I think It’s not healthy mentality, physically, emotionally or spiritually to have sexual relations with multiple partners. Its a toxic lifestyle and It’s not good for people in the long run.
I hear your claim Jagne, now please show that you speak the truth otherwise you might as well be yelling at us that the world is flat.
Well,
Let’s be honest here, not everyone gets tested. Wasn’t the AIDS epidemic a pretty good warning back in the day? And keep in mind: if people didn’t fool around and pass around transmitted deceases, then we wouldn’t need tests.
This shows a general lack of knowledge about STDs. I know it is confusing, because 'sexually, is in the name, but regardless, many are transmitted without sexual intercourse.
This is a no-brainer. If we refrain from sex outside of marriage, we will be protected from the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
And here readers, is great example of the problem with getting information from priests and pastors. Certainly such poor info does not come about from reading a medical journal.
One reason God tells us to keep the marriage bed pure relates to baggage. We carry baggage into our sexual relationships.
Really? Tell me, how much baggage did your previous sexual relationships bring in to your marriage bed?
I did not notice this baggage you speak of myself. Why do you think that is?
Past memories, emotional scars, and unwanted mental images can defile our thoughts, making the marriage bed less than pure.
How do you tell the difference between a pure marriage bed and one that is not pure?
Certainly, God can forgive the past, but that doesn't immediately free us from lingering mental and emotional baggage.
Not sure which god you are referring to, but I'm not aware of any god concept that has ever freed a person from, well... anything. Please provide examples that would show your claim to be accurate and not just some empty claim preached from the pulpit.
And regarding maturity,
there are consequences to sin. Its effects can be devastating.
I know your new, but please keep in mind that preaching is against the rules.
An unwanted pregnancy, a decision to have an abortion or place a child for adoption, broken relationships with family—these are just a few of the possible outcomes we could face when we have sex outside of marriage.
Why did you leave out finding out that you (generic) and your partner are sexual compatible before you decided to enter into a marriage agreement? Pointing to some possible negative effects do not make the positive effects go away.
Consider the snowball effect of sin. And what if the relationship does not last?
You mean like a marriage that doesn't last because the two are not sexually compatible?
Sin hinders our lives and easily entangles us. We are better off to avoid sin's negative consequences.
More preaching. It would be great if you could abide by the rules you agreed to when you signed up here. Consider... what would Jesus do perhaps?
Morality is not subjective. It’s not up to the individual to decide by personal preference, what is moral and what is immoral. That said, If we put concerns for our partner's needs and spiritual well-being above our own, we'll be compelled to wait for sex. We, like God, will want what's best for them. That is morality correct. When we choose to have sex outside of marriage, we settle for less than God's perfect will—for ourselves and our partner. We may live to regret it.
More preaching. Oh hum...
Here's food for thought: If your partner wants sex before marriage, consider this a warning sign of his or her spiritual condition. If you are the one who wants sex before marriage, consider this an indicator of your own spiritual condition.
And some food for thought for you. We are biological beings that reproduce via sexual reproduction. Encourage suppressing this at your own risk. See the Catholic church.
