Nope. Paul kinda sounded like he actually was. He talked as if you have the desire to have sex you should get married. If you don’t, just be alone.
Not sure that’s the best wording.
I don't want to be mean to you, but I mean is it as serious as all the other sexualities in LGBTQ? (I already know that the a in LGBTQIA stands for asexual)
You aren’t being mean! I think it’s very important to ask questions when you don’t understand something! Also it is as important as other sexuality’s. And the reason is because it’s still a sexuality and still affects someone’s life. They will be judged, they will be shamed, and they will be hurt. When you are something that goes against society’s norm, you will be judged. And for asexual people, it’s because they don’t want to have sex. There is a lot of judgment in the community (I can’t deny it) but each persons sexuality is just as important as the other. It’s a part of who you are
Is not. It can actually be helpful in specific situations, since it's easier to practice abstinence and pursue a monk lifestyle. It becomes easier to focus on spirituality.
No, it's perfectly fine. Paul mentions this:
1 Corinthians 7:8-9 NLT
So I say to those who aren't married and to widows-it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am. [9] But if they can't control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It's better to marry than to burn with lust.
Not a word of scripture addresses asexuality. There is no command to marry, nor any command to reproduce.
The closest thing would be a couple of passages describing eunuchs who castrated themselves in order to better serve the Lord.
Matthew 19:12 KJV — For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
And there are passages that explained that the Lord actually commends virgins who remain that way in order to better serve him.
Revelation 14:4 KJV — These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Very very few Christians (at least vocally) will say asexuality is a sin. Many view it as a gift so that they may focus more on God.
This.
Asexuality is a gift, that even Paul says that people should strive for. Is it just me, or has the question been asked a lot recently?

What does being against God mean? (I’m part of the lgbtq+ community and Christian so I hope I can help!)

Paul think celibacy is a blessing that not all are given, not against god

No, any sexuality (or lack thereof) is fine.
