Stand firm in your belief of NO SEX BEFORE Marriage,,, waver on that,,,and you'll regret it forever.  SEx is a fleeting thing, and often times that is all they are wanting.  They seem to think it is a vital part of having a relationship. Boy , not me.  Not that I am speaking from experience here.  BUt once you share that part of you with someone, you can't get it back.  It's the two become one thing. WHY in the world would you want to become one with anyone other than THE ONE you are to spend the rest of your life with?  I"m waiting.   And there are those out there that seem to think the abstinence thing only applies before your first marriage and not between marriages. What crap?  Show me that in the BIble please. hahaha. you wont find it there!

Wow I find men looking for it before marriage and dumping me when I say no. Did not think women did that. I applaud a man who waits for sex as it is what god wants us to do.

Hello, STGIANNA.  Here are a few verses.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becomes saints;  Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.  For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.  Ephesians 5

Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13

Do a Bible search of the word fornicator or fornication on http://biblos.com/ or http://www.topverses.com/

WOW Dorothy I cannot believe we have to answer this question among "Christians." I am so glad you posted these verses. They are just the beginning of God's answer. A "NO" to fornication and uncleanness is not a matter of "church tradition" it is a matter of holiness before a HOLY GOD!

Amazing how many have viewed this thread and yet only a very few have replied....

Thank you again WOG!

I can.  Just because we are Christians doesn't mean we are not human.  The natural urges are awesomely powerful temptations in given circumstances.

Having one's mind-set clear on the boundaries from the start helps.

Striving to avoid tempting circumstance also helps.

Trust me when I say it can and does happen to the best of the Faithful.  Just as King David.  Just ask me.  Temptation involving natural physical phenomenon is a terrible and powerful thing.

Let me give a little of my testimony here. Most everyone here knows I was in prison, but I don't think many know I was there for two years. I had been celibate for over a year prior to going, so I was really wanting to be with a woman by the time I got out.

I had come back to God while inside, and attended a Bible college there. I knew all the scriptures, but was planning to have sex anyway. I justified this in my mind by saying God will forgive me, He knows me.

It's true, He knows me, and He would forgive me, but there is always a price to pay for disobedience.

Well, I got out and started thinking about finding a woman. I found there was no real physical desire there. The thought was appealing, but there was nothing there physically. Resisting was easy. This had never been the case before in my life. I even dated a beautiful lady for a short time, and was not tempted. I even started to wonder if something was wrong with me physically, until I met the woman I am seeing now. I am glad she lives so far away.

What I am saying is, God made it easy for me to resist that temptation until there were real feelings involved. He has a way of helping His people. I have been celibate for well over 4 years now, and I know that I will wait until I am married, no matter what happens. Even if it takes 10 more years.

Sometimes we get so used to thinking about things a certain way, that we don't realize it when our feelings change. We just keep on thinking like we are used to.

Blessings,
Leon

Oops, just noticed where I am, sorry ladies. 

Well best to wait for sex. I think God is a forgiving God but he does not choose us to have sex before marriage. I have met few men that hold to this. More women seem to feel this way.
