What Does the Bible Say About Singleness?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on singleness
Biblia hovorí o Slobode v mnohých miestach. Singleness je stav, ktorý môže byť považovaný za obdarovanie od Boha. Je to obdobie, kedy sa jednotlivec môže viac sústrediť na svoj vzťah s Bohom a plniť Jeho účel preňho. Biblia učí, že singleness môže byť časom plným úžitku a radosti, a nie je ničím menejcenným ako manželstvo.
