IamIsabel View Profile History	Are there any pure Christian men out there? Posted : 1 Jul, 2012 08:44 PM I am feeling a little disappointed gentlemen. I have dated a lot all these years and can honetly say I've dated maybe five Christian men who did not try to persuade me to have sex. If you are a man who believes in staying pure until marriage please leave a note. I just want to know if any exist. Feel free to share where you get your strength if you care to. Post Reply
View Profile History	Are there any pure Christian men out there? Posted : 4 Jul, 2012 07:45 AM I have exercised the protection of the purity of the women I have been romantically involved in. Because I see ladies as my sisters in Christ and glorious vessels the spirit in me helps me to be the gentleman a woman needs me to be. As a man I am secure and my security reflects on my attitude toward a woman and her physical frame. I dont need to seal the deal with sex. Post Reply

jz4jfministries View Profile History	Are there any pure Christian men out there? Posted : 4 Jul, 2012 01:18 PM I am one who believes of being pure until I get married. But I got to tell you that i think it is hard for most guys as our hormons get control of our hearts easily. As for myself, I just finished a two year diploma at a college that I would call very secular school. Over this time I do have numours chances to sleep and have sex with girls. But the few things that gave me strength to get out of those situations. Was the fact of my strong faith in Christ, that he is above all things and its through Christ who strengths me, through tough times and choices. I also was active in a church I went to over those two years and my love for minsitry and my want of being there for these grade 5, 6, 7 & 8 students every friday night, put a desire in my heart that made me focus on the kids, rather than other urges. (Translation) Our what we need to crave is our relationship with God, as he is the only one that can make sure complete. My last idea for us guys would just keep yourself busy, the busier I am the more happier and focus I seem to be, the more contempt I feel of where God currently has me. But when I get bored and have time on my hands at least for me I get a little bit depressed, which makes me vulnerable, which can lead to me doinig stupid things. Hope this helps! Jeff Post Reply

Posted : 4 Jul, 2012 01:44 PM Thank you, LetThisMind, I thought Elizabeth Swann was one of the coolest Pirates of the Caribbean characters. @jz4jfministries, That's really wonderful, jz. Awesome testimony. It's true what they say, all the good ones are either married or living in Canada! Post Reply
OhZone View Profile History	Are there any pure Christian men out there? Posted : 4 Jul, 2012 06:37 PM I'll be the odd man out here. I won't say I get my strength to abstain from God, but from respect. My mom taught me to respect other people--especially women. I have lost numerous girlfriends because I wasn't more aggressive. In fact, I spent most of my 20s following the rule of "no physical contact til the 3rd date" and that ended up sending the message to these women that I was not interested. I never got 2nd dates. It was also hard to watch all the rude, disrespectful guys and their hot girlfriends. But all I ever got were these women crying on my shoulder about what a lousy guy their BF was, and how they wished their BF was more like me! Grr. So, I spent a few years with a relaxed standard and letting my relationships go wherever the woman wanted but without being aggressive myself: Just going with the flow. I wish I had not done this--I have a few years I'm not proud of, and it ended up in marrying the wrong woman (sex confuses the brain) and consequent divorce. However, I am in a different place now and have been celibate since 2009 (not long for most of you, I know). I don't have a problem respecting women. We can cuddle and hold hands or even fall asleep together without any risk of having sex, but I'd rather not get involved with kissing too soon since that can turn me on pretty quick. O3 Post Reply
View Profile History	Are there any pure Christian men out there? Posted : 4 Jul, 2012 07:53 PM While I personally agree that many men, including "so called" Christians or the luke warm are seeking sex even when they say they are not, I must say that I too have encountered quite a number of females who "felt" a connection with me and wanted to make out, yet I'm not big on all that so the relationship didn't progress. I think what happens is that people are seeking to be filled and they are empty, they live for self rather then for God. They confuse lust with love... Others, have been hurt often or in the waiting for so long that they can't hold on anymore and just keep falling... Now, as for me.. I just want to live pure and find a girl that has the same views on purity. Life is too precious to throw around and offer it to any random individual, like its some worthless piece of meat.... sex and people are sacred to me... and even if they don't value themselves, I do, thus I have remained abstinent since I met Christ; If I can do it so can everyone else, with God all things are possible. I am no longer driven by selfish desires, rather by holiness and purity.... of course that is all part of the process of renewing the mind and being transformed. I don't know what else to say other than stay encouraged and know that you are not alone.. Post Reply

IamIsabel View Profile History	Are there any pure Christian men out there? Posted : 7 Jul, 2012 09:35 AM Thanks Jeff. When people ask me if I get lonely or how do I do it. I tell them the same as you. When I stay busy it keeps my mind occupied on other things. Besides, it's easy to stay pure if I'm not dating someone. I tell you it is a big turn off for me when I guy pressures me for sex. I understand the desires God has given us but to blantantly give in to it turns me completely off and I usually end the relationship. Post Reply
IamIsabel View Profile History	Are there any pure Christian men out there? Posted : 7 Jul, 2012 09:45 AM Oh Zone, I appreciate the honesty. None of us were born pure. The reason Jesus came is to save people from these sins. If it were not for sin in our life Jesus would not have been born. I'm not glorifying sin but aware that we all have it in our lives. All you men are giving me encouragement. Sometimes I do feel alone. I have read that Christians are just as sexually involved as the non-Christians. The divorce rate is comparable to the rest of the population as well. We've got to do better even if we are the alone. We are the remnant of God. Post Reply
casperuu View Profile History	Are there any pure Christian men out there? Posted : 7 Jul, 2012 03:20 PM I once heard a sermon on premarital sex that stuck with me. The gist of it was that God designed and created love, sex, and marriage. He knows how it all works. Why would He tell us to stay away from sex outside of marriage? To test us or to keep us from having fun? No. He wants only the best for us. His instructions are to help us use this wonderful part of His creation in the way He designed it, to give us that "best"... My belief in God and His goodness is what helps me look at His Word as loving instructions; not barriers. Post Reply
