I mean the bible says:
"One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord".
So, this means a human being can stay unmarried and still remain pure. Doesn't it?
Okay my question now. If I don't marry(remembering that marriage is an institution created by God, not man), meaning that sometimes those who remain single for the rest of their day is not always by choice, does it mean that I'm not a real Christian and therefore not blessed as other people believe?
According to Genesis 2:18, God saw that a man was lonely and created a woman. So, why is it that most people are still lonely even after they had married? Isn't this because of the mistake people make by thinking that their lives will be better if they get married or they'll be less lonely if they get married?
Again the bible says:
"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart". There are those who desire to only serve God without having 'their interests divided', which means they desire serving the Lord even in their single status. Do we then say they are wrong because God never meant for man to be alone?
This is a very interesting topic I must say.
God Bless
