“No... I never said “everyone” has to be married. I only said that Jesus did say we are to be married.”
Except he didn’t. His statement was conditional, and to say “we are to be married” is unconditional.
“Sexual immorality is not an option God gives us which is what several have proposed on this forum.”
I haven’t said that, so leave me out of it.
“Except he didn’t. His statement was conditional, and to say “we are to be married” is unconditional.”
Haha, it is wording at play here, as I don’t believe we disagree. Yes, it is we are ‘to be married’ followed by an IF-THEN. In one case, ‘yes do get married’ and in the other ‘great job, abstain’.
Sorry I lumped you in with the other comments. I missed the word ‘ordered us’ in the first post. I do see what you are saying and agree it is not some odd requirement we are forced into. If that was true, then I’d be at fault too ;)
