Bible Passage for & against Priests Marrying
I am curious if anybody knows fairly quickly or has seen a list of New Testament passages which support the idea of priests marrying and are against priests marrying?
"He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."
Thomas Paine
"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten."
Ecclesiastes 9:5 (KJV)

"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten."
Ecclesiastes 9:5 (KJV)

Why don't you just use google instead of posting here? Honestly 5 of "frobidding to marry" go me the following
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?bo ... &version=9
1 Timothy 4
1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
If I'm not mistaken this is paul talking about doctrines that started springing up in early congregations.
You can also get one of the old popes speaches on the matter. He quotes some scriptures.

I am the hammer, I am the right hand of my Lord. The instrument of His will and the gauntlet about His fist. The tip of His spear, the edge of His sword. I am His wrath just as he is my shield. I am the bane of His foes and the woe of the treacherous. I am the end.

EDIT: Meant 5 seconds of forbidding to marry.

Actually against priest marrying is fairly easy, what I was trying to find out what most groups would use in favor of marrying.
Most Protestant priests do marry
