is anybody here a Christian, and if so, do you really believe and follow Christ, because with all these posts about having sex and whatnot, it doesn't necessarily sound like it...but i don't want to be judgmental and say that you're not...

I'm Christian, though I don't know what kind of Christian specificly.
I've tried many kinds of churches, but I can't seem to find one that really suits me. Just think of those people as loose believers ...? |

^^well, you would be correct, every human has...it's our nature...i didnt mean that we were perfect by any means...but when you accept christ, it's supposed to bring about a change, and that would be reflected in what you do...of course you would still mess up, but perhaps not in the ways that everyone seems to be posting in here...

![]() I bet every one of you has done something that is considered "not Christian". Kind of an ignorant statement but true nontheless. It's inevitable; every Christian has done something wrong at one point or another. Heeeeeeeeeeeeey where's Suzzette ![]() |

shut the f**k up and lighten the f**k up oh, come on...what's wrong with this topic? i think it's totally acceptable...of course, i started it, so i'm kinda biased, but nonetheless...and it's not a "heavy" topic, so we cant really "lighten up" nor is it persecutive, so again, cant "lighten up" if you have problems with this topic, dont post in it. |

I'm not Christian. I'm a Buddhist. However, I don't think that ones religion should be a determining factor in what you can and cannot discuss. It seems rather silly. That's like saying that Gay people can't talk about vagina's. Just my two cents.

Just think of those people as loose believers ...? There's such thing as non-denominational Christians, which means that you don't necessarily align yourself with a certain christian sect. is anybody here a Christian, and if so, do you really believe and follow Christ, because with all these posts about having sex and whatnot, it doesn't necessarily sound like it...but i don't want to be judgmental and say that you're not... Yes, I'm Lutheran. And I think that's a ridiculous statement. Just because we're Christians doesn't mean we can't talk about sex and sex is a taboo. We are just taught to look at sex with a different perspective than some people. |

Yeah, a lot of Christians think that sex is this evil demonic thing.. I don't know, but who ever thought that up is a real moron. Sex is mentioned over and over in the bible. The only thing that the bible doesn't encourage is sex before marriage. Check out some of the stuff Solomon wrote about breasts and vaginas in Proverbs... yeah... or how about 1 Corinthians. A few of the verses in 1 Corinthians actually talk about having as much sex as you want. In fact certain verses talk about there never being a bad time to have other than durring prayer. |

We are just taught to look at sex with a different perspective than some people. now, i never said that we cant talk about sex or that it is taboo, just the way people are talking about it and saying how they've done this and they've done that makes it sound like they aren't. and like i said, i don't want to judge or assume, and so that 's why i started this, i wanted to know. |

It is okay to have and talk about sex even if you are christian. The only thing God says is you have to be married. As far as I see it, when you sleep with someone it makes a bond that to me is considered marriage. That is how it was in biblical days and thats how I follow. The bible does not say how to get married so I think that the church wedding is just another way for the church to make money. I go by how it was when the bible was first written. Anyway, God never said sex is bad altogether and should never be spoke of. Sex being unholy was thew church's invention.
Anyway, to answer your question, yes I am a christian...sort of...not as much. I used to be a junior leader at my church but I left. I love God and I believe he sent down his son to die for my sins and although I have not been baptized in water I have been baptized in the fire. I used to be one of those people you would see in the front of the church jumping up and down, screaming, crying, and laying hands on everybody. But I couldn't take the lies of the church and what modern day christian leaders have done to the way we "should" follow Christ. This is a good example. God nor Jesus said sex was evil, the church did. that's sorta true but it makes them a bad Christian and their religion worthless. ![]() which you can call hypocrites because I see them alot at my church! ![]() As for you...I do hope you are joking. Someone is a hypocrite because they mess up. Christianity is all about f**k ups. That is why Jesus dies on the cross. So that his blood could warsh away all the stupid stuff we do. Its people like you that make me hate the church. Here is an idea, pick up a Bible and read it. Good luck finding anyone that didn't f**k up. (exept Jesus, so it is written) Even David who is said to be after God's own heart did some major f**king up. Get your head out of your ass and into a Bible before you try to put you put people down and call us bad christians. I bet every one of you has done something that is considered "not Christian". Yes, you would be right. But that is the base of the christian religion. If we never messed up then why would we need Jesus. Real Christians, not the high and mighty judgmental assholes that you often see in church, know that we are not perfect and that is why we need Christ. You might not believe this and that is your choice, I am not in the business of changing peoples minds anymore, but understand that most of us are well aware that we do pleny of un-Chistian like things. I am a huge f**k up. But its the fact that there is hope that kind be found in Jesus that used to keep me going. |

The only think that you can do for them if pray. |

Actually, I doubt more than a few people are making up stuff to impress people. Honestly, no one really reads through "Are you a virgin" threads like that, unless you have this crazy ass story about how you lost your virginity which is highly unlikely. It's just very, VERY, VERRYYYY common for teenagers to have already lost their virginity before they even enter college these days. And I wouldn't say they would be "punished". Being a Christian is about making mistakes, repenting and asking for forgiveness. If you f**k up and have pre-marital sex, you can decide to be abstinent from that point on and ask God for forgiveness. ============= Jerico Drum - Preach it man. I think I love you. I agree with everything you say from the 2nd paragraph to the end True, but still. You never know. It's the internet & you have no idea who these people are so it doesn't really effect you. You are also correct about the statement you made about Christianity & forgivness but it also says in the bible that God forgives you of all sins, but when the judgement comes you will be punished for every sin you have commited on Earth. |

The only think that you can do for them if pray. but in my opinion, i'm my own person and i can make my own decisions, including when and with whom i should have sex. i don't need to follow a book or a person who we have no proof whatsoever even exists. i'm atheist and i don't think that i'll be "punished" for having pre-marital sex. how many christians do you know that drink? isn't that supposedly against the bible too? |
