Exactly. Paul wasn’t giving lifestyle advice. He was dismantling the lie that fulfillment comes from marriage, status, or bloodline. The irony: this person may not even be a follower of the Way, yet the evangelical church in the U.S. has absorbed a secular theology that treats marriage as salvation. That’s the Pioneer Fund’s legacy — race science rebranded as “family order,” preached as Gospel. Paul’s message was the opposite: identity in Christ, not reproduction or heritage. The church stopped preaching resurrection and started preaching lineage.

I 100% agree with you. I misunderstood your point originally. Family is incredibly fulfilling but only Jesus provides lasting and eternal fulfillment.
