often not discussed but well listen to



you can't have a society that doesn't follow creation order and remain and the west doesn't .

it's not alluded to in revalation but that the lone versus of the effiment shall not enter into the kingdom . that is part of Babylon as that culture was very much into moloch and had adronyous diety


and also a non Christian observation on it

 
Relationship, marriage, sex and children are all BLESSINGS from God, they're neither the purpose of Christianity, a commandment of God nor requirement for salvation. You come to church for the word of God, not a mate, and there's no guarantee of a suitable mate for you. This "purity culture" is a big problem in modern churches, it's a subtle form of prosperity gospel and idol worship, it sells a false promise that you'll find your soul mate, a godly righteous spouse to save you from your loneliness and gives you happiness, you'll enjoy mind blowing sex in your marital bed and have lots of godly babies, these are God's reward for your abstinence from sex, even though these only exists in romance fiction. Not only that, most of their services and messages are prioritized toward couples and families, while singles, either by choice or circumstance, are often marginalized, ignored, even maligned as ungoldly. We should prioritize on discovering our God given talents, and serve God with those talents, marriage life is rather a distraction, see 1 Cor. 7. If the birth rate is falling, that's God's will, it's just not a good time to marry and breed, and people know it - "Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!" (Matt. 24:19)
