The Brilliance of God's Plan!
Captain Sensible writes: Having just re-read some of Mark Greene's words about God's plan to create a wife for Adam, to be his life-saving co-partner in our mission to steward God's creation (my paraphrase), I am just struck by the utter brilliance of God's plan in designing marriage. And that's just seeing it as through a glass darkly!
How loving and compassionate of God to allow us to have a special helper in life. Someone that we can experience and explore the shared joys and almost indescribable delights of the romantic and erotic love that He created with. Someone to help us as we navigate our way through life's trials and tribulations, challenges and successes, and have the even greater blessing of being able to do the same for them. Yes, God can provide for all our needs. But He has decided not to do that directly Himself always. He decided that we also need a human companion in order to live life to the full and blessed that relationship with wonderful pleasures for us! What incredible love there is to be found within it: the love of a man and his wife, mother and child, father and son or daughter. Nothing else on earth comes anywhere near close to that. Yes, there are different loves and joys. But I do believe this is an actual need for our being to thrive, as essential as food, shelter and the air that we breathe. I think that might be why for those small number of eunuchs that are Biblically exempted from marriage, (and obviously that does not include those that just happen to be single, or want to shirk their responsibility of a spouse and raising a family!) God has promised greater blessings. He knows what they are missing out on.
How ridiculous to paint singleness in the same light as marriage! What a nonsense that makes of God's brilliant creational plan!
Let's not tolerate these ungodly, ugly lies any more!
