The Acts of the Apostles: Paul as Missionary

From 3 perspectives

* The Biblical worldview

* The Academic/Scholastic

* The Urantia Book

It was only natural that the cult of renunciation and humiliation should have paid attention to sexual gratification. The continence cult in later days it became the practice of "saints."  Many of the world's great religions have been adversely influenced by this ancient cult, but none more markedly than Christianity.

The Apostle Paul was a devotee of this cult, and his personal views are reflected in the teachings which he fastened onto Christian theology.  Paul well knew that such teachings were not a part of Jesus' gospel, and his acknowledgment of this is illustrated by his statement, "I speak this by permission and not by commandment." But this cult led Paul to look down upon women. Furthermore, the involvement of a religion with the ancient continence cult leads directly to a war against marriage and the home, society's veritable foundation and the basic institution of human progress. And it is not to be wondered at that all such beliefs fostered the formation of celibate priesthoods in the many religions of various peoples
