The Bible says to be fruitful and multiply, but I find peace in just knowing the word of God myself and not trying to evangelize others or feel the NEED to marry a man. I can live a peaceful life with just Jesus in my life, right? Without Jesus, I am a lustful woman who seeks out sex sex and more sex and even lust after married men. This is absolutely wrong of me.

You're not doing anyone a favor to "be fruitful and multiply" just b/c it's in the Bible. Do what's best for you, and use your talents to be of service. Right now, the world does not need more people, just people being good.
Thought questions: How many kids did Jesus have? How many kids do nuns have? Also, the Bible also says it's okay to kill people for not keeping the Sabbath. I bet you don't follow EVERYTHING in the Bible.

You choose to live your life the way you wish. If it is through Jesus and without a husband or children, then that is what you want to do. But, you do not have to seek out sex and more sex and lust after married men; if you do so, that is the choice only you are making.

Christian, catholics what ever you are.. Jesus loves everyone! You have to remember we are human beings and human beings have feelings and most of all have needs. Who cares if you want to have children out of marriage, just as long as you treat the child with love and respect. jesus will love you! as for the married men part.. girl never ever touch another women man. Cause then you will see the other side and that something you dont want see.

We are in the Age of Grace -- you can do what you will as long as you love God and love your neighbor.
Why would a Christian woman in an Answers forum tell us about lust and lust with married men? Back to The Book for you.

You do not have to marry or have children, but you can't sleep around either with married or unmarried men. God says adultery and fornication is sin. There are alot of people that are single, live the life God calls them to and they are perfectly happy.

Be fruitful be many was commanded because the earth only had two people on it. Adam & Eve...
Don't worry, you do not have to marry.

You could definitely benefit from some Christian-based counseling.
