It's fine to want to be married one day. Also, I have another question for you. Do you believe it's wrong for a Christian to desire a boyfriend/girlfriend?

I answered that question a gazillion posts ago. Do you think you're the only Christian in the world?

Did I say that it did? No. I was answering your question. What else does he say? You left those parts out. Even when Paul makes clear statements about the subject we're discussing?

If it was more difficult to answer Lovette's strange objections, I would find it easier to give up. You're probably right, though.

Does God want every Christian to stay single? Because the Bible doesn't say that. When did I say that a husband is supposed to be like Jesus? I said that the analogy of marriage is used in the Bible to describe the relationship between Jesus (the "bridegroom") and the church (the "bride") The...

Ah. Did not decline "absolutely." Very interesting. Wait. Celibacy is not for all? I agree! Huh? What does that have to do with modern-day Christians who want to marry? Also, did Jesus or Paul require younger sons to go into the army or the clergy? Uh, I don't think so. Also, remember how...

Huh? I mentioned the Rapture, and you automatically assumed I believed in a pre-Trib rapture. Something I didn't even mention. Very interesting. Do you go around looking to start an argument every time you get on the Internet? No, I mean why does someone who simply desires marriage have a...

Um, is a review of the term "analogy" necessary? OK. What is an analogy? An analogy is a comparison between two different things to show how they're alike. We, the church, the "bride," have accepted Jesus as our Savior. Jesus, the "bridegroom," has chosen us as his bride. He has also made a...

That being said, as soon as I'm tired of "arguing" with Lovette, I'll create an AI to do it for me. Hahaha!

Jesus could also have lectured the bride and groom about how they were, apparently, just wasting their time and exploiting each other for their own selfish gain. But Jesus didn't do that. Weird. Jesus also declined to agree with his disciples when they said that, if the divorce law is so tough...

Wow. Extraordinary. Haha. Huh? So a man is not Jesus. OK. Therefore no man should ever get married. What? What does Luke 16:10 have to do with marriage? I don't know where you get your definition of idolatry. But if that's the definition you should use, well, apparently you can't do anything...

Huh? What am I writing with AI? You think I have a dedicated Lovette-Response AI that I developed just for you? Hahaha! You can't tell that I have a certain writing style after I've been talking to you for, what, almost a month now? Marriage is an analogy that Paul uses to explain the church's...

Um, yes, earthly marriage and our relationship with Jesus are different in some ways. And? So what? My relationship with Jesus is also different from having a platonic friendship with a fellow human. Does that mean i should never form platonic friendships with other humans? Also, in 1 Timothy 3...

Then what did you mean by people who "equate earthly marriage with heavenly marriage"? I said earthly marriage reflects our relationship with Jesus, yes. Jesus is called the bridegroom, while the church is called the bride, to use an analogy that Paul used. OK? I never said God offers anyone...

Do you mean to say that all the Christian who desire marriage are foolishly equating earthly marriage with Heaven? How do you know that? Yes, marriage is a sacred union, and once you're joined together, it's supposed to be for life. But the Bible doesn't say anything about God arranging a...

Huh? I never said anything about having "sex with Jesus." Whatever that means. So, how, exactly, does God control all of the world's modern romances today? Does the Bible explain that anywhere? You know, in any verse besides 1 Corinthians 7:39? Are you saying that the general desire to...

Sure, it's not exactly the same. Doesn't make it wrong to desire an actual marriage. And, sure, there's no marriage in Heaven. But, of course, we're not in Heaven right now. I don't believe God's a Puppetmaster who runs every aspect of your love life. And it's OK to take action to pursue these...

"Girl, your nose is totally looking like the big tower of Lebanon pointing at Damascus!" :love:

It's not purely a worldly affair. Even in Paradise, when the world was perfect, God made a partner for Adam. The best marriage is between two believers (2 Corinthians 6:14) who can produce godly offspring (Malachi 2:13–15). I wouldn't say it's a purely worldly invention or something God doesn't...

Which biblical characters waited on "God's timing and arrangement" to get married? Well, I guess Adam and Eve. Abraham and Sarah? The Bible doesn't say anything about God arranging their union. Isaac and Rebekah? Abraham told his servant to find a wife for Isaac among the Abraham's family...
