Yes you can find Paul's opinions on marriage in 1 Corinthians Chapter 7. Paul was NOT a big fan of marriage. He himself NEVER married and he begins this chapter by saying: \n\n1 Corinthians 7:1 "Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman." He wished that ALL remained single like himself because Paul believed as did many of the Christians back then that the END OF THE WORLD was coming IN THEIR LIFETIME.\n\nHe continues to say, "For I would that all men were even as I myself.  7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I."\n\nPaul sees marriage as a viable consession for those who cannot control their sexual lust. If you MUST have sex, then get married rather than commit fornication "have sex with prostitutes 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.\n\nEven those who ARE married, Paul did not want them to get TOO pre-occupied with married life etc. Because again, Paul believed the END OF TIMES was coming SOON, \n\n1 Corinthians 7:29 "But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none"\n\n\nWhether or not you follow Paul's advice on marriage as LAW depends on whether you view his statements as HIS opinion as a minister or as GOD's LAW spoken through him. I imagine if you are from a legalistic christian sect that follows the bible word for word literally, this may pose a problem.

Luke 6:27-36\n\n"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.\n\n"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

When Jesus was asked this question, He replied \n"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it:  You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."\nMatthew 22:37-40

II Corinthians 11:19 -- "For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise." \n\nThere are a number of quotes out there about not suffering fools gladly.

I haven't seen the poster, but the quotation is from the Bible; it's 1 Corinthians, chapter 13...probably any Chrisitian book store would carry some kind of poster with those verses, as they are quite popular.

Pray about it. Think about it. pray about it. take care of yourself and your spirit because if you chose to be a messenger of God. You must be prepared for the possible suffering that comes with it. It isn't just telling people about the Gospel..it is about leading by example and living Christ-like. Read again Philippians on how Paul who was imprisoned instructs us how to live and endure like Christians. May God Bless you on your endeavors. Keep me up to date.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. \n\nJohn 10:28-29 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

I would be curious to see what your friend thinks of this scripture from 1 Corinthians 5:12-14...\n\nFor what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”\n\nShe is wrong. Yes. But you are also wrong for basing your salvation on what other people say or do. This will be no excuse in the last day. We must base our self examination with CHRIST as our standard. And without God's grace and mercy, we would all lose, wouldn't we?\n\nYoda Green - I suppose you are an example of the non-judgmental?

In the Bible it says "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another:  and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."  \n\nsorry, I misquoted the first time

Ephesians 5:31 So again I say, a man must love his wife as a part of himself; and the wife must see to it that she deeply respects her husband-obeying, praising and honoring him.\n\nI was reading some self help type book and came across this verse men love his wife - wife respect your husband.  I have read the Bible completely ten times and did not remember that part of the verse and looked it up and sure enough it was there\n\nThis dawning that my husband truly needed me to respect him, I did things for him out of love but that was not as important to him as showing respect for his decisions.  It freed up a lot of things within our marriage.

Read this quickly, it may be censured by Tammy C.\n\nTammy C is now writing her own Bible. She quoted 1 Corninthians 6: 9-11 as condeming homosexuals. The actual word is effeminent; which is the greek word for incest; not homosexuals.\n\nAnyway, quoting Paul is disrespect for God and Jesus. Paul, himself, would not have wanted you to quote him or worship him by living your life according to him. Paul had no idea that his personal letters to Timothy, or Titus, or the Corinthians would someday be included in the "Book of God".  At the beginning of the second mil. about 1200 AD a group looked at about 150 scrolls and selected the 66 that would become  what we call the Bible.  \n\nIf you want to quote someone, quote Jesus. \n\nNow to answer your question. There is no place that condemns that particular thing. However, if causes disharmony it would be a sin. Why? Harmony is harmony; Disharmony is the only sin against God.\n\n PS. you had better read this quickly. It might be censured in a few minutes.\n\nMary W is writing her own Bible, too.  I am sick of religious leaders making up rules and interpretations of the Bible in order to build their empires and control people's lives.

Do you notice that Jesus first tells the man that all he need do is keep the commandments?  But the man carries on, feeling that it won't be enough for some reason (even though Jesus just said it would)?  He feels he's still lacking.  Jesus tells him what he must do 'to be perfect'.  Not what he must do to gain eternal life.  I don't know about you, but, I have too many other people in my life to take care of to be 'perfect'.  Even as much as I admire Jesus.

I Corinthians 10:12 \n\nAnd so finally after many more months of work, all the sages came back to him, and they had come to a unanimous conclusion that the wisdom of the world could be put into a four-word sentence. They told the king that this sentence expresses much. It is chastening in the hour of pride and consoling in the depths of afflictions. And I've reflected on this sentence this week. The sentence of their wisdom was: "This too shall pass."

1 \n1 If I speak in human and angelic tongues 2 but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. \n2 \nAnd if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. \n3 \nIf I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing. \n4 \n3 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, \n5 \nit is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, \n6 \nit does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. \n7 \nIt bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. \n8 \n4 Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. \n9 \nFor we know partially and we prophesy partially, \n10 \nbut when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. \n11 \nWhen I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. \n12 \nAt present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. \n13 \n5 So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love. \nTable of Contents  Previous Chapter  Next Chapter\nFootnotes\n1 [1-13] This chapter involves a shift of perspective and a new point. All or part of the material may once have been an independent piece in the style of Hellenistic eulogies of virtues, but it is now integrated, by editing, into the context of 1 Cor 12-14 (cf the reference to tongues and prophecy) and into the letter as a whole (cf the references to knowledge and to behavior). The function of 1 Cor 13 within the discussion of spiritual gifts is to relativize all the charisms by contrasting them with the more basic, pervasive, and enduring value that gives them their purpose and their effectiveness. The rhetoric of this chapter is striking.\n\n2 [1-3] An inventory of gifts, arranged in careful gradation: neither tongues (on the lowest rung), nor prophecy, knowledge, or faith, nor even self-sacrifice has value unless informed by love. \n\n3 [4-7] This paragraph is developed by personification and enumeration, defining love by what it does or does not do. The Greek contains fifteen verbs; it is natural to translate many of them by adjectives in English.\n\n4 [8-13] The final paragraph announces its topic, Love never fails (1 Cor 13:8), then develops the permanence of love in contrast to the charisms (1 Cor 13:9-12), and finally asserts love's superiority even over the other "theological virtues" (1 Cor 13:13).\n\n5 [13] In speaking of love, Paul is led by spontaneous association to mention faith and hope as well. They are already a well-known triad (cf 1 Thes 1:3), three interrelated (cf 1 Cor 13:7) features of Christian life, more fundamental than any particular charism. The greatest . . . is love: love is operative even within the other members of the triad (7), so that it has a certain primacy among them. Or, if the perspective is temporal, love will remain (cf "never fails," 1 Cor 13:8) even when faith has yielded to sight and hope to possession.
