Seriously a save sex for marriage thread? This is 2013 right not 1913. I don't see any particular value to saving sex for marriage. I have been married 10 years now and sex is a small component of a long term relationship, paying bills and raising kids takes way more of our time. Sex is good, marriage is good, no need to wait for marriage to enjoy the former.
As a species we suck at monogamy, We used to conduct a few basic lab exercises in first year biology like blood typing and comparing that to peoples parents and looking at the inheritance of the ABO types people had. it is not done any more because every single year multiple students found out that their father was not who they thought it was. If we did the same with DNA about 25% of the students would find out that their daddy is not their 'real' daddy.
Enjoy sex, enjoy marriage, if you are not enjoying either you are doing something wrong. And using a poorly translated 2 thousand year old text to justify your decisions? Have you read that thing?

For the record, I say what I say because I know he exists. I also say it because the teachings make sense in avoiding evil actions. (ie Don't obessively think sexually about the opposite sex) I also say what I say based off results on myself and others. I want that to be remembered.
Also, I mentioned a scene where Jesus whiped manipulative merchants that were tricking poor people. That clearly showed that the God does not approve of manipulating people for power. Yet, you couldn't accept that. I might understand how other things I've said are harder for you to accept but not that one. Anyways...
I guess we're done here. I'll see you around
All gaming systems, consoles/PC, have thier perks... why fight over preferences? I like Coke and you like Pepsi, that's it, let's not fight over which toy we like best cause that's what they are. Is someone's preference in a toy important or is the relationship between you and your neighbor more important? Answer is obvious, but THE most important thing is your relationship with God almighty. God Bless you in Jesus's name.
I can communicate without talking... I can send a loved one money without actually sending money... and I can commit theft without the product disappearing, the point of theft is the point of theft not one of it's possible symptoms which is the product dissappearing. The thief wants to gain something without paying for it, that's the point of theft, the thief doesn't have to care or anybody else has to care if the product dissappears. The product dissappearing is just a possible symptom of theft. Gifts are sacrfices, in order to give a gift, it has to be a genuine sacrfice/gift, meaning a copy of the game isn't still in your PC. Piracy is theft and/or being a culprit of theft.

Well, after praying for a vision so God can prove himself and then getting a vision... yes I'd justify myself with a God that exists. A God that says to only to the right thing and nothing else but the right thing.
As for the versions that have mistranslations, well who's mistakes were they? Not God's eh?

All of those things are at an all time high actually. Purely because before 1800 there were less than a billion people on the planet, and the rates were never historically six times higher than now. |
Read Dangerous times by Christopher J. Fettweis.
Just the fact that there are so many more people makes your argument invalid. More people increases the number of anything. But per capita there are fewer murders, fewer rapes, fewer people starving etc.
I just seems that things are worse because we have such unfettered access to news and information. When was the last Pol Pot, or Hitler or Stalin or a war where there have been as many casualties of the entire conflict compared to WW1-2 or even Korea or Vietnam? When was the last plague? What is the number one health problem starvation or obesity (there are even obese people in the porrest of poor countries). As I said it isnt perfect it never will be but it really is a safer world than it has ever been at any other point in history. Especially the 1800s when the life expectancy was less than 50 years old in the best of places.

I wasn't being serious. Just pointing out a literal false statement.

If it makes you happy, have fun with that. Follow it to your heart's content. Just don't expect the rest of us to, or expect others to believe in your 'visions' as evidence of devine truth.
Wow, people are passionate. (about their views)
Besides being a Christian, I'm saving myself in hope that my future wife will do the same. I don't want to have sex with someone and have the slightest concern that she's thinking of some past lover while we're doing it. It's more meaningful and goes beyond the physical pleasure when we wait.

I have a question for you OP, based on your believes in general.
Looking at your profile, I see you mention RTS, FPS and Fighting as your favourite genres in gaming (as well as RPGs). As a servant of this GOD you speak of, how can you enjoy genres games that pretty much all 'glorify' violence, killing, murder and war? Have not GOD taught you that 'thou shall not kill'? How does GOD feel about this? Would not all this virtual violence be compared to 'engaging in adultery with their hearts' in GOD's eyes? I know for sure that if I was GOD, I would be heavily disappointed in you and banish you from Heaven and send you to the pits of hell!
But as any religious person I have met, I guess you are just being selective with your believes, and follow only what suits YOU (i.e being selfish) and being a complete hypocrite.
Also, I will share you something about my experience with GOD, and hopefully I will not get banned from the Heavens of VGChartz for this:
A couple of years back, I was plagued with heavy bowel obstruction. For months, I could simply not get the stool to pass... Then one day, while sitting on the toilet, pushing for hours, I thought to myself: "This has been going on for such a long time, and I cannot seem to get rid of it. I have tried numerous doctors, but nothing has worked... It is now time for me to turn to GOD for advice". So closed my eyes, and folded my hands in prayer: "Dear GOD. I have never done you any wrong, and still you have given me such hardships. If you will let me pass this stool in peace, I will forever live as your servant". Suddenly, dark clouds gathered outside my bathroom window, followed by a bright clear sky. Then I heard a deep voice speak: "My child, fear not. I have heard your prayers and I will appear before you". Suddenly, I felt some kind of sensation in my intestines, and from my anus, rivers of stool flowed. I had never witnessed anything like this before in my life, and I immediately embraced this an act of GOD.
From that day, I have unconditionally been a follower of GOD.
