I'm always shocked by people who claim to be living for Jesus and on fiyah for Him (who are "saved") who also have active sexual lives. Isn't this a conflict of interest?
I was raised to believe that sex outside of marriage is wrong. I've read many books, and listened to many tapes on why a woman's sexuality is her strength, and her "bargaining chip" so to speak where men are concerned (i.e. in exchange for my body, you give me a contract/pledge of marriage).
(I try not to judge, because although this isn't an area that I struggle with, I do have my own issues.) We know what the Word says, but what is your opinion? Are the old laws outdated? Should Christians adapt or "keep up with the times" as some ppl say? Or are people just fooling themselves when they rationalize that it's okay for them to engage in sex outside of marriage?
