Protecting me Allah(God), from the evil(satan) that You already cursed.In the name of Allah(God), Most Gracious, Most Merciful("betchevy")
I Corinthians 7: 6. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.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.8. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.9. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Before we go further, i would like quoting your statement before
, which i write below.("betchevy")
God
uses the marraige as a picture of His relationship with us.. He speaks of worshipping false gods as being as a unfaithful wife...
if you have sex outisde of the vows of marraige is it sin fornication... the relations between husband an wife are special and meant for pleasure too, not just procreation...
it is a gift from God...
In your statement above I have several point that i note :1. Marriage was a picture God relationship with human being.2. Sex outside of marriage was a sin think wheter we seing by OT nor NT, and you make it as fornication.3. Marriage was a gift from God.If you saw your argument as the first, I do personally agreed with what said above. It's very lovely argument
. However than I was asking, to you how about there is man says something like this. It is a better thing for a men not to touch women, in this statement actually, i refer to 1 Chor 7:1. Which is the word mean, it's a better think if men not married. And if I were try to comparing with your urgement, it seems like there is some thing that contradict with your statement.("betchevy")
This burning is burning with desire... Paul was not married himself... and he says this is not a commandment but his opinion...
I think what is your wrote comparing with Paul 'Apostle' is more biblical than Paul 'Apostle'. Thats only my opinion
.("betchevy")
I would like to comment on your question from a personal level... touch can be so many things.. the touch of a friend , on a shoulder or hand.. can be a very pure and kind thing , very Godly...If a women were hurt, would a man not be able to render aid? this does not seem a very Godly way to act.
I'm quoting on Paul statement in 1 Chor 7:1. And in my Country translation it mean about marriage. In mine Indonesian Language that verse was saying, it is a better think for men not to married.Best regards,Ricky WisnadriGod(Allah) Knows Best
