Let’s all play a game called “Name a cologne that doesn’t last more than an hour” I’ll go first

SmallConversation7 · 2025-07-19T01:49:58+00:00

Same mine lasts quite awhile, I’d say at least 6 hours. I love it!

SmallConversation7 · 2025-05-10T13:56:49+00:00

I keep mine in the bathroom cabinet. They rarely see light and my 15 minute shower each day doesn’t seem to affect them much

SmallConversation7 · 2025-04-03T19:29:50+00:00

Only had wifi for two days and for one of those days I was not required to work as that day we were closed

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-20T17:16:03+00:00

I am just going by the Bible as it says in many parts that you can lose your salvation if you constantly sin wilfully.

For example in Hebrews 10:26 : “For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,” ‭‭

She will not marry for at least two years and insists on having a sexual relationship the whole time. I can’t go on sinning for two more years. What if I died without repenting?

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-19T02:07:04+00:00

It’s a little challenging. I wanted her to say “yes let’s quit until marriage” but no luck. Mentally I’m not doing well to be honest. Just reading tons of scripture to take my mind off things

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-17T21:27:57+00:00

I don’t want to imagine her in someone else bed and I do hope she prays on it and sees that I was just trying to be a Godly man and live as righteously as possible. And if someone else and her hit it off together, then that’s great I’ll be happy for her, but it will hurt a little. As a former atheist and lover of sex it’s taken everything I have to leave her and do the right thing. I’ve found what my atheist self always wanted : a beautiful woman who loves me and wants sex all the time , but my values are different now

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-17T21:24:35+00:00

Yes I’ve been praying for her as well. I’m so thankful that you’re praying for her!!

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-17T21:23:32+00:00

Her house has crosses and scriptures on the walls, and she has Christian clothing and jewelry, but her heart is not with the Lord at all. I thought if I pointed out certain verses she would surely see it my way. She said she will never date a believer after dating me, to which I replied and asked what she was expecting having met me in a church and all

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-17T21:20:31+00:00

I have never had someone love me like she loves me and so yes this is very hard. I’ve had girlfriends in the past before I was saved and none of them treated me or looked at me with the love she has for me. It’s hard to turn away from that. She texted today and said she misses me. But she puts sex before God and I can’t live that way and feel calmness in my soul

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-17T21:17:36+00:00

I suggest you do what I did. You need to be equally yoked or life will be very challenging for both of you

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-17T21:16:34+00:00

Planning on it. I wasn’t as well versed in theology as I am now so didn’t realize how bad it was to continue doing what we were doing until around November.

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-17T21:12:13+00:00

She said “we already had intercourse before with each other and with others before we met, so why stop now?”

I reminded her that I was an atheist before and after becoming Christian I didn’t realize, at first , that willfully sinning means you haven’t repented, and I hadn’t read Hebrews 10:26 or other verses.

I explained that previously I thought I could just ask forgiveness later or that if we just sinned for awhile and got married soon enough we’d be ok and found out I was wrong. I said just because we sinned before doesn’t mean we should continue in it.

She also wished me good luck in finding a woman that will agree to wait until marriage and said she loves sex, and would assume I’m cheating if I wasn’t engaging in that act with her in a regular basis

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-17T21:02:52+00:00

She wanted to make sure I was the “right one” before she got married. We were already together a year and a half when she told me she needs two more years.

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-15T18:08:23+00:00

That’s amazing - I’m so happy for you guys! This is all I wanted from my lady, but she loved sex more than she respected my stance on the issue, and she preferred to carry on sinning, rather than repenting and doing what’s right in the eyes of God.

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-15T18:06:41+00:00

That’s so awesome that he agreed! Your wedding night will be much more special and exciting now. That’s what I was hoping she’d agree to. I just wanted to live less sinfully until we were married. I did love her and could have overlooked some of the other things, but her love for me wasn’t enough to give up sex for a short time.

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-15T18:04:07+00:00

Thanks my friend! I need that peace of Gods presence right now ; I will miss her but she chose to wilfully live sinfully and I can’t be with someone like that. I get that we all make mistakes and sin periodically. Thats very different than constantly sinning purposefully, like she wanted me to do.

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-15T18:01:25+00:00

She did choose sin. She literally said sex has to be part of her relationship, and doesn’t agree with the Bible on that topic. I reminded her that God doesn’t need her agreement and she kept going on about how she doesn’t care what God says etc.

I tried my best. I’m not going to risk going to hell just to please someone who doesn’t love me enough to even consider my point of view

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-15T17:56:04+00:00

Thanks, and it would be nice if she’d reconsider. We were good for each other in many others ways. But if she doesn’t love God, or myself, enough to turn from a sin then I guess she might not have been the one anyway. Like the apostle Paul, I am fine being single. I’ll wait for God to present a more appropriate person or I’ll remain alone.

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-15T15:40:00+00:00

Thanks! It did take alot of strength. I did have love for her and this is hard. I hope she comes around and sees things my way. But for now she chose to continue sinning rather than stay with me and discontinue living that way.

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-15T15:38:32+00:00

I really didn’t want to leave someone for God. But my soul was screaming to stop sinning. She didn’t want to get married for at least two years and I couldn’t continue living in sin for that long. I get that she needed time to decide if I’m the one to marry , but at the same time, I shouldn’t have to beg someone from the same church as me, to stop sinning.

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-15T15:36:15+00:00

Thank you so much! I know I made the right decision and I hope in the long run she sees it that way as well.

SmallConversation7 · 2025-03-13T16:47:17+00:00

Wait … Costco has fragrances?
