1 | Was Paul single or married? | 1 Cor 7:8 | bronx hulk | 91527 | ||
I've got a historical question that I'd like to throw out there. It is understood in scripture that Paul was not married. As he said in 1 Corin 7:7 he would that all men would be as he was. Being single is implied here. Now, Paul as we know was Saul of Tarsus who was a Pharisee. My understanding of the Pharisees is that in order to be a Pharisee, you must be married. So either I'm wrong in assuming that Paul was a Pharisee, wrong in assuming that you must be married to be a Pharisee or I'm misreading the scripture. Does anyone know where I could find an answer? |

2 | Was Paul single or married? | 1 Cor 7:8 | Burning Bush | 91791 | ||
Bronx, It is thought that Paul was a widower.Paul believed that if single, one would have more time to devote to the Lord.Scripture is not clear in whether or not Paul was married or not. Its important to know whether God wants people to remain single. The sex drive is a powerful thing and could lead to sin. | ||||||
3 | Was Paul single or married? | 1 Cor 7:8 | bronx hulk | 91974 | ||
Thanks, Being a widower would make the most sense of the whole thing. I understand how God views marriage. If you can remain single and avoid fornication and lust, then do so, but if not, then it is better to be married. It is a very simple understanding. It seems that my original question went off on a tangent. But you answered it here. Thanks, Sal |

I would be very interested in sending you a study bible. The John MacAuthur Study Bible, in the New King James Version if you give me an address to mail it to. And maybe anyother book you may desire if my pockets allow it. I made a reference to a book that you probably do not have and can not obtain easily. My apologies. At the very lest, I can put that book in your hands. Contact me at The CurtMan000@AOL.Com. I can check with some other brothers and sisters who make a ministry out of putting the right resources in the hands who desire it. If it be the Lords will, we can probably send an entire libary to Italy. The CurtMan |

Curtman, Thank you so much for your willingness to serve!! It really is a blessing to know that a complete stranger is willing to do stuff for me. Burning bush gave me a website to go to. I think I'll check it out. It should have all the materials I would need. I'll keep you in mind if I can't find anything I'm looking for. By the way, if you want anything from Italy let me know. I can get my hands on some pretty good chocolate and coffee. Your brother, Sal |

Ciao, Sal. Why don't we have an Italian chocolate and coffee night here on the forum sometime? I'll chip in a couple of bucks. Are greenbacks still good over there in Italy? They certainly were years ago when I was there. I enjoy your posts and especially your fine Christian spirit. Il Dio li benedice. --Hank | ||||||

Hey Hank, How would that work? I'm up for it. Dollars are good only in a few places. Now that the lire is gone, it's all Euro. I'm not sure if we should correspond like this on here. You can email me at salvatore.capaccio@aviano.af.mil Il tuo fratello in Gesu' Salvatore |
