Celibacy And Chastity

[Tab'le De'Bah-Rye]

May the love of Christ consume you all.

 

So someone said to me on here this year that i was wrong with my understanding of what celibacy and chastity when i was going on about married couples taking a vow of chastiy/celibacy and the person tried to tell me there different. But anyways it popped into my head last night so i got out the Collins Pocket English Dictionary and here is it's meanings of Chastity and Celibate.

 

CELIBATE : 1. Unmarried or abstaining from sex, esp. because of a religious vow of chastity.

 

CHASTE : 2.Abstaining from sex outside of marriage or altogether. 2.(of style) simple.

 

 

So to the person that reckoned my using of the chastity word for married couples that choose to take a personal vow to not have sex ALTOGETHER was wrong, now you know. :)

 

 

Onward Christian souls.

 

Jesus is LORD.
