Mormon Doctrine, pg 118; “Its importance in the plan of salvation and exaltation cannot be overestimated. The most important things that any member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ever does in this world are: 1. To marry the right person, in the right place, by the right authority; and 2. To keep the covenant made in connection with this holy and perfect order of matrimony — thus assuring the obedient persons of an inheritance of exaltation in the celestial kingdom.”
1 Corinthians 7:1; “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.”
Why would Paul tell the men in Corinth it was okay not to marry (or to touch women) if marriage is essential to salvation?
Are there any examples in the Bible at all telling us we have to get married in order to be saved?
