[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As for the New Testament -- The Old Testament spoke of concubinage. The New Testament could have outright prohibited it, but it did not. The Matthew 19 verses you quoted do not expressly prohibit concubinage. It doesn't even prohibit it indirectly. It speaks only about the heterosexual unification and importance of avoiding frivolous divorce.[/quote] I Corinthians 7:2 says that marriage exists to prevent fornication (this would include prostitutes, obviously) outside marriage. "But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each wife should have her own husband." Then there is the whole Christian tradition of celibacy, so that you can focus on God's work. That's why Catholic monks, priests and nuns are celibate.[/quote]
