"....as the Rabbi Paul noted..."

As the Rabbi Paul also noted:

1 Corinthians 7:

1] Now concerning the matters about which you wrote. It is well for a man not to touch a woman.

[25] Now concerning the unmarried, I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.
[26] I think that in view of the present distress it is well for a person to remain as he is.
[27] Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek marriage.

[29] I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short; from now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none,

If Rabbi Paul had his way civilization would have died out within one generation.

"You are too easily impressed."

He never claimed it was inspired , just easier to be a missionary if one did not have to worry or care for a family as they had a short time to get the evangelization done..seems sensible to me...
