sex is refreshes the brain

there seems to be alot of saying the bible does not use the term fornication or it was made up from original text...if one studies the Bible as God's word, and chooses to follow the instructions, laws, and tenets of the Bible, they would see sex outside of marriage is a sin. it is not mentioned once but many times in the Bible. there are many activities done by people in the Bible that are sinful. concubines, prostitutes, affairs, murder and such. just because people do them does not make it right in God's instruction ( i put murder in there so people don't get too hung up on sex alone)
the questions that needs to be answered is do you believe and desire a relationship with God? are you flowing Jesus as your savior? if you see God's instruction as sex outside of marriage as sinful and not appropriate for what He has planned for you, are you willing to set god first and follow that instruction? are instead will you put man's thoughts and desires before God's?
interesting to note the rise and the fall of the roman empire had major lynchpins associated with Romes demise. one major one was the preoccupation with sex and decline of sexual morality, excatly what was witnessed in today's world.
i don't give my opinion on this as sin is not associated with me but with God. and as Paul states in the Bible we have Grace... but should we continue in sin so that grace can abound? the answer is no.
grace is for our failure to live unto God's standards. not as a license to frivolously sin
God's standard--- the Bible
Man's standard---- opinion as shifting and variant as the tide and the wind and varied from person to person
one is consistent one is not

yes

The bible is interpreted by all the different religions in diferent ways. If that were not true there would only be one Christian religion and no Catholics, Methodists or any of the other Christian denominations. Muslims refer to god as allah so there is another variation. No consistencey at all. That's probably because there is in fact no such thing as god. If there was it would be much easier to define what god is and is not. I certainly don't waste my life trying to live up to some standard in the name of a mythical being. Which standard should I adopt? Catholic? I don't think so! Hindu? Likewise. It's all man made nonsense and intelligent people don't fall for it.

Some religions accept gay priests and some condemn homosexuality. Which one would go go for? And what is wrong with the other one? Why is it wrong when their religion says it's right? Inconsistency again!



Man's standard is indeed shifting and variant as the tide and wine, just as you say. Exactly the same as for religion, further evidence, if it were needed, that religion is in fact nothing more than an invention of man to control people. That's why there are so many different religions, each with its own set of rules and each condemn all the other religions as 'wrong'. Intelligent people can see through all that childish stuff.

That's why many people here have said that the word 'sin' applies only to those who follow a belief that says some things are sins. If you think it is all meaningless then the concept of sin is also meaningless.

Don't confuse 'sin' with right and wrong. It's right to be kind to people and treat them as you would like them to treat you. It's wrong to murder, steal or other such things. You need common sense, not a religion, to understand that.

Dear samatvam, I believe that intercourse outside of marriage is wrong. I am 18 years old, yet I already know what I want in a spouse. I believe marriage is a special bond between a man and a woman. In a world where everyone shares everything with everyone everywhere online, I have chosen to keep the law of chastity as a way to save the most special part of me for my future husband. If I were to give away that part of me as well, what would I have left to give to the man I love? and how would I know that he truly loves me if he gives himself away?

not only is there the concern of a healthy relationship, but also the health of your physical wellbeing. why risk an std just to say you did the dirty? like, why? I want to enjoy life for what it has to offer me, not be concerned about whether the first/next time is the last time.

I hope this makes sense. let me know if you have any further questions.

Everyone should follow their beliefs and not do the 'wrong' thing - as defined by those beliefs.

But everyone should also be open to listening to other people and sometimes change their minds and behave differently thereafter. Changing your mind as your circumstances change is a healthy activity. Having a closed mind that will not consider the opinions of others is unhealthy.

The Canon is actually a pretty easy to read manuscript. The Do's and Don't are very specific. If 2 people reading from the same manuscript do not conclude the same result, that is due to several factors. None of which come from the reading material. It comes down to how one chooses to view it. How someone's beliefs coincide to what they are reading.

Doctrines are not based upon fact, they are based upon personal choice. If someone claims they follow God, but they do not follow what they read from the Word of God, they are not really of God. They are of themselves.

In my opinion, the Bible is like reading, "the wind caused the balloon to float away." If I interpret that to mean, the balloon floated away due to a jet stream, I am actually saying what the Bible claims. But if I interpreted that to mean, the balloon flew away by choice, then I am falsely misinterpreting what the Bible claims for my personal view and opinion.

Premarital Sex is a no brainer in terms of how God views it. When you choose to believe and follow God, God expects you to keep a "Standard" that solidifies this relationship. It's the same with how God views marriage. Premarital Sex is like going shopping for tennis shoes. You are trying on a couple pairs of shoes before buying the one that you believe fits you the best. The difference in terms of relationship before marriage, is the trying on of shoes is getting to know one another on a level without being physically intimate. It's about connecting mentally. And if we do not connect on a mental wavelength, it won't matter if it's the best sex you believe you ever had.

With the rampage of Psychological Disorders (1 in every 3 people suffer from one form or another), if you do not connect first mentally with someone "SANE," life is going to be a literal hell and you will end up divorced or in some office telling a stranger your problems.

But if you do find that person you connect on a wavelength that strengthens your bond, then sex at marriage and during marriage will be the greatest experience you could ever imagine!!

yes

I was married for 54 years and never cheated on my husband and I have not had sex in 23 years. I'm a widow and now probably a virgin wishing I could have sex right this moment.

NO it's not!

no, i need too....same here

Premarital sex is certainly disapproved of by the 'god' that some people believe in. But of course they don't KNOW for a FACT that she disapproves. They only have much translated documents, all written a long time ago. We live in a different society today and because this mythical creature chooses not to give us her current opinion, all we can do is assume that the original opinions still hold true. If there really was such a being, believers would want to know what she thinks today. It is naive to assume that because we can't ask her directly, she must hold the same opinions as those that were written about a couple of thousand years ago.

It's amusing that the different brands of religion, and even the different denominations within the Christian faith, all have different opinions. Some say you can't use modern technology, but they don't insist you use what was around two thousand years ago! They all make up the rules as they go along and then try to scare their members into following those rules.

In some countries (including here in the UK) there are people who set up churches with names like the 'Redeemed Miracle Tabernacle Testament of God Church' or something like that. None of them are connected with mainstream Chtistianity but all of them are run by a very rich man who drives around in a big fancy car which no doubt has a poor fuel consumption. Strange that, when we are commanded in the Bible to be 'stewards of the earth'. These days, climate change is a big issue, but it doesn't stop those big cars!



Here in the UK we have an organisation called 'Relate' (the Marriage Guidance Council). Having been involved with them I can assure everyone that they are a fantastic organisation and ending up 'in some office telling a stranger your problems' is in fact the best thing to do if you have sort of relationship problem. They cover parent/children problems as well as couple problems. For a time I was one of their chaperones and took part in a counselling course. They are highly recommended for anyone with relationship problems. Of course I can't speak for other countries but have no reason to assume that other countries don't have equivalent organisations that are just as effective.
