Bible Question: Thank you all for your responses. However, neither one of us were virgins when we "hooked up", this change came about after a year of "hooking up". We had plans to marry 3 years from now and she just decided to abstain totally until we married. How would your responses differ after knowing more details? Do they remain the same? |
Bible Answer: Dear JMR, I also do not think that the answers should be any different. One of the great things about salvation is that we are forgiven from our past. Therefore, in God's eyes, whether you were virgins or not in the past is irrelevant. What is important is that in the present you live your lives according to His will, and that is to not have sex outside of marriage. My one question is, "Why are you waiting 3 years to get married?" I would imagine that after a year of be so initmately involved with each other, and having both come to the truth of Christianity together, that two people would be ready to commit to spend their lives together. Of course there could be extenuating circumstances, but I'm just curious. |
