Thank you for your comments. Let me say t...Landry,<br /><br />Thank you for your comments. Let me say these things:<br /><br />I want to reiterate that most will and should marry. However, Paul (for the present distress) is clearly suggesting (not commanding) that the unmarried widows and virgins remain as he was, single. Paul makes it clear to the Corinthians that he did not have a wife. There is no way to avoid this in a plain reading Debtor Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495919232407390495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989595510439403225.post-71964277059861497742009-08-07T10:01:56.502-05:002009-08-07T10:01:56.502-05:00i'll say you are not fundamental in the fact t...i'll say you are not fundamental in the fact that you don't use the king james bible. Plus, paul had a wife. if someone had the gift of celibacy, then it would much rather be preferred. i'm not against what your saying, i guess i just think your a little off and asking a little to much. our church supports a widow, she does a lot of work with children ministers in the bahamas. i'mUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11079908646720138057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989595510439403225.post-78355885463305970032009-07-29T14:37:30.735-05:002009-07-29T14:37:30.735-05:00Dan,

I do pra...Dan,<br /><br />Thanks for the generous comments. <br /><br />I do pray that more would take up this cross. Some may say that it is easy for a married man to make such a suggestion, but it is not. I know what I am asking of them. I know that the conditions that I am asking them to consider going into could take their life. But, I also know that God is sufficient for these things and the Cause is Debtor Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495919232407390495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989595510439403225.post-28754819108163421792009-07-29T09:51:57.302-05:002009-07-29T09:51:57.302-05:00My man, you've hit this thing right on the hea...My man, you've hit this thing right on the head. There's no way around it for sure! <br /><br />I would love, more than anything else, if a few of the men I mentor would take up this cross. How awesome would it be to watch some true "Pauls" go out into the field. <br /><br />This is something we should, as a faith, be praying for. Well done on this post!The Navy Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116964729906856912noreply@blogger.com
