Anyway, is that scripture in my half or yours that says: "When there is no Law, there is no sin"? Interesting thought to throw into the mix.
I'm not saying Jesus was aroused, but I don't think he'd be human at all if he weren't. I always wondered about that story. The woman was in love. Total devotion. A man could fantasize about that forever.
Leave it to you to put that image in my mind. I never once imagined Jesus in that way, EVER. You are a piece of work.
Quote them and live by them all. OR dont quote at all and just stick to the "new" rules.
This not just addressed to you but to everyone who is upset over this. Why is "no sex until marriage" a moral principle - is it an arbitrary one - just like say not wearing a hat on alternate Tuesdays - or does it serve a purpose for the happiness and benefit of mankind? Even if you claim its origin is divine, then do you believe that God makes arbitrary incomphrehensible rules?
The usual answer is that pre-marital sex ruins or damages your future marital relations. In this case, there wasn't to be a future marital relationship so in this case is pre-marital sex wrong?
Having had cancer at a young age,I know there are a lot of things one wishes for,sex is one of them,more time to do everything is most of the other.
I was lucky,now I had the time,wish I could say I always used it wisely but I didn't.
I really am having a problem with the folks on this thread that don't have any compassion for this kid,or the prostitute for that matter.Who's to say she didn't have some compassion and show this kid a loving time?
Now go put something warm on.
Merry Christmas to you too.
Do they all just suppose it was wham bam where's my money? Just because hookers are sitting on a goldmine doesn't mean some of them don't have a heart of gold.
That is an usually good point.
Well...it could create unwanted pregnancies, encourage others to do the same thing and spread disease. Then you must agree with the schools handing out condoms? After all...I doubt any of those high school boys intend on getting married to the little whores..I mean girls.
On the meaning and whatnot of the "New" Testament, and I use quotes because I do not belive in it, I prolly have everybody in here outranked in terms of growing up in a fundy enviroment. Know it? Good lord, I must have read it a hundred times (literally). I know the differences in "just have to say the words" xtian denominations, "have to have works" denominations, "mixture of two" denominations.
It is very simple. One place it says "thos who believe in him will have salvation" and another place it says "faith without works is dead". Leaving aside the errors like Timothy saying there was more souls that went down to egypt than the Torah actually states, how do you reconcile jut the above contradiction?
Gee, you're right.
At age 15 it's more like 3 seconds of physical climax, against an eternity of suffering.
And all these self-indulgent folks DON'T think anybody (at any age past-potty training) has ANY self-control of ANY body functions ???
We have been told the results of refusing the Law .... I'm going to pretend that those who "want" a nicely liberal, peaceful, ignorant, get-everybody-to-heaven God exists .... but there are dozens of Gospels PROMISING hell to those who follow their physical want-be-do and don't request forgiveness, practice self-control, and act correctly while living.
Even more showing the hypocrisy and ultimate failure of trying living for only a pleasureable life on earth.
We don't know what happened on this boy's deathbed between him and God ..... but we do know that his "friends" aided and encouraged not only a felony (sex with a minorr), but a misdemeanor (prostitution) and the "non-criminal" penalties of disobeying the hospital staff, his parents, and the hospital rules.
What he did with God when he died I don't know. Let uts hope this behavior was not an indication of that ... but soemthing tells me that he did not truly ask forgiveness for his sins.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahah!
Ill ask again... WHERE in the Torah/Tanach (your "old" testament) is fornication a sin?
HINT: ITS NOT THERE. So, suppose this was a Jewish boy. Are you now damning him because he broke one of the "new" laws?
