The Bible (sometimes The Holy Bible, Scripture, The Word of God), is the name used by Jews and Christians for their differing (and overlapping) canons of sacred texts.
Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox and some others include books which Protestants do not, Judaism accepts the Tanakh (whose books are contained in the Christian Old Testament), not the New Testament, and Muslims may accept certain books concerning the prophets.
Many people who identify themselves as Christians, Muslims, or Jews regard the Bible as inspired by God yet written by a variety of imperfect men over thousands of years.
Wide variations exist in interpretation and acceptance of the accuracy and legitimacy of various books and passages.
Some denominations emphasize a strict literal interpretation, while others view the text more symbolically, or as a combination of literal truth and symbolism; yet others view the Bible as a story of a people in history struggling to understand a living God.
The Bible as used by the majority of Christians includes the Hebrew Scripture, the Deuterocanonical books and the New Testament, which relates the life and teachings of Jesus, the letters of St Paul and other disciples to the early church and the book of Revelation.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ... CHOOSING A MATE?
|
|
To understand how God feels about this subject, we must examine The Bible.
Titus 2: 3-5
Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children,
to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
Genesis 2: 18
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Choosing a mate is a decision that should be made carefully, prayerfully, and very seriously. The Lord wants to bring a mate to those who will ask Him and have the patience to wait for His choice. Looking for a man or woman to just keep them from being lonely or just to fill their needs or to be a father or mother to their children should not be the only reasons for desiring a mate. They also need to be concerned about what kind of husband or wife they would be for a mate. These single people are still much in the flesh if they just want their own needs met. They should ask the Lord to fill them with His love and peace.
Being single is an important time to prepare us for marriage. It can also be a time to experience a closer communion with God. As we seek God to cleanse us of the world and help us become the kind of wife or husband that would bless someone, we will soon find that we are not lonely.
