How in the world would being single be a sin? Jesus was single.

I do not think that being single is a sin. It is one's choice to live that way. In no way would God feel bad if a person chooses to remain single in life. You can still be happy even if you are single. It is just a matter of difference in perspective.

Why should it be a sin? It's not one's fault that he/she didn't find someone interesting, right? I think it's not a sin. It's more of a sin if you force yourself to be with someone you don't really like and end up cheating on him/her or him/her cheating on your because you're not a match in the first place. Being single is either by choice or by circumstance but regardless the fate, I think determining what's sinful or not depends on the actions of a person. If he/she is doing something that causes people or the society some bad, then that's sin. But if your actions isn't affecting anyone negatively, then that's not a sin. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

Who ever said being single is a sin? You can stay single all your life if it is your option as long as you shun from sinful relationship. However, there is one way of staying single for reasons of following a demon's teaching. In Timothy 4, "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth." Now, who admit to having enforced this teaching, w/c according to the Scriptures is a demon's doctrine? We quote from wikipeda: Celibacy was first written into law for all priests in the 12th century at the First Lateran Council (1123), but it was a common practice much earlier, as shown in the Spanish Council of Elvira (~295-302), which required celibacy of clerics.[21] Because clerics resisted it, the celibacy mandate was restated at the Second Lateran Council (1139) and the Council of Trent (1545–64).[21] In places coercion and enslavement of clerical wives and children was apparently involved in the enforcement of the law.[22] “The earliest decree in which the children [of clerics] were declared to be slaves and never to be enfranchised [freed] seems to have been a canon of the Synod of Pavia in 1018. Similar penalties were promulgated against wives and concubines (see the Synod of Melfi, 1189 can. Xii), who by the very fact of their unlawful connexion with a subdeacon or clerk of higher rank became liable to be seized by the over-lord”.[22] , unquote: So we now know who sins for being single, by following a demon's doctrine

Maybe it's not a "sin"--as it doesn't 'break a command from G*d'--but G*d said "It is not good for the man to be alone," G*d wouldn't say it if it weren't true & G*d never so-publicly changed His opinion there. Unless you count 'Jesus staying single' as His self-correction ... but did Jesus really stay single, or did the Bible never say anything about His Earthly marriage.

Who says that being single is a sin? Well, I don't think so... It is not a sin for me, it is a choice of anyone. Some people loves being single and some people loves to be loved in return... There is nothing wrong for what we choose, it is our freedom...

Dear friend, I feel it is an individual’s freedom of choice. Hope no law will be made against it. At times when I am alone I enjoy the loneliness and calmness. I do love being single at times. But there are also times when it becomes boring. Moreover I would opt that the best part of life is enjoying oneself and this enjoyment varies from individual to individual.

Whoah!! Where in the world you got that? Being single is never a sin unless you do a lot of bad things to yourself, to other people, to your family and the reason behind is being a single. But being single itself is not a sin, the person's bad actions will cause him to sin. In Catholic teaching, there is calling called "Single Blessedness." These are the people who thinks that God call them to be single and give service to Him and His people in that status. They either don't want to go to convent to be nun or to seminary to be a priest and just decided to be single.

I do not think it would be a sin because there is no harm to anybody in that.

It's not a sin, but relationship with other human being is something we are made for and we need it.When i'm single i feel like a half man, if you understand me.I always need a girl with me to be completely happy no matter money,works etc.
