Need some sexual immorality advice!

[Mapik]

A little background first: I was a follower of Christ when my first sexual sin accord. I had premarital sex as well as everything before it. I wasn't really sure what to think since I wasn't as devoted as I am now. (I prayed the prayer and that was about it, now it's way different) Any ways, speed ahead and my next girlfriend is a truly devoted Christian, much much more devoted than myself. She had the same past, having sex with her last marriage, but she was devoted at the time.


Any ways, so her and I starting having sex and I know where God stands about no sex before marriage. The thing is, it has past, we can't do anything about it, so why wait for marriage with us now?

She believes this and stands behind it, but I don't know where I am with this topic. Is the above assumption correct (we had sex already, no need to wait now), or should we stop having sex completely, and why (scripture saying we shouldn't continue)?

I bring all of this up cause I was reading some scripture last night and I came across some verses about this. 1 Corinthians 6:6-20

I believe I answer my own question with that scripture, but I'd like further advice from fellow Christians.

In my 'footnote' things in my NIV Bible, it says the following, "those who say that they are Christians but persist in thee practices with no sign of remorse will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Such people need to reevaluate their lives to see if they truly believe in God."
So if I have remorse than I'm fine(and will go to the Kingdom of God), though I am sinning correct? Though if I have no remorse I won't go, somehow that makes odd sense to me since that I might have accepted the Lord as my savior but since I have no remorse for having premarital sex I won't go.


That is all. I'd like some Christian advice on if I continue to have sex (and/or do other sexual sins). What it says in the Bible, and where? Experiences perhaps, anything to help me out and my girlfriend. It's truly hard cause if I do decide that we should stop, then I have to prove it to my girlfriend, how is more devoted that I and knows much more than I about the Lord and scripture.

Anything to help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot everyone!

First off, it doesn't matter what you've done before, you're not to continue in sin. What's past is past, if you've asked for forgiveness from God, those sins have been wiped away.

I'd highly suggest relaying your concerns about the sin of pre-marital sex with your girlfriend (gently, of course):

Bad way to communicate your concern: "Hey, if you don't stop making me sin by making me have sex with you, we're through. The Bible says it's wrong."

Better way to talk about it: "Hey, I'm concerned about our relationship. I'm beginning to feel troubled about the fact that we're having sex, but aren't married. I really think that God doesn't want us to do this, and that our relationship will be better in the long run if we try to do things His way. I've prayed about this a lot, and would like you to pray about it too."

Of course, you know your girlfriend... you know the best way to talk about it.

Anyway, if she's receptive to your concerns, ask her to read Romans 6 with you, pray together, and see what you both feel God leads you to do. If she's not receptive, well... just remember it takes two to tango. It's your choice to sin or not.

Stick to your guns on this one. God has apparently placed a burden on your heart on this issue. Your relationship with Christ is developed through your faithfulness; your relationship with your girlfriend will no doubt grow as well as you grow together in your faith.

Ummm... Since you've already sinned that doesnt give you permission to do it all over again.. The why wait theory is thrown out.. Since you know its a sin, stop doing it.. and if you living together, you really should separate for the time being until you become united as one.
Hope mine didnt sound to harsh, but those are my feelings one this issue

Remember, sin is rebelling against God; do you want to continue rebelling against Him? If you are not in accord with Him, you are against Him.

Either get married or stop the fornication. Marriage is sanctified and God forgives sin, but if we continue in sin it shows us that God is not really very important to us other than just a few passing thoughts and words. Action on faith is what speaks the truth. Take an extended period of time off to think and reflect upon what you have done and where you want to go - count the cost, again. Then, upon this, decide to rededicate yourself to God, seeking His Kingdom first or if you can live under the burden of taking that Christian name in vain. Be honest with yourself and God about things and He will deal with you mercifully. His mercies are never ending. The longer we continue in sin, the more of a price we pay in hurting ourselves. God just cannot bless a person's life that is in sin, and it leaves the door open and ajar for the devil to get in and go rough shod in our lives. Examine and adjust your life according to the will of God and everything will end for the better.

Co 13:5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? —unless indeed you are disqualified.

Hello Brother,

God commands us in his Holy word to not have sex until we are married and joined as one with our partner.

Marriage is a Holy sanctification between you, your spouse and God. We must follow his rules if we are to please him.

Pray to God my brother with all your heart and he will lead you.

Luv ya!
God bless you

DUV

Are you looking for a reason to continue? It seems you are looking to the Bible for a "loop hole". I may be wrong tho.
