| How many of you lost your virginity before being married? There are very few who have been able to control them selves until marriage. Also christian men who havent been married, do you still have you virgintiy? |
This might prove difficult... |
Hey, I didn't say it was right, but then as now I didn't believe the bible was 100% correct in every word. Don't get mad at me for my beliefs, all of ours differ. |
Should I start my list off with a Michelle?
yeah exactly, over half of marriages fall apart then the people just get married again, is that ok? I have known friends from my church who have gotten married at 18 for the primary reason of being able to screw, so they are young dumb and poor and they are already married, great now what? a sins a sin, so if I wack off thats just as bad as banging a girl, i might as well have sex with the girl that means alot more than just looking at a penthouse |
By that definition, all vaginally delivered boys are not virgins.  Yes, I am a Christian, and yes, I had sex before taking the old ball and chain. Would do it again. |
Usually it is customerary to answer such personnal questions yourself before asking of others. Sgatr15 |
I do consider myself a christian. And there lies my debate. I dont quite know what to do, I have had guys tell my they wish they hadnt done it and waited until marrige. And alot of guys dont give a damn. Its hard, being a christian I know I am not susposed to have sex ouside of marriage, but its so damn hard to resist. |
I'll tell you why I wished I hadn't done it: So I could have the pleasure of telling others that men are not sex crazed maniacs with no self control. I wanted to use myself as an example to combat those liberal elitists that have such a disdain for teaching abstinence. Needless to say, doing so would bring a "hypocrite" charge upon myself in a hurry. I'm REALLY upset that I didn't wait, and the fact that it was a sin is but a small part of it. |

Heck, masturbation inside of marriage is a sin. If the act is committed in the heart and mind, its the same in His eyes. I was raised as a Christian, but strayed during high school and during military service. I didn't wait. I'm currently in a relationship with a Christian woman. We occasionally "slip". We're not sinners because we sin. We sin because we're sinners. Man is not perfect. If you are continuosly committing the act, then asking for forgiveness, you are not truly repenting. I, myself, have not reached the point of true repentance and it is weakness in my personality. I can only hope that events in the near future work out for us and we can make it right in the Lord's eyes. And, on the "pre-marital sex" topic, do you want your honeymoon to be "business as usual"? God intended sex to be a beautiful event for married couples. Many scriptures clearly state that God abhors fornication, I'm not posting to judge or condemn you, brother. For being a hypocrite would be an even bigger sin. |
This is the kind of thing that holds me back. And, I think there is a problem with stating to be christian while intentionly commiting those acts. |

someone called for scripture Paul says in 1Cor 6:18 "Flee from sexual immorality." Then in 7:8-9" Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion." (NIV) I'm only quoting scripture here, addressing the issue of sex before marriage. In that frame of refference, I think Paul is saying one can dedicate more time to serving the Lord without the distractions of family responsibility. If one is able to control one's sexual impulses, stay single and devote time to the Lord. If not, it's better to marry and be moral than stay single and have sex. It will make a Christian's conscience such that they can't serve properly. Personally, I felt I was too young/irresponsible/financially insecure to marry, but couldn't control my impulses. The moral dilemma finally lead me to become more responsible and financially secure and get married. I still think God knows what he's talking about, though. |
I admire your strength (or lack there of perhaps) but damn bud. Once you get some your going to be kicking yourself in the ass for the last 29 years.... |
I am not that great on the computer sometimes sarge, I was not slamming or even responding to your post. I meant to respond to the post you were responding to. I was just using your waving smily face to tell the troll "Goodbye" |
don't take this the wrong way, but...... well, you get the idea. |
Not really...  What I will say is that I am a victim of Ladder Theory. I don't know how to make it work for me. |
