Bible Question:
1. We shall treasure marriage, God ordained it? 2. 1 Corinthians 7:1 became sour because of sin? 3. single or marriage there are problems because the sin? 4. If there is opportunity everybody will like to settle down because that is the instinct of created man from God ? am i right ? Will you agree with me with the questions as above ? |
Bible Answer: Paul says some have the gift of singleness, and some the gift of marriage. It's not necessarily God's will for everybody to get married. Paul did not have to worry about the extra problems and stresses that come with marriage/family. He devoted his entire life to spreading the Word of God. He could not have been such a useful messenger to all of us if he had been married. Don't get me wrong - some people do better as a team, serving God as a couple and a family. Both kinds of people are equally important. It is not a sin to remain single, even your entire life. The most important things in life are not in finding a mate and having children, but in serving God. |
