Admin	Saving yourself for marriage. Posted : 7 Oct, 2010 01:25 PM I was wondering if anyone else out there has been "called out" for it. I have had over 10 guys message me saying that saving myself is respectful and that they are interested in me a lot, but they get discouraged when they see i'm a virgin and they are not. I just don't know how to reply...help! haha Post Reply

Posted : 9 Nov, 2010 01:55 PM http://www.christiandatingforfree.com/forum/forum_details.php?topic_id=7151&forum_sub_cat_id=9&start=0 There's a nice looooong thread on the subject also, if you've got the time. I do believe that waiting for marriage is definitely the best way, but I do take issue with people that feel like they've earned the right to marry a virgin, or that God has a virgin saved up for them. If everyone would put "virginity in a marriage partner" down as a hope/preference, just like personality/hair/build, instead of writing it in the "requirement stone", we could all get along nicely, lol. We're all forgiven Christians after all, and God lets all kinds of stuff into our lives that we would not expect. Just be open his leading and always do the right thing. I know of many, many marriages that were not "virgin", or only "half-virgin", but are successful and blessed. Acts 10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. :peace::peace: Post Reply

Posted : 24 Dec, 2010 06:47 PM You are beautifully and wonderfully made any man who is truly a Christian and has a relationship with Jesus is never going to encourage you to sin. Stay strong and know that you are now living in God's grace and keep striving to please Him because you are no longer of the world. God bless and Merry Christmas! Post Reply

Posted : 21 Jan, 2011 01:12 PM I really appriciate what you said about a virgin girl not being any "better" than one who is not but has come back to that. I myself made a mistake, but after asking God to forgive me and then forgiving myself, I have stayed pure. If God forgave and forgot, than others should too. Post Reply

Jewels133 View Profile History	Saving yourself for marriage. Posted : 13 Apr, 2011 09:38 PM There is a song by Rebecca St. James, called Wait for Me. The lyrics speak to this subject very clearly. Darling did you know that I I dream about you Waiting for the look in your eyes When we meet for the first time Darling did you know that I I pray about you Praying that you will hold on And keep your loving eyes only for me Cause,I am waiting for Praying for you darling Wait for me too Wait for me as I wait for you Cause, I am waiting for Praying for you darling Wait for me too Wait for me as I wait for you Darling wait Darling wait Darling did you know I dream about life together Knowing it will be forever I'll be yours and you'll be mine And darling when I say Till death do us part I'll mean it with all of my heart Now and always faithful to you C X1 Now I know you may have made mistakes But there's forgiveness and a second chance So wait for me Darling wait for me Wait for me wait for me C X 4 Cause, I am waiting for Praying for you darling Wait for me too Wait for me as I wait for you Part of being a Christian is accepting people, despite their past mistakes, and practicing forgiveness. I didn't grow up in a Christian home, with Christian values, so I didn't really understand the importance, or symbolism of waiting until Marriage. I have been with two people, both before accepting Christ (I happen to consider my relationships with both of those people the only two regrets I have in life, simply because I didn't wait like have now), and there has been no one since. I still plan to wait until my wedding night, no matter how long I have to wait, and if men have a problem with that, then they aren't the kind of man I want to be with anyway. I figure any man who has a problem with my past, they have no concept of redemption or forgiveness or they have no concept of respect for a lady or patience. So if the man you're interested in hasn't waited for you, forgive him, and wait for the man who is interested enough to forgive you and respect your choices now, not judge you for your past. Ideally, we would have all waited, as God designed for us in Eden, an Eve for each Adam, but we do not live in an ideal world. Post Reply

View Profile History	Saving yourself for marriage. Posted : 15 Jul, 2011 02:41 AM I have to agree with Kingliness on this one. I lost mine before I got married, and I felt so guilty because my previous marriage suffered. But by God's grace I've been forgiven and set free from the guilt. The enemy has tried to haunt me with my past, but God hasn't allowed it and neither have I. I'm waiting for marriage to ever have sex again, by choice. Post Reply
View Profile History	Saving yourself for marriage. Posted : 9 Sep, 2011 01:38 AM It is better someone save his/her self for marriage. Today our world is perverse and full of immorailty. Modernisation has lure many into sin of fornication and adultry in the name of socialization. But the word of God detest these, but many has paid deaf ears to the word of God. Seeing all these things shall come to pass, He who that is focus, let him be focus, dont say if i cant beat them i will join them!! No dont join this is the method Devil lure many into eternal damination of hell. Let your stand be "OTHERS MAY, I CANNOT." And the very God of peace shall keep your heart and soul from all troubles. YOu are blessed. Felix Post Reply
footballfan View Profile History	Saving yourself for marriage. Posted : 3 Dec, 2011 01:14 PM i am 42 years old and a virgin, and sometimes i am ashamed of this. if i put that i am a virgin in my profile, i do not think a lot of women would believe me. i have never been married. i did also desire that my future wife be a virgin also, but JESUS has opened my heart. society, tv, and all media make it shameful to be a virgin. i cannot watch a sporting event or anything on tv without a commercial or a advertisment for a tv show about sex. there is a great book out for all men, and i would like for all the ladies to read it also, called everymans battle. it is about sexual purity, and what every man struggles with daily. the workbook also helps. another great book is boundaries in dating, by dr cloud and dr townsend. the workbook is also great. a lot of times, when i get very very lonely and heartbroken, which i am now, i wish i could have a one night stand, but i know that would not be right. i do not like the holidays, because i never ever had a date or a girlfriend around my birthday, thanksgiving, christmas, and new years eve. i wish i had a woman to kiss on the lips at midnight on new years eve. man i am sooo very lonely and very heart broken. please pray for me. thank you everyone.
