    Your experience with abstinence

    Just as a means of procreation, I think.

    Your experience with abstinence

    I've never had a one night stand, period. :no: The reason I think one night stands aren't meaningful is because I see no value in attempting physical intimacy when emotional intimacy, trust, love and respect are not present. And if all those things are present...why is it just a one night stand...

    Your experience with abstinence

    I don't really believe that someone who has premarital sex will go to Hell for it, especially if they later sincerely repent for their mistake and continue to try their best. That's what grace and salvation is all about. And I don't really think people should get married just so it's OK to have...

    Your experience with abstinence

    If you read the Bible and find Paul's letters, you'll see that he took the view that marriage was something you ought to do if you can't hold out not having sex much longer; it's a legalistic ceremony to give those "burning with lust" permission to have sex. His take was that people should...

    Does Premarital Sex Make You Feel Guilty?

    The primary reason why I have chosen to remain abstinent for now is because of my religion. I believe that God wants us to wait to have sex until we enter into a Christian marriage. Those are God's rules, not mine, and even though there are times when I feel tempted and debate about whether I...

    Provocative Questionaire for High School Teens

    I don't think that the 2-3% of the population which is homosexual can expect to foist glbt concerns onto the heterosexual public without a fair share of questions -- and yes, some of those are going to be repetitive and even offensive, because the majority of people have absolutely no...

    Does Premarital Sex Make You Feel Guilty?

    If would if I did it. If I had premarital sex, I would have disappointed my parents. I would have deviated from the standards God set for my life. I would have broken the promises and pledges I made to myself and to others, and betrayed my future spouse before we even met. So, yeah, I would be...

    Which scriptures support the concept of Hell?

    Thank you so much for sharing these! I hadn't realized there were so many references to Hell in the Bible. Yes, sister, you're right, a thread on Heaven would be great. :yes:

    What does humanism mean to you?

    I have always considered humanism to mean that, whether God exists or doesn't (in the opinion of the individual humanist) He is unnecessary. Also, what another poster, Storm, said, that human beings need to figure out right and wrong for themselves (thus implying there is no set standard)...

    Which scriptures support the concept of Hell?

    The "Hell question" is something that has plagued many people that I know, and also is generally recognized as an obstacle for many. What verses, specifically, refer to the existence of Hell? What do we know about it Biblically, and does that contrast with the popular perceptions we have?
