>>��>>��The Lord never changes! He is steadfast and unmovable! Just because society changes does not mean that we as Christians can change what the Bible says. There are several gray areas in the Bible, but sex outside of marriage is not one of them. It is clearly stated in the old and new testamnet that sex outside of marriage is a sin. It helps me to think as if The Lord is standing right next to me with whatever I do. (to which he is) Would you do something with Him standing next to you, if He told you not to? Is having sex with a man that is not your husband uplifting to God's will, honor and holiness? Marriage and family is a picture for us of what our relationship should be like with the Lord. Does the Lord have an intimate walk with the unsaved? NO!! But he does have an intimate walk with His children (saved). This is the same light on us. The husband is portraying the Lord and the wife is portraying the church.
>>��>>��A wise man once told me that if you have a belief, you need to back it up with two scripture references. Like, if you are thinking it is ok to have sex with your boyfriend, you need to find where that is stated two times in the Bible that it is OK.

>>��I'm a Christian, but that statement is pretty lame. Does it ever say in the Bible that it is okay for me to keep breathing? No, it never once says that in so many words, let alone twice. Does that mean I should hold my breath until I become hypoxic?

I just wanted to write everyone and tell you how I feel. I am sorry to share my personal life, but I learned from my mistakes. I am a christian. I led a life of living for God and praising him. One day I met someone and fell very deeply in love with him. I was very young only 16. I always had such strong erges to have sex with him. But I told myself NO, I wanted to wait till marraige. After going with him for a year and a half I decided I would have sex. But only once and never do it again till we were married. Well, the truth is..You should Never give in to lust, even if you are in love. I was so young..and we ended up doing it one more time..and while I was..I thought to myself...HOW WRONG it was!! I just ignored those thoughts. What a huge mistake. I ended up being pregnant at the age of 17! And for only doing it twice. Everyone looked at me like I was SOOOO BAD! When I had lived a whole life of living for God!!! I sinned..I gave in twice..and I ignored my feelings that were telling me it was wrong. I'm not trying to say God will do this, if you have sex before marraige. I just learned the hard way, giving into sin and tear your life completly in pieces. Things turned out fine in the long run, but my life is completely different from how it would have been if I would have listened to what my own heart was telling me.
