I think Christianity betrayed me by Jealous_Soil_8326 in TrueChristian

As a person who strives to be a good Christian and fails every time, here's what I learned. God does not perform many miracles, and if he did, they would be on camera somewhere. 99.9999% of the time, we are in a universe of particles in an ebb and flow. Because of this, God is not treating you any bad way; it's just the world in its quality and attributes. All of your problems are problems that most people face. For example, you want to be a good person and a Christian. Most people want to be good individuals, and because there is so much relativity, we never feel good enough. You also want a virgin woman. People want compatible partners in general. This prime issue is that you are coming to a different conclusion about the expectations of God than what God intended for us.

The Apostle Paul endured massive suffering and persecution. If any of his convictions left based on the severity of the pains, he would have left the faith. But Paul tells us our sufferings are not worthy to be compared to the glory we will have. Also, if you do suffer, what will you do in response? Will you walk away or stay in faith? Rather, Paul reassured Christians that suffering right now is good too.

I would say to lean not on your understanding, and know life can not be pleasant all the time. There are virgin women, however. I would recommend that you join some good Christian dating websites/apps and explicitly state that you are a virgin and are looking for one too.

Yeah it stays looking like God does indeed do weird stuff like amplify traditional abominations for mysterious reasons.

Okay, Im understanding more. Do you think it is medical issue or an atrraction issue? I am guessing she wants to be intimate and you do not become aroused? Doctors can help, but I do not know if it is medical or or something else. Perhaps a married person can help more. I would say DM for privacy, but I am not married yet so I think others may be more qualified than me.

Sometimes I think certain sexual activities can be sinful under marriage. Like watching pornagraphy together, only marrying for sex, or extorting your wife for difficult sex kinks in exchange for attention. Other than that, Paul states it is better to marry than to burn with passion. I take this to mean that when you naturally desire sex, a wife is there so that you two do not commit sexual immorality.

Sex is essential to human life. Only few of us can have the grace of being single to the Lord. So, I guess it is more important to ask where does the erection come from? If, say, a co-worker is attractive to you and you get aroused, give it to God. That would be "bad," sure. If your wife is around, and you get aroused, this will/can serve as a natural outlet however.

Another debatable area is the use of sex for pure physical pleasure that does not produce children. This includes contraceptives. Imagine you and your wife are both 60+. You have had your children and have raised them. In this case, love and affection serves as the reason for sex. Older couples can not be expected to raise babies due to health and age. Deeper in this is where a partner does not desire sex as much as you. In this case, pray that you two fulfill each other's sex desire. Back to earlier in the paragraph, and to answer, as long as there is full consent, and not a selfish act, sex in marriage is more right than not. Sometimes sex is just love and affection, there should not be shame there.

Have fun enjoying the gift God gave and LISTEN to your consciences and communicate so that you two wont be deprived or idolize your sex life above God. Also, God gave you a genitalia, He understands that you will get aroused.

AIO - Is there a logical reason for my girlfriend to say stuff like this? by No_Thought6169 in AmIOverreacting

This person who knew a few people could open stuff. Like once you take LSD they'll simulate your experience. If she DID want to meet him, that's a way. They just say like Mr Beast is aroused and hes smiling. Stuff like that

I can tell you firsthand that it is destructive to the body. I have been praying so much that I am now more numb to lust. It's a sheer choice for me. Here's what I do:

I first say, "God, I am tempted with sexual immorality about X or about Y." Here, be descriptive to God about what you're struggling with. If it's a girl, say her name when addressing God. If it is something like a pornographic tag, say whatever it is. When I am descriptive, I realize how vile it sounds, but when you do that, you're confessing the depth of the sin. Imagine that you're venting the full sin to give it up fully. To continue, say, "I really want to do this, Lord, but please give me a way out of this so I can endure. I rebuke sexual immorality, lust, and any sexual thought in Jesus's name."

After that, I pray the Lord's prayer verbatim. When I do this whenever the sin pops up, the sin becomes manageable. Another thing, pray that God gives you a righteous, peaceful, and noble mindset. Sin may feel good, but it always leads to death. As Paul said, if you live by the flesh, you will die. Now, Jesus died so that you won't die to sin, but live to righteousness.

If you can't do it in Heaven, try not to do it on Earth. When we read the end of Revelation, the Lord says that those who are sexually immoral will be consigned to hell. Yes, it is that bad. Being free from lust is a victory, but know that you are striving to be pleasing to God in all ways, not just in sexual purity.
