  • hi ma'am i was wondering should i just give up on women,dating,dating and relationships even though I'm 23 and i still live with my parents and I'm still a virgin and I'm saving virginity till marriage and yes i admit I'm super skinny and i know I'm unattractive and i refuse to date a nonbeliever and i will only date a believer/or at least a true christian girl or a true christian woman so now i don't know should i just give up on women,dating,dating and relationships or not thanks for your

  • @thecrown871 Hi there. If you are born again and you want God's best for your life the best thing to do is to bring your desire for a partner to Him, and then be willing to do it His way. There is no reason for you to give up hope, 23 isn't exactly over the hill:-) and God does have His time for things in our lives. You are right to hold out for the real thing, rather than compromise and date unbelievers. God does bless people who do things His way and are willing to wait for His timing.

  • Hi, I know I don't know you, but is it ok if I post this on my Facebook?

  • @Lavenderrose73 Hi there. Yes you are welcome to use any of our videos, they are there for people to use.

  • amen sister xx

  • is it ok if two people that love eachother and are in love with eachother that soon to marry but their only making love with eachother and have been together for 4 years. is it a sin to continue to make love while not married? but i believe its better to marry then to burn but also if you marry the wrong one you will get burnt.

  • @shawntyrellhanks Yes, until you actually are married, it is fornication, which is a sin.

  • What if you get raped? :O

  • @HufflepuffSpirit Then you report the perpetrator to the police and bring your pain to God and allow Him to heal you. Being raped isn't the same as having sex. It is being assaulted.

  • :)

  • Hi, To understand better your concept that pre-marital sex is a sin we should review our concept of marriage in the biblical way. Why a prist would not give the blessing before the couple gets the "licence"from the state. Did you see on your bible a verse that state that a prist should be there to give the blessing?Do you see the presence of state and church in the biblical couples? Why so many christian couples instead of receiving a"bless"they receive a curse of divorcing soon?Open your EYES

  • @ronyen777 if you have sex with someone your bonded to them spiritually, if you have sex with someone whos not your wife its liek youtr marrying them, and becoming spiritually connectd....you cant do that with anyone but your wife

  • I find it okay for people not to have sex. I find it okay for people to have religion. I find it okay for people not to have sex for their religion. But, I also find it okay for people to have sex and not have a religion. I am sure their are people who have a religion and have sex.I think I covered everything?As for god, I'm a respectful atheist... Why does a divine power need to flyby everything you will do... Because in the end, all that matter was,"Were you really you?"

  • @granddad2002 Hi there. Actually what really matters in the end is "Do you know Jesus as your personal Saviour?" That is the only way a person can be saved from an eternity in hell, and this should be a priority, not an afterthought. Regarding the video message: If a person loves God then they want to do things His way knowing it is the best path. Sex outside fo marriage is sin, sin is a serious thing to God, so serious that Jesus went to the cross so we could be forgiven.

  • I don't understand what she's saying but English accents are hott, and so is this girl. Guessing the topic wasn't exactly the reason for this many hits.

  • i love u jesus,

  • Did Jesus say anything about this, does anyone know?

  • @wildsabes Jesus said this:

    Mark 10:7-9

    'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,[b] 8and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. 9Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

    This also written in Genesis 2:24. Jesus put great emphasis on the word of God, when tempted by the devil in the wilderness he replied "It is written...". The OT and the NT is all the word of God and both condemn fornication.

  • @SarahSLH

    When reading Deuteronomy I always hope, for the sake of christians (and world safety) that the OT and NT are not one...

    Some people only get married at a courthouse anyway (at least that is possible in Holland, where I live) so does that count as a marriage in front of God?

  • @wildsabes yes he did say this , and the blessed virgin mary at fatima in 1917 said that the majority of people that end up in hell are there because of sexual sins ,

  • @mufc1970ok People end up in hell because they reject the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is forgiveness for all who are genuinely repentant and willing to receive Jesus as their Lord, but most are not considering their eternal destiny but their immediate pleasure.

  • i love ur accent...

  • Hello Youtube,

    Everyone who is reading this comment, please click on my username for my videos I made about the The Truth of the World. I have found out what the truth of life is, the truth of the world, and the truth of God. Please, I really want people to watch and listen what I have to say. No more living in false reality, no more living in illusions, no more thinking there is no way out......its time to lead your life into The Truth of the World!!!!!!!!!

    I love our Lord!!! God bless!!

  • I am getting married in a month and we have already had sex. Am i already sentenced to hell? Or do i still stand a chance?

  • @workinrampage. Are you a Christian? If not, then yes, as it stands you are on the road to hell. If you you are a Christian then say sorry to the Lord and then wait until you are married to have sex again.

  • @SarahSLH I am Christian.

  • @SarahSLH What i don't get with repenting sins is can't you just do something and then say you're sorry anyway? It seems like the Lord has unlimited forgiveness, so why not just do every and anything and say sorry in the middle of your heart attack?

  • @harper16 Repentance is more than just saying sorry, it is initially turning from a life of sin and living in a new way, with Jesus as Lord. When a person is born again they receive a new nature, one that wants to please God. That doesn't mean they will never slip up and sin (we all do) but their life should not be characterised by sin. If they do as you suggested and only pay lip service to repentance then they are not really living for God at all.

  • oh who cares if you love the person

  • @ThatJENNAchick. God does, in His wisdom He created sex for the purpose of two becoming one within the security of the marriage relationship.

  • Mark 8:38, Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

  • LOL... Religion is a joke.

    I Love Christians though they are very entertaining to listen too. Good Laugh...Thnx Sarah :)

  • I say this day Bless to you.. Because that's the righteous way.. Bless

  • Thank you for this video! :) I wish that everyone could see it!

    You'd be amazed how many christians are having sex before marriage; and when you kindly point out that the bible is against fornication and that you must be obedient to God and wait until marriage - they don't believe you or they keep on sinning.

    I used to be lost, but I'm eternally grateful that I am saved now and that I choose to obey God's Word, repent for past fornication and wait until I am married to a christian man.

  • What a nice young lady you are! There is nothing more important than following Jesus and stopping the terrible act of fornication from being committed. And all you young ladies out there still waiting for a husband: Don't relinquish your purity for "pleasure" or "fulfillment" with a man who will probably give you all sorts of diseases because of the sin you commit. Your husband will not appreciate it when he learns you are damaged goods.

  • O ye people! Eat of what is on earth, lawful and good; and do not follow the footsteps of the Satan, for he is to you an avowed enemy.

  • cant i just ask god to forgive me?? i can have have all the sex i want and all i have to do is ask god to forgive me...and everybody in their lifetime have created numerous sins therefor we are all sinners...now does that mean we are all goin to hell?? no we ask for forgiveness and the same goes for fornication, we ask for forgivness and god will forgive you. btw the girls voice in this vid is annoying

  • God forgives all those who genuinely repent, but when someone deliberately sins (and continues to do so) reckoning on being able to repent later, they are taking a huge risk (and treating the price Jesus paid for us very lightly). 1) If they are genuinely born again they should be grieved by sin, not want to indulge in it. 2) If they aren't Christians they are lost anyway and need to repent of their old life and receive Jesus as their Saviour or they will end up in hell.

  • I think you got that part wrong, sure main stream Christianity disdains sex before marriage but mainsteam Christianity also (before Christ), got the message so wrong that Jesus need to come to earth to correct it. Corinthian's 6, talks about sexual immorality, but it doesnt say what sexual immorality is...but it does compare sexual immorality to be sex with a prostitute. It doesnt say anything about sex before marriage being a sin. Now, Im not saying have sex with everybody under the sun.

  • The consistent message throughout the Bible regarding sex is that is intended for marriage.

  • lol?

    its just the name of the vid...

    christians.....

  • well done, it is true

  • I agree SarahSLH,Christian are great,powerful,and we have to talk truth...

  • "what we need is not a return to morality... what we need is to discover it"

    -Ayn Rand

  • u right! ppl who have sex get all types of diseases and stuff! its better to wait and find the right person.....i regret losing my virginity but i am trying to be better

  • christians prevent the world from advancing forword and prevent the world from being a better place

  • The world has 'advanced' to the point where it mocks the guidelines for right living set out by the Creator and does all kinds of evil without a thought for the consequences. Christians hold fast to the word of God because they know it to be the truth.

  • Christians prevent the world from advancing? Uh... that kind of goes against history. Ever since the early A.D.'s the Christian nations have been the most powerful. This nation (U.S.) was founded by Christians fleeing from the persecution of Europe. I can't see how you can say that Christians are preventing the world from advancing. I guess if you mean advancing into an AIDs ridden, crime filled world then I guess you may be right.

  • For God has not put any temptation in your way which you could not deal with. If he dose put tempatoin in your path, he will always provide you with a way out.

  • i'm not against sex outside of marriage, but i think it's very sweet that you've posted something that encourages people to stay true to their feelings and beliefs.

  • Hi hinakuu, thanks for your comments. I do believe that sex outside of marriage is wrong in God's eyes because the Bible says it is. But for those who have already been in sexual relationships/one night stands there is forgiveness and restoration offered in Jesus Christ. God only gives boundaries for our good, He knows better than us what hurts us and what is good for us.

  • As long as humans have existed, we have always had sex outside marriage-all religions, including Christians. Many Christian ministers have been involved in sex scandals, especially those who preach strongly against it. Their inability tae abide by Biblical standards just shows that it is human nature to do that. Many religions accept sex outside marriage as part of human nature, Christians don't accept it but still do it, then feel guilty about it.

  • a good message. "you are worth more than this" it's so sad when you see people giving in to the social expectation to have sex. there are so many ways to say "I love you" without having sex!! people, especially Christians should wisen up to this!!!

  • Get over it, it's sex. Some people take that as the ultimate "I love you".

  • devil238, some people do mistake sex for love, and end up being hurt and used. Sex was only ever intended for the marriage relationship where both partners KNOW they are loved already.

  • these things always go through phases. Before christianity, judasm, islam, polytheism was more popular and the dominant thought on the supernatural. now its monotheism.

    anyway, how do you know gods thoughts?

  • God has made known His thoughts on these things in the Bible. This is talking about marriage.

    Genesis 2:24b

    ..a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

  • do you take the bible literally? And how do you know that is god's will? The bible was written by man, it wasn't faxed down from heaven.

  • 2 Peter 1:20-21

    Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

  • Oh, how CONVENIENT! Now how do you know THAT'S true?

  • Let's make this hard for you shall we? The bible doesn't count as any sort of evidence or reference for it is a book, subjective and qualitative through and through, open to all sorts of fiddles and plays that makes almost any sentence a support for a belief, sturdy only because of years of respect people have been forced to adhere to otherwise you scream "OPPRESSION!".

  • devil238, it is those who reject God's word that are making it hard for themselves. We are a Christian ministry and therefore we do believe the Bible to be God's word. And from that solid foundation comes the material for our videos.

  • STDs will always be a problem until we find a cure. Not even if everyone stopped having sex altogether would STDs not be a problem. Also, most STDs are curable/treatable & you can avoid them w/ condoms. Not everyone can, will, nor wants to get married. I don't plan on getting married & I will not oppresse myself of sex just because of what other ppl think.

  • It is wrong to walk into a shop and unwrap, open and start eating a box of chocolates before you've paid for them. In the same way isn't right to enjoy the privileges of marriage before you have taken that step.

  • Marriage isn't "buying" ppl & ppl are not property! Can't you see how sick your false analogy is? Sex is not a privilage, it is a human right that has relatively nothing to do w/ marriage.

  • I know marriage isn't about buying people (that isn't what I meant), but it is about doing things the right way, that is what I was trying to show. God is the one who created sex and He did create it for marriage. I am not saying it hasn't been misused so much that this sounds foreign, but that was God's intention.

  • Conmunication isn't the problem, its discovering a problem after sex when you nor your partner expects it because you've never had experience & time to know what you sexually want after actually experiencing it. Having a healthy sex life does help adult relationships in reality. Marriage doesn't stop you from divorce, cheating, swinging, polyamory, etc. STDs will be a problem no matter what. Sorry, but this is reality. You cannot expect everyone to be abstinant,stay virgins, not cheat or swing.

  • If a person cannot commit to being faithful then what is the point in being in a relationship, never mind getting married? Sex was created to be a blessing within the framework of marriage, outside of that sex isn't a blessing, it is a sin. God's morals are foreign to many in these days, but His way is still the best and what He is pleased with.

  • Sex isn't "created" w/ a "purpose", its a fuction for reproduction, bonding, & pleasure. Don't make claims that you cannot prove nor apply to non-Christains. A blessing is subjective, you cannot say whats a blessing & whats not. A curse can be a blessing & vise versa. I don't personally see marriage as a blessing for me, I see it more as a construction to keep me as a woman under the thumb of a man that has the risk of skrewing me financially if the marriage doesn't hold. I'm free of marriage.

  • Sex was created for marriage whether the person is a Christian or not, it is just that those who don't know God probably don't care. I agree, the purpose (or function, does it matter which?) of sex is all that you said. We don't live in a perfect world and people do hurt each other, but that is a human failing, it doesn't mean God's way isn't the best. And marriage shouldn't ever be about control but love and mutual respect.

  • Hi SarahSLH,

    What is Marriage? Today, it is no more than a piece of paper claiming you are husband and wife. Marriage is completely meaningless when you think about. If Sex was created FOR Marriage then Marriage should have been about since the creation of the Universe... before humans even existed. That isn't possible. Marriage was pretty much created by people (or person) for some sort of political tactic.

    Sex is sex, and all I care about is finding a girl to love. Marriage is irrelevant.

  • Marriage is much more than a piece of paper, it is a serious commitment. You say you want a girl to love? Well marriage is what people do when they have found that special person to love. Animals are not required to get married!! As a Christian ministry we don't believe in evolution but in creation.

  • Marriage is a serious commitment, but a serious commitment can also be carried out without it.

    Marriage is only considered important because we are conditioned and/or raised to feel it is important. Despite a piece of paper, it is still no different to being married or not. It is all about how it is perceived mentally. Once you pass this, Marriage isn't really required when a couple love each other.

    Bypass this, and it's just a piece of paper, and one very expensive night thats videotaped.

  • Your gods morals are not absolute & we humans are & should be free to have our own morals & do whatever harmless act we want. "The best" is subjective, especially when your god allows slavery & the oppression of women & sexuality which I don't find to be moral. It matters not what your god is pleased w/ to a non-Christain, we shall live our lives how we want. My moral guildlines are to do what you want without harming anyone & my moral values are freedom, equality, sanity, and knowledge.

  • God's morals are absolute, His word is full of instructions on how to live right. He is also merciful and able to catch us when we fall and forgive us, clean us up and heal us of any past traumas etc if we ask Him to. God doesn't oppress women and the slavery issue was just a practice of that day. God just instructed the people to treat their slaves properly. You have freewill to live however you choose, but there are consequences for our actions.

  • I think people need religion because they are afraid. They want to believe we are all part of a masterplan. That god is looking out for us, that we are a special species. Humans invent things like god and write things like the bible to hold on to this hope. They want to pull the covers over their own eyes, so they dont have to see the truth

  • If there were no God wouldn't life be pointless, we would live and then die and for what purpose? However the reality is that if there were no God there would be no us, as He created us and the world in which we live. I would say it is the people who reject God that are pulling the covers over their eyes, because they don't want to give up their sin and live for Jesus instead.Yet to do so is the most fulfilling way to live.

  • This is what im talking about. The human need that is progamed inside of us to make us believe we are special. You have been brainwashed to believe these things. Anyway how can you prove that only one god exists? How do you know that the ancient greeks were wrong? If you accept the possibility of one god, then you can't discount the possibility of multiple ones

  • There are many religions and philosphies but only one Saviour, His name is Jesus Christ. He is the One who came to die for our sins and make a way for us to be reconciled to God. I believe the gospel to be the truth and I have received Jesus as my personal Saviour through responding to it. I can say He exists because I know Him. I have taken Him at His word and it has transformed my life.

  • how do you know? You assume you know but you do not. It is impossible to know for sure. And if he has spoken to i would visit a mental health professional. It seems as if you worship jesus who was a man more than god?

  • Jesus is God. It is possible to be sure of Him. When you repent and accept Him He comes into your life as your Lord and Saviour and puts His Spirit in you as a guarantee of all that is to come.

  • Sex is not immoral, acts of violence and disloyalty are immoral. Sex is sex, it is relatively harmless. Sex amoral, its no more of moral value than eatting, breathing, or sleeping. Its just what humans do according to our nature to survive.

    Abstinence is dumb. Sex & the risks of it are no different inside or outside of marriage. W/o fully knowing your partner, you risk finding out you or your partner is gay, has a creepy fetish, or can't satisfy. These are things to know before marriage.

  • Hi kiwisunshine5233, having sex is not the way to get to know someone. If you and your partner can't be open and honest about things such as homosexual desires, fetishes etc before marriage, then you don't know each other well enough to be getting married at all. Honesty and trust are vital in a healthy relationship and if these are not there, sex won't help. The risks are not the same, STD's wouldn't be a problem if everyone waited until marriage for sex.

  • I never said that, its just that you should know everything about the person before marriage (something that shouldn't be taken lightly) including sex, which in reality is important w/in serious adult relationships. You have to consider things related to sex such as sexual performance, each other's desires & fetishes, your sexual orientation, etc. You can't be sure unless you experience. Ppl can/do discover their homosexuality after having sex, its not about communication thats the problem.

  • People should be able to talk openly BEFORE they get married, even about sex. Marrying and moving in together is an adventure for a couple who will obviously discover new things about each other on the journey. Marriage was created by God and to get the best from it we should do it God's way. If someone has a weakness for homosexuality, they will NOT be oblivious to this, because it starts with a thought, a temptation, not with an act.

  • Now you have to approve responses so ppl won't point out your BS?

  • I have always had the "Approve Comments" function on this video because due to the subject I want to monitor comments. This is just so that nothing obscene (including plugs for other pages) gets posted here.

  • If there is a God. She/he/it would want us to live our lives.

  • If you were to get to know God through receiving Jesus and reading God's word you would know that He has set out guidelines for us and how we should live. He doesn't force us to obey Him, but out of love He does warn us that there are consequences if we reject His word and choose to live lives of sin instead. Doing things God's way just means that you can really enjoy them because His blessing is added.

  • im an american man who has dealt with many pagan women with an appearance of christianity......i.e. shannon wrench.......in a manner of speaking.....when i was single, i would have gouged out my left eye to have such a woman as is speaking here.

  • Hi superkal, thanks for your comments here. I am glad you found the woman you were looking for in the end. May the Lord bless you.

  • Hallelujah!

  • MEN: please have sex before marriage because after you say "I do" rest assured the playground is closed....get it while you can gentlemen.

  • timmythenoose, if a person waits until marriage to have sex then sex is part of that marriage! The passion etc of a new sexual relationship isn't over by the time you say "I do", it is just beginning.

  • I completely agree that man would have less problem by following God's Words. To live holly in God includes no sex outside marriage, no masturbation, no pornography etc. If you are born again, reading bible, continouesly talking to God. You will know what is right what's not. It is not easy at all !! that's why more and more people turns to atheism, so they can enjoy fleshly satisfaction without guilty feeling. But it is going straight to Hell !! Only the pure hearts will stay in Christ.

  • Hi isengdong, thanks for your comments. I think some (not all) people struggle because they are trying to abstain from things their flesh wants to do in their own strength rather than walking in the Spirit. We can't live godly lives in our own strength, we need the Holy Spirit who enables us. I do understand however that born again Christians do have areas in their life where they find it harder to get the victory than others. It is possible though, with God all things are possible.

  • great video. there's a lot of pressure on young people to be interested in sex instead of waiting for marriage. the plain fact is that God can help us remain chaste. i listen to premier christian radio and read the Bible for support.

  • you must be a very narrow minded person. Humans have it in their dna to reproduce, to pass on the seed. Its natural human instinct.

    btw humans invented god, not the other way around

  • Hi kingshahine, the reason I seem narrow minded to you is because this world has drifted so far from God's word that it is foreign to people. It isn't wrong to have sex or reproduce within marriage, sex is a blessing when used in the way the Creator intended. But outside of marriage it is no longer a blessing but a sin.

  • Well said sarah.  Lets live holy lives

  • i think that was really well said. The british accent there was so cute. Its true that many people have found Christ from being hurt from the deception the world has given them concerning sexual freedom. Its really a matter of self respect, and God wants u to be loved with respect, as opposed to being loved with lust. There's no greater respect than a man giving his life for a woman - that's marriage.

  • Very well said philosophy there Vassilio, I agree.

  • Do we do all things that are written in the bible,i mean even to this day,even though a number of the punishments that are in say Leviticus,do you see them punishmints being carried out to day?. Sex before marraige is in gods book and should not take place, so it is right we should follow the command,but it is also written at a time when most kids were married in there mid teens and so promiscurity hadnt got time to develope,i just wonder if it is right to expect 25/30 yr olds to be celebet

  • We are not under Levitical law, sex outside of marriage however is forbidden in the NT also. God hasn't given any exceptions to this, in fact Galatians 5:19 cites fornication as one of the things that will stop a person from entering into the kingdom of God.

  • Yes jesus fullfilled that law,thank you,i cant argue or dispute your words,i was just making a point of how difficult it is if you stay single till your late 20s of 30s,for instance at what age did you get married?. With you in Christ.

  • Ya of course we are not Sarah,thank you,i do agree and i cannot dispute any of your words,what i was pointing out is how difficult it is to stay strong,espec if you are in your mid 20s early 30s,it is easy for others to be wise and strong for instance at what age were you married?

  • I am not married, I am speaking as a single person.

  • Fair enough Mate,god bless and above all be happy..x

  • The fact is, that is not a matter if you have Sex before or after the marriage, for its not the mainproblem here. The mainproblem is, do you understand Love? Do you do sex with Love or its only a desire? Are you justified to do Sex in the Name of Love? If you are you shall do, there is no sin!

  • i believe in god and i believe in jesus but i dont think everything in the bible is exactly true. before i came to this video i read a article on a website talking about sex before marriage and it said sex before marriage is just as bad of a sin as murder. But i do try to fellow gods rules but i just cant agree with sex before marriage

  • Hi CKY4KK. In God's eyes all sin is sin, and it is because of sin that mankind is cut off from God and needs Jesus. Not every sin is the same, some sins have more far reaching effects than others (though sexual sin is mentioned as being serious because a person is sinning against their own body). But when a person is saved, they are agreeing not to live their lives in the same way that they have been but to live God's way instead. It is in the Bible He shows us how to live right in His eyes.

  • Yeah but after premarital sex what do we do???

  • Hi alexXxin777. Do you mean what if you have already had premarital sex so obviously it is too late to abstain? If so, the answer is you can repent and ask God to forgive you and wash every sin away.

  • Great video!

  • What if you've been in a relationship for almost 3 years with someone (and they have ALS) and haven't had sex with them, but now they want to have sex and want you to sacrifice everything to them?

  • Hi jeminirulz99. Are we talking about Christians or non-Christians? Also what is ALS?

  • Christians, and ALS is Lou Gehrig's disease. I don't know if you've heard of it or not but apparently most people that get the disease last for about five years to ten years (after they find out that they have it) and they die.

    Well anyways my question that I asked before is kind of irrelevant now. Me and my bf talked and said we could wait for sex. Now we're getting married next summer because my parents are going to kick me out of the house. lol.

  • I hadn't heard of it no, but why not look to the God who heals?

  • just do watever feels right to u. i'm a christian but wen it feels right well, then its ok

  • Hi fifijojo69, if you are a Christian then why aren't you concerned about sin? God's word doesn't teach that it is ok if it feels right.

  • because the bible is written by man and not God, it was not faxed down from heaven into mans lap, mans hand wrote it. we don't know what Gods word really is. and sin is a creation of man, which churches used to keep their members in line.

  • excellent video !

    Thanks for posting.

  • Hi there, thanks for your comments.

  • thanks for it.i'm against sex before marriage.this means u respect yourself

  • Great video!

  • Sex before marriage is terrible. What does it matter in regard to Christianity? Most are complete fraudulent Christians.

    The West is completely degenerate, indeed this entire world is degenerate. There is no hope within humanity.

  • What's so terrible about it? What's so terrible about having sex with somebody you love without standing before an altar?

    I think there's no hope in Christianity. Why do Christians get divorced more often then atheists?

  • It is sin, that is what is wrong with pre-marital/extra-marital sex. It is a misuse of what God created to be a blessing and it goes against his word. Sex is about the joining of two people, this is not just physical but emotional and spiritual. The Bible says in marriage the two become one flesh.

  • It is not sex before marriage that will send a person to hell but rejecting Jesus, people who don't know Him do live sinful lives, and the Bible says that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

  • God gave us minds to think, even if it means making a desicion as crucial as such. Instead of letting the Bible dictate you how to live YOUR life you're entitled to follow your own judjement. If you're ready both physically and emotionally and take a responsibility for the consequences then it's all fine. There's no age for love and Jesus will respect your choices in life. You think that sex before marrige is going to send you to hell? I highly doubt it. It's not a crime but a symbol of love. <3

  • You are right in that we do have freewill and can make our own choices. However those who know the Lord realise that His word instructs us in right living and how to get the best from life. Just because people say something is ok doesn't mean that God shares their view. There are consequences for pre-marital sex, but one of them is that you are missing out. Sex within a marriage is a great blessing but outside of marriage it is sin, so by doing it you are shortchanging yourself.

  • What are you missing out on ey? ..sex? Marrige or no marrige, love is love. Sex stays sex within or outside of marrige, so what's the trick? So are you saying Jesus is telling you how to live YOUR life? Isn't that just a bit selfish? To be fair, i think your judgement is harsh, very harsh. How do you know what Jesus wants? I think he respects your decisions no matter what, as long as you gave it a long thought. I'm not going to let some book called 'Bible' control my life, absolutely not.

  • Hi yarrky. That isn't true, look at how widespread STD's are and how many abortions are carried out each year. Sex is greatly misused, God gave us instructions for the use of sex for a reason. It was intended to be a blessing, butw hen used wrongly it is sin and people often get hurt.

  • thank u soooo much!! finally someone agrees with me!!

  • i agree with everything u said!! thanks for getting the truth out!! :)

  • i agree with everything u said!! i was just wondering do u have a purity ring??

  • thank u sooooooooo much for this!!! it just makes more sense to wait for ur future spouse!! i was just wondering do u have a PURITY RING??

  • AMEN!!! :D

  • I had sex before marriage. WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?

  • kilodon, He is in the same place He has always been, holding out the offer of forgiveness and eternal life to the lost. God doesn't send legions of angels to stop people from having sex you know, He gave us freewill and therefore we do have the opportunity to disobey Him as well as to love and obey Him.

  • Not everyone follows "god's word", and it doesn't make them immoral.

  • Well, when you're a Christian and in your 40s

  • Well ya don't have to worry about me, I've never had sex, and probably will never have sex.

  • Wait until I'm married? What happens when Christ comes back and I havn't been married? Does that mean I miss out on sex? Matthew 22:30. How do you explain that sketchy verse?

  • Hi JonathanClement140. I would have thought Matthew 22:30 is self-explanatory? If sex means that much to you then why not pray for a marriage partner?

  • And what if Jesus comes back before that happens? Matthew 22:30 is the cruelest, sadest, most depressing verse in the bible. It was driving me crazy!

  • Sex is something designed by our Creator to be enjoyed within marriage, in this world, in our human bodies. When Jesus returns and we have our new resurrection bodies we won't have the same fleshly desires because we won't be limited by these earthly bodies. If you are being driven crazy by a desire for sex then you need to surrender this area of your life to God. Otherwise you will be not be walking in the Spirit but driven by the lust of the flesh. Hand it over to God and know peace.

  • What's the point of these "fleshy" bodies, then? I don't want to lose that aspect of me! I'd rather die! Why create us one way and then change it all? Why have sex in the first place? If it's all going to be destroyed, then why SHOULD I wait until marriage? Aren't my diseases going to be cured? After all, STD's are just a temporary, minor inconvenience, so why not? What all these meaningless laws on sex?

  • Sex and marriage are for this life, God has great things in store for His people in the future. This life is very short compared to eternity and sex isn't the be all and end all. Besides there are other good things in this life, the 'high' of knowing God personally and experiencing life in the Spirit is something that can be enjoyed now.

  • But you still haven't explained why he bothered to create it in the first place! I find it incredibly cruel that he would put all these restrictions on it and then take it away before we can even get to it!

  • Sex was created to be enjoyed within marriage. It is not the reason for our very existence. It is a physical expression of the love between a married couple, the two 'beoming one', as well as being the means of procreation that God has chosen. Sex is just a part of life, you seem to have it on a pedestal as the reason for it? Again though I ask why do you care so much what God thinks about sex when you have proclaimed yourself an agnostic pantheist?

  • "Sex is just a part of life, you seem to have it on a pedestal as the reason for it?"

    Thank the "family values" war scumbags for that. Besides, it's nice and I want somebody to cuddle and have fun with forever. Is that so wrong?

  • And like I said, it's not really the rules I have a problem with, it's the thing itself.

  • Come to think of it, it wasn't just about sex. It was about everything. Going camping, listening to music, watching the sun rise, watching animals with their babies, hanging out with friends... EVERYTHING. Even though this world is imperfect, I still love it. I feel I couldn't be luckier to have been born as a being with the ability to appreciate it all on such a beautiful planet. I wanted to stay the way I was. This whole "Being in God's presence" was too vague to sound the least bit appealing.

  • Have you ever read/listened to the testimony of Ian McCormack? If not I think you should. You will find it online if you do a search.

  • STD's are not the only reason a person should wait until marriage for sex. Aren't your diseases going to be cured? What makes you say that?

  • "Aren't your diseases going to be cured? What makes you say that?"

    In heaven. (Yes, I know you think I'm not going there, but I'm just speaking hypothetically). Aren't STD's just a temporal thing that is meaningless in the grand scheme of things? Also, I don't see the point in waiting until marriage. You can have just as much commitment WITHOUT marriage. I fail to see how standing before an altar performing a ritual helps the relationship in any way...

  • How we live our lives is not a meaningless thing, it matters. STD's are just a symptom of the wrong view of sex that this world has. You don't agree that marriage is important? God says it is, and since He made us it stands to reason that He knows what is best for us.

  • "How we live our lives is not a meaningless thing, it matters."

    How? If romance is going to be done away with, then how can it possibly matter?

    "You don't agree that marriage is important? God says it is, and since He made us it stands to reason that He knows what is best for us."

    Oh, I DO think it's important. But the least he could do is explain things more clearly. All I wanted was a simple Yes or No answer. That might have saved my faith. But my logic is too strong to let me return now.

  • Is romance the only thing you live for then? God has given us His word which explains things and His Spirit if we will repent and receive Him.

  • No, of course it's not the only thing, but it is the main thing. I did try to receive him. I DID want to turn from sin! I tried looking for answers, but the more answers I got, the more confused I got. When I realized the bible was the word of man, I was freed! Freed from my ignorance and prejudice! I encourage you to do the same! It's wonderful when you see the light!

  • Reducing God's word to the position of being the word only of man does not bring freedom but takes away the hope of the gospel. You weren't freed you were deceived. The devil masquerades as an angel of light 2 Cor 11:14, just because you feel good about something at the time doesn't make it a good thing.

  • Besides, I tried asking God to take it away! NOTHING!

  • Jonathan I have just looked at your profile on which you say that you have broken away from Christianity and are now an agnostic pantheist! Why are you complaining that God has supposedly not helped you when you have turned your back on Him? More to the point why do you even care what His word says if you truly don't believe in Him?

  • If a single Christian genuinely wants God's help in coping with this (sexual desires) then they should be willing to co-operate with God in it. That means for example, turning their thoughts immediately to something else, putting sexual desires under the blood of Jesus and then carrying on. He does expect us to make an effort too, but when we do He certainly does help us.

  • Actually, for me, the problem wasn't waiting until marriage. Hell, I could wait for as long as it took if it meant I would get it eventually. You have no IDEA how long I was willing
