Bible Question:
know any good verses about men and women sleeping in the same house together (not sexual, just sleeping :) or just in general about being alone together? i'm trying to decide logically why i'm old fashioned...a situation came up recently where a friend was wanting to spend alone time with a gal (they are just friends and both strong christians), sleeping overnight and alone in the house/etc. it just didn't sit well with my gut instinct...any biblical thoughts on this? |
Bible Answer: conn88h, Greetings and welcome to the forum.This seems to have been somewhat of a topic over the last week or so.My friend take it from a brother who made these mistakes in his younger days.Dont get me wrong anyone of any age can get lured into this kind of a situation. Knowone is immune to this kind of thing.It's just not worth it to put ones self in harms way.Once we compromise this part of our life we can never go back.Thank God for his grace though,we can start over again,God wipes the slate clean when we repent and come to Him with a humble heart. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 is quite apropo here. Wouldnt it be simpler (not easier) to trust God and abide by his Word. We gotta believe God has our best interest at heart.Romans 8:28,29 Jerimiah 29:11. Not a bad deal wouldnt ya say. So the now we gotta ask ourselves is what are we his sons and daughters going to settle for? Do we make Gods Word the standard by which we live or will we take the easy way out? In Christ, lionheart |
