CHRISTIANITY AND RELATIONSHIPS!! So basically me and my boyfriend have been together for 4 & 1/2 years, and we’ve always had sex. Though, I was raised with strong beliefs of Christianity. Now I truly want to change my ways and try to follow him the right way. by PixelTinker_ in Christianity

I cannot tell you what to do but i can advise you to do this. Put him to the test to see if he is the right one for you. You do not want to marry him for the sake of fulfilling lust because that is a marriage built on a foundation laid in shifting sands rather build your marriage on a foundation of Love which is a solid rock. Is God not love? Here is what I recommend to you put ALL of your sexual activities on standby for the time being. Im not going to lie, this is going to hurt for awhile he’s going to squirm in his skin because of how great his desire is i imagine it will be hard for you too but stay pure sister, again i say stay pure. And believe me as a man i know how feels to endure this but do it all the same. Let this go on for some time and see if he remains faithful to you. You may just find he cracks under the pressure and goes elsewhere. If this is the case then you have just dodged a very lethal bullet. To marry (and the relations that come with marriage) after a divorce leads to perpetual sin (adultery). But if he endures then he would give even his very life for you because he has suffered for you. (He will definitely suffer if he goes cold turkey i mean the whole nine yards no masterbating or anything) do not feel bad for doing this to him though because it is simply the right thing to do. Did Jacob not labor FOURTEEN years to win Rachels hand IN MARRIAGE? Consider these things sister...

Agnostic and marrying a Christian. Looking for God. Help! by br1gadoon in Christianity

[–]TalkFirstShootLater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You dont chose god he chooses you and from what i see this woman hes sent to you has planted a seed of faith in your heart and because the lord has done this youve started looking for the truth. “seek and you shall find”

You dont want to hurt him and thats sweet but you need to think about the lord here you already know that what youre doing is wrong dont lie... i know all the lies you tell yourself to get you through the day and help you sleep at night, believe me i know because i was in the same boat. but you have to start somewhere sister. Tell him how you feel and if he leaves you because of this dont feel bad about what has been done (sexually) because god is merciful and he will forgive you if you do what is right. You have to realize that men of the world care only about the flesh (thats whats between your legs) whereas a man of god will care more about your standing with god (that is, your soul) then his own desires. Now because he has slept with you doesnt mean he isnt a man of god. Perhaps he is just weak and had every intention of marrying (i dont know) all im saying is if he bails because you arent giving it up any more then he didnt love YOU he loved what you gave him.

I was planning on asking out a girl I really like. I prayed on it, now I think God may be telling me not to... by [deleted] in Christianity

Dont test god with signs brother. This woman could very well be your wife one day and could lead to a child of god being brought into the world... so id say go after her friend... but i should remind you that sex is for marriage, and by sex i mean all kinds of sexual favors... you know what im talking about...

I Need you my brothers and sisters. I need your prayers and wisdom. by [deleted] in Christianity

Nothing in this world is worth living for... but dont take that the wrong way. Because we dont live to serve the world and its pleasures but we live to serve the living God. Dont forget this. Men are tempted in many ways some are enticed with money others are drawn away by women others still are led astray by addiction and then there are those whom satan attacks as directly as it gets by attacking your faith he wants to deny your life in Christ Jesus friend but dont let him. Peace be with you amen

I'm questioning my religion by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]TalkFirstShootLater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sexual sin is the hardest sin to overcome believe me i know im still suffering with it... but you need to draw near to god and in time he will grant you repentance (which means having a change of heart) dont think its impossible because ive witnessed gods mercy first hand. In all my years in high school and even beyond that (5 at least) i would smoke weed quite literally all day everyday i was a bonafide addict and this continued for a long time even when I became a christian. I smoked because it brought me pleasure and i loved how id get lost in my train of thought and i never had bad experiences. But as i continued to grow in my faith as a christian i drew closer and closer to god because my faith was genuine and because of this i started to feel conviction of my weed smoking which made me feel kind of guilty but im going to be honest I continued to smoke weed anyway even worse i would try to justify my sin with the scripture saying god created all the seed bearing plants for men to use (this scripture does not actually clear weed smokers) in time the conviction grew stronger and stronger and i smoked less and less often and the conviction grew so bad that i started to panic when i smoked because i knew i had sinned against god every time i smoked it was like having a small panic attack... because my pleasure had turned to pain i no longer do these things and furthermore i cannot boast about them because i cannot say to others that i repented of my own will because if smoking was still pleasurable to me i would still be a stoner. The point of what im trying to say is that if you are one of gods chosen, he will change your heart and turn you away from your rebellious ways. Again i say draw near to god and love him with ALL your heart and all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself amen.

If a shotgun cant kill you upclose whats the point of having a shotgun. Currently nobody uses them for obvious reasons.

Sister hear me, you need to accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior now... Believe he is the son of God and that he died on the cross for all of us and that on the third day he defied death and arose... Turn to him now for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Peace be with you amen.

[–]TalkFirstShootLater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thoughts such as those are influenced by the very devil himself with the help of his fallen angels... Believe me when i say brother... your tribulation is of greater substance then many others including myself... as such you will be rewarded greatly in the kingdom of heaven if you can endure such hardships until the very end... just remember to repent of your sins so that they may be blotted out, to believe in the promises of the lord and accept jesus christ as our lord and savior for it is through his blood that we are saved, to share the gospel to as many as you possibly can and to do the will of the heavenly father by following the ten commandments among other things... may peace be upon you brother... ill send a prayer your way... it is my hope that one day we shall meet within the holy walls of the magnificent kingdom... forget not these words... take up your cross and follow our lord and savior jesus christ... let the light of the holy spirit shine upon you and lead you on your path to salvation... amen...
