So there are alot of angry Christians out there, mad at other Christians who do not get married and have children. Some have even called me a Satanist because Im not married. Its a commandment by God. Be fruitful and multiply.

Thing is I cant. Im a typical adult neckbeard who lives with his parents working a low wage job. I dont have many skills, plus im fairly unattractive so marriage is out of the question. No woman would want me, and even if one did her life would be worse for it.

Now I could jump on the hamster wheel of self improvement and work on this, but its going to take awhile.

So my question is this. Am I going to hell if I never marry? What if the Lord is calling me to remain single? Or what if Im just inadequate the rest of my life? And are there not bible passages saying singleness is preferable provided you are celibate?

>Marriage. I can't.

Not going to try give you some sort of preachy chat on this one. But don't have that attitude to it if possible. Indifference is fine in the fact that you are happy doing whatever God has laid out for you.

>Now I could jump on the hamster wheel of self improvement and work on this, but its going to take awhile.

May as well get started now anon. Your body is the temple to the Holy Spirit, give it a nice renovation and take care of it better. If you take enough effort here your issues in the previous issue may fade away. It will just take time. Be patient. There's no harm in beginning this path of self improvement.

As to your actual questions:

>Am I going to hell if I never marry?

No

>What if the Lord is calling me to remain single?

Then so be it. Be open to whatever the Lord calls for you to do. That is not to say to commit yourself to be single. It is to be receptive to whatever happens in your life, if nobody comes into your life then so be it. If a woman does come into your life, don't shun her because you have already decided God wants you to be single. Unless you have had a pretty impressive revelation that it is the case.

>Or what if Im just inadequate the rest of my life?

Get out of that mentality. Do something about it. That's a Judas mentality, don't be a Judas.

>And are there not bible passages saying singleness is preferable provided you are celibate?

Yes.

>1 Corinthians

8 Now to the unmarried[a] and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

It’s not a sin to be single seeing as different biblical figures, including Christ Himself, encouraged it. Here’s a good article on it:

We were made in His image and God gives life for a reason. Thinking yourself utterly worthless is like spitting God in the face. Get out of this mindset now!

Talk to a priest about your travails and learn to ask for help. We were not made to fix everything by ourselves no matter what libertarians say.

I'll pray for you anon.

Dont know which is sadder, an anon writing this much broscience and oversimplifications or an other anon saving these pics and reposting them. Women have different personalities too, though as a man being firm is necessery.

Of course not, there are these people out there called MONKS and NUNS, who are very holy people and who are not going to hell, at least, they not going to hell according to everybody but the most bigoted anti-Catholics.

Not to mention the Lord Himself.

If you want marriage - be a man and do what you need to do even if it's going to be long and tedious.

Of course, there is such a thing as celibacy, and it's virtuous and holy. If you are called to it, then do it. But if not - improve yourself, because otherwise it's only going to get worse; it's late, but the later you start, the harder it will be, so start as soon as possible. And if you don't start because you can't handle the hardships, man up - this will be essential in both starting a relationship and keeping it.

That image reeks of despair. I hope it wasn't you who wrote it, OP.
