Admin	What are your thoughts on the git of singleness? Posted : 1 Oct, 2014 09:01 AM So the church teaches that many have the gift of singleness, primarily from one passage in I Corinthians 7, verse 7. I know many will go to the Gospels and state that Jesus taught this also; Matthew 19:11-12. So what are your thoughts on this :toomuch: gift :toomuch:? Post Reply

But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that *** Well Paul is speaking of himself being single�its not recorded in Scripture if he was ever married�He was a Warrior�and he had choices to make�since being converted he traveled a lot and �maybe� it just wasn�t good for him� Matthew 19:11-12 11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. *** It�s difficult for some to receive this�That�s why Jesus said �is able to��Catholic Priests and Nuns are single�and Abbots and Monastic�s are also�Its not recorded in Scripture that Jesus was ever married�So we as Christians believe and are taught that He never was�Jesus did have many women that �ministered unto Him and followed Him� *** I myself since the separation/divorce have found that relationships take much energy and time. I study a lot and am not against a future marriage centered on and in Christ Jesus�however�at my age I find not many Gents are real Christians and because of that I am content to be alone and to focus on His Word�Spreading the Gospel of Christ�Helping the Congregation/Church and the Community. It�s not easy being alone�however�We are �Never� really alone now are we? ;o) X <JESUS>< O is KING of Kings and LORD of Lords!!! Post Reply
