this is the way it goes for us Catholic boys anyway.

As a kid

you go to church on Sunday, you have no idea what the priest is saying you just kneel and stand when the real old people do ( they know what he is talking about)

you go to confession but only tell him some of the bad things you did that week ( you lie to him a bit). say a few prays.. light a candle.. but leave no money.. and your good to go.. you are a kid, and you know God is not going to strike you down for BS'ing a bit.

get your communion ( and the cards with the money from your relatives)
then confirmation ( more cards and more money)

then you are around 14 yrs old and in public school and all you want to do is hang out with your friends, eat.. and get laid

you first try to pick up the catholic school girls.. because they are easier then the public school girls.

so to answer your question.. yes.. we do...in our teens.. and as much as possible.

real Christian dot do it... and if they do it's sin.

Well, call me a sinner then... fine with me. do you really believe that "immaculate conception".. line.. I don't... little " dirty dancing " going on that no one knew about.. Lol

they were bone dancing from day one.. hunter and hunted... human nature.. sorry :)

I'm a Christian and I sin...psst, we all sin. No matter how much you lie to yourself, you sin.

As far as the topic, I enjoy having sex. I have no plans on getting married, and so will continue to sin in that regard. Will it make me any less Christian, no. Will God continue to forgive me, if I ask for forgiveness. I hope so.

In the end it's between you and God. Everyone else's opinion is moot.

hello i want to be your friend

im a real christian,and im following the law written in the bible..no PMS...or marriage b4 sex..

I have FAITH and I have FEAR in GOD..and I really do believe in GOD.

hi

hhi

I'm not sure . the roman catholic church apparently came out with an updated list of new sins that fits our new millennium . i always thought it was up to god to decide what was a sin or not . now i wonder if it wasn't the same church who decided 2,000 years ago the so called original sins to . I guess we'll never know . go with your heart i guess . as long as your clean respectful and not getting accidentally pregnant , I don't see the harm . just my opinion .

Would someone please tell me where in the bible does it say that you are supposed to stand in front of a minister, preacher, rabbi whatever he may be to you, to get married? Where in the bible does it say that you have to have a license to be married? And lastly, who performed the marriage ceremony for Adam & Eve?

When I read my bible, it tells me that God put's a man and a woman together in marriage. So, when you get right down to it, there is no middleman. The part of having sex before marriage, that's different. To my way of thinking it depends on where the heart is.

Now, a lot of people don't have their heart in the right place. They see someone they find attractive. Now it seems there are too many people that want to "test drive" first. It's not about whether they love each other or not. And it's not about the right kind of compatibility either. It's about how good the sex is. That's what makes it wrong.

When God put Adam & Eve together, it wasn't about sex. It was about love and companionship. I believe that's the way God meant it to be. God puts one man and one woman together in marriage. And it's supposed to be forever.

But now, for many, it's about sex or what monetary thing one might be able to give the other. Sex is like looks, it eventually fades. If you base your relationships on sex or looks, the relationship is bound to fail. Just my humble opinion. But God ain't in it.

So do I. But he didn't strike me down for getting laid before marriage.

We're mortals.. we are supposed to screw up.. you do your Saturday confession.. and you are good to good for another week.

Plus.. God was a guy... what do you think he didn't.. know?.. come on now.. think.

I know one thing for sure.. I lead a good life.. good man. and I am sure I am not going to hell for getting laid before I was married.. It would be pretty crowded down there.. don't you think?

if you don't think it's wrong you absolutely should, scripture teaches it plainly

Must have hit your head,seriously

Hello

Hello

Ok

Agree. Except I don't believe in the God portrayed in organized religions anymore. I tried for decades to fit into a religion because I live a lifestyle that alienates me from mainstream society, but I just felt so many things were off (as in hypocritical) within Christianity and the disconnect between the teachings and the way nobody was actually following them was too much for me. Also the idea that I should trust my heart, soul and spirituality to some stranger(s) because they think they have a special connection to God which I can't have, even though I am closer to my soul than any other person could ever be.

One thing I did always like about organized religions was the waiting-for-marriage "rule." However I always wondered why people needed to be dominated and then forced by some perceived external, all-mighty being to implement the rule. You can't really trust someone who is doing something based on an external order. If they were left to their own devices, most of the religious people in the world would become just as promiscuous as anyone else in mainstream Western society. If it is not in their heart to save themselves for marriage, they would go out having sex here and there too if the pressure and manipulation of their religion were not bearing down upon them, and that is no reason to abstain from sex--it's disingenuous.

not true at all.Some are violating and doing although know about the sins.But,that should be considerable,not a big.
