Single Forever

Hi, IntrovetShy. I am a Christian and I haven't heard or read in the Bible that being single is a sin. What I am aware of is that God never forbids one to get married. What I understood about God's word is that it is BETTER to be single because you can serve God better because you can focus more on Him rather than spreading yourself thinly, dividing it to your spouse and kids and then, God.And if your spouse(wife or husband ) is hindering you to serve God, it is right to leave that person, but if such spouse will make you serve God better than you are single, then by all means, marry him/her. I am not an expert of the verses in the Bible but this at least is what I heard during those days when I was active in Bible study.

@ Introvertshy, Being single is our choice as i know Single person is more luckier than who is not single a friend of mine told this to me before but can't remember the verses about this. I think being single is not a sin its a choice. have a nice day!

That is not true. That is a lie. It is not a sin to be single forever. What about Jesus? According to the Bible, he didn't have a girlfriend or a wife, so wouldn't he be sining? Think about that. Think about priests, monks, and nuns. You mean to tell me that all of them are sinners? I don't think so. There is no verse in the Bible that I know of that says it is a sin to be single. This guy was lying to you. Also, if I were you, I would not chat on Yahoo Messenger, people can scam you through that. Some Nigerian jerk try to pull a scam on me via Facebook by telling me to chat through Yahoo Messenger, and I told him, "I am reporting you to the Facebook mods as we speak, you are so going to jail." Do yourself a favor and do your own research. Don't trust anyone, and don't trust men online. They can lie to you, and this guy did.

Whoever got married, then he has completed half of his religion. And should he devoted to God in maintaining the other half. Marriage is the nature of humanity. Islam therefore recommend to get married. If nature is not filled with a legitimate way of marriage, then he will find the streets are a lot of devil plunged toward sin.

I am not sure if it is a sin but being single forever would be difficult. We need family and friends to share joy and sorrow. I am married and happy not to be single, also I suggest people to get married and be happy. May be being single have some benefits but being married has some more benefits in life. Thank You for sharing.

Yes. it is true, because we live in this world to have a partner in creating life in order to obtain offspring and create a new life. so that we can live happily together with our partners and we do not have a single title again.

Maybe he's trying to convince you that HE should be your boyfriend Honestly though, he's talking rubbish as the others have already pointed out.

No that is not true. No where in the bible I have read that if your single its a sin. Look at it this way. If that was true all the priests, nuns and even saints would have been married or at least had a boyfriend/girlfriend. But that is not the case right!? So that's false. Maybe he just wants to convince you to have a boyfriend or something lol... maybe his not lying maybe that's his understanding. =)

Ignorance of the Bible led to wrong belief. I wonder where your chat-mate got that idea that it is written in the Bible that to be single forever is a sin. I have read the entire Bible and not a single verse states so. I am very sure dear that to be single forever is not a sin because Apostle Paul himself had opted to have single blessedness for his entire life in order for him to serve the Lord much more effectively and that is his own choice. It is all for the love of God and dedication to his service. His choice to remain single did not in anyway made him sin but rather made him peculiar and admirable in the eyes of God and his fellow Christians. The Bible neither encourage nor discourage being single forever. It is a personal choice of any person and we all have the right of choice. Nevertheless, if that choice is done out of desire to serve God then that is commendable and will surely find rewards in heaven.

First off I have never heard anything about being alone being a sin. I think that this guy is just pulling your leg. If that is the case, then all priests would be sinners. they take a vow of celebecy so if that were true, think what it would mean. No one can tell you the right or wrong way to live, it is something that you need to decide on your own. Never let others tell you that what you are doing is wrong. It is obvious that you have your reasons and I think that people should respect you for the choices that you make. Happy mylotting.

According to my knowledge, marriage is a religious service. And marriage is one way to avoid the sin of lust.

Hello Introvertshy, You should have asked what verse it says that being single is a sin, that is the most pathetic thing have ever heard. probably just to fling around with you so that he can court you or something. i just people who are too religious, if single is a sin then priest should get married immediately.. He's LIVING in the CAVE that's for sure.

Being single forever is not a sin I actually want to be single forever too because a relationship is just to stressful for me to handle. I will remain pure till I die at least that's what I am hoping to accomplish. I think that guy was just saying that just to make you date. Not right of him to be telling lies like that it's not very nice now lying that one is a sin and he just commited it so bad. Don't let him trick you being single is the best well for some people, but others prefer to have someone because they feel lonely. For me I want to be single, but I do want to adopt a kid so that kid will have a home and I will provide for my child like one of my own, it's because I really don't want to have kids of my own and since I want to be single that's the only way I can have kids with out doing the unecessary. I mean it's great for people who have someone and want to have children for all means go for it, but for me being single is just what I like. Everybody is different, but that's ok were not all the same and we all think differently so happy single or together lives.

For me, being single is not a sin. We have a choice to be married or to be a single person forever. What matters is that your happy wuth your decision and you are not hurting other people to achieve your intended dream. ;)
