Hey, I hope to encourage you and release you from some of your guilt. If you could sin bad enough to lose your salvation, everyone would, many times in their life. What God has started in you, he WILL bring to completion. Next, having a physical response is different to having willful thought...

I'm so sorry for you, and I wish you didn't have to go through this. Having a wild sex drive is insanely hard to deal with as a Christian. I'm right in the same boat as you, minus the hope of one day getting married. I've had my heart broken one too many times. I can tell you what helped for me...

I think you misunderstood me. It hasn't taken away my desire to find true love, but that now, IF God desires to glorify himself through my singleness, then that is what I want to. It's not that I don't still have desires, but that God has taught me to be content with where I am right now, and...

Yeah, I guess. It was really hard at first. But in hindsight I'm glad it happened that way. God used it to teach me how to be content with singleness. So I'm glad that the situation was used to grow me, but it doesn't make it hurt any less.

I have always greatly desired marriage. Still do. It used to be all-important to me, but God has since taught me contentment. So, though I have a great desire for marriage, if I never marry, that will be okay. If God wants to glorify himself through my singleness, then that is what I want to.

In case anyone is still paying attention to this, or comes across it randomly, the end of the story is this: last spring she told me it wasn't going to work, and now she just got engaged to someone else.

Sometimes I dream lucidly. It's quite fun. If ever I realize I'm dreaming, the world is open to me. I can fly like superman, create things, telekinete, etc. Pretty cool. The only time I can remember being super disappointed that it was only a dream I had just married my crush and we were in...

Hey, don't beat yourself up over it. In the Leviticus 18 it lays out the rules of incest. You can read it for yourself, but it boils down to this: don't be with anyone 3 steps from you or closer. I.e. your mom is 1 step, stay away. Your sister and grandma are 2 steps, stay away. Your aunt is...

Don't get me wrong, I don't think that God cursed nakedness, in fact, I think it's one of the only things that came through the curse better than before: however, there are some strict prohibitions about nakedness in the Bible, and God made adam and eve clothes with which to cover their...

Yeah, I've gone skinny dipping. It's incredibly liberating to swim naked. I mean, God kind of created people to exist naked in a tropical/subtropical environment, and specifically suited us to spend a lot of time in and near water. But, you know... curse and shame of nakedness and all that...

Exodus 21:10 KJV If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. This is as far as I know the only command in the Bible regarding polygamy: you must treat your wives equally in every way. As far as I have found there is no direct prohibitions...

Here's my opinion, take it or leave it.... Exodus 22:16-17 KJV And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. [17] If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. Now I know...

There is a lot of variance in the FIB church, and they are rather moderate. They aren't super exlusive, and yes, they love all, including enemies, they believe in salvation through faith alone, but necessarily wrought through repentence and confession of sins. I absolutely beleive she's genuine...
