Nah Kirk Franklin lying folks. God said it is not good for man to be alone. Also Paul is talking about CHASTE not being single. Being chaste means that you are a eunuch and are castrated. Smh. Don't fall for Kirk Franklin guys. He is lying and taking folks away from God.
Trying to find where and when Paul said that marriage is a distraction. I Corinthians 7:2 KJV Nevertheless, to avoid formication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Don’t be fooled. Context is important.
1 Corinthians 7:35 NASB1995 "This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord." In this context, one could (fairly) ascertain that marriage can be a distraction from the Lord's work. Kirk also said necessary distraction. As such, he values the institution, and can also acknowledge the harm in pushing marriage to the point that we hold it to a higher standard than discernment of one's capacity to serve in ministry.
Romans 1:27 “And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”
Romans 1:27 “And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”
James 4:4 King James Version 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
1 Timothy 3:5 Context 2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
1 Corinthians 7:9 Context 6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 7For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn
Very true, you have to worship in spirit and in truth...God's truth not your own! John 4: 24. He is quoting scripture out of context: We are born into all sin, sexual and otherwise which is why you must be born again which means turning away from your former life that was crucified on the cross and taking on the mind of Christ Jesus through confession and repentance in Christ Jesus instead of using God's word as a weapon against the very God who gave it to justify one's proclivities the way he's choosing to do! Psalm 51: 5. Romans 5: 12. John 3: 1-7
I am so happy this show is coming back. I love seeing my Bishop Noel Jones. He is such a humble man and I love Lady Loretta because she compliments him and he compliments her. Amen
