And this particulair case doesn't seem to be a kid sleeping around with many people does it? So, what if he were Jewish? What about me? Ive had pre-marital sex. And Im a convert. Does this mean I am going to hell?
Yet quite a few (no hyperbole) seem to either state that, or infer with their words that, this kid is now getting slow roasted.
Your half of the book says something about not judging doesn't it?
15 years old is not a little one. And I doubt this kid believed in HIM anyway.
Look. If this kid was a saved Christian, than what he did was wrong and a sin, but it would not be enough to condemn him to hell. However, If he was not a saved Christian, than the point is moot, because he wasn't saved anyway.
The Dewey Decimal system is very bad. All the numbers in it refer to sex. That is why librarians are libertines. Don't take my word for it -- look for yourself. See? What a filthy sod Melvil Dewey was. I hate him. He has burned in Hell since 1931, hahahahaha.All right, where's my A+?

So my friend,what do you think,the Kid gonna burn in hell or did he get a little piece of an angel.
I like Bukousky,"Her Ass looked like the bottom of heaven!"
...and don't give me this "he's going to Hell, it says so it the Bible" nonsense.
I don't believe the Bible is nonsense, but if by hell you mean a place of eternal torment, you are right. Sinners die. Nothing more, nothing less.
Biblically, it is a sin. Practically, he's no worse a sinner than you or I. But what's sad is that perfectly reasonable people like yourself don't recognize it as being wrong.
Like it or not, we are here for more than just the fullfillment of our sexual fantasies. One day everyone will be made aware of this.
I said a few prayers for an answer to your post and opened the Bible. Heres the answer.
"Certain individuals have recently wormed their way into your midst, godless types, long ago destined for the condemnation I shall describe. They pervert the gracious gift of our God to sexual excess and deny Jesus Christ, our only master and Lord."
"I wish to remind you of certain things, even though you may already be very well aware of them. The Lord first rescued his people from the land of Egypt but later destroyed those who refused to believe. There were angels, too, who did not keep to their own domain, who deserted their dwelling place. These the Lord has kept in perpetual bondage, shrouded in murky darkness against the judgment of the great day. Sodom, Gomorrah, and the towns thereabout indulged in lust, just as those angels did; they practiced unnatural vice. They are set before us to dissuade us, as they undergo a punishment of eternal fire. Similarly, these visionaries pollute the flesh; they spurn God's dominion and revile the angelic beings. Even the archangel Michael, when his case with the devil was being judged-a dispute over Moses' body-did not venture to charge him with blasphemy. He simply said, "May the Lord punish you." These people, however, not only revile what they have no knowledge of but are corrupted through the very things they know by instinct, like brute animals. So much the worse for them! They have taken the road Cain took. They have abandoned themselves to Balaam's error for pay, and like Korah they perish in rebellion. These men are blotches to your Christian banquets. They join solemn feasts without shame and only look after themselves. They are blown on the wind like clouds that bring no rain. Like trees at the year's end they bear no fruit, being dead and uprooted. They are wild ocean waves, splashing their shameless deeds around like foam, or shooting stars for whom the thick gloom of darkness has been reserved forever. It was about these that Enoch, who was of the seventh generation descended from Adam, prophesied when he said, "See, the Lord has come with countless holy ones about him to pass judgement on all men, indicting the godless for every evil deed they have done, and convicting those godless sinners of every harsh word they have uttered against him. These men are grumblers and whiners. They live by their passions, uttering bombast. Whenever it is expedient, they resort to flattery. Remember, beloved, all of you, the prophetic words of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; how they kept telling you, "In the last days there will be imposters living by their godless passions." These sensualists, devoid of the Spirit, are causing divisions among you."
I thought it was quite appropriate.
(Too much egg nog maybe ?) Stay Safe Ya'll !
Surely old enough for adults to buy him a prostitute on his death bed.
Its a scandal. And its a scandal that clergy were not all united on condemning it.
Situation ethics.
