What about Christians being single?

Married and a minister for the Gospel.\nWhat Paul is talking about if one remains single all of thier attention can be focused on the Lord . A single person does not have to worry about a familys needs . Where as a married person has responsibilites to thier mate ,childern , most of a married persons time is spent taking care of thier family. This is not wrong as pointed out in scripture , Yet Paul wishes folks to be like him because he was so zelous for the Lord and in his unmarried state his whole focus could be upon doing Gods work all the time.

You CAN be single, but concidering how the christians control everything, Unless youre married you might as well wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which gets full faster. Same goes for being homosexual. The TAX FREE dollars of the christian community (hows that for seperation of church and state) do not want to pay for the electing of someone who by their very being, goes against their beliefs. So, no Im sorry- even though its legal to be single or gay, you will have a difficult if NOT impossible journey should you try and run for president.

I am a christian and I am waiting til marriage 23 years so far.  I have a lot of friends that are also waiting.  It makes sense on then just a religious plane though.

According to the Bible she must remain single or be reconciled to her husband, period.\n\nThat being said, salvation is a gift from God, and as such she can not find herself condemned to hell simply for being weak.

Well I am a 22 christian woman so I would like to find someone with the same religious understanding as I do. I want some one who can make me laugh. Who will love me not only for the good things about me but some one can love me for my flaws as well. I would love to find someone who can encourage me and someone who can look at me when I'm tired and my face is a mess and I haven't brushed my hair and say you are so beautiful. Sometimes I think there is no one out there like that, no one for me but as a christian  I know and trust that god has created someone for us all and we just have to be patient and wait for the right time. I hoped I helped and yes I know I get a little carried away with the sappy stuff. God Bless

No. \n\nIt is my belief that God wants us to be with one person only.  Besides, its hard enough to give of yourself to one person and still retain your own identity, let alone trying to give of yourself to multiple partners.  Someone is bound to lose out, and it will probably be your own identity that gets fractured.

Depends on what type of Christian.  Most maintream religions only allow one.  Some sects of Christianity to allow plural marriages, but not many.\n\nThe real question is why would you.  It's one wife enough torture.  ;)

Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years:\n1. Single people should be celibate.\n2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).\n3. Married couples should welcome God's gift of children and, therefore, artificial birth control was against the will of God.\n\nWith love in Christ.

I'm looking for a person to date who shares my values.  I'd like my relationship to be something that helps me out in my life and I'd like a partner who can complement my strengths and weaknesses.  If the guy that I'm dating and I aren't moving towards the same goal, I don't think I'm interested.  I'm sure you're a nice person, but I want somebody that I can grow with.\n\nAlso, if I'm dating someone and I really care about him, why wouldn't I want him to experience the happiness I feel from following the teachings of Jesus Christ?

A non-christian rich person is Generally continuously hunting for themselves and their happiness and they believe they will find it with "more money."  Always seeking more, always working to obtain more and never being satisfied with what they already have.\n\nThe poor Christian already knows who they are in Christ and thus has over flowing joy from within.  They are content with whatever it is God my bless them with and realize that no matter how much/little they have, it is still a blessing of God.\n\nAs for as the activities, personalities and interests...\nThose are unique to each individual person and any type of generalization would simply be that... An extreme generalization.

Hermits, from the Christian perspective, are people who set their lives aside for self denial in order to conform themselves into the likeness of Jesus Christ.\n\n1) They usually live alone in far off places.\n\n2) They love Jesus.\n\n3) Their often attacked by Satan.\n\n4) Their great teachers.\n\n5) Most of them are martyrs.\n\n6) Their discipline is unmatched with most other Christians.\n\nI hope that this is what you meant.

If you are a Christian you won't have sex until you're married at which time it won't matter. It's basically up to the couple then if they want a baby or not. Nice try though but as I said a Christian would not have sex outside of marriage.

Personally, I never understood that.  Especially for priests.  Holy men should have families, not be sexually suppressed and molest little boys.  It is a gift from God to have a life partner, and to have children.  Men of the cloth should have that blessing and I dont know where chastidy= faith comes from.  Never understood it and I thank I found a faith which encourages marraige and discourages being single!

i'm pretty sure you know the Christian view... this is something i've been thinking about a good bit lately - Genesis talks about 'when a man leaves his parents and basically takes a wife... they live together and become one.. sorry - paraphrasing i dont like... i'll add more as i research\nI'm curious more because of the jewish prophecy concerning the messiah; of a virgin, yet of the line of David. \n& my head hurts.
