Are you living a pure life?

[historyincognito]

I know this is hard but are you trying to live a pure life?

 

[Galatea]

Yes, I try. My thought life is not as pure as it ought to be or as it once was. My actions are pure, though.

[dayhiker]

Yes. I'm not worshiping any idols.

Pure in what way? It's too ill-defined to give a proper answer.

 

[ReesePiece23]

I fulfil my role as a human very well.

 

[Far Side Of the Moon]

I'm trying, I feel I've seen all I need to see as far as guys are concerned. Nothing is really out there so I'm keeping my eyes on God.

 

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Good question. I would say my thought life is pure right now. Opposed to a several weeks ago when my mind was in the gutter. I'm doing okay.

 

[redblue22]

no.

 

[ImAllLikeOkWaitWat]

no.

You are trying at least right? lol

 

[ImAllLikeOkWaitWat]

Jesus set the bar as far as what a pure life is like. All we can do is try to be Christlike, but we can never fully be pure to the day comes, when sin is destroyed and our bodies are renewed like our savior and lord Jesus Christ. But trying? Most certainly.

Yes, am trying to live a pure life that is pleasing to the Lord. That has not always been the case but, am still a pretty 'low mileage' guy. As a single in this day and age, not much is tougher to do. Keeping focused on hobbies and such helps.

 

[Cearbhall]

Sure, in terms of what that word means to me.

 

[redblue22]

not really trying.

 

[Applekrate]

Am curious as to what it does mean to you and others here. It seems there are different opinions as to what purity is. So many words that had had the same definition for centuries now, have new definitions. Gay is an example. in the last few years, there was strong force in US govn to redefine 'boy' and 'girl', etc.

As I interpret it in Scripture, purity or living a pure life, refers to not having sexual relations outside of your husband/wife in marriage. period.
Am I interpreting wrong?

To me, it means a number of things. Off the top of my head, one would be remembering that other people do not exist to make my life easier or more enjoyable. They are full-fledged humans just like me who exist for themselves. This may seem obvious, but there are so many little ways that people forget this and act otherwise. I am not entitled to anyone's time, love, positive regard, body, etc. The way I treat people and the decisions I make should always reflect that.
