Bible Question (short): To Marry or Burn?? |
Question (full): I am personally having a difficult time relating I Cor. 7:7-8 to Gen. 2:18. I Cor. tends to indicate that maybe it is best to remain single. My foundation is in Gen. God instituted marriage BEFORE the fall of man; while everything was still in it's perfect fourm; before the adversary decided to become a living hemorrhoid, God said that it is not good for man to be alone. There was no lust to worry about, no passion to consider. Did something change between Gen. and I Cor.?? And if not, why is it best to remain single?? The CurtMan |
