Props to you for being able to overcome the sin, but I'm confused as to why this post begins the way it does. You say you did not do something because you knew it was wrong Biblically, and then you go into how you did something that you knew was wrong Biblically to avoid the thing that was wrong to do Biblically. That seems to clash with sin being sin. No one sin is lesser than the other. But the important thing I suppose is that you overcame what you wanted to overcome. That alone deserves an "amen". God bless.
A person sins even when they have knowledge because of flesh..some things can only be overcome by a change in life style.Isn't vain talk a sin and we do it when we know about it?

It's so not worth having sex before marriage, it creates a soul tie with the person.......and means working through stuff with God in your soul later........for a short time of pleasure, there's potentially a long time of going through restoration! Just say no to sex before marriage!
Enjoy God instead, it's more pleasurable to be around Him than having sex, delight in Him!
you're the man!:D

It's all in what 2 people agree to do, or what people are looking for. Some people are seeking marriage, a long term companion, etc. Some people don't want that, possibly not liking available options. I agree that little kids need the parents who are ready for it though.

the bible says, all through out that sex before marriage is of course a sin. I believe it is important to fufill this commandment, but wonder, what other Christians do around the world, during this relationship issue? Cuz the world takes sex for granted these days. Just curious

Thanks!
I've done it, but am not proud of it. Now I just try to stay celibate until marriage.

I have no problem with sex outside of marriage. I believe that when God puts a person in our lives that we want to share that with, and we feel it's right from an instinct point of view and the relationship is a healthy happy one, I believe it's ok to share that with the other person. Although they haven't worked out, I waited till i knew it was right and have no regrets looking back.

The bible says it clear that sex is right in marriage and bed is not defiled in this way.

However I get questions running through my head sometimes, first it was the children of Israel who wanted the law but not God.

Now with that in mind, it is clear that when you sleep with another man being a man yourself or with a woman being a woman yourself, you are committing sin, it's unnatural

But now it becomes very natural when you are attracted to have sex with a woman being a man even before marriage, God created it that way.

Now could it be that God didn't want to give us the law because anyone knows when doing wrong? but Israelites asked for it


Could it be that sex before marriage is the law of church but not of God just like the Jews had laws like before eating one should wash his hands?

Note that you become one with a woman once you sleep with her 'when two come together they become one" it doesn't stipulate that you become one with a woman after vows,


These are questions and I need answers?

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. - Proverbs 14:12


Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. - Galatians 5:19-21

God has a problem with it.

Sex was part of God's original plan for man. Sex should be done after marriage. If you truly love each other, you will wait until marriage. Because you want to preserve one another in purity for the day when you can say without reservation for each other: I am yours and you are mine. Without reservation, because you have pledge to each other, before God's church, and in the sight of men, that you accept full responsibility for one another. That moment is called marriage. To insist on union before that moment is to ask for the full privilege without accepting the total responsibility. This is sinful, selfish and unloving. True love will wait because in God's design, sexual union is the culmination not the initiation of true love, the supreme act of mutual self-giving. It is outward, physical expression of a deeper, spiritual union between two persons. And the two shall become one...Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:31

In short: Even within Christendom many want to taste the CAKE before it be bought.

I could tell more, but I cannot publish what i have learned for some reasons:

1) No full freedom of speech
2) My "truth" might be quite different from other´s life experiences
3) You have to find your truth (once U find it, many will agree or disagree)
4) More reasons and excuses...

But -the greater one- A) Why does a person want sex? To LOVE the other (the spouse)? ot to love himself/herself?

B) Was marriage granted to reprocuce human race or to reproduce the lorship of God and His Son Jesus?

From here you have some ideas to polish your thoughts... :)

I wonder what I would feel when my daughter thinks that way!

From my manly side I could say: "That´s OK" (particularly if I get the chance to try or taste the TAKE at NO COST.

From my life experience, because I have THOUGHT that way LARGELY, I see my fate would be eternally doing the same (sex) without an absolute commitment, because such as long-term relationship, are a lie and I stopped thinking that way by 2011 (the other persons I have loved never were tasted like my BED cake).

I don´t look back at those who left me nor at those I left (that´s over) but my time -also- is getting over (No regret! I´m gonna win, somehow).

My fault! (absolutely mine) was trusting me rather than GOD. I know my economic status (and many things in my life) are not those that could be sought after, because marriage is a miracle, a gift, not the way I used to see it...

Doesn't the word, fornication, mean sex before marriage? So, wouldn't that basically say sex isn't marriage?
