When would it become sinful? When you start imagining fantasies with sexual content?

I can't really work with those definitions. Let's say I sit in a cafe and there is a totally hot waitress and I see her walk around and then think about how great it would be to touch those gorgeous breasts and so on then I'm not out making plans to stalk her or to kidnap her and then perform...

Hi, but how can you be a christian and not read in the bible? From what most christians say this isn't possible or at least you cannot grow this way. It's very frustrating for me that reading the bible doesn't bring me joy and fulfillment. It's a very personal issue when you're a christian and...

I don't know if the argument that puberty causes people to be attracted to each other and to think about sex and that since God created puberty then this means that everything people do after puberty is okay is really that convincing. I mean we are fallen beings. Nobody of us knows how puberty...

I am not talking about children disobeying their parents I am talking about christians enforcing their views on other christians and saying that they must not listen to metal or watch action movies or whatever. I am simply sick of this whole stuff. If God personally made it clear that those...

But how do you know if when you feel guilty about something it's the HS and not just obsessive worrying? So it's wrong when christians teach that christians must not go to a disco or to a cinema because this is what the world does? Not quite. My problem is I can't imagine what's allowed and...

@ jaws13 I do not know how to get closer to God, okay? I don't even know if the stuff which other christians claim to have is real or delusional. I tried to get zapped by God and hear him and all that stuff and none of it worked. I went to ministers for prayer and thought that God would slay me...

I don't think I can or want to accept the opinion of ministries or pastors anymore. I can't stand it when somebody tells me what to do and what not to do especially when it's not even sure they really are right. It's often said christianity isn't about rules but that'e exactly what it is. Rules...

hi, just a short note. I'll reply to the posts tomorrow.

@ If not for grace It's not just dos and donts. Also advice like "you simply need more intimacy with God and then you overcome temptation" isnt really helpful. What if you simply dont know how to get this intimacy? What if you have been like me trying for years to get a breakthrough and somehow...

I can't really imagine what you mean why don't you give clear examples this way it'll be much easier. Let's say you see a totally hot woman in the mall and this makes you feel a desire for her because she looks so unbelievably good and everything is so well shaped that it's already upsetting...

But how do you know if God's jealous of something or not? For me it has always been like when I had something which I really liked then I feared that this could be an idol and I thought that the only way to really find out wether it is an idol is giving it up because otherwise I can't know if...

I guess thinking that thinking about sex is a sin is easy because when the bible condemns lust then one usually links lust to sex. I simply can't imagine that thinking about sex is okay in God's eyes. This what the world does. Do you know the Korn song "all day I think about sex"? That's what...

That even our thoughts matter to God becomes clear from Jesus talking about hating somebody being like murder in your heart or lusting after a woman being adultery in the heart. The thoughts do matter and not just what you do. I think you agree with me on this one right?

I'd say because the bible says we shall think about holy things and pure things now if I imagine having sex with a person without being married to her then this isn't allowed or at least this is how christians tell it. If you're married you can fantasize about the wife but if you're not married...

Hello, the reason I made this thread is because I find it hard to tell wether God would approve something or what God thinks about things. For example if you're in the supermarket then do you only buy basic stuff which is needed for survival or do you also buy things which are not really...

I don't know but your definition of lust doesn't make much sense to me. I mean I can easily look at a girl and then imagine doing sexual stuff with her without at the same time thinking "I'm gonna kidnap her". What do you mean with doing something about it? I really cannot imagine that the bible...

Eating till you're full is not gluttony. I am talking about eating till you notice you're not hungry anymore. You can either do that or you can stop when you're still hungry and that would be not eating till you're full. Imagine you can eat 2 sandwiches and then your stomach signals your brain...

I don't understand how that's supposed to help. :confused: I simply can't really imagine or tell how one's supposed to live as a good christian. I can imagine that you'd live a certain way but what if this isn't the right way? The bible says we shall be heavenly minded and not earthly minded...

But I have prayed about these things many times but there is simply no change. Are you saying this is normal? Great, then all you can do as a christian is pray the same prayers all the time and pity yourself. I'm so tired of this. The stuff the bible says christians should have simply aren't a...
