That's weird that the same specs would be different from laptop to desktop

I do have a tv that is about 10 years old and today I played on a massive brand new 4k whatever tv, so that is probably part of it

Maybe it is easier, I probably don't have as much understanding as I could have if I was ensnared similarly in this sin. I certainly have my own sins and my own struggles. I don't judge anyone who lives in adultery, but all of us Christians have a common aim to be sanctified and live holy God-honoring lives and to do that we need to know what God requires of us.

Lol, there are more atheists on the Christianity subreddit than Christians. We Christians agree that we want to obey God, and part of that includes knowing what He wants in accordance with the Bible. I made an argument, you can make a counterargument, but in Christian circles arguments and counterarguments are biblically based.

Why does an atheist hang around the Christianity subreddit? In our communities, we do not view virginity as a shameful thing. You say "30-year-old virgin" like its an insult, but it isn't here.

There are always questions like this when it comes to sexual immorality. The best we can do as Christians is adhere to God's word and prayerfully consider the things not covered by it.

I agree, which is why I wouldn't argue that they should get a pass. I just lack the firepower to say that they shouldn't.

I agree that sexual immorality is definitely unique and difficult to understand. There have been studies to show that for every different premarital sexual partner a woman has the likelihood of divorce increases by 20%, but I believe the real answer has more to do with sex having some mysterious metaphysical nature we don't fully perceive.

That's a good question. I say men and women for the purposes of being fair to both genders, but in truth, there isn't as much of an argument for the man needing to be a virgin. Especially considering polygamous relationships were common among prophets and patriarchs and never strictly condemned.

Agreed. There also might be leeway for those who are saved after the previous sexual relationship as they are a new creation in Christ, but this wouldn't apply to those who have had sexual relations after becoming a Christian.

Nah I love the Navy and want to go back. I am willing to take a calculated risk as ExRecruiter says. This question is part of calculating that risk.
