Single or taken?

[David]

Since I missed the whole sex before marriage discussion, I'll post my opinion on the matter now...

First of all, I am Christian, and I do see sex as something more than just pleasure. But should it be saved for marriage? Sure, if that's what you want. But I believe that as long as you're in a committed relationship, having sex is perfectly fine. If you think about it, what's the difference between marriage and a committed relationship? A ceremony and a some legal papers, that's all. I don't see why you should have to wait for marriage if you already plan on spending the rest of your life together. Besides, some people can't get married. Andrew and I are a perfect example. We'd get married right this second if we could, but because the country we live in is so *censored.3.0*ed up, it's not legal for us to get married in the state we live in. If we would have waited until marriage to have sex, then we'd be waiting for a long time. But feel like, act like, and have the same vows as a married couple, so isn't that enough? To me, if you're both ready to spend the rest of your lives together, and you're truly in love, then sex is perfectly fine. If anything, it'll make your relationship even better. Of course, if you're a straight couple and not in the position to take care of kids, then you should be cautious and use protection until you're ready. (Luckily, I don't have to worry about that, lol.)

So, there. That's my opinion. If someone choses to wait until marriage, then you should respect their decision, not criticize them for it. But at the same side, people shouldn't be using the Bible to condemn people who have had sex before marriage. Yes, I'm Christian, but I know well enough that you can't take the Bible 100% literally, nor does everything it says apply to current times. I'm sure none of you believe eating shellfish is a sin punishable by death, right?

i thought andrew was your brother. :|

gag.

heh...

Technically Tyeforce, the Bible speaks of homosexual sex as immoral and a sin, and those will be punished. Read Corinthians I.

He said the bible doesn't apply to current times, therefore contradicting his sex before marriage views.

I said certain parts of the Bible, not it in its entirety.

@ Tye: Sorry for pushing my beliefs on you like that, I actually didn't even read your whole post before I posted, nor have I really known much background about you. It was a bit rude of me to post it; it came out hastily really, and I wasn't really thinking much about where I was posting and who I was speaking to.

So, if you have read my post, disregard it, and if you haven't, well, you'd read it anyway. I don't want to start any arguments, so I'm just clearing this up. I understand what you said after reading your post again, and noticing the last sentences. Yes, I also believe that some things in the Bible are "outdated". For instance, something that troubled me was that "women would either have to shave their hair or cover it", because it was then believed to be sexually attractive to men, who I suppose were just too big a pervert to handle themselves. Yeah, I know what you mean now. Just disregard my previous post if you will. I won't say I completely agree, but I know what you mean.

That's picking and choosing.

Technically Tyeforce, the Bible speaks of homosexual sex as immoral and a sin. Read Corinthians I. Those who commit such a crime will die in blood, or something along the lines of that, referring to aids or something of that manner. I'm not angry or anything, I was simply pointing it out. We don't judge anyone.

That's funny, because the original Hebrew Bible certainly doesn't. All the verses that speak of homosexuality were added in by the Catholic church. It's not real Christianity, it's the biased distortion of it that we are taught today.

Then shouldn't you be Jewish?

Why does that mean I should be Jewish? .-. There was nothing about homosexuality in the Bible until it had been officially "translated" by the Catholics. Yes, the original was in Hebrew, but that doesn't mean I should be Jewish. >_>

Okay. Don't worry, wasn't mad or anything, lol. I don't judge people for their beliefs, either.

Alright then, just making sure. I really didn't wanna start a flame thread, that was me long ago. Not now.

It doesn't. It's just for the epic battle scenes. XD

It can be just as special without a legal ceremony.
