Single, Saved, and Having Sex

[Honeyhips]

You are taking my comment out of context and frankly I have no desire to continue this thread, its aleady gotten out of hand. REally, there is no need to justify your comment.

Then don't even bother responding. You twisted my words around and I wanted to make my point clear in case anyone else misunderstood me.

It was not to long ago that I found myself "Single, Saved, and Having Sex" (and lots of it). And frankly, being honest, at that time, I was not reading my Word nor praying that much (and right now truth be told, I need to be more into both more heavily than I am now). But I found that when I started reading my Word and praying and building a rlp with God, the Holy Spirit would reveal things to me that needed to change. Now some of these things were very evident, such as the premarital sex, but other things were inward or changes that would seem minor to someone looking from the outside, but meant everything to the God I serve.

One thing I learned in the area of dealing with sins particularly sex before marriage is that things would only change when I was ready to deal with the issue. I think sometimes we don't want to deal with the issue, and often times we label things as a struggle or a stronghold in our lives that are not necessarily so (all in all, we give certain sins too much power in our lives and in the church, particularly gossip, but back to topic). Now don't get my wrong, I am not saying that people do not honestly struggle with premarital sex or any other sin for that matter, and we all have to deal with sin on a daily basis, but I am saying is if you are to be honest with yourself, is it an area that is truly a stronghold, or an area where you have not dealt with the issue? For me personally, when I look back I know that it was an area that I had not dealt with the issue. I had not read, prayed, fasted, kept God's Word in my mouth, and set appropiate boundaries by the HS as to what was too "far", so how could I expect victory in this area? When I had done all these things and committed to doing things God's way, guess what I never had problems in this area again. Now I was tried, and tested, but I leaned on HS and let Him provide my way of escape according to 1 Cor 10:13.
!!!!

This all I wanted to say but you said it a lot more dimplomatically than I did. (I love you for that and the way you explain things) I apologize for my bluntness.

This isn't worth carrying on. All the cattiness just isn't necessary.

SweetC, introspective post. Good job.

cattiness? On who's part? I was not trying to be catty towards anyone. Tongue and cheek, a little blunt... Yes... But catty? No. That is not where I was coming from in my post.

If it isn't worth it to you, stop responding.

Honey, I, the "pitiful welfare queen", have placed "Annarkei" on Ignore. I encourage you to do the same

 

[Annakei]

Good riddens....

ETA: By the way Blosssom and Honeyhips have been on my IGNORE LIST, since my last post. I have no time for this continued drama. Miss me with it...

Ya know, I think it's very sad that we as Christian can not have a conversation w/o insulting each other. I hope this is not the second thread to be close.

REMEMBER WHAT JESUS SAID TO THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THE ADULTEROUS WOMAN TO HIM "WHOEVER IS W/O SIN, THROW THE FIRST STONE".

There is a lot of people in the stone throwing business here making themself sinless and blamless. If you sin, had sex before marriage, even if it was in the past; don't you dare throw stones at other people because you were just as sinful yourself. Unless, you are making yourself God and I am not pointing fingers to anyone. If these words convict you take it to the Father and don't send some insulting comments back.

As for all of us, we are all sinners and our flesh opposes our spirit. Even Paul in Galatian wrote in Romans: Chapter 7:18-21

[bold] 18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.[bold]


In Chapter 14, Paul talks about the danger of cristism:
verse 10: So why do you condem another Christian? Why do you look down on another Chrisitan? Remember, each of us will stand personally before the judgment seat of God.

Girl, stop.



Anakei, why do you keep responding, since you are claiming that this is catty. Isn't that catty? Do you need to have the last word? Did you feel like I was calling you out or trying to put down the women who are saved and having sex?

I agree. Which is why all the stone throwing doesnt bother me at all. People do it because of their own issues on the inside and it makes them feel better. Regardless of what may be said about how I choose to live my life....it is just that...my life and I am judged by one God, not any one person. I just think it is sad that as women, we have to resort to this kind of behavior, its mean spirited, still just shows you that some women live up to the stereotype of being catty and nasty.

Blossssom and Honeyhips, I have nothing against you both, you can judge, snicker and call me names and make all the insinuations about my life as it makes you happy. This is the internet and I don't even know you so really your words mean nada to me. This reminds me of scenes at the playground with HoneyHips taunting back and forth about responding and whether or not its worth it. Once you said that, I knew that you were lacking maturity and had to hit that IGNORE button. I prefer to have conversations with ADULT, MATURE women who aren't threatened by me. SEems thats what's going on here because really no one can judge me. ALOT of women have said they have enagaged in premarital sex and live with their hubbies...and these 2 choose me to talk about? Please...something else going on there.

But as I said, Y'all are on my ignore lists and I dont plan on checking this thread anymore or this BOARD for that fact. I have found that TRULY some are judgemental and only God will judge me, remember that. He doesnt need assistance. PEACE OUT WENCHES!!!

What did Jesus tell the woman at the well after he saved her? Go and sin no more, right? Right.

Most of what is posted here on this board is a matter of opinion. You don't have to agree with it, including a lot of what you say.

Me guilty? Of what, dear? I'm not even a Christian, but I don't

Blosssom, excuse me if I am misinterpeting this but you are not a Christian?
If you are not, I don't mean any disrepect towards you because I accept everyone in my life Christian or not but this forum is for practicing Christians who believe Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It's under the Christianity Rules thread.

If you are, sorry for misinterpeting your comments.

I am praying for each person who responded on this thread that God will enlighted our hearts and minds w/ His glory. I pray that every word written in this forum is for the purpose of glorifying and honoring God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit only because this is what Christianity is all about.

Bless All of you and use your words and action to glorify God always. The bible clearly says to turn the other cheek when someone strikes you.

Be Blessed
