Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Prohibir casarse - Es decir, "Se apartarán de la fe a través de la enseñanza hipócrita de aquellos que prohíben casarse"; ver notas en 1 Timoteo 4:2. Esto no significa necesariamente que prohibirían el matrimonio por completo, sino que sería una característica de su enseñanza que el matrimonio estaría "prohibido", ya sea de una clase de personas o de muchas. Ellos "elogian" y "ordenan" el celibato y la virginidad. Considerarían tal estado, para ciertas personas, como más sagrado que la condición de casado, y lo considerarían "tan" santo que prohibirían absolutamente a aquellos que desearan ser más santos entrar en la relación. Es innecesario decir con qué precisión se aplica esto a los puntos de vista del papado con respecto a la pureza comparativa y las ventajas de un estado de celibato, y a su prohibición absoluta del matrimonio del clero. El décimo artículo del decreto del Concilio de Trento, en relación con el matrimonio, mostrará la visión general del papado sobre ese tema. "Cualquiera que diga que el estado matrimonial debe preferirse a un estado de virginidad o celibato, y que no es mejor y más bendecido permanecer en la virginidad o celibato que unirse al matrimonio; ¡que sea maldito! Compare la Teología Moral de Peter Dens, pp. 497-500.
Y ordenando abstenerse de las carnes, ... - La palabra "carne" en las Escrituras, comúnmente denota "comida" de todo tipo; Mateo 3:4; Mateo 6:25; Mateo 10:1; Mateo 15:37. Este era el significado de la palabra cuando se hizo la traducción de la Biblia. Ahora lo usamos, casi exclusivamente, para denotar alimento para animales. La palabra aquí utilizada - βρῶμα brōma - significa, apropiadamente, lo que se come, y puede referirse a carne animal, pescado, fruta o verdura. Sin embargo, a menudo, en el Nuevo Testamento, se emplea particularmente para denotar la carne de los animales; Heb, Mateo 9:1; Mateo 13:9; Romanos 14:15, Romanos 14:2; 1 Corintios 8:8, 1 Corintios 8:13. Como el alimento para animales estaba particularmente prohibido según el código judío, y como las preguntas sobre este tema entre los cristianos se relacionarían con los mismos tipos de prohibición, es probable que la palabra tenga el mismo significado limitado aquí, y debe tomarse como significa lo mismo que la palabra "carne" hace con nosotros.
Prohibir el uso de ciertas carnes se describe aquí como una de las características de aquellos que instruirían a la iglesia en el momento de la gran apostasía. No es necesario suponer que habría una prohibición “completa”, sino solo una prohibición de ciertos tipos y en ciertas estaciones. Es innecesario demostrar que "esta" característica se encuentra en el papado más que en cualquier otro lugar del mundo cristiano. Las siguientes preguntas y respuestas del Catecismo del Dr. Butler mostrarán cuál es el sentimiento de los católicos romanos sobre este tema. “Pregunta: ¿Hay otros mandamientos además de los Diez Mandamientos de Dios? Respuesta: Existen los mandamientos o preceptos de la iglesia, que son principalmente seis. Pregunta: ¿Qué estamos obligados a hacer por el segundo mandamiento de la iglesia? Respuesta: Dar parte del año al ayuno y la abstinencia. Pregunta: ¿Qué quieres decir con días de ayuno? Respuesta: Ciertos días en los que se nos permite una sola comida y “carne de carne prohibida”.
Pregunta: ¿Qué quieres decir con días de abstinencia? Respuesta: Ciertos días en los que se nos prohíbe comer carne de carne; pero se les permite la cantidad habitual de comidas. Pregunta: ¿Está estrictamente prohibido por la iglesia comer carne en días de abstinencia? Respuesta: sí; y comer carne en cualquier día en que esté prohibido, sin necesidad y salir de la iglesia, es muy pecaminoso ". ¿Podría haber un comentario más impresionante y sorprendente sobre lo que dice el apóstol aquí, que "en los últimos días algunos se apartarían de la fe, bajo la enseñanza hipócrita de aquellos que ordenaron abstenerse de las carnes?" La autoridad reclamada por el papado para emitir "órdenes" sobre este tema, se puede ver aún más por el siguiente extracto del mismo catecismo, que muestra el amable permiso de la iglesia a los "fieles". “La abstinencia del sábado se prescinde, para los fieles de todo Estados Unidos, por el espacio de diez años (desde 1833), excepto cuando cae un ayuno un sábado. El uso de carne de carne está permitido actualmente por dispensación en el diócesis de Filadelfia, todos los domingos de Cuaresma, excepto el Domingo de Ramos, y una vez al día los lunes, martes y jueves de cada semana, excepto los jueves después del Miércoles de Ceniza, y también exceptuando la Semana Santa ". ¡Tal es la religión católica romana! Véase también la Teología Moral de Peter Dens, págs. 321-330. Es cierto que lo que se dice aquí "podría" aplicarse a los esenios, como supone Koppe, o a los maestros judaizantes, pero se aplica de manera más apropiada y completa a la comunión papal que a cualquier otro cuerpo de hombres que profesen el cristianismo, y que sean tomados en cuenta. En relación con las otras características de la apostasía, no cabe duda de que la referencia es a eso.
que Dios ha creado - Los artículos de comida que ha hecho y que ha diseñado para alimentar al hombre. El hecho de que Dios los "creó" era una prueba de que no debían considerarse como malvados, y que no debía considerarse como un deber religioso abstenerse de ellos. Todo lo que "Dios" ha hecho es bueno en su lugar, y lo que está adaptado para ser alimento para el hombre no debe ser rechazado o prohibido; compare Eclesiastés 5:18. No puede haber ninguna duda de que en la apostasía a la que se hace referencia aquí, esas cosas estarían prohibidas, no porque fueran perjudiciales o hirientes en su naturaleza, sino porque podrían formar parte de un sistema de religión de justicia propia y porque podría estar relacionado con tal prohibición la creencia de un mérito especial.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verso 1 Timoteo 4:3 . Prohibición de casarse... Estos sacerdotes hipócritas pretendían que una vida soltera era mucho más favorable a la devoción y a la perfección de la vida cristiana. Este sentimiento era sostenido por los esenios, una secta religiosa entre los judíos; y sabemos que es una opinión favorita entre los romanistas, que obligan a todos sus clérigos a vivir una vida soltera mediante un voto de continencia.
Abstenerse de carnes... Tanto entre los paganos, como entre los judíos y los romanistas, se prohibían ciertas carnes; algunas siempre, otras en momentos determinados. Esto el apóstol nos informa que era directamente contrario al designio original de Dios; y dice que los que conocen la verdad, lo saben.
