    Lust?

    See, this is why I'm confused...I think even when I'm married I'll know if someone is attractive. I don't think this is wrong. However, I feel more than "Oh, he's attractive" for my fiance. I do think about him in a more sexually intimate way. Of course, this isn't the only way I think of him...

    Lust?

    I agree with weasel in that I think several posters have confused lust with sexual attraction. My question is not whether or not lustful thoughts/feelings, even for my SO are right. God says lust is a sin, no exceptions. My question is at what point does sexual attraction become lust?

    Lust?

    Thank you for posting. Is it lustful to think about being intimate with your fiance on your wedding night?

    Illegal Marriage?

    Thank you all for your support. Sometimes I feel so weak in my faith. God always provides, yet I worry so much. Anyway, not getting into too much detail, my helpers help me with my activities of daily living, like dressing, eating, etc. They help me with such activities at school and work. While...

    Illegal Marriage?

    We've gotten that a lot. We spent a little over a year praying and strongly believe this is where God wants us to go at this time. It is for this reason, and our faith, that we know God will provide. We will both be in school for at least 5 more years.

    Illegal Marriage?

    The government is really messed up. Gods4me is right, the gov does provide more support for single people. My fiance would not be able to pay for my personal care workers because it's very expensive. He will be helping me pay for school, as well as paying for his own schooling and we'll be...

    Lust?

    I know it is wrong to have lustful thoughts. However, I do think it's important to talk about sex with your SO before getting married. It's important IMO to think about your sexual compatibility with your fiance. What do you think? Is this sinful? At what point is this lust?

    Illegal Marriage?

    We would be living together, but would look more like room mates in the government's eyes. Even writing this out sounds bad. Like I mentioned before, I think family pressure was just getting to me. There is a way I can keep my benefits, but it is still based on income, or lack thereof. Plus we...

    Illegal Marriage?

    I knew this from the start and I trust God and my fiance to provide. I am the only Christian in my family and some times my mother gets to me. Thank you both for responding.

    I also posted this in another forum.....

    I don't think there is anything wrong with not having children, nor do I think it's selfish. Though many people believe that when the Lord said, "Go forth and multiply" He meant have children, I think it means more than that. I think it is possible that He meant we should multiply the number of...

    Illegal Marriage?

    I guess I should start out by saying that I am physically disabled. I have been engaged to my fiance fot over a year now. We are planning to get married in July. From the start his mother had some issues with us being engaged, further more getting married. Though she still doesn't like the idea...

    Engagement and Doubt

    I just want to suggest a series of books that have inspired me to grow in respect for my fiance, myself, and to trust more in God's work. It's the Mark of the Lion trilogy by Francine Rivers. The relationships in the series are truly encouraging.

    Ever feel left out, as a Gentile?

    God tells us that this is the time of the Gentiles. Even in the time of the exodus, God allowed foreigners to join follow Moses as long as they followed God's law, which at the time included male circumcision. Anyway, we are all equal under the eyes of Christ.

    Are We Really For One Another??

    First, it is no one's place to judge the heart of another. When discussing topics, especially with other believers, it is important to remember that we are all united in seeking and understanding truth. The term argument has such a negative connotation. However, having a debate sounds more...

    I would say it's more of a maturity thing, but generally it begins at around 12 or 13 and ends at about 17-19 for most. Ok, this is 3 questions in one...Do you have a nickname and if so, what is it and how did you get it?

    The Dawn of the Crimson Sun

    I was surprised at Logan's enthusiasm. I couldn't help thinking that men are so norrow-minded. "This isn't good news here!" I stood up and started pacing, feeling my blood begin to boil. "These creatures are making us inhuman! By that very thing, they are diverging from God's plan. Nowhere in...

    Memes, Memeplexes and the Search for Truth

    First I'll start out by hypothetically accepting that a meme is a virus. The connotation of the term virus is a negative one. However, not everything that is infectious is bad. In fact the phrase "he/she has an infectious laugh" is used to describe a positive attribute. Memes, like viruses...
