1 corinthians 7

k so I was also reading 1 cor lately and noticed these few verses. Then I read sue’s blog how does it feel to be different from me?  and I agreed with a lot of it. Not saying I hate marrige or anything cause I think its great, but why does everyone just expect everyone who’s anyone to get hitched? I do think that marrige in the way God intended it to be is amazing. But what about those people who don’t meet the one their meant for? Are there people ok with just not being married? 1 cor 7:1 says”….it is good for a man not to marry. But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.” vs 9 “but if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.” I feel like paul is saying that it is good to not marry but if you find someone you wan2 marry–by blessing not seeking lol–then by all mean marry cause that is a Gift that God has given you (if it is pure as God intended)  so If you find someone sweet! but other than that who says you should marry, if you keep devoted to jesus that’s all that matters. vs 7 “I wish that all men were as I am (not married) But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.” so marraige is still a gift but one where others (certain people) can do fine without. And we need to see that Paul was fully devoted to christ so because he was not married he used this to devote everything he had to christ.

so people need to quit their ridiculous searching and try to make themselves strong enough to devote all of themselves to a life of singlehood : ) and if God blesses you with a spouse all the better. Thanks sue for your point : )

 

and where did you get the vs about-act like your not married? cause I looked for it and couldn’t find it. but i could very well be just retarded.
