How important is it to date/marry a lady who is sexually pure?
Posted : 11 Nov, 2012 01:49 PM

I'm not talking about virgins but those who practice celebacy before marriage. So for a divorced lady it would mean she would not be sexually active until she marrys agan.

1Cr 7:2 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband



All great sctiptures but not the solution to the problem of fornication. It just will turn into adultry from fornication without this one thing.



Repentence.



It is at our core that we are guilty sinners and all prone toward fornication and adultry.



Our wills are bent toward sin and rebellion and we can not confront any issue of sin with our wills intact. We must surrender our wills and surrender our hearts and confess our trabsgressions before a forgiving God.



So that we find forgiveness when we ask genuinly and specifically and become renewed in our thinking through the Spirit of God.



Allowing Him to transform our mortal bodies into glorious vessles for His glory walking in obedience not by will but by His Spirit.





Praise God for his work in our mortal flesh!





Michael

The Past is the Past. I focus on how much a lady is working on being who they are in Christ. We all have sinned and we most likely will sin again but how much we focus on our identity and personal relationship with God is going to be what keeps us pure in God's eyes. I don't let the past determine who a person is now. Now if they continue living that kind of lifestyle or try and convince me that it is ok well then we have a problem.

At my age it is not likely or realistic and because I am divorced demanding such a thing would be hypocritical. For people marrying the first time I would recommend keeping your vows and connection with a like minded person... Equally yoked is so very important and so is respecting your body and your mates body.



Personally I have some guidelines:



1. More than 1 kid out of wedlock = no. We all make mistakes but I have no room for repeated bad behavior.



2. Divorced with more than one kid at home. If the children are grown and they waited for divorce I am good with that for the same reason.



3. Widowed. It does not matter



Obviously my rules are for me and my circumstance and other people will have their reasoning which is fine as long as it is logical and lines up with the word.
