This is true. But you refuse to deal with the real, underlying problem in your life...you are not satisfied in God. Because of this, you are looking to find in a wife what only God can give.
I know you will find this difficult to believe, but as you are now, being married would bring you far more grief than blessing.

he can't get married because he is addicted to sex. A person who talks about sex, self-gratification, and false narratives ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE having SEX is a classic case of one suffering from an addiction.

Over 40 years of pleading and he still will not open the way.

For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.…Romans Romans 9:15

why the constant thinking about sex 24/7?
Click to expand...
people who talk about it 24/7 do so because it stimulates them sexually. Those addicted to sex need a venue to expose their lust. Most of the time, unchecked will turn more perverted.

Sure, that's the physical reality. But there is an underlying spiritual cause...God alone isn't enough.

You are not telling the truth. You don't want help. You are bound by sexual idolatry and enjoy the stimulation you get from these kinds of threads you create. Then play the victim to justify your addiction.

Read the book of Job some time. By your view, Job wasn't satisfied with GOD so GOD caused him pain.

Stop eating for 2 weeks so I can tell you, the problem is YOU keep putting food over GOD. Put Jesus first and you won't be hungry anymore.

I dont believe it because if you wanted to get married there are many single christian women even from different countries. Many men have achieved this, why not you?

I've noticed that John B., with a few very rare exceptions, never ventures beyond his own threads. If it's not about him he isn't interested. A little difficult to attract or keep a good female with that attitude. He seem to be able to attract all the bad ones though.

I don't have the money to bring someone here. You also have not seen GOD blocking the way in my dating life. You don't know they ways I've looked. As one friend told me......John, you're not married, but it's not for lack of trying. Another told me.....John, I have never seen anyone put so much into dating and come up with nothing.

Love the book of Job. Perhaps you should read it more carefully. Here are a few of the lessons of Job:

1. Worship is the proper response to hardship...The Lord gives, the Lord takes. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
..
2. Trust should be another response...Though He slay me, I will trust Him.

3. God's purpose in bringing hardship is always our profit and His glory...I had heard of Thee with the hearing of my ear, but now my eye seeth Thee.

The purpose of hardship is to strip us of all else that we may experience God in new and fuller ways. If you were to see your hardship this way, you would see God and not yourself.

He also said no one is given or taken in marriage. The verse you posted does not void out the other words of Jesus.
