That's not being obedient to God though it sounds religious. It's also why so many Christians become senior singles. "...and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it.'" Gensis 1:28.

Are you being "fruitful and multiplying?"
AgeOfKnowledge,

I actually have 5 children, so I have been fruitful & multiply.....I am divorced, just waiting for God to send me the right person this time.

This is quite true. Perhaps God has steered you to this site to find your future wife. Keep looking up. Welcome to CC.

Seed. I don't know what bible you are reading from, but from my bible, its says in 1 Corintians 7: 8. To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am.. so were in the bible God says its not good for a man to be alone? God bless those who are married and who are single., there is nothing in the bible to say its not good for a man to be single or alone. Otherwise you would of quoted a verse to support and back up what you said.

Why still single?


State your reason.
Because God gives the desires of the heart according to his will right? Well my heart desires no one in my life, I desire to be single. and to support that, it says in the bible in 1 Corinthians 7: 8. " To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am" So I am blessed either way.

Can you quote the scripture to back up what God says its not good for a man to be alone? Please dont get confused with Genesis 2: 18 because that was in the beginning,. and its in the old testament.

For New Testament, this is the closest I can think of off the top of my head. Doesn't mean man should be married, but whomever can receive it, let him receive it. Likewise to he whom is single.

Matthew 19:1-12

1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
[SUP]4 [/SUP]And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
[SUP]8 [/SUP]He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Me thinketh in light of some of Solomon's Proverbs about it being better to be in the desert, and also just frankly looking how things be in this generation that Paul might have a goodly point.

I think that verse is more for grounds for divorce in God's laws. Though I can see your point in a sense.

I'm not sure if this helps, but here is a little read.

I agree most of this passage deals with divorce. Though in the 5th verse we can see reference back to Genesis 2:18. Also verses 10-13 seem to be relevant to the topic of marriage and singleness.

sir Richie am single and am God man,from the insparating i get from his presence i think when u married ane yr wife die(past out) u can remarried,but when divorce with yr wife,u dont have to marry,God love marriage,and God also hate divorce,have set b4 u blessing and curses,live and death,make yr choice,its all about choice.
I have never been married Seed, and I in the future I desire not to either. God said in: Psalms 37: 4. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
My heart desires no one, so I am happy to be single. But though I have never been married. It don't mean I wont understand what the bible says about it. God will bless marriage, as he will bless the single. Its man, that has this problem about marriage as a Christian. But you say its about choice? well my choice is to be single, again which is what my heart desires, and to back it up? I like the verse in 1 Corinthians 7: 8 its says:To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am.

A blessed Marriage is when 2 people by God's will become as one in God. were the couple has God in the middle of there lives. And thats alot of the problem today, Because God is not in the middle of people's marriage lives, So its not really about choice, its about following God's will. Some are called to marry, some are to be single. Either way God will bless them if they follow God's will.
