Jesus says in 1 Corinthians 7 Its better not to be married at all but its better to be married than lustfull so what about love that has nothing to do with lust he doesnt so much as touch that subject in 1 Corintians 7 at all may i remind that that chapter is labeled instructions on marraige
so the question is if you love someone not caring about s*x should you get married
This passage is not talking about what is wrong and what is right. This passage is talking about making choices.
It is better for a man to not marry because a man can live life much better alone and happy than always seeking the love of a woman (and vice versa). Amen to that!
If a man does however love someone, to the point that they feel overwhelmed without the person, then it is not wrong to marry. When two people marry, they will have many difficulties and they will face many hardships together that no single person would ever have to worry about.
Basicly, if you are not madly in love with someone, then do not try to look for them. If you find yourself in love, then go ahead and be with them (and eventually marry them).
but is it bad? it may be dirty a little bit but is it wrong to think that way? the bible was written a long time ago so things change, whats wrong back then isnt wrong nowadays.
The bible is followed by many as a book of laws. I have always looked at the bible as a guide with rules you should follow, more than a book of laws.
1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.[a] 2But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. 3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. 5Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.
8Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. 9But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
That passage really strikes me as wise in my opinion. If you are alone then you are best off living that way. If you find someone you love and you feel that you must be with them, it is better to be with them than to live a misserable life wanting to be with them and staying single.
Listen here. Christ never said that you should not get married. I also have heard something like this from the bible myself, but he or whoever said it, I forget, it may have been God, but anyway, he meant that for a widow. You may not believe this but, marrying in the name of the Lord means that you can't leave your mate unless a mate dies. He says that you would probably be better off not going for someone else and just stay single. This of course is a SUGGESTION, not something that you should do.
I am writing this to you out of what I can remember, because I am still learning about the Bible, as we all are, if we are. I may be off at some of the stuff I said, but that is just what I believe.
First of all, it was Paul who wrote that letter to the Corinthian congregation.
Second, Paul is not saying that people should not get married. In fact, God created marriage, and it is a perfect bond of union. It is God's will that mankind fill the earth.
Here is an explanation from a book explaining what Paul meant:
Paul answers a question about marriage. Because of the prevalence of fornication, it may be advisable for a man or a woman to be married, and those who are married should not be depriving each other of conjugal dues. It is well for the unmarried and the widows to remain single, like Paul; but if they do not have self-control, let them marry. Once they marry, they should remain together. Even if one's mate is an unbeliever, the believer should not depart, for in that way the believer may save the unbelieving mate. As to circumcision and slavery, let each one be content to remain in the state in which he was called. With regard to the married person, he is divided because he wants to gain the approval of his mate, whereas the single person is anxious only for the things of the Lord. Those who marry do not sin, but those who do not marry "do better."-1 Cor 7:38.
