Devotedlove47^ View Profile History	Virgin Posted : 15 Jan, 2012 06:21 AM Dear liz kulet Grace to you in Jesus name!! I think before you react to the correction of the Lord in anger, You should get a clear Biblical understanding of what Jesus meant when he said "Judge not" as opposed to " judging righteous judgement". Many believers have developed a false understanding in this area, thinking that Jesus was instructing the saints not to discern and give Godly instructions the body of Christ. This concept is false. In fact, the concept Jesus was referring to, was judging a situation based on human perception and emotion, like what you are doing to us now. You have been hurt by words of chastisement which were posted here my dear sister, and so you are speaking out of that hurt. I will therefore remind you that: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives. If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not? But if you be without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then are you illegitimate children, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them who are trained by it. Therefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Hebrews 12:5-13 SELAH Post Reply
View Profile History	Virgin Posted : 15 Jan, 2012 06:34 AM I agree with Liz. I think it's tacky to mention early in a relationship or before a relationship, but to call it "promiscuous" doesn't really demonstrate an understanding of the word "promiscuous." It's more a social error in that one doesn't understand one doesn't need to reveal details about one's sex life at that stage in the process - and neither should details about a myriad of preferences, dealbreakers or not. It ruins the process of getting to know someone. It's similar to declaring your political beliefs up front in exhaustive detail and then only accepting people who agree. It leaves no room for an actual relationship. Obviously there are times when these things can cause two people to be completely incompatible, but that will be apparent soon enough. Post Reply
View Profile History	Virgin Posted : 15 Jan, 2012 06:36 AM Devotedlove, your comment really added nothing to the conversation. I don't think that elaborate, religious language-laden narratives directed at individual people are beneficial. Also, you are not the voice of God, and the message you are sharing isn't God's message. It's your own, made to make yourself look pious and spiritual. Please stop, and leave Liz alone. She has good insights and things to say and doesn't need to put up with your religious bullying and rhetoric. Post Reply
Devotedlove47^ View Profile History	Virgin Posted : 15 Jan, 2012 07:23 AM Dear godsgirl123 God's grace to you in Jesus name! Again, whatever controversies you may have with the Lord, his word, or His people, I am truly praying that he will bring you the healing and deliverance needed to be real with yourself and others. If you are truly "godsgirl", then show Him more respect reverance than you are now. You are embarrassing Him, yourself, and the spiritual family of God here. Do not be presumptuous (defiant), and put the Lord God to the test. Peace to you dear child in Jesus name!! Food for thought: If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, �It is mine to avenge; I will repay,� and again, �The Lord will judge his people.� It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Devotedlove47^ View Profile History	Virgin Posted : 15 Jan, 2012 09:00 AM Dear GenuineBeauty Grace to you in Jesus!! In your original post, you asked: Why is being a virgin a turn-off for most men? Seeing that "most men" are unrighteous, and prefer sex outside of marriage, and that most " christian and non-christian women" have this common understanding about " most men", my question to you is as follows: Did you really not know the answer to that question before you asked it? If so, what kind of conversation were you seeking to start? I ask this because you displayed obvious knowledge of God's creation and purpose for marriage and virginity, when you said: "I believe that sex was created by God to be enjoyed within marriage, not with every person you date."

View Profile History	Virgin Posted : 15 Jan, 2012 04:20 PM Your posts make absolutely no sense, and as for being presumptious, it is EXTREMELY presumptious to assume that because someone disagrees with you, they must not be a Christian and have something against the church. I am a Christian and your accusations are baseless and wrong. Stop moralizing and posting out of context Scripture to make yourself look holy. My disagreement is not with Scripture, but with your abuse of Scripture, and your incessant need to judge anyone who disagrees with you and make their differing viewpoint into a spiritual flaw. You are not God. You are not privy to some secret knowledge of God or His word, and God is not on anyone's SIDE. Either stand by your claims as a man on your own or don't make them. The Scriptures were not created to support your opinion in an internet forum, and it's borderline blasphemous to use them in such a way. Post Reply

Devotedlove47^ View Profile History	Virgin Posted : 16 Jan, 2012 05:36 AM It is not necessary. I am not confused as to how GenuineBeauty used it. I used it the way she used it in her original post. I was hoping that she would return and speak on the matter, but since she has not returned, I will not discuss the matter any further. Take care God Bless Post Reply
