I "cannot choose" whatever I need, of course. I am merely stating that no mortal is perfect, and that's just the way it is. Anyway, too many people overestimate the importance of sex. It is much more important to refrain from murder, violence, theft, ... than from premarital sex. But of course, there are always some horny young fellas that will say "I am horny, so I won't believe in God, because He forbids premarital sex" ;P I vote pro drink :beer:

I can quote you in the bible where it is against celibacy Starting in Genesis 2:18 and through, Marriage is considered honourable in many places as well. And the use of the verb "to fornicate" has several different translations. But I do not believe anywhere in all the Canons including the Ethiopian ones is it said "that a young hetrosexual couple" must remain chaste and pure. I seriously wonder about "churches" that preach stuff that can not be found clearly in the bible. Regardz Colin J Davies

IIRC someone said that it was because sex should only take place between husband and wife to procreate (sp?). James "Java is free - and worth every penny." - Christian Graus

Yes, I guess that is what you have been told. :-) But I'd say even 2000 years ago shotgun weddings were the norm, possibly they used a slingshot and clubs then. Regardz Colin J Davies

I'm the exact same way whether it be exercise, education, or whatever it is I want in my life. Even when I was getting fat; I got really fat! The thing is I just got a new body, so I'm not tired of "meaningless" sex yet. But, I am working on it. :) As far as my example of doing this to the extreme, my plan is to lay 100 women over the next couple of years before I start thinking of settling down.

Just for the fun of it, I resolved to buy a drink for one hundred women to see how they'd respond. Over the course of a year I made a habit of buying a drink for the first attractive, single woman I saw in the lounges of whatever hotels I visited. Wanna guess how many of them had the courtesy to say "Thanks?" Exactly 2. None of the rest ever acknowledged it at all. Whatever approach you take on your mission, don't waste your time and money buying them drinks! :laugh: I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!

We need a Christian forum on CP at this rate.... How did you become a Christian ? Did you recieve the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues, or did you 'give your heart to Jesus' ( a process not found in the Bible ) ? I did the latter several times and found I struggled with alcohol and pr0n. When I did the former, which is what the Bible says, I lost the desire for both in an instant. When I was courting, I certainly sexually desired my future wife, and her me, but it was still not a struggle because we both knew what was right. We were both happy to build our relationship based on getting to know each other, and then bang on our wedding night. It was worth the wait. But my principle point is that if you're not *actually* a Christian, then all you've got is your mind battling against your natural senses. If you are a Christian, then you have God inside you internally motivating you to do good, and the problem ceases to exist. That is the point of the New Testament, instead of an external Law, the Law is written on our hearts. Christian I am completely intolerant of stupidity. Stupidity is, of course, anything that doesn't conform to my way of thinking. - Jamie Hale - 29/05/2002 Half the reason people switch away from VB is to find out what actually goes on.. and then like me they find out that they weren't quite as good as they thought - they've been nannied. - Alex, 13 June 2002

Do you really want a list ? Start with 'marriage is honourable and the bed undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers, God will judge'. Christian I am completely intolerant of stupidity.

Between husband and wife, yes. To procreate, no. The Bible actually says a husband and wife must not deny each other sex, except by consent. It talks in terms of not ripping one another off.
