Why Young Christians Aren't Waiting Anymore

Shimmie
Let me tell you what you need to let go...

You are so quick to preach to someone and rebuke them, but the minute someone expose your dirty drawers you can't handle it. For once in your life swallow your pride, your self rigtheous attitude, and humble yourself under the mighty hand of God. Allow God to hold a mirror up to your heart because my dear, it is deceitful.

I never professed that I'm perfect. I put that list up there so we can all be delivered.

So if the shoe fits wear it, and be delivered.

Jeremiah 17:9-10
The heart is deceitful above all things. And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the Lord search the heart, I test the mind.

Thank you, PinkPebbles. You've confirmed what I sensed was going on here. :yep:
 
I haven't read the whole article or all of the replies to this thread. I will have to eta later on. I just wanted to say that I am 20 years old and I'm still a virgin. Has it been difficult? Yes, especially since I had unbalanced hormones and had to go on birth control.

I thought because I wasn't having sex, I was ok to do other "things" to help control my urges. I have been battling this addiction/ problem for years until recently when I believe God slapped me up side the head..I believe that this sin, was /is the portal of my cancer. Especially due to its location and everything. Sorry for going a bit OT. I'll write more later, but I defiantly think this is a real issue that needs more attention, and stop being stupid and encouraging "boys to be boys",etc.

Jynlnd13 ...

Still and always... I'm praying for your healing.

You're a baby, so young to have this going on in your body. Yet you bear it, choosing to honour God and choosing to love Him.

When I look at the world and see how it carries on with it's craziness, and then see a young child of God, who's heart is set to please Him, and who is under such an attack, only a miracle can be in store; only a miracle.

With all of my heart, I believe you are healed, completely. A testimony unto God. This is not a sickness unto death (John 11:4), but a testimony of one who has given her heart where many doubted.

Healed you are, in Jesus' Name. Amen. :giveheart:
 
I Really, REALLY have something to say, but im on the fence on whether i should say it or not. . .but i just feel like there isnt another viewpoint being addressed here.

I may BBL.
 
Amen!! To the testimony! See people need to hear our struggles , but also how we came out of them and how we dont have to be Chrisitans struggling and barely hanging on, but we can be overcomers through Christ because He said we are more than conquerors....!!!! :yay::yay:

Often, some may feel that their 'struggles' may not help another, yet they do help others... 'Often'. And for this I praise God each day, helping others, mostly to and for those whose testimonies have helped me.

And while we are on the topic of sins, let us EXPOSE IT ALL so everyone can be delivered up in this camp.

SINS that are overlooked in the Body of Chirst.

PRIDE
SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS
ARROGANCE
GOSSIP
EVIL THINKING
IDOLATRY
SELF-SEEKING
FALSE PROPHETS
ENVY
JEALOUSY
BACK-BITING
STRIFE
UNFORGIVENESS
STUBBORN
DISOBEDIENCE
INSTIGATORS
GREED
RUDENESS
CONDESCENDING

This list is a part of the reason I posted about marrying earlier. I think the church can be too quick to be satisfied with washing the outside of the cup while leaving the interior to rot. I'm reminded of that ridiculous thread on "soaking" where these Mormon kids decided it wasn't really sex so long as no one moved... :look: Or the fact that so many consider oral sex okay because "technically" they haven't had sex (which apparently is a concept much more prevalent in the post-Clinton generation). Then there's the issue of pornography and how one minister said that when he speaks at seminaries he just assumes now that the great majority of the men either have or are using it because it's just that prevalent. Then there's simply lusting in one's heart...

Those are just the various permutations of sexual sin, not even talking about those listed above that other people may or may not find visible. I agree that fornication is held up as the serious sin, the one where if you do that, you must be really bad. I believe there are reasons for being extra wary of fornication, but I also agree that we need to do the more basic work of sanctification, because no one who is walking closely with the Lord will be fornicating.
 
I think it is unfair to lump all christians who have had premarital sex into one group. Not everyone went into the situation thinking "I'm going to do me". I have talked to several people who had no intentions of having sex before marriage only to get "caught up" in a situation. To say that it is a lack of fear or that these individuals are less of a Christian is unfounded. Unless you know exactly what is going on within an individual you cannot judge their reason behind their actions. Call sin a sin but be careful how you lable the sinner.
 
Honestly I mean no offense, nothing to do with you it's just that your comment is similar to many that I see on Christian boards, people not intending to sin etc.... but why do we continue to 'put' ourselves in certain situations and end up in sin, if he and he DOES provides a way of escape why don't we take it...why are we falling more and escaping less...

No one gets caught up into sinning as if it's something unavoidable. 1 Corinthians 10:13 tells us we have the power of God to not let our temptation turn into sin.
 
This is so true. :yawn:
the bible says He is able to keep you from falling. The bible speaks of Christians being able to overcome the sins and temptations of this world. But some times people act is if we have to live a life of continual falling, like it almost normal to sin everyday..

Yes as Christians we have struggles, and we can make mistakes.But its shouldnt be a life style of falling...Alot of times we fall because we put ourself in the middle of our weaknesses. it comes a time when Christ gives you strength in your weaknesses and you OVERCOME them

The bible says " Can a man put fire in his bosom and not be burned"? Can we continue to play with our weaknesses and not end up in sin? Can man continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid.


There are somethings I dont entertain since Ive been saved. Some people say, You over reacting,you too extreme....ect, but Im trying to keep the delieverance Christ has given me.For example, I dont watch "love movies"...why? because I dont have time to sit around in despair and battle about not being married or wondering "I wonder what it would be like ....."(THIS IS WHAT I DO FOR ME :look:) The bible says "Lay aside every sin AND weight that easily besets you.." Is having dinner with a man a sin? Of course not. But you wont find me doing it because I wanna keep myself before God.It can be a weight to me. I dont put myself into situations to fall..

(Example)Betty Jane made have had sex with Billy Joe. Betty Jane says afterward" Oh my! How did this happen??? Betty Jane dont tell you her and Billy Joe was hugged up on the couch in a dark room watching movies either. The devil cant make us do nothing, we have to yield to the tricks/ snares he throws our way. The bible also says, we are enticed and drawn away by our OWN lusts..thats why we have to born again, and empowered with the Holy Spirit to have our heart and mind and desires changed.

I'm very married and WE don't watch many "love movies" because of some of the suggestive thoughts that are placed in many of these movies. I want singles to know that married couples can experience foul things planted in the mind, just as much as anyone else. So, we are mindful of what we watch, read and listen to, so that we don't fall into temptations.
 
ITA...we all have to take a stand, there are simple things that we can do...I don't watch love movies either and if someone is making out I switch channels, I'm careful what I watch and what I listen to which is all a part of protecting the eye and ear gates...

Imo 'dates' should be chaperoned yes chaperoned, even when you get engaged especially then ... 'petting' is foreplay = arousal which can lead to sex, if your hand is 'light' don't work with money, just like alcoholics should stay away from alcohol...

We need to make more an effort we are equipped with everything pertaining to life AND godliness we have power AND authority YET our struggles are still so great ...

That is so good @ nice&Wavy!!! I see you really have a standard!!

If we as believers don't have a standard against these things, we will constantly fall for the okey-dokey by the enemy.

The bible tells us to "Cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."

Imaginations come from what we "see". Our eye gates must be protected as much as possible, however...we know that that's almost impossible because we see so many things on a daily basis. But, we can CHOOSE what we watch, thereby we cast it down.
 
No one gets caught up into sinning as if it's something unavoidable. 1 Corinthians 10:13 tells us we have the power of God to not let our temptation turn into sin.


Sin is avoidable but the bible tells us that there is no one who hasn't fallen short or is sinless. We all sin. Just because you don't commit a "big" sin doesn't make it any better. We talk about self control when it comes to premarital sex but that goes with sin across the board. If anyone has ever sinned they have had a lapse in self control. We are all in the same boat.
 
The bible says
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

thats past tense.

it doesnt say all is sinning and come short. Of course before we saved we did, but when you become save, God expects more from us.
you are absolutely right, no sin is greater than the other. Sin is sin.

But no one ever has to stay bound to sin, that why Christ came, to free us from our sin.


1st John 3V9
9Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God


Im not saying all this to make you "look bad"...i sincerely want you to know the truth, because someone had to tell me the truth as well.:yep:

I agree that we should not continue in sin or even practice sin. But as a Christian to sit there and act that when you got saved you stopped making bad choices and stopped sinning just proves that you are not being honest with yourself and others. Did not Peter deny Christ? Was he not called out about his attitude toward non-Jews? Was not David a man after God's own heart when he committed adultry and murdered the woman's husband? There and always has been deliverance from sin. I believe that with all my heart. However, I am not going to pretend that being saved means you never fall short or sin. I no longer practice sinning-but it doesn't mean that in a moment of weakness I haven't made a bad decison and fallen short. I do not use profanity but there have been times that something has popped into my mind. While I do not cuss people out (practicing sin) dropping a pot on my foot may enlicite a poor response. This is the fine line I am talking about. The article only speaks that christians are not waiting until marriage, but we have no idea about the state of those who have fallen short. That is why I feel it is more constructive to figure out what we can do to address the problem rather than judging their relationship with Christ. Just because you do not/did not commit "that" sin doesn't give you the right to judge someone's struggle. (The you is general, I don't know whether you judge or not). We as humans tend to make excuses for struggles we understand or struggle with ourselves and judge harshly struggles we have overcome or are not a issue with us.
 
Alicialynn86 - do you not sin anymore? I think that's where some of the confusion may lie in this thread.

I have came across those same verses in the Bible that you posted in your post #48 in this thread. I have been going back and forth with the idea of whether or not a true Christian sins or not... whether its daily, once a week, once a month, once a year, whatever. Are they a true Christian regardless of how often they sin or what sin it is? And I know I've asked this question before several times in other threads, but it really racks my brain sometimes after diving in deeper in the word of God and meeting people with different views on the concept of sin.

And I may have asked you this before in a thread but can't remember which thread it was, but I remember you saying how some people are not living sold out to Christ... what does it mean to you to be sold out to Christ as it relates to a Christian sinning?

It starts inside, the Christian has let their guard down in an area. That is why we are to guard our minds and hearts so that we will not be drawn into sin or allow strongholds to build. That is why we have to check ourselves and ensure that we are walking in the Way. It can happen to anyone if they are not guarded by Word and Spirit of God. The bible says "but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." James 1:14-15. That is why we are to cast down imaginations, and thoughts that exalt themselves against God and His word.
 
If you refer to my previous post in this same thread, I have stated that yes we as Christians have struggles, but shouldnt live a LIFESTYLE of continual sin..but their is victory in Christ. He strengthens you to overcome. All is sin is by CHOICE, the devil dont twists our hands behind our back and make us do anything. In the moment of our weakeness, there is still a decision to do it or not. We make the choice to sin. Yes to due to many bondages we can have a hard time saying no, ive been there. BUT i also believe that you dont stay weak to the same thing your whole christian life, and if that is the case, then it because we have surrendered that "area" to God. When the woman was caught in Adultery YES Christ realized she was wrong, and He forgave her, but He also told her to go and SIN NO MORE. And that was before the Holy Ghost was given...how much more now???


I never never never never judge anyone's struggle. I simply replied to the thread as many others do, but because I stated WITH SCRIPTURE, that sin is something we dont have to do...im wrong? I will apologize if you are misunderstanding what I am saying, but I wont apologize for what the bible says..Im sorry. The words say he that is born of God, is not committed to sin...committed meaning a lifestyle of sin.I feel like I am not judging, but giving someone hope. You dont have to "deal" with any sin, but you can be made free...

But as a Christian to sit there and act that when you got saved you stopped making bad choices and stopped sinning just proves that you are not being honest with yourself and others.

First I want to say that by no means have I "made it" or Im just squeaky clean in every area of my life. I cry out to God for deliverance and I need help, because its a true battle between the flesh and the spirit. But what I will say is this, as God shows me what I need to work on, I get those things right. I dont justify myself, my sin, or my wrong. But I line it up with the word of God, and if it dont line up, im forsaking it. Alot of times when I may quote a scripture to someone doesnt mean that I have conquered that scripture, but i tell you one thing, Im striving to line up with it. Striving means a painstaking effort to perform. That means Im doing everything I can to make the scriptures performed in my life. I never justify my error or way or doing it. I DONT make excuses for sin..because there is no excuse. You think God sent his ONLY son to die so we can struggle our lives, but he said He came to give us life more abundantly. Alot of things I say isnt popular, but all I care about is truth.


Now let me answer your questions boo :look:
Are they a true Christian regardless of how often they sin or what sin it is? Now when you "they" , I CANT say per say, because I dont who they are..Alot of times when I am replying in the threads I am speaking on a GENERAL term.The bible says the LORD know them that are His. Paul persecuted Christians but he sincerely thought he was doing the will of God.But he was a chosen vessel from God, and God changed him.So GENERALLY speaking, I myself, was not raised in church, had no church background, never went to church and I thought I was a Christian. Why because society taught me, as long as you "believe" you a Christian, but the bible says the devils believe and tremble too..So what seperated me from the devils? But I will say this, the bible says, the sheep know HIS VOICE. WHen the gospel of Jesus Christ was shared with me, and God began to enlightened me about things, I began to deny those ungoldly works,because I was a sheep.Yes, i had struggles,...still struggle with things but im walking in my delieverance and RESISTING IT but like i stated earlier, as God shows me what is wrong, i put them away. And it not by my strength, but its through prayer and fasting So, I will say this....

Everyone keep saying "struggle"

Struggles means . To be strenuously engaged with a problem, task, or undertaking: 3. To make a strenuous effort; strive: 4. To contend or compete:

Now we see struggles means fighting against, not just settling for.So if someone is stuggling with sin, it means they are resisting it, even though the the urge may be coming up, they are fighting against, not just giving into it easily. Thats a struggle..But if someone is willingly going to the club and getting drunk every week, planning for the next weekend to come to do the same thing..is that a struggle with sin or blatant sin? (JUST EXAMPLE) Or someone stuggling with anger? The know they have problems with this particular person, do they resist the urge to go off on them, or walk away, or do they plan the harsh words for the next time they see them? Struggle or will-full sin?

Again and again and again i will say...yes we have some struggles,but the bible says those who hunger and thrist after righteousness shall be filled. If you have a hunger to be made free God will free you! Some delievreance dont happen over night.When I came to God, the sin of cursing and drinking was removed immediately (My testimony) but the sin of anger and unforgivness was something I had to fast and pray to be free from and it had to be uprooted out of me. I have to remind my self that on the last day when I stand before God , no excuse will stand. God will do everything in his power to save us, we just have to grab a hold of his salvation


Sin is sin. There is no sin greater than the other. the child molester is just as bad in the eyes of God as the liar.We have taught ourselves bad habits, but the same way we taught ourselves bad things, we can teach it good things as well

People think you trying to "holier than thou" when you tell them you dont have to sin. But I tell them because I been at the bottom of the barrel..I been quenched with sin, but i would be doing Jesus an injustice if I say you couldnt be made free. I would be "dimming" my testimony, if I didnt tell you I wasnt bound any more..and I wont do that. If i say "yea u gotta sin", I would be slapping Christ in the face because thats not true

any more questions please let me know....:yep:

Not sure why you referred to me as "boo", but thanks for answering some of my questions.

When I said "they" I meant "Christians".

I also hear Christians who always talk about this "struggle" with sin. I know there are some who are fighting against it by resisting it and not doing what their flesh wants them to do as you have pointed out, but I know there are some Christians who say they are struggling with sin who are really willingly giving in and enjoying the sin.
 
I didnt mean anything when I said "boo", sorry it offended you.
