Could use some advice...

[MeekOne]

As to your last sentence,-how do you think God feels about "pre-meditated" sin,planning on sinning? That is exactly what it sounds like you are advocating! Go ahead and go out, and it is no big deal if you end up fornicating because God will forgive you! I am sorry if this is NOT what you mean,but that is exactly how it sounds.

Uh...what's your deal? That is not what I got out of what he said. I already stated that I know how far I would go sexually with a man, and would like to leave it at that. Why are you obsessed with my sexuality? How come you continue to cause discord on this thread? Last we left off, you were going to keep your advice to yourself. This is not a debate, this is a thread I created for advice....to me...not for you to get on your high horse and blast me and other people. Not to be mean, but I didn't even post on this thread for a while because of your advice. Please find another thread to do that on if that is your intent. This is said with discernment in my heart and love for my Father to you. Thank you.

Hello Wildthing! Thanks for responding.

See, the thing is, I have no problem talking to non-threatening men, in other words men I wouldn't have a problem saying no to. I think my little light is coming on now.....see----->

It must be because I have been celebate for several years now, that I am afraid if I were to go out on a date with one of the very attrative ones, I might not be able to let the Holy Spirit intervene when it would be needed most if you get my drift. I want to hold onto my Christian beliefs so dearly that I protect that so fiercely inside that I don't even let myself get too close for comfort. I think that is my problem. It all makes sense to me now.

Wow, thank you all for your input, BeautyforAshes and soblessed53 for your prayers too, I could use them.

Okay, so now I know why...any suggestions on what I can do about it? This is a real catch 22, I want a man, but am afraid to get close to one because I fear I wouldn't be able to control myself in an intimate setting.

Although, believe me, I have controlled myself many times when I needed to. Actually, the Holy Spirit has intervened in just the appropriate time, to make sure I didn't sin.

So what in the world is my problem? Sorry for all this information, but I could really still use some help here.

Thank you for your responses thus far.

WOW!, You were the one that brought up your sexuality and said that you did not trust yourself!
I merely tried to explain how you could avoid that problem,but you stated you were not interested in God taking away your desire, not EVEN TEMPORARILIY! So I saw you did not want to hear that.I came to singles ministry today and just saw this man's ADVICE to you and responded to HIM! I realize you do not want to hear FORNICATION IS A SIN! I was not writing to you! But don't worry I won't post on your thread again,as you have made it plain you want me to get lost. I'm sorry my response to him made you so upset and angry. I felt his post was a stumbling block for ANY readers.

But again I am sorry my returning to your thread made you so angry!

Just to clarify I was not trying to imply that planning in advance to sin and then go ask for forgiveness is a good thing. It isn't. I was just trying to point out that God forgives all sin and there should be great comfort in the knowledge that Christ died on the cross specifically for that purpose. If you mess up, God will be there for you, and we all mess up.

The gospel without the law is an empty promise. The law without the gospel is an empty threat.
