AMPLIFIED 2015 | Philippians 4:8 ¶ Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God's word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]. |
Subject: How do u stay pure but have pleasure |
Bible Note: Good answer, however this type of question is completely legit...and something that I imagine a lot of people wonder about.. It's a shame that people cannot talk about this openly, with class, and give someone a sensible answer...no one here needs more guilt...we live in an repressed society as "Christians" as it is... Some of the stuff people gave my sister and brother-in-law when they got married, had me rolling on the floor. You are reasonably limited in sex to anatomy and physics....as well as the Bible... When they are talking about the Bretheren, they are talking about people in a fellowship...what you should be focused on say at a church function...never mind who's wearing what, who's doing what ... blah blah blah..instead of stupidity, concentrate on the good in others, seek things that are pure, lovely, loving and honest to speak about with fellow Believers...this has NOTHING to do with sex and a marriage relationship...if you are single, I think things may pretty well take care of themselves...in your sleep. Don't worry ... God made as we are...He knows about sex, the Bible says He was tempted in all things common to man...do you think he was never tempted? He was half man... Talk to a doctor, talk to a woman who looks delirious in her marriage..skip the ones who look like they haven't done it in years... If you want to find a map, you go to a map book..not a recipe book.. Hope this helps. J |
