shrimp, I dont believe there is any scripture that refers to nuns in the bible, but I could be wrong. Nuns dedicate their lives to God when they become nuns. They forsake the things of the world, and embrace the things of God. I think a nun can decide when or if to stop being a nun, and go back into the secular world, although most tend to remain nuns for all or most of their lives.
I have seen several too young (and nice looking, btw).
Not all of them were hurt or badly-deeply disappointed to make such A BIG DECISION. I really respect and admire what they chose to live.
Anna (a prophetess in Luke) for me looked like being one like that. She was married for only 7 years and, when her husband died, she served the Lord at the temple.

If you looked inside all the TRADITIONS Catholics have, they will lure you away to believe in SO MANY IDEAS they have (which I don´t recomend).
There was a time I thought I wanted to live a life like that (...) but, the moment I knew I was endangered to believe things I don´t believe I stopped that daydreaming, and it was easy because I have visited one of those places Catholic priests were trained and schooled and I wanted a room-cell, like that, just for me.

Alexander's Hislop's The Two Babylons is a deep study on pagan Catholicism. Starts with the Tower of Babel, Nimrod and his mother Samerimus. He dies and Samerimus declares him and her self a god and goddess. They erected statues of her holding baby Nimrod of which Constantine later changed the names to Mary and Jesus, along with other pagan god statues that were changed to NT saint names.
Every false god and goddess can be traced back to these two.
Nino is just another name such as Baal, bul, bel. One note, Baal is where we get the word bell from. Remember that next time you hear the church bells ringing. Also the steeple is derived from the Tower of Babel. Yep folks, we are drenched in paganism. And when Luther broke away from the Catholic Church, he kept some of the pagan ideas of which he bequeathed to us unto this hour.
Back to niño. The word nun is a derivative of this pagan deity.
I could go on and on here. I wish I could remember everything I studied on the subject.
I know the word Vatican came from the Latin vaticanos which means dwelling place of devils.
The head gear the pope wears came from the fish god I believe the philistine priest wore. The crocodile head had a play in it as well. Maybe Egyptian priests. Gets kinda complicated.
One thing for sure. None of this stuff can be found in the bible. Not even the catholic bible.

yes they are in the Bible
in the pagan temples they had priestesses who were part of the ceremonies and who supplied the priests with spiritual sexual acts during services. They are part of Babylon pagan mythology religion.
There is no place for nuns in Gods true religion however.
since pagan mythology of Rome is the basis ofconstantines church, they took the temple priestesses and continued them as nuns and the jobs are relatively unchanged.
If you follow the Bible for the religion of God, there is no nuns in the christian church.

Thank you all for some interesting information. I have never been interested about becoming a nun. I was just thinking about it and wondered if this was something that God set and approves of. I will look into what you all have said. Please do not hesitate to share more if you remember something or find something.
I have heard some of the convents are kind of bad. Some confessions of nuns will tell you that, by been locked in cells for refusing advances from priests who go there for confession. I was a few weeks away from been born in one, some let pregnant teenagers stay there till their babies go for adoption. My mother got out after a few days she said it was not very nice. They made heavily pregnant girl get up at 5.00am to scrub floors.
no Scriptures referring to nuns. However there are Scriptures referring to those who are celebate, choosing to serve God. The Catholic religion calls those women who decide to join their institute to be celibate and to serve only God, Nuns. The Catholic religion calls those men who decide to join their institute to be celibate and to serve only God, Monks/priests. i am a celibate man of over 6 years now, and serve only God. i am not a monk or a priest because i am not a member of the Catholic Church. Nuns are those women who choose to be celibate, serve God, and a member of the Catholic Church.

There's not paganism i nit.
This guy is totally confused. Nimrod is not the son of Samerimus.
That makes no sense, at all. Gods and goddesses exists throughout the world long before these two separate myths developed.
Do you actually believe that? Do people believe anything? Baal is a Babylonian word. Bell comes from the word Bellan from the Saxons. The Saxons did not even know who Baal was.
The reasoning behind this being... nothing? Steeples come from the use of bells, which chimed to let people know when services would begin. This was in the days before watches.
You are all over the place and not substatiating your claims.
When people go around making claims like this, what they fail to realize in creating this myths is that the world does not revolve around English. Bell... that's kinda like Baal... so bells must be pagan! Well, bell does not look like Baal in other languages, so there is no connection.
Vatican comes from the name of the hill in Rome where the office of the Pope is. It was the location of the tomb of Peter. It has nothing to do with devils.
