I need advice from u all.. I have bf and being together for 2 and half years now..we already doing sex.. I know i commit sin..I repent from it and then fall again..this situation happen over and over again. I tell him i don't want to do it anymore coz i know i'm going to hell but he said, he can't control himself. He is actually active at church..when we chat, he ask me to do cyber sex and also ask me to send naked photo of me when we are apart. He tell me we better married to prevent us from doing this sin.. The thing is i'm not prepare yet, i still want to study and got offer to continue degree..if we married i need to forget my will because i need to work to survive because his income is low and unable to support both of us..i'm not sure if i want to live this life..I really need your advice and opinion on this..what should i do now?

He doesn't love you, love doesn't push sex and sending naked photos and cyber sex. You'll find a much, much better guy who does love you.

Honestly, I think he lacks self control and is controlled by his lust. If you are in a relationship which is not centered on Christ but on fulfilling the needs of the flesh and mind, and if your partner does not want to put God's laws first then quit that relationship. marriage is above being in love and walking in Christ as husband and wife. You don't get married to make what is a sin into not a sin otherwise your marriage will end up in loneliness and confusion. If you want to get married, get married because you want that person to be the one to help you draw closer to God and to be with you to raise the next generation. God bless

Definately not a good idea to get married for that reason, marriage is for life so getting married to have sex is silly, you might not want them forever and if he can't control his lust now and is happily acting on it before marriage knowing its a sin why would he stop following his lust after marriage?

that guy wont help you grow in your christianity. each day that comes we must draw closer and closer to God. with that behaviour he is potraying, he is likely to pull u away from the lord completely. if you have talked to him many times over your desire not to fornicate and he isnt changing then please distance yourself from him.

You should dump the boyfriend, get your degree and wait for marriage until someone who respects you and your faith comes along.

Thanks Julianna, your suggestion is under my consideration. i'm thinking on how to make it happen..hehe.. i think i accept the offer which is in another state..avoid him for 3 to 4 years and see what happen..I think I can't dump him just like that because we know each other family..i don't know yet how to dump him but I pray for God's intervention on it. But i'm not sure if i can meet someone who can accept and respect me after sin that i have done.

Dump him and run away fast. He just wants in your pants and doesn't care about you at all.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Does this sound like how he treats you? Especially the highlighted sections? Doesn't sound like love to me.

Also, getting married because you're sleeping together and thinking 'now we can make it ok' will not work. Discuss with any good Christian marriage counselor and the FIRST thing they tell you... if you're having sex already, stop making wedding plans. Bottom line is his heart is wrong, getting married won't make his heart right. He'll just be a married guy with a bad heart, and selfish intentions.

God can absolutely bring someone into our lives to love us after we have made such mistakes. Some people are wise enough to respect a person who admits their mistakes, learns from them, gives it all to God and stays in the race. :) God bless you.

RUN for your life!!!!!!

Run from this guy and this relationship for the sake of your future children and your grandchildren.
I do not care one jot if this guy calls himself a 'Christian' because by his behaviour he is in fact NOT one. He is not only a hypocrite but also a pervert and a manipulator.
Yes you are in this sin with him, but his behaviour is appalling even more by the fact that he is asking you to participate in cybersex and sending him naked photos of yourself knowing full well that this is wrong biblically, so there is no way this guy can claim any spiritual or moral ignorance. Please STOP enabling him immediately. If he is away often and asking for naked photos I would then make an educated guess that he is also looking at some form of pornography (which he might feel guilty about and therefore feel justified by asking for 'porn' containing images of you).

Not only should you break up with him, but you should alert Pastoral Elders or a trusted pastor over the sin you share and repent asap and also what he is asking of you. In order to obtain the honour of serving in church with the goal of being in some form of leadership position (which all men are in anyway), men need to meet the character qualities of 1 Timothy 3:

Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[ respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap. 8 In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9 They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.



This is the standard of all male leaders, and since in Hebrews 13:7 tells church members to imitate their leaders, this list of behaviour is held for all men in the church, and your boyfriend fails miserably at this test. He has already cheated his future wife (which you do not hold title to and might never), hes preaching a false doctrine with his outward behaviour when his heart is thinking evil, and he is sexually abusing you by expecting intimate privileges of marriage without having earnt anything by being faithful to Gods standards.


If you marry him, your life will not improve but worsen. And by seeking marriage just to justify sexual sin is the worlds worst proposal and you should be deeply insulted. Break up with him and continue your education and get some counselling re your sin from someone trusted in your church. And above all else, ask the Holy Spirit for conviction on your behaviour so you can effectively pull the plug on this relationship and sin.

If this man is selfish and lustful how is he preventing sin by marriage? Sure, the act of sex itself is no longer sinful, but his heart is still lustful and selfish, marriage won't change that. Entering into marriage with selfishness usually only leads to divorce. And lust is likely to lean to him cheating, since sex is what is important to him, not people.

Thanks for reminding me with biblical verse from 1 Chorinthians 13: 4-8, reminding me of how love should be..realize that what I have is out of way. Also, u make me realize the marriage things 'now we can make it ok' will never work.. I think i don't want to discuss with marriage counselor (because i will not married with him anyway) but straight to Pastor that I trust to ask what should i do to win God's heart back, Also on how to prevent me from doing silly sin anymore..TQ so much ,God Bless
