53. Distress, Decisions, and Destiny 1 Co 7:29–31

Explicit

In our previous discussion, we acknowledged the limited time we had to delve into why Paul favors celibacy over marriage, not only for himself but also for anyone who seems equipped to embrace it willingly. Nevertheless, he does acknowledge that if one finds it challenging to control one's desires, "it is better to marry than to burn." He also clearly states that individuals who choose to marry have not sinned. However, ultimately, he expresses the view that remaining unmarried is a preferable choice. The question arises: why did he believe it was more advantageous not to marry?
