Bible Question:
Thanks justme. You did a much better job of developing my thoughts than I did. Sometimes people (who aren't anything close to being ideal for each other) get into a dating situation and end up having sex. That's wrong that it happens, but could marriage possibly be another wrong for the couple (2 wrongs don't make a right)? I guess that the Bible doesn't go into much detail about this, but that's mainly why I'm asking. What scriptural wisdom can be applied to these kinds of situations? Thanks, Ryan |
Bible Answer: Ryan: That was the fastest response I have ever had from a posted note. 2 Corinthians 6:14 is the basis for Christians and the relationships we have in marriage, business, and lifes choices. However when a unborn child is involved this makes the situation much deeper to work through. Would it make a difference if the man was a Christian and the woman a unbelievre? How about the woman a believer and the man an unbeliever? As These are serious considerations that will last forever, and how we react will have an impact for life! Recerational, playboy sex is taking fire into our soul. God has a plan that makes lasting joy. But satan tempts mankind into what appears to be what will fill our needs aand give us pleasure, but only for a brief time. I hope this helps, any thoughts? Blessings Ryan. justme |
