I was approached recently by a lovely woman, who is unsaved.
She asked,"Carol is sex outside of marriage a sin?"
My answer was obvious, "yes, of course the bible warns us to flee fornacation!"
"Have christians made some changes concerning the bible's instuctions," she replied?
"I certainly hope not," i said.
"well, i know for a fact, that there are people in leadership positions that are acting as man and wife and are not married, is that wrong or right, Carol?"
First off, I was embarassed, not for me, but for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Second, I had no intention of judging anyone, however, sin is sin and she had a valid question. if i avoided it, i was dancing around the truth. if i accepted it, i was arguing with the book (The Bible) that is my guide in my walk with God. and i know well that sex outside of marriage...IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO GOD! PERIOD, PARAGRAPH!
I had to give her the "truth" but first i asked. "How do you know people are sleeping together and not married?" she chuckled, "oh come on now Carol it is so obivious, be serious!"
the truth is, and it is very sad, i know she is telling the absolute truth. and her observance is correct.
Church, we are not suppose to be having sex if we are not married.. people slip, they fall and make mistakes, but to be living like husband and wife, dating and then having sex together in the relationship??? wow!
if the world is watching, the believe me GOD IS!
our youth are watching us, they know in their hearts it is wrong.
but they see adults having sexual relationships and they are "getting the message, it is okay!" Church we are going to answer for this!
i PRAY WE WAKE UP.
LEADSHIP NEEDS TO BE ABOVE REPROACH. PARENTS THAT ARE DIVORCED NEED NOT TO BE HAVING SEX WITH THEIR NEW "PARTNERS'
NO ONES PERFECT, BUT IN THIS DAY IN AGE WE CAN'T BE MESSING WITH THE WORD OF GOD!
The lady continued, "I want to do the right thing, but if the christians are sending this kind of a message?"
All christians aren't sinning, some yes. But please church lets not get the words "gossip and judgement" mixed up.
sometimes when we confront sin.. the devil screams... "your judging, your gossiping"
that is not true... we need to love and be fair.. but sin is sin and it will take you further then you want to go and keep you longer then you want to be there!"
Lets clean it up... the wages of sin is death.. but the gift of God is life...eternal.

CAROL,
I AM SINGLE AND HAVE MET A LOT OF MEN WHO ARE MINISTERS AND CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIAN. I HAVE MADE A COMMENT THAT NOT EVEN TO COMMUNICATE FOR A DATE IF THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SEX. ONE SAID," GOD MADE ALL THINGS GOOD. THAT IS WHAT HE TOLD MOSES". WHERE ARE THEY READING? ANOTHER SAID WHEN YOU ARE OVER 40 IT IS OK BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALREADY HAD SEX. WHAT? MY COMMENT WAS, " WHY WOULD THE NT SAY IF YOU ARE A WIDOW AND UNDER 60 TO REMARRY SO YOU DON'T FALL INTO SIN?" WHAT SIN DO THEY THINK HE SAY THAT SO YOU DON'T OVER EAT OR GOSSIP? DUH!
I want to know if a young single pregnant girl should get married to the baby's daddy just because of the pregnancy?

PTL Thank you Carol for sticking by Gods words. Satan even attacks Christians in this matter of sex before marriage. I have been legally separated for 4 yrs. And never once was tempted. For the scriptures state it is a sin. Non christians have a difficult time when christians fall. Esp. thoses in the ministry. They need our prayers also. Keep up the good works. Our Heavenly Father will continue to Bless you.
