of fact, The Bible actually contradicts the notion of winter.  The fallacious and logically incoher
