Yes, I honestly do believe God is pressuring me to marry and have children. I don't feel any peace when it comes to dating and marriage. I hear God saying if you don't get married and have children like good Christians do, I will revoke your salvation and send you to hell.

I don't like being tormented by this. I could pray about this, except I feel it is God who is putting those burdens on my shoulders. What should I do?

What should you do? Let Him send you to hell.
That will be much better than living with someone you hate but God made you marry anyway.

I think given a little time that feeling will pass. But if it doesn’t.

Plan on getting married to a same sex partner and adopt kids.

I think God will stop bugging you soon.

God wouldn't destroy a mans life like that!!!! No but serious. What if your marriage doesn't work out? Do you blame it on God because he made you get married? Will you no longer take his advice?

If God told you to jump off a cliff, would you do it?
Maybe it's time to start listening to your own logic and reason.You were given a brain so you would use it.

First of all, God isn't telling you these things. God does not send people to hell for "not getting married and having children like good Christians do." People go to hell because they deny Him. I think Satan/demons are telling you lies and causing you this torment and lack of peace. I will be praying for you.

Sorry but it's not God putting a burden on you, you're putting it on yourself. There's nothing in the Bible that says we have to marry and have children....as a matter of fact, a life of purity and celibacy is very pleasing to God. Maybe you're having premarital sex and your conscience is bothering you? Date, enjoy your life and relax a little.

perhaps God would be just as pleased if you were to remain single (as some of His followers were),and do His work? I see your own concious bothering you as to what you *think God wants,not what He really wants.(jmo).

Talk to a therapist. I am not being sarcastic. Find a Christian one if you prefer, but make an appointment. This is an obsessional-thoughts type of thing, not God, but you.
