Subject: 'virgin' after oral sex (not intercourse |
Bible Note: I'd like to add Ephesians 5:3 and I like the way the NIV puts it. "There must not be even a hint of sexual impurity or of any kind of impurity or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people." Not even a hint. So yea by webster's standards you could use the 4th defination and say that you are because you have not had intercourse, BUT if you look at the 3rd defination it says "an absolutely chaste young woman" chaste means "innocent of unlawful sexual intercourse" but it also means "pure in thought and act" And there is where Ephesians 5:3 and 1 Cor 6:18 and any verse that any previous post gave you comes in. And although oral sex reduces the risk of pregnancy it does not protect you from STDS. I would also ask yourself, if Jesus was standing in the room with you would you still have oral sex? Because He sees what is done in secret as if it is done in the open, what is done in darkness as if it is light. Everyone will be judged according to what they have done. see Revelation 20:13 Psalm 139:11-12 AMP If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me and the night shall be [the only] light about me, Even the darkness hides nothing from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You. Facing sexual temptation is not easy. I know and I regret so much. From a person that has been there. I would beg you not to keep your mind focused on the question if you are a virgin or not but to meditate on what immorality is and what way is proper for a child of God to act. And don't say to yourself (like I did) that you are not good enough or not loved if you don't have oral sex or intercourse because there is a guy out there that will wait until your wedding night and accept you even if you are not a virgin. for His glory, Joanna :) |
