I agree with jordan about one thing.
Having sex before you're married is no
worse than lying or speeding. The .Bible
says that no sin is greater than any other
sin. It says that the only unforgivable
sin is rejection of .Jesus. But I don't
think you should live like no tomorrow!!
There is a tomorrow, as many of us know
all too well, and we have to live with the
consequences of our actions. Sometimes
there are none. Sometimes they are huge.
I guess its a risk each person has to
decide for themselves. As for me,
anything the .Bible says is a sin, i'm
going to try my hardest to avoid.

I am not christian or reglous(sp?) at all
so I say if your ready to have sex than
have it and if u wanna wait than
wait...Personally I could not stop having
sex till I was married like once u done it
u dont wanna go without it.. And I dont
really wanna get married so if I waited
till marriage that would be along time!!

Like the other girls said, no one sin is
any greater then any other sin. Jesus
walked with the prostitutes. You arent
going to go to hell because your having
sex. The bible says that all have sinned
and fallen short of the glory of god.
Everyone sins, no matter what. Although,
plain and simple, you will go to hell if
you dont except jesus as your personal
saviour. (i do realize that this is a
christian's point of view and that some of
you may disagree)
i know i'm not one to talk or preach
because i'm guilty of the same thing.
But the fact that you know its a sin and
you do it anyway is well, lets put it this
way. You know that your boyfriend hates
it that you go out with other guys, but
you deliberately do it anyway and always
expect him to forgive you for it. Its
the same way with .God. Although he will
forgive you everytime it hurts him that
you do it anyway even though you know its
wrong.
(again, I realize this is a christians
perspective and some of you may disagree)

Well, I believe that god loves us no
matter what we do, but like michelle said
it hurts him just like it would hurt our
parents when we sin. However, we are
human and every human sins. I waited
till marriage, but I know that's hard to
find these days. The man I married
didn't wait and although nobody ever
thinks of this it did at times affect our
relationship. It doesn't now because we
both moved on, but it did at one point.
I think if you are going to have
premarital sex that you should atleast do
it for the right reasons. Not because
you just want some, but because you love
this person and they love you. I think
god loves you no matter what and he wants
the best for you. We are his children
and we are learning just like he did when
he was alive. Try to focus on the
goodness in yourself and even though you
may sin, you in your heart know that you
are god's child. That's what's
important! God won't judge you like we
judge each other.

Exactly. No sin is better or worse than
the other. There is no such thing as a
"level of sinning". A sin, is a sin, is a
sin. So...Sex before marriage is a
sin.... So is lying. Ask for
forgiveness. Do like I do "god, i'm sorry
I sinned, but chancesa re i'll do it
again. I'm sorry". Maybe it won't get me
into heaven but I try.

Some people take the bible a little too
seriously but not in depth. Im sure alot
of you know that if you eat shrimp u are
sinner. I guess red lobster is going
down.
Although I am not christian or catholic, I
respect everyone's religion and beliefs.
I just don't tolerate when they push it in
ur face and class what ur doing as wrong
"according to their bible and their
beliefs".

Well I guess its a question of priority.
God should be #1, if you are a christian.

Hi idababy... I dont want to get into an
argument or anything 
however, if you have concerns, u are doing
the right thing by discussing them
seriously with your bf. Plus, if you are
feeling convicted by an issue then act
upon it .. Follow your conscience and
your head. If u feel what u are doing is
wrong, then take steps to alter the
behaviour... And talk to someone u trust
about it, they can help u out. A pastor
or christian friend maybe? There is no
shame in abstainance, girl

I completely agree with everything
michelle said! So many times people (even
christians) get into this mindset that "it
doesnt matter if I sin....God will forgive
me, so i'll just do whatever I want".
That is the completely wrong thing to take
from the bible! But...Just to add to a
few things she said...As a christian not
only are you supposed to ask for
forgiveness, you are supposed to turn from
your sins (meaning dont do it anymore)!
Although none of us will ever be
perfect...You should always be in pursuit
of perfection!
The "world" tells us that its stupid,
wierd, strange not to have sex! For me,
i'm not having sex until i'm married and
i'm not ashamed of that...I dont think its
anything to be ashamed of! But...I may
not agree with the choices some people
make in life, but I will never judge
someone for those choices!

Ok...I'll do my best to explain this
"eating certain foods" is a sin thing!
Someone may need to help! This may not
make sense to some people if you arent
familiar with the bible! Ok there is the
"old law" and the "new law"...Before jesus
suffered the cross for the sin of mankind,
the "old law" was how people got to
heaven. The old law consist of all those
things about eatin certian foods on
certain days and the clean/unclean stuff
(i can find references in the bible if I
need to!), but since jesus came and died
on the cross for us, he freed us from the
"law". And now, the only way to heaven is
accepting him and asking for forgiveness!
So that means...Doing "stuff" doesnt get
you into heaven...Only a personal
relationship with him does!
Does that make any sense?

It makes sense, but I thought that in
particular pertained to pork. Correct me
if i'm wrong, but don't jewish people
believe in the old testament, and
christians believe the new? Catholicsm
is a form of christianity right? And
isn't it catholics (and maybe other
religions) that can't eat meat on friday?
I know jewish people don't eat pork, but
christians can, but that's because jewish
people believe pork is unclean. I don't
believe in organized religion, but i'm
just curious.

Don't jump on my back because this is just
a question.
How can christians, protestants,
catholics, jewish, jehovah's witnesses,
sikhs, islams, muslims and a whole host of
others .A.L.L be right?
I have had sex before marriage, I guess in
part because I will not be getting
married. We both do not believe in or
agree with the concept and our promise is
to each other not to someone else.
Idababy the only answer for you is to look
to yourself and do what is right at this
very time in your life. If your religion
is a number one priority then there is
your answer.
However, if your religion is actually more
of a faith you have than a religion you
follow, then you take the parts with which
you agree and discard those that you
don't.
The bahai faith came about because "mona"
took her own take on what was right is her
faith.
Again the only answer is to look inside
yourself and see what is right for you.
Which choice will give you more heartache.
What is the depth of your belief?
