i forget which thread this mite go in so ill jus put this here..


is being sexually active a sin? or jus "sex in general" because ive been sexually active for years and i never thought ive done anything wrong as long as i didnt go to far

[Sugaree]

According to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, sex before marriage is a sin. Having sex, no matter at what point in life you're at, it does mean you are sexually active. I'm not so sure on the opinions that the Roman Catholic Church holds when it comes to sexual activity, but having sex before marriage is a "sin". I put sin in quotations only because I find it to be a bunch of bullshit. I don't believe in sin, I believe in right and wrong as do many others. Sex in general can't be considered wrong because it's a part of human nature. If this Supreme Creator made us in his image, I'm almost certain that He (or She :P) had given us this nature for whatever reason it might be.

I hold that nothing is wrong with being sexually active, let alone sex in general. I just find it amazingly stupid that people will go around and chase all the tail they can get. I find that wrong. Sure, sex is a good thing, but don't overdo it ;)

Matthew, I found your post very confusing. It may be unfair only to quote that snippet but really, that's not very insightful.

Bobby, its not exactly clear what you have or have not done. To be honest, I'm not sure that that would change my answer anyway.

Its really up to you to interpret your own faith and to think whether, as a Christian you believe Christ would condemn your actions. It doesnt matter a fuck to me what any priest or church elder tells you. Christ said "let him who is without sin cast the first stone".

Okie dokie lmao

Yes. It's a sin. Get your body cryogenically frozen and you'll spend less time burning in Hell.

[Antares]

According to the bible, aren't you supposed to wait to have sex until marriage.

If that is the case, then you're a sinner. No if, ands, or buts about it.

Which leads to my notion that Christians are the most hypocritical religious people on the face of the earth. They follow the bible but only some parts of it...it seems.

Oh you gosh-darned hecklers. :rolleyes:

The Bible says that you are only supposed to have sex during marriage as long as you are making a child. If you are just having sex for fun...then that supposedly wrong.

[JackOfClubs]

Being sexually active outside of marriage is a sin. Doing anything sexual outside of marriage is a sin. But everyone does it :rolleyes:

Wait a sec. It's not fair to label all christians as hypocrites- I'm sure there a alot of people who say they beleive one thing and do another, but there are alot of people who genuinely try to do the right thing by their beleifs. And anyway, the whole point of christianity is that when you do mess up (and everyone does) you can still ask for forgiveness...

Anyway.

The Bible says that you are only supposed to have sex during marriage as long as you are making a child. If you are just having sex for fun...then that supposedly wrong.

No it doesn't, as far as I'm aware. I agree with this person:

Sex in general can't be considered wrong because it's a part of human nature. If this Supreme Creator made us in his image, I'm almost certain that He (or She :P) had given us this nature for whatever reason it might be.

Why would God have designed sex the way it is if he didn't intend for us to enjoy it? Sex in itself isn't wrong, but I also beleive there should be standards. like waiting until marriage, or at least until you meet someone you think you could marry, rather than jumping into bed with whoever.

Christians are just like any other person, imperfect. Any Christian who claims to be perfect is deluded. We only see the mistakes of Christians more clearly because of the guidelines that they try to follow and how far these guidelines are from the ways that society has come to accept.

The Bible says that you are only supposed to have sex during marriage as long as you are making a child. If you are just having sex for fun...then that supposedly wrong.

That's the Catholic church that teaches that, it is not said in the Bible.

[ThatDude93]

Yeah, sex before marriage and outside of marriage is a sin...but as it says in the Bible..."All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Christ died to cleanse you of your sins...so if you are a believer, you just need to pray for forgiveness.

[Mental]

Yeah, sex before marriage is a sin in Christianity. So is sodomy, adultery (which even meas if you have sex after a divorce, you're committing adultery).

'Tis fornication.

But hell.. like most Christians. You can pick and choose which parts you want to follow, and not others you want to conveniently dismiss or ignore. :rolleyes:
I mean, it doesn't matter if God thinks fornication is a mortal sin, like that of murder.. it's OK..

Quite frankly I do not mean to be rude but I think almost no coments on here have answered your question, all stating about actual sex before marriage not being sexual active(without going all the way).

I am terrible at rembering bible versus but I think in the new testment probably in matthew there is a verse saying that wehen Jesus was around with his disiplces he said something along the lines of :have you every looked at a woman with lust? THis is an equal sin to adultery."In my interpertation of that verse any sexual thoughts or acts are sinful. I must admit I myself t times have struggeled with this, but trhe great thing is Christ forgives and we are redeemed through him!

I am sorry this is kinda vague, with terrible grammar and spelling but it is sorta late here and I need to be off to bed.

"That is a sin! A really bad sin, and you're a really bad person for doing it!!!!"

"It's okay though, cause Christ forgives!!!!!!!!1!"

"It's okay though, cause Christ forgives!!!!!!!!1!"

That's a really simplistic view of a complicated issue, you can work through God's forgeviness but only if you only do not continue with the sin deliberatly.

Friend, I have addressed this claim in the previous thread, I suggest you read it and understand it. All men are hypocrites, all men are fallible; when one does not understand the Bible, such as you, they are prone to make such idiotic statements, as to classify an entire group of people.

Further, according to the Bible, all men are sinners, so by saying "then you're a sinner…[n]o if, ands, or buts about it," you are simply stating the obvious, like "the world is a dangerous place.”

There is a major issue with Christians disregarding their own teachings for what the world has to offer, there is an issue with Christians picking and choosing; however, your statement is not only a broad generalization, but based on some strange assumption that Christians are not as fallible as any other man, or somehow, do not admit that they are. Most Christians try to be, others do not, but in the end, the result is the same, they quite simply fall short of even remotely living a “sin free” life; the Bible speaks of this, in fact, that is the basis of the entire New Testament, but of course, you probably wouldn’t know a thing about that.

I'm sorry but I am not going to sit around and read all of your posts just because. I could care less what you have said in the past because I didn't see it. What I do care about is now. So I will be addressing this post and no others of yours.

I guess I don't understand the Bible very well...or the notion of Christianity in fact because last time I checked, you were supposed to obey god, obey his teachings, obey his word, obey the bible, obey everything. Be a good follower. Not sure where it says men are sinners...it'd be nice if you can direct me to the right place.
I know god is supposed to preach forgiveness and forgive you for your sins but I don't think 3/4 of the people that claim to be Christians are good Christians...as in they don't follow the rules and as a person that wants to go to heaven and live with god yaddy yaddy ya, if you really wanted that, you would either not sin, or find a new religion.

Maybe the pope should annul the law of god and just say "Follow the bible as you see fit." Then everyone would live a sin free life and get into heaven and all would be good. :)

If you wish to wallow in your own ignorance because you are too lazy to seek the truth, so be it.

That's all you got? You don't understand the Bible, nor have you taken the time to do so. As such, why do you feel you can judge an entire religion off of misinformation, misinterpretations and your unfounded bigotry?

I mean, forming an opinion from willful ignorance is one thing, but then passing that opinion off as fact is quite another, much more egregious element; what makes you, a person who is willingly ignorant, any better than StateRights from the thread about Obama?

If anything, you are the worse of the two, as you won't so much as take your own advice about fact checking.
