Can marriage ever be a sin if both are Christian

mikeforjesus · Oct 26, 2022

I decided I will not seek to marry unless God shows me clearly some way He wills it for I am not sure He wills if He has not allowed when I sought but I will focus on seeking to serve God by seeking to obey His will to seek opportunity to share faith with others and reading bible to make sure I am living according to Him and to fellowship with others if it may help to know if I am

I really hope you're happy and have peace with that; experience tells me you will probably change your mind again soon.
But you're going to have to pray and sort it out for yourself before God. We've answered the question of your OP many times - marriage is not a sin, and no one has ever said that it was.

Unsubscribing.

You are right you have provided enough helpful support which was kind of you. Thankyou. I learned that person has to make his own conclusions God allows person to find out what is best for them to judge situation of what is most helpful for his life to serve God and a person is to decide that by his ability and if he knows how he may serve Him what he can do to be most profitable that it helps to do that that it is helping others can not conclude God does not want to marry if God wanted me to marry He would provide someone for God does not serve man or make others to serve them even without person showing to person that one wants them. He helps man find as He did to help people in bible but person has to seek himself as all did and God can guide you to help you to know if He thinks it is right for person.

Though I should have been able to get married that people should have considered to give me a chance not to judge me to reject me for not meeting worldly criteria that is not important for it to matter as God does not look for it and there should have been some Christian’s who are mature for it to not to matter that no one would even view my profile who is suitable who is serious for me to seek to find if it is right for us to be suitable and them to respond that they should have and maybe I could get married I choose not to to help show care that I am concerned for others not to be self centred and to better witness that I am content and to seek to do more to be more helpful if I am not limited.

That is nice but I don’t believe is good for me as I may not be mature enough to be in a relationship with another person to be effective to be able to win another child heart if I can not provide any value to one child and I do not believe I should accept anyone I meet to marry unless I believe God wants me to seek to marry that it would be helpful.

mikeforjesus · Nov 9, 2022

I decided it is best for me to seek to marry because it helps encourage what is right for people to accept people with good intentions to marry to help growth of Christian’s and not to support evil of people to reject others to see good prosper and for growth and to spread it and to have partner to do more and I will seek to marry if I find one from Christian family or one who accepted Jesus that I trust is sincere the conversion that they seek to do well who I believe truly seeks to follow Christ and not to allow people to be justified of all to reject without cause that they need to repent while they have chance.

mikeforjesus · Nov 13, 2022

I decided I will not seek to marry unless Christ shows me it is His perfect will to clearly to witness to great importance of being ready that what is most important is that person has relationship with God and I don’t put my needs before others not to have envy and self seeking and I do not care most for my life needs that I am content but it is still wrong to reject others who do want to marry if you are doing so out of just out of bad intention wanting to reject that the only reason not to want to is because person is good and not that you do not have fair reason to not be attracted if it is not something that is important to help you that there is no reason to reject if person is good intentioned and can provide though people even if they rejected person can be saved even if they reject others for being more selfish not out of hate for one for being good but it is wrong for them to be as selfish to want greater things if others can provide and they have to repent of such selfishness to reject while they have opportunity or they will not have as great reward in heaven as others who are good for choosing to reject others.

mikeforjesus · Nov 14, 2022

I decided that it would be best for me to marry to help encourage what is good for people to do what is right and to encourage growth for Christians and it helps to have partner to seek to grow future to help more people that I will seek to if person accepts me but since I can not be sure someone will accept me making me think perhaps God does not will for me because they are not sure to know it is God will for me I will seek to go to church to see if I can know it can prove only they follow Christ and that God speaks to me

mikeforjesus · Nov 16, 2022

I do want to get married because others may take advantage of me being single to make me feel like I deserve it and things could get worse later but it could be God will that I will accept if not because it may be God would want me to serve Him that He has given me much help to from others opportunities to learn knowledge and opportunities I could take to serve and share the faith that I would not be able to otherwise and I think I should seek to pursue them to use them to benefit others as it may be harder to do as much to have as much time to focus on it and to do certain things I could do now that I may not be able to do if I was married

mikeforjesus · Nov 19, 2022

I believe as a believer I am not allowed to insist on my will that you need to be trusting in God to supply if it is His will and not on yourself to be focused on it that I believe it is not right to pursue it if you prayed and sought and no one came to help that it may not be God will as bible says He will withold no good thing from those who walk uprightly for I believe God would prepare people to if He does though I don't know that is true I think it might be so should be followed for I believe until God clearly makes you see why it is His will to pursue as bible says delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. So I will no longer seek marriage unless God has shown clearly it would be good from Him that He believes I should.

mikeforjesus · Nov 19, 2022

I do not believe it is wrong to seek to find someone if you believe it is God will but if you believe God wants one single and it is not best it would be wrong. Just because you failed does not mean it is not God will. I believe actually it would be wrong to give up pursuing what you think may be God will for you as others say price of regret is bigger if you did not do for fear of failure if it was God will.

For it is wrong to conclude it is not because you did not find success if the reason is you tried the wrong way to seek after people that did not seem like they would sincerely accept you to consider you to come to like you if you are interested in them and that your intentions are sincere to meet in person for them to know you are really interested in them.

I believe actually it may be God will for me to get married as I do believe it may not be God but that I have not looked for a right person to try yet that God might accept for me to find one for I believe it is God will to marry to help good prosper because many are trying to promote harshness that others deserve to be rejected just because they want to say others do not deserve because they do not seem to care that they must achieve the most worldly success to show they are really successful in getting involved in many goals which one should do best with what one knows but person should not be judged if person does not know as much as others what he can do and that so much success to say others who are not are wrong to say to make them to believe they are wrong for them to believe they deserve to be considered it as though they think consider themselves entitled just because they believe they are worthy if they are not as successful even though they do have enough to provide and are now doing their best at any work.

mikeforjesus · Nov 20, 2022

I believe it could be wrong for me or not advantageous for me to have more grace to aid me in journey to heaven faster and helping others in that journey perhaps through grace that it is wrong to put any desire above the Lord will as bible says delight yourself in the Lord and He will give the desires of your heart that it is not right for me to pursue any other will if I do not know it is God best will for me that He has shown me it would be best for me so I will not and seek to focus on serving

I always advise people to ask God if it is what he wants because it is what I did.

I asked God to slam the door on me if the person I was interested in was not the one He approved for me. They were all very good women. But they were not the right one for me. When I did find the one God approved of for me, I got a whole family, not just a wife.

mikeforjesus · Nov 23, 2022

That is good to pray I will pray that incase it works otherwise I would judge by whether God shows me signs to know if He can to show me if person is not sincere not to accept Christ or wants to follow Him

If you don’t know what you want don’t say you never had a chance

I did not want someone before because I thought perhaps I could do more single but I feel I would do more as married because it looks worse as single that others may not respect and I would be able to have children that can respect me to help me and who I can help to be Christian for them to be saved and I would have helper to be able to have goals to be able to work towards to make money to help other people

Besides both being believers, it is best for them to be near the same page in their Theology* and where God wants them to live/minister.

"All things are lawful for me,

but not all things are helpful;

all things are lawful for me,

but not all things edify." 1 Corinthians 10:23 NKJV

*Similar in their denominational beliefs.

I think, no lawful marriage can ever be sin

As long as it is a Christian man and a Christian woman with no living spouses or ex-spouses, marriage between the two will not be sinful, strictly speaking. But it's not always wise.

I believe your restriction of "no living spouses or ex-spouses" requires further clarification. Certainly the 'living spouse' scenario is correct as poligamy is not allowed, even in secular law. It would make the perpetrator an adulterer if they have abandoned their spouse in order to have a new relationship, i.e. whilst they're still legally married to their original spouse (even if not living with them). However the ex-spouse scenario is not so clear cut and it depends if the preceding divorce was 'Biblically Valid' or not. If the preceding divorce was 'Biblically Valid', then there are no restricions on a following new relatiionship should one occur. However, if the preceding divorce was 'Biblically Invalid' then any following relationship cannot be other than adulterous. This is a complex situation that cannot be adequately covered in a simple post such as this, but that is a basic overview of my understanding. The VALIDITY of any preceding divorce is paramount in understanding this sad subject.

in my opinion it is not a sin to remarry if person cheats

The person to suffer the most from a remarriage is the oldest child. David and Bathsheba lost their first child.

mikeforjesus · Dec 2, 2022

I agree but I am talking about those who did no wrong to remarry as they did not do the wrong.
