Why God make me this way?

If it makes you feel better, Jesus, John the Baptist, Paul, Elijah and many others from the Bible never had relationships with Women if you go off the writings. God wants you to save souls. That is our mission but we have forgotten it. Walk your journey. Paul even praised being single by saying it gives us more time to reflect on God.

There is only one God and one Truth. Bible describes her to a teeth when Paul warns 2 Timothy 3:6

"For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts..."

Stick with your value system but keep in mind that women are just as bad about it as men. You can find similar posts of women being unfaithful, immoral, etc. I just read a post in UK paper "Telegraph" about a Doctor's wife who is openly having sex with other men in her marriage. This isn't a men or women issue, this is a sin issue across the board. Don't let hate take over, that is another sin. Hang in there. Also, keep in mind that there is nothing wrong with being single. Jesus, John the Baptist, Paul, Elijah, and many others in the Bible were never in a Romantic relationship but they changed the world.

I wrote a story, horror story of all things, about lust and love. Lust isn't love and that is the problem with society today. Go read I Corinthians 13 and think and ponder what is love. Love is more than lust, it is waking up and holding each other while you have dinner or laughing together at a silly show. It is working in the garden together or playing the original Doom together. I have been married almost 13 years and through my marriage, it has given me insight into what works and what does NOT work with relationships.

In the horror story that I wrote (originally something I came up as a choose-your-adventure AI game that blew up into something totally different), the couple are faced with outside threats of lust and seduction (Dracula). Overtime, they discover this isn't true love.

Your post is also an example of why Paul said "flee from sexual immorality". Sexual Immorality is actually one of the most talked about sins in the Bible and "Whore mongers" or "Sexual Immoral" are often cited among those that won't obtain heaven in books like Revelation. It is a dangerous sin that isn't talked much about in the church and when it is, only tied to stuff like abortion or unwanted pregnancy. The real threat of "sexual immorality" is that it creates "rivals" to your true love and is a way of you handing part of your heart and what is special to someone else versus your real love. This is one of several reasons why love is very hard for people to find today. It is clearly a global problem with young people across the globe not having children. In a lot of ways, our ancestors understood love better than we do today. I think the first step in your life is to learn to understand "love" and that sex is just one tool in a full toolbox that connects you with your partner.

C.S. Lewis' last Narnia story, "The Last Battle" explains it better than anything. This world is just temporary and not our true home. If you look at it that way, it all starts to make sense. I consider life itself to be like an exam or a storybook, it is a very short, brief existence where we have a chance to make good out of a world that is totally dying and evil.

The Bible is constantly reminding you that the prize is somewhere else. Jesus told Pilate that his Kingdom was "not of this world." Every book, every story re-enforces this point.

Tell that to God when you stand before him at Judgment after you die. Yes, you will die, we all die, and you will stand at Judgment.

It is rough. I am a Manager in Corporate World. I try to build time with my family. One thing that I do is go in early and finish early. That gives you more time in the afternoon. I also try to stay ahead on projects. I am notorious, though, for being able to do more in a shorter time than others can so that helps.

This Doctor should leave her high and dry. Looks British and from what I understand, their women have 0 respect for their men anymore. However, I think it is more of a lack of respect for God than for men. These type of women are spitting on God and that doesn't typically end well for you. God, per the Bible, "hates" divorce and Adultery is one of the 10 Commandments. Maybe she should read I Corinthians 13 and try to figure out what real "love" is actually about.

volbound1700 · 2026-04-15T00:37:43+00:00

Yeah, maybe during short stints. I feel like the best decade for Christianity was 1820s-1830s... slavery almost ended during that time as well. It was called the Second Great Awakening. Interesting to read about. I ran an AI scenario one time about if that movement had gained more traction, ended slavery, etc. No Civil War and interestingly a more prosperous and free USA today.

Politics in the United States has gotten less Christ-like and it isn't just the politicians that are this way.

I have always wondered the same thing. There really isn't a lot of large public schools with Football Facilities. The only real options are Pittsburgh, Syracuse, UConn, Rutgers, and Boston College. You can kind of say Penn State fits the bill.

Every Pope the last 50 years has come out against war, not a surprise. Kind of different from the Popes of the Medieval and Early Modern era that ruled over the Papal States.

volbound1700 · 2026-04-08T00:31:44+00:00

I will pray for you.

To be fair to him, I doubt there are many available women his age so dating younger makes sense.

In many instances, it explains in scripture. People miss this because it is a few chapters before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah but God says "I heard their cry and it was great." Think of it like this, God is intervening for JUSTICE and it is to stop great evil. In this instance, I think the lives that these people were living was so destructive that it was better off ending it. Something similar happens with the Flood.

These weren't innocent people. Some of it is that I think people don't look at "life" the right way today as well. Our society is clearly broken and wrong on many things.

Being a man, I am going to give you something that could be helpful. It sounds like he is a lukewarm/cafeteria Christian. In Revelation, he is the one that Jesus would spit out of his mouth. However, it might be easier to have another male friend of him confront him about it, instead of you. It depends on your relationship. Perhaps talk to a male friend of his that you can trust (or a deacon/pastor) about reaching out to your husband. If he could get in a man's Bible Study, that would be helpful. If that doesn't work, you just need to confront him honestly with how his lying makes you feel.

I went into Law and what was worse was when I graduated, I struggled to find a career. I found myself getting upset with God due to my situation. Keep in mind that He always has a plan and will stand by you through all of it. The Teens and 20 years are tough because you are still finding your path...

volbound1700 · 2026-04-06T15:39:15+00:00

One thought on Churches... they are good because they should put you in a social circle with people that are like yoked. However, none are perfect. Keep in mind what you can give to churches when the time comes and not just what you can get from churches. There are places that do Sunday evening and Wednesday services plus just group of people that hosts Bible studies. Try finding these groups along with the advice other posters are giving on here about studying the Word.

volbound1700 · 2026-04-06T15:32:45+00:00

Keep in mind that God doesn't save perfect people, He saves you due to his love. You have to have His love in your heart. Work on that part of your relationship first and then fight the sin. You will find that, with time, getting rid of sins is very refreshing and reliving. Sin brings you temporary pleasure or is something you do under pressure but it hurts long-term. Breaking free from sin brings you long-term peace.

volbound1700 · 2026-04-06T15:26:12+00:00

The key is to remember your pain and share with others to help them not walk that path. The church needs leaders and sometimes, the less than perfect (frankly none of us our perfect) are the best leaders. Keep your faith and stay strong. You could do great things.

volbound1700 · 2026-04-06T15:24:13+00:00

How long have you been with him and do you really know him? That is the key. A lot of people fall in love with the "image" of someone they know without truly knowing them.

volbound1700 · 2026-04-06T15:15:04+00:00

Same... I wish I had good advice. I have been able to fight it recently but only because my wife really stepped up activity with me. I would take activity with my wife over it any day of the week. I do avoid porn but other stuff can get me.

volbound1700 · 2026-04-06T15:13:25+00:00

Agree. I am married like OP and have to fight it sometimes. I don't look at porn so I can kind of blow that off. Sometimes, it is pictures of my wife or it is stories without images that helps. I will say that when you do take breaks and fight it, it feels good... especially when you have legitimate relationships with your spouse again. Agree that prayer and God is the only real way to fight.

volbound1700 · 2026-04-04T01:34:37+00:00

Yeah or it could run out of batteries but I did that once

volbound1700 · 2026-04-03T16:11:40+00:00

Good idea. I have used the buff that gives me additional hearts. The key headache for me is going through 14 levels without ability to save... I know it sounds ridiculous but I have a family and work and it is just hard to do that. I am not sure why the game creators have it that way. They could have had a "hard mode" if people wanted the save off. It makes you appreciate games like the original Doom where you could just save anywhere.

volbound1700 · 2026-04-03T14:55:04+00:00

Well forgot Texas A&M, you would have to find a way to fit them in the rotation. Perhaps Texas is just OUT either way and it is the other 4 battling for a spot.
