I know there have probably been many forums on this topic but I'm going to ask anyway. My boyfriend and I are in our twenties and have been together a year. Our faith is exremely important to us and we are waiting til marriage for any type of sexual relationship. My air conditioning broke the other night and it was 92 degrees in my home. It was too hot for me to sleep there so I crashed on his couch downstairs. He has a roommate who lives in the downstairs bedroom and he stays upstairs. All I did was sleep and I never saw him the whole night too he came downstairs fully dressed and so was I. Nothing happened. I left for work and that was it. Nothing like that has happened before. I just didn't want to stay in my home when it was so hot. However, my mother says that's wrong. I think that's just one opinion but she says its wrong no matter the circumstance. Can anyone else shed some light on this? Thank you!

... the Lord tells us to avoid all appearances of evil.
That does NOT mean to avoid something because it looks bad. (a quirk of English makes it read that way) If that were true the Lord Himself violated it over and over.While what you did was totally innocent, the Lord tells us to avoid all appearances of evil.
It means to avoid evil in every form in which it appears.
Fornication is sin, not a mothers principal.
The bible also tells us to flee youthful lusts. If i recall, OP is a christian.
This is what her mother is concerned about, as she should be. OP what you did was wrong but you can be forgiven just dont do it again. If ac isnt working we just endure it till it gets fixed. Its no big deal but a bigger deal would be if we constantly went and stayed the night at someone elses house whenever things arent working or cant sleep.
You either did not understand the OP or you do not know your bible like you think you do. She did NOTHING wrong so there is nothing to be forgiven for.OP what you did was wrong but you can be forgiven just dont do it again.
Where did it say that she fornicated?Fornication is sin, not a mothers principal.
The Greek word in the NT that Gentiles are forbidden to do (Acts 15) is inappropriate contentia. How that word was used in the first century among the Greek speaking Diaspora Jews definitely INCLUDED premarital sex.Have you done a word study on "fornication" in the Bible? .... pre-marital sex is specifically not mentioned among the other types of "fornication" in the Old Testament.
It does not say that at all. It was obviously an instance of reading into something that was not there.Where did it say that she fornicated?
Our faith is extremely important to us and we are waiting til marriage for any type of sexual relationship.
Both are just efforts trying to get around the biblical command for holy living.
Yes i know what it means and i dont quote fantasy stories either.
You do not place yourself in the path of tempation and that is what her mother is concerned about.
Otherwise she wouldnt have said anything. Dont try and justify sin because maybe you did it.
I have been there too and know how men can be, even professed christian men.
We are not here to argue, the OP asked for biblical advice, not princess bride fantasies.
