im just wondering. i know sumone who might have pre marital sex and im worried that he will. he always told me he wouldnt go that far in his relationship, that he was gonna wait till he got married but now he isnt sure wat hes gonna do until the moment comes wen hes in the situation. hes been christian all his life and yet he still isnt sure of wat hes going to do. im not sure wat i should tell him. i know that fornicators will have no part in heaven but i dont wanna say it like that to him. even tho i should. any ideas on wat advice i could give him?
Well, considering that I didn't wait until marriage I don't think I should be the one to give you advice, I guess I'm also not going to heaven, according to you.
Personally, it's his life and he has a right to make his own decisions. You have a right to your beliefs, even though I don't agree, and yes, I do believe in God, just not a God that is vindictive, hateful and unforgiving.
What you do with your life and your body is up to you, you have no say as to what he does with his.
well actually its not according to me that you will not go to heaven, i have no say in that. its according to the bible.
1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
i know that i have no say in what he does, but hes a really good friend of mine and i dont want him to do something that he will regret.
It's true that no sin will enter heaven, and therefore any sinner you mentioned in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 will not go to heaven unless they have been forgiven. But thank God for the Son!! Jesus died so that we may receive forgiveness for ALL sins including fornication.
This doesn't by any means give your friend justification to have sex before marriage, but to say he will go to hell if he does is not very accurate for two reasons...One is what I mentioned before...God is a forgiving God and will forgive all sins if asked from a sincere heart. Two, we are in no place to tell anyone they will go to hell. God is the just judge and He will be the one to put us in our place be it hell or heaven.
With that said, there is no harm in reminding your friend that fornication is a sin. There is no harm in talking to him about the good Lord, the Lord He asks to forgive him, the good Lord who freely gives the gift of Salvation. Rather than tell him he is going to hell if he goes through with this temptation, tell him to pray to God for the strenth to turn away from this temptation. Most of all you as his friend should pray hard to God to give him the strength to turn away from the temptation.
You are completly misreading what God is saying there... everyone sins, having sex b4 marriage is a sin just as im sure you lie and that's a sin also, if you're christian then you know that jesus forgives he removes that the barrier from you and God and he reads your heart.. I am sorry but I am struggling with the having sex before marriage thing and I have felt my guilts and im batteling with my demons, but that totally offended me by saying that this man will go to hell... You sin i can guarantee it and Jesus FORGIVES!!!!
Guaranteed if you tell this man that you think he will go to hell for it, he will be very very offended and it will not get your point across.. maybe you should look within yourself before you judge others.
This letter to the Corinthians was written to a church living in a city where Venus was the principal Deity of Corinth, her Temple was on o the most magnificnent buidlings in the city. In it a 1000 Priestesses, Public Prositutes were kept at public expens, there always rady for immoral indulugence as a worship to thier god. The early christians who had lived this life style thier entire life were having a hard time adapting to the new religion which prohibited immoral living.
So Paul here is equaling out from his previous comments that all things are lawful. So they are being told that even though he said all things were lawful, he had not ever intended to include all such immoral acts.
So we have to put in context that they were first not viewing the actions as sin, and were not trying to be repentent.
So is it a sin, yes, but the great news first they are not doing it to worship ( well hope they are not) and that they can be forgiven if they do sin if they repent of thier sin.
You know it is not right ...he knows it is not right...his partner probably knows it is not right...most posts here have concurred....so what's the quandry? Tell him YOU don't think it is right and let him make his own decision.
On second thought, did he ask you for your opinion?
