Paul himself was not a bishop, nor ever called himself one. He was simply stating the standard of God for anyone who sought the office or position of a bishop. 1 Timothy 3 explains it pretty clearly, he MUST be married to a WOMAN, he MUST have children, because if he can't properly run his home, how can he run the church? Secondly, how can a church leader/counselor who is NOT married counsel someone with marital problems? They can't! How can someone who does NOT have children help a mother/father who is having issues in the raising of their children? THEY CAN'T. Sure, it is better if you can be celibate and serve the church as Paul, in the eyes of Paul (remember he said, I say this NOT of commandment), but DON'T try to wear the title of BISHOP if you don't fit the qualifications. I've heard Catholics tell me that the bishop is married, to the church and his children are the members of the church, and if he were to marry a woman he would be in polygamy. They seem to forget that the Church is the bride of Christ, and if that is their logic then the Church is caught in the act of polygamy. Catholicism goes so far off from the bible in so many area's. They call priests "father" when Christ said not to. They forbid bishops to marry, when scripture says they must be, they pray through the "saints" when scripture says Christ is our ONLY intercessor. They say that a "saint" is a dead follower of Christ who performed a miracle, in the bible a saint was a follower of Christ. Wake up to the truth Catholics! Time is short, and this false doctrine won't save you in the day of Judgment! Paul would not be a hypocrite, he was giving Godly orders to position in the church.

Catholicism goes so far off from the bible in so many area’s. They call priests “father” when Christ said not to. They forbid bishops to marry, when scripture says they must be, they pray through the “saints” when scripture says Christ is our ONLY intercessor. They say that a “saint” is a dead follower of Christ who performed a miracle, in the bible a saint was a follower of Christ.

Wake up to the truth Catholics! Time is short, and this false doctrine won’t save you in the day of Judgment!
