ForeverHis42 - Of course. I am sorry. The point I was trying to make was that people need to make their own decisions (guided by religion or not) but ultimately a decision they are happy with.

This is a good example of the worldly perspective of sex. Even from a worldly argument though, the benefits of waiting until marriage greatly outweigh the costs. Why don't most people wait then? Because we live in a culture where we don't believe in delayed gratification. This is a good example because it shows the cognitive dissonance of a worldly view of sex. Someone who has had sex has to justify it by convincing other people that it's okay.
Amen, todays world people just want pleasure instead of realising that they are using that person for there own personal pleasure and fulfillment. God hate's sin for a reason, broken homes, unplanned babies who do the same thing when they get older. It is very serious to fall into the temptation of Sex before marriage, hurting the spirit of God inside of you and abusing the Grace of God.

Sex will not make you happy, it will not make everything ohk if you get married, it's knowing Jesus Christ and who he is and what he has done. Yes, we make mistake's but we live under grace and should not tempt ourselfs in this area as we will be judge on judgment day for all the sins we have done.

God says he will provide with living water, go to him in FAITH and ask for that water if you find youself getting caught out and confused. God care's and know our needs we have to be patient and wait on him, we should no encourage people to have sex before marriage! Read your bible people! God calls us to be holy as he is holy so honour God with your body.

I as a female truly believe in saving myself till marriage, I used to wonder if it was because I was insecure about my body but as I have grown I realize it has always been my one huge promise I made to God when I was young. The problem is Im scared to get into relationships because I feel like no guy would ever wait. This scares me and makes me feel alone does anyone else feel this way?
Hey sister, nope there are guys out there willing to wait. I'm one of em... I'm 25 years old and still waiting... don't get scared ok, just pray and keep waiting. I think it's awesome your waiting and I tip my hat to you =]

Whoever your husband is will be one very fortunate guy for looking to God's will.

Yeah... like ALL the guys are born perverts :p We dont think about anything else other than sex. True that... -_- *Sarcasm*

Listen missy some men are just tired of waiting.. But they still wait. They get peer pressures all the time. They get names such as weirdo, hobo, gay and what not. BUT they still wait. Sometimes they get scared and ask God "Jesus Im saving myself... will my wife do the same thing?!" It makes them sweat in a cold winter day. Trust me I know. Because I'm one of them. You will find your man in God's timing :D

Lol. LordyBee2, I like you a lot. I agree with a lot of what you're saying. I think the best moral code to live by, though, is not to harm others and to share happiness with them. If you're doing that, you're doing it right.

My first husband and I didn't wait. However we were each others first kiss and all that. Thought that was all special and great...However, my current husband (second) and I waited till after we were married. I think it was entirely better then the first time. Seeing I've experienced both sides I would highly suggest waiting.

Yes I agree on saving yourself until marriage because premarital sex is sin but if you already lost your virginity and you accept Jesus in your life he will purify you and cleanse you from all your sins.

How's this for a start?

1 Corinthians 7:2
2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.

Matthew 5:28
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Having sex without marry is a sin. Sex was made only for married people and those who wait to have sex until they are married are blessed and rewarded for waiting. The devil knows the handsome reward waiting all those who have waited until married before having sex. Because of the Great reward involve in keeping your virginity until married, the devil is trying to prevent us not to have this reward and some of us have fall into his trap by having sex without marry.All those who keep their virginity to their Husband or Wife are greatly rewarded by GOD ALMIGHTY. So do everything in your power to keep your virginity until the right time.

Fornication typically refers to consensual sexual intercourse between two people not married to each other.(by wikipedia)


1 corinthians 6 ( KJV)

18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1 Thessalonians 4:3

King James Version (KJV)

3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

Hello,

As a guy reading this forum i would like to say that there are guys would love to wait with you :) If you get into a relationship and the guy wants to have sex with you I personally would tell him to --edited for language--, your body is precious and GOD will bless you if you wait :)

I hope this helps a little

You'll be alright, OP. You don't want to end up with that kind of guy anyway. You'll find someone who respects your decisions.

Lonely123, Don't lose heart. God will bring you a man who is willing to wait for you. I am still waiting for marriage. Until then, I remain a virgin for the man God is preparing for me. (And preparing me for him, too) You'll find a wonderful man! I am sure of it!

i think all guys r naturally wired for that sort of thing. but the good ones dont give in while the bad ones let it take over. ick. i will pray for u. i may only be 13 but i already have a policy set for when i get older- i wont date anyone who cant accept me for who i am, has a bad reputation, or that I dont know enough about to really trust.
