I was very surprised at how fast this one grew long!
would you accept Paul? The Apostle to the Gentiles?
If you cant contain, then Marry.
This applies to all men.
1Cor 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.
1Cor 7:2 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
1Cor 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
1Cor 7:4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
1Cor 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except [it be] with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
1Cor 7:6 But I speak this by permission, [and] not of commandment.
1Cor 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
1Cor 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
1Cor 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
I was not surprised. This happens on every FR Christian thread beyond generic things like Happy Easter or Jesus is Lord. Cite a scripture to make a point and you will soon have a war on your hands.
Christians of different denominations are our own worst enemies.
