No. He spoke his wishes. But if Paul thought G-d's plan was for everyone to be single, he would have said, everyone should remain single. He didn't say that did he? Did he say everyone should remain single? Did he say everyone shouldn't get married? Did he say marriage is a sin? Answer that question, and you will have the answer to your own.
Does it say that it is not good for a man to touch a women? No it does not. So I accept what the text says, just as it is said.
Because the devil knows that the best way to defeat an enemy is to divide and conquer. And maybe the reason so many believe different things is because they read into the text what is not said, and try and apply it to everyone else.
No, I am. Thank you though for your critique.
It is literal Word of God, and should be interpreted, only with itself. The word has been kept pure through thousands of ages. The only errors are in the translation, which is why I, and most good pastors, study the Hebrew, Latin and Aramaic. I have yet to find any significant errors worth reporting to date.
I'm with your brother. If he knows the one true G-d personally, then he is my brother, whom I'll be with in Heaven for eternity.
First, I always remember that the days of the apostles are over. There is only one that speaks for G-d now, and that's his word. Dobson may saying something fine, but ultimately, if it doesn't match up with the Bible, he's out. Same for any other preacher.
Second, since I know I'm under the new testament, the old testament is more of an example to me, than a literal do this. It's example of people making good and bad choices, and what happened to them after each. In the new testament, there are things which were demanded of specific people at specific times.
I realize that if I am called to do something, then I must do as I am called. Wether it is to give up my job and do missionary work, or to help someone stuck on the side of the highway, or whatever it is that G-d may call me to do.
For examples, it says husbands, and then lists a bunch of commands. I am not a husband. Obviously those commands are not for me. Or when it says 'all you', and says things like 'let not sexual immorality be named among you'. All you, seems to indicate everyone. That would then include me.
Ah, see? Your answer betrays you. If poor is determined by how much do I have, then clearly I might be poor even now, and thus I am abiding by this law that you have been beating me with for 6 posts now! 
What if we're all poor already? I'm not wealthy or penniless as is. So maybe I'm following all these rules your complaining about?
LOL! Socialism! You people never give up! It's failed every time it's tried, yet here you are promoting it again. 3rd world USSA. I can see it now.
Proud to be among the family of G-d. You should get to know him too.
When you interpret, you don't just take a verse and make up a meaning to it. You compare it to other sections, and determine how it fits. For example, if there was a verse that talked about selling your stuff and giving money away, you don't just conclude that this must apply to everyone everywhere for everything. You compare it to other verses in the Bible.
For example, in Acts 4:36 there was a man named Barnabas, who had some land, and sold it. He then gave the land to the church, and the church helped the poor with it. (both my parents church, and my own, have special funds specifically for this purpose in accordance with this and other scriptures)
Now, did Barnabas have other lands? Sure. Did he have other wealth? No doubt. But did he sell some and give to the poor? Yup. So did he follow this scripture? Absolutely.
So we are interpreting the other scripture, with this scripture. That is the way it's meant to work. We are not just pulling some words out of context and slapping whatever meaning we have on it.
I'm not. Thanks.
It's not mine to judge. G-d says it's wrong. Not me. When people die, I might be called as a witness on judgement day, but I will not be the judge, nor will my opinion be asked. The one judge will only ask if I told them what his word said, and I will answer 'yes'. After that, I will be dismissed, and they alone will face the verdict.
What if G-d's wish for me, is to uphold his laws? I have no intention of telling others how to live, but as it relates to G-d's law, I must uphold it. That will never change.
Wow. Well, I don't think I have an answer for this. I don't remember giving you grief, and if I have, I apologize. I don't remember denying anything, but then, this whole thread was supposed to be about Ann coulter, and had nothing to do with you or your views.
A lie is the purposeful attempt to deceive. I do not believe you have tried this. I think you are so one sided in your understand and world view, that you believe unsupportable things.
As for being merciful, I'll say it again, G-d does forgive, and he will forgive you for everything if you repent. Repent and turn away from your sin, and the hope and assurance of Heaven can be yours.
