Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.” 1 Corinthians 6:18
Fornication is defined as a man and a woman sleeping together before marriage. This sin is condemned throughout the Bible, especially in the New Testament. We are all sinners, but not all sin is equal. The Bible teaches that fornication is so serious that it can get you thrown out of the church.
….
If you are saved and sleeping with someone you aren’t married to, you need to repent of that sin. If you are living together, and you’re not married, then you are living in sin. If you plan to keep coming to church, your options are to get married or stop living together.
The Bible teaches that we should only have physical relations within marriage, so if you aren’t married yet, you need to deny that ungodly lust and wait until you get married to enjoy the benefits of marriage. If you aren’t ready to marry the person you are dating, then you shouldn’t be sleeping together. Have some self-control and respect for your body!
….
People who commit fornication for the first time often do not end up marrying that person but go on to be with person after person. Our bodies were not designed to exchange bacteria with hundreds of different people. In fact, there are infections people can get that are not considered STDs per say but are virtually unheard of in people who got married as virgins and have had only one partner. I realize that people die and their spouse can remarry, but sleeping with more than a few people in your lifetime is very unhealthy. In fact, the Bible calls it filthy.

So many women today are in relationships where they would like to get married, but the guy won’t marry them. These jerks need to do the right thing, but the women are also to blame. Unfortunately, the old adage still holds true: Why buy the cow if you can get the milk free?

Note
All of us, virtually every moment of every day, exchange bacteria, viruses, dead skin, feces, urine, dirt, buggers…..shall I go on?….with hundreds of different people. The very act of breathing exposes us to countless bacteria and viruses. I wonder if Anderson is aware of the fact that he has likely been exposed to “atheist” bacteria, even without having carnal relations with atheists.
I really dislike how he blames mostly the women instead of telling men to get their other heads under control. What a total douche
Why buy the cow, blah blah blah.
Why buy the pig when all you want is a little sausage?
What a twit.
hahaha! you made my morning with that comment! I now have to wipe coffee spray off my computer screen. You go, girl.
I’d love to take credit for that one, but I don’t know who originated it.
Always happy to make someone laugh, though. 🙂
Yep, I loved that one too!
“Atheist bacteria!” Rotflmfao!!
But what if you have sex with only one person but it’s before you are married? I knew of a couple at church that were engaged but she got pregnant. The pastor refused to marry them. How does that make sense?
Oh and I don’t have any diseases and why does he always blather on about hundreds of sexual partners…I don’t think that is common, more of an outlier thing.
