So far it has been tough.

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've been a Christian for about a month now and I must say it is tough. The worst thing is combating biology, and I must say I understand why most Christians get married fairly young. I do like my nightly Bible study, and I am trying to learn as much as possible. Hopefully this will give me the strength to avoid temptation and sin.
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

Where exactly in the Bible are you getting the notion that you can not have premarital sex with a female ? 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
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.

I've been a Christian for all my life and got married at 29. The problem with your approach is that you associate "sin" with sex before marriage. But, AFAIK, this is not such a "terrible sin" - if you want to be a good Christian, just be good and kind to other people, don't lie and be patient with your enemies. If you bang some chick down the road - well you don't want to be a saint, do you? I vote pro drink :beer:

I spent a lot of my younger years as a musician doing the sex, drugs and rock & roll thing. Needless to say, I woke up with a lot of women whose names I couldn't even remember. Somewhere down the line, as I got older and my values changed, I reached a point where sex without an emotional connection was an empty experience for me. Now don't get me wrong, I still love sex with beautiful women, but these days if it's not someone I want to wake up and hug the next morning, I'd truly just rather sleep alone. So, the biological urges are definately still there, but because of what I believe in and am holding out for (i.e., good old fashioned, idealistic, romantic love), it's not a hardship. I'm sure you that you will draw similar strength from the power of your own beliefs. Discipline is just a habit. Once established, it's easily maintianed.

Or if you look in Mathew where the word fornication is used it was translated from the Greek "porneia" which has a wide variety of different meanings. I'm certain if either God or Jesus had wanted to make such an issue out of it they would have stated it clearly in the Bible, Instead of allowing various interpretations. Regardz Colin J Davies

I've answered elsewhere, but the short answer is that as well as accepting Jesus, we need to do what He said. It seems you're pretty serious about it, to be doing a Bible study every night, but the Bible says in order to understand it you need the Holy Spirit. Luke 11 records Jesus saying that we need to keep asking until we have the Holy Spirit, and various parts of the Bible tell us how we know when we do - we speak in tongues. The Bible says this prayer language is necessary, and particularly useful when you feel you need to 'build yourself in the faith', as it says in Jude 20-21. There is a whole lot more scripture I could throw at you here, but the most pertinent thing is Acts 10 - a record of someone doing their best to follow God, but not filled with the Holy Spirit -> not a Christian. God responded by sending someone to tell Cornelius and household the full Gospel, so that they could respond to it and be saved. Christian I am completely intolerant of stupidity.

Christian what is sexual immorality, Holding hands ? Kissing on the face ? Kissing on the lips ? Massaging ? Fodiling ? ..... ? Fornication has many different interpretations, Remember Clinton I did not have sex with Ms Lewinski The OT was far more explicit in what it said and condemmed. Also being expelled from a church is not revocation of rights have your sins forgiven or to enter Heaven. BTW:: I'm not a big fan of Paul, Much prefer Peter and James. Regardz Colin J Davies
