I know several Catholics (both men and women) that most definitely or definitely had and are having premarital sex. They are straight. I asked a few when discussing sins to see what they thought about it and they said stuff like "well... as long as you don't do it in excess or become addicted to...

"She maintains that only goodness was created by God, but because all things must have an opposite, then badness was created too, without any exercise on His part." I know many people agree with that idea but it does not make sense to me. I can not understand how God can be almighty and still...

These are two questions I've always wondered about, especially since I've heard different answers to them. I wonder if, after asking God for forgiveness, He will personally make sure we still suffer some form of punishment while we are still alive on Earth. I also wonder if asking for...

Idk about other places but I thought people really didn't think of Halloween as a devil worship thing or even as a pagan thing nowadays. It's just a day people use as an excuse to wear a costume. Is that really wrong? I think Halloween is harmless, not celebrating it does not make someone a...

I think it's okay. I don't think of it as a political thing but as a way to make life more bearable to some people. Transgender issues are real issues, transgender people have very high suicide rates. I feel like many people oppose the idea of genderless pronouns because it's a way to be in...

I assumed that was the point that user was trying to make, yes (despite the fact that we all know this is a deeper and bigger issue than just "embarrasment"). Idk about that user but I've seen it in other places that people suggest using "embarrasment" as a way to gauge if something is a sin.

I wasn't trying to argument when I asked that, I was just asking a question... I see that many Christians on the internet speak against masturbation but they conveniently avoid talking about whether they touch themselves or not. That doesn't really help. I don't mean it in the sense of an...

To be honest I don't find that embarrassing. I can't *see* God, I don't know what he looks like or what facial expression He would be making (I'm speaking metaphorically here of course). If a friend of mine that I know in real life accidentally caught me masturbating we would probably just laugh...

This is something I've always wondered: What are the actual ethics of lying, from a Christian perspective? For example when someone asks you for your opinion and you know the honest answer would hurt them. Or when you are flirting with someone and you exaggerate a bit or pretend to be more...

What makes something "in the glory of God", I mean how do you do something mundane like eating or drinking "in the glory of God"?

I guess it's because I take some coincidences happening in my life as being God telling me He's present there. I don't know if there's anything Biblical to support this though. And also because the friend I care about the most, currently, is very Christian. If it weren't for her I think my faith...

@ Mskriskris Replying to post #73 It's just a go to for me because it's the one thing that works. Otherwise it's like asking "why do you drink water when you are thirsty?". Yes, obviously it's to release stress and please myself. I think the only reason I "feel bad" about it is because I don't...

I see. But what is the Biblical definition for "sex", specifically? And are lustful thoughts the same as the act of sex itself (judging by what Jesus said about adultery when you look at a woman lustfully)? And what if a person can touch without thinking about a woman (or a man, though idk...

But what makes it a sin exactly? Or what specific proof is there that it IS a sin? God sees people have sex too.

But how are we failing to love our neighbour by masturbating? It's an act that doesn't affect our neighbour since it's done in private (unless it isn't, of course). Or do you mean we have to love our neighbour through every single act we do? Because that sounds impossible.
