  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Pastor Stephanos,

"I took the same decision when I was your age. Never fall back with all temptations, and trust me in the sake of years I had lot of temptations. But with the help of GOD i kept my promiss"

------It's great that you kept your promise, but could you please post what benefits you experienced by keeping that promise. What were the results? Are you married now and God is rewarding you with a fantastic sex life? What made it worth it? How has waiting had a significantly positive impact on your life?

Inquiring non-believers want to know. ;-)

Before I accept Jesus in my life, my friends use always to go somewhere to get paid sex. Many times I joined them, but never did it, because I was raised in an evangilical family where we use to attend sundays schools and where we learned that this thing is a sin. at age 19 I decide not to do it definitly until I get married. For many reasons. First it must mean something to me when I am doing it. Doing it for one night stand doesnt mean anything except a satisfaction. I want an sentimental value if you wana call it. And this moment wont be nioce unless it is with someone so close. even with a gf or a fiances I couldnt think about it. Per the Bible perspective why adultery is sin or what is adultery. adultery is someone have an intercourse with someone else withouth being attached to each others by a legal or spiritual connections. which mean marriage. And adultery mean that one person who is attached to someone is doing sex to sombody else not his one.

Benefits ? there are no physical benefits in facts the only benefit is that I kept myself holy in the eyes of GOD, and thats the great benefit I will ever think of.

No I am not married I was enged for 2 years and we broke out just few months ago. But I know that GOD will give me the person and the life that I deserve in time. GOD promisses never fall down.

people respect your decision and they will have a good look for you if you told them that you still a virgin or you decide not to dit till marriage. They respect you specially those who have families values. Some they might laugh at you and called you names like foggot or gay or whatever but these are the temptations of the devil so you will need to prove them wrong by doing it. Do not fall, you can stay strong and prove them wrong by your standing. Then they back off.

Everyone lead a different life, as per mine this decision had a great positive impact. The greates is I am a youth Pastor and youth in their problems need someone to trust. Most of them struggle with such an idea. and I am here a living example to give them strenght in their decisions.
