You have moss growing on your head. I just can't take your question seriously because of that.

This was said in regards to teaching the gospel. Back then it was dangerous to spread the word of God and salvation through Jesus Christ.
Paul was simply stating that it would be better for those that chose not to marry and be single as he was, but if a person was desirous of the opposite sex, it would be better to marry than to spend your days burning with lust and desire.
It is also important to note that Paul says very clearly that these are his words and not Gods words, but spoken and written with Gods permission.
GOD never said he would that none marry.

You don't need to be married to have a baby, silly! And if you raise that baby lovingly, why is it sin just because some judge or priest didn't sign a marriage certificate first?
I'm Christian but have a problem with the whole No-Sex- Outside- Of- Marriage taboo thing.

He said that the unmarried focuses more on serving God..when you are married, you are more concerned with what your spouse's needs.
Things can change whenever you get married..that's why it is so important to stay focused on God.
And there are some christians that battle against lust, as well as other things...Christians are certainly NOT perfect, by any means!

Well, you see, virgin birth provides no sexual pleasure and it also causes a lot of pain (childbirth). Not exactly a good incentive to "be fruitful and multiply". Then Christians as a species would die out. Or was that what you were looking for?

God did not say that! Where did you get that idea?
John the Baptist said that he would prefer that the men of the church not marry so as not to be burdend with the role of husband/parent while traveling to spread the Gospel.
You're being blasphemous, and it could be dangerous for your spiritual health.

But it is better to marry than sin with lustful intentions. God didn't say it, Paul did.

Did God say that? For some good lusty bible reading try Song of Solomon.

It is so aggrevating when people ask these types of questions, instead of looking in the bible for the answer first. Your question makes it obvious that you have never read the bible, are you afraid of what you might find?

Ops! You opened your mouth before you had the chance to think about what you wanted to say again. And as usual, got the Word wrong. You need to study more.><>
