1 | Man Could Have Been Made Solitary | Gen 2:18 | Lionstrong | 48642 | ||
Dear Forum: A Meditation God could have made man a solitary creature. While it was God’s command that man fill the earth and subdue it, he could have made man a solitary creature. Man is not an animal, but he is nonetheless a creature, a creature of body and spirit. God made some creatures without bodies. They are only spirits (like God is). The Bible calls these spirits angels. God made some creatures with bodies that are bisexual. They don’t have to mate with another of their kind in order to reproduce. God could have made man’s body that way. He would not have needed another man (a female of the race) in order to reproduce. Man could have been a solitary creature, but God said it was not good that man should be alone. So He made the female of our kind from the body of the first man as a helper, and one suitable to him so that he would not be alone. Peace, |

2 | Alone and loneliness? | Gen 2:18 | Mommapbs | 48961 | ||
Greetings Lionstrong, thank you for the meditation. I appreciate your thinking yet it prompts me to ponder loneliness. God indeed recognized our need for completion, yet how much harder it has become in this fallen world! How do we respond to those who have been called to a "singular life?" How do we respond to those who live in lonely marriages? |

3 | Alone and loneliness? | Gen 2:18 | Lionstrong | 49017 | ||
Dear Momma, Paul wished that all believers were gifted by God to be celibate, just as he and Jesus were. (1 Cor. 7) Celibate believers can devote all their time to the work of the Lord, instead of splitting it between the Lord and their spouse. And like Jesus and Paul, celibate believers would not be alone working with a team. I think it's a shame that believers while waiting for a spouse, waste their singleness when they could be fruitfully using their time for the Lord. Lonely Marriages? I take this to mean an estranged couple. If they are both believers, then they need asked the Lord's help to love each other. And if they are not both believers and the unbeliever wants to leave, then... 1 Cor 7. Peace, |
