The next step is growing old together... I think.

What, you thought I was going to say the next step is marriage? Nah, nobody gets married anymore. That's old fashioned, now they just live together until they can't stand each other anymore. :p

Uhh... i'm going with this idea.

Option 1:
I would suggest sending her fifteen dozen roses, maybe hire a jazz band, along with a couple of engagement rings made of liquorice.
...I'm pretty sure you could just send the liquorice though, and that would suffice.:D

Option 2:
Holdup a boombox outside her window for a few hours, proclaiming your love in the pouring rain.

Option 3:
Fight a mountain lion with your bare hands to prove you are a strong and capable suitor. She will give you her handkerchief if she approves, and also to wipe up any blood you may have acquired while fighting the lion. She is thoughtful after all.

Honestly? Not really. I like flying solo. I really don't want children either. I'm alright with having a dog or a pet frog or something.

Buuuuuut, if the right person came along and was really funny and VERY patient, I might consider the idea.

Also, just throwing this out there. I was raised in the Bible Belt. That has a lot of advantages, but one thing I don't like is everyone pushing for marriage and babies right after you graduate. I think I rebelled against that in a sense. There's so much I want to do, and accomplish. But people round these parts don't give a hoot about that. It can lead to some frustration.

What??? :eek:

Did you know that frog legs taste almost like chicken wings? I am not kidding. Oh and once you have de-skinned the frog legs they will look the same as chicken wings. So if the dish is well cooked it is difficult to tell them apart.

Imagine if they used frog legs in your Buffalo wings ... nomnomnom :rolleyes:

I'd just like to say God has made someone for you. God knows we need intimacy wth another human for "He saw that it was not good for Adam to be alone"

Every thread in this forum eventually leads to food...

Frog legs have the texture of chicken and the flavor of fish. If you like chicken and fish you'll like frog legs. If you have never tried it, don't knock it.

Speaking of which... at work (McDonald's) they have oil vats for frying fries and chicken - and then a separate small vat for the fish that goes on the fish sandwiches. If you cook anything else in the oil the fish cook in, it has a fish flavor. So it occurs to me that if you cooked chicken nuggets in the fish vat, it would taste like frog leg nuggets. Never have tried it because I don't like those chicken nuggets, but it's an idea.

Is there any chance that person may be a chief? Because if I don't eat something soon, I'm bound to become feral.

And despite this, Christ Himself said that "there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb," (Matt 19:12). Paul gets even more specific: "Now concerning [the unmarried], I have no commandment from the Lord; yet I give judgement as one whom the Lord in His mercy has made trustworthy. I suppose that this is good because of the present distress--that it is good for a man to remain as he is: Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife." (I Corinthians 7)

Your reference in Genesis is a very loose one; even in Hebrew, it make no reference to a specific kind of companionship, only noting that Adam was alone. Adam was definitely alone - he was the only one of his kind! The Word doesn't specify that Adam was lonely for a wife or for sex. He was unique, and after sorting through every other creature on the earth, no suitable partner for him was found, and God provided. But the simple fact that God gave Adam a wife does not necessarily men that all men are to take a wife, otherwise, why would He, as Christ, say otherwise, or through His most learned apostle, say otherwise?

Would we be wrong at all to try to imitate Christ in all things?

Did Christ take a wife?

Something to think about before you make a commandment out of a piece of scripture that is not.

For some reason I'm reminded of a verse from a song from the group called "A Ragamuffin Band," the song was called "You did not have a home."

You did not take a wife
There were pretty maids all in a row
Lined up to touch the hem of Your robe
But You had no place to take them so
You did not take a wife
Cause You did not have a home

Sorry, it's my music-nerd brain, it offers up a song to match just about anything anyone says.

You don't see, to understand the context of these verses. It states that we should not look down on people for not being married. Paul is clearly addressing some sort of issue where people who were not married were being persecuted. He does not say that God made certain people to be alone. he Says I have NO CONDEMNATION. As for the last part why do we need to seek a husband or wife? God will bring the person he made for us to us in His perfect timing. And as for Jesus taking a wife, he actually has, his wife is the church.

Ohhhh, context. So, the whole rest of I Cor 7, where Paul talks about how it's better for both men and women to remain unmarried, since it frees them to be focused on the affairs of the Lord, (because those who are married are focused on the things of the world, specifically as how to please their spouse)...that's not a context that applies here? Or when Paul says that it is better that " you remain as I am [postulated by most scholars that he was single or widowed]," that's not a context that applies here? Or, if we go back to Christ's teaching in Matthew, where He begins His statement with, "All cannot accept this saying," which infers that there are SOME who can, but not all...or when He concludes His statement with, "and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it." From Christ's own contextual words, I think it's hard to read that and insist that God condemns the idea of people being single. Even Paul makes it clear that it is a personal choice: "And this I say not that I may put a leash on you." He spends the whole chapter saying that neither being married nor being an unmarried daughter is against God's will. He even points out in chapter 9 that he and Barnabas have every right to take a wife, the freedom in Christ to do so, yet they do not.

I am by no means saying that it is wrong to marry or to desire to marry; that is clearly unscriptural. What I am saying is that there is NO scriptural basis for marriage being a commandment. We are not commanded to find a mate, we are given the option. The Jerusalem council in Acts 15 makes no such assertion to the Gentile believers, Christ makes no such commandment, and none of the epistles make such a commandment. And to me, that is the key word here: it is NOT a COMMANDMENT to find mate. It is a blessing, but not all believers are blessed in the same things while we are here on Earth. Christ even points out that in the ressurection, we are no longer married, so in the end, we all end up single anyhow.

If you feel you have studied your scripture, read it prayerfully, and heeded the urging of the Spirit (and not your flesh), and feel urged by the Spirit that you are to be married, then seek your wife and be blessed. I have done as such and received no such urging from the Spirit (quite the opposite, in fact!), and I shall do as I have been directed by Word and Spirit.

"Seek FIRST (emphasis mine) the kingdom of God." THEN you get the other stuff added, if He has that in your plan. ^_^

I have to say that's the longest post I've seen from Shouryu since I started hanging around here.

I also have to say he's right. Sorry jackamo, but he is. And Paul said nothing about condemnation when he was talking about single vs married. And I'm having trouble finding where there was any indication that single people were persecuted.
