Sexuality And The Gospel

So I came across a post ,a pre wedding post actually; where the bride was on and on about how she met the guy. Now I don't know if she had previous encounters with other people she dated but her post specifically showed she never had any sexual encounter with her fiance. 

She said she had been praying for her future husband and she wanted a Christian man with all other attributes including staying "holy" till marriage so her prayer got answered when the groom in question suggested they shouldn't even kiss till marriage. Wahala for me o

I get the whole Christian dating and what have you but these dudes dated for a year before they got married. Talk about be ye not conformed to the world

Some people(e.g me) consider kissing a normal rite like we don't even need to date before we kiss and these ones are very sure they will get married and they are..I don't what they were doing.

God is the creator of everything including sex but he created sex under marriage, so a Christian shouldn't talk about sex without its connection to marriage. 

Sex outside marriage is two people taking part in the benefit of marriage without the actual covering of it .Everything we do its based on our own judgement on how it will be beneficial to us so if God from His own judgement had seen that sex outside marriage is wrong...then it is no question asked.

If you want to say God aside what's really wrong with it?

I'll bring back the God you just placed aside and then we will talk about, Stds, unwanted pregnancy, hurt, guilt, unnecessary memories bruh a lot of unwanted things that require a blog post on it's own.

When eve was tempted by the devil, his aim wasn't to actually make her eat the fruit rather to test her faith in God, to choose between what she wants and what she actually needed.

Satan's aim is to trick us into having doubts about what God said, he wants to test our faith.

He did it when he made us believe a sinful relationship could give us joy, when he said unforgiveness would pacify our pains or when we feel we could serve two masters.

Satan offers solution to problems he created so we would always go back to him instead of trusting God. He gives us the wrong idea about this statement "He is the ruler of the word'. That statement is partially true.

Satan rules the world..yes..but he rules the evil in this world. When they say he is a god, it doesn't mean he is god to everyone or everything but to those who have subjected themselves to sin that's why when you accept Jesus you make him Lord over you and over you includes your body. 

Satan, while tempting Jesus offers him the world and that is what he does to us he offers us something he doesn't own so we would loose what we really need.

Simply because we want it or it seems right doesn't mean we need it.

We should pray for the grace not to suppress the truth for our own selfish needs.

If we believe our going out and coming in will be blessed, then we should also believe that sex outside marriage is wrong after all it is written in the same book and so far God hasn't changed.

I wrote this 2017 and I understand what Emmy in that year was driving at but we thank God for growth. Amen.

I deleted 60 percent of what I wrote because I don't agree with it anymore.

Emmy in 2021 doesn't still see how the no kissing before marriage will work for her but she trust God for grace.

Some things are off the table because guilt isn't following me this year and forever but kissing; nah, I have never thought of that.

I honestly don't know if I can stay without kissing someone I love. It's a norm I can't picture myself without but not withstanding it doesn't mean I can't do without it because God won't let me be tempted with something He hasn't given me the grace to overcome because He is just that good.

Honestly, it won't be one of my boundaries but if I'm courting someone that says no, then No it is.

Again my acceptance will be fueled by grace because I cannot do this on my own,

Holy Spirit take over.

Do I think I'm going to reach a level where Kissing isn't an option?

All I can type is nothing is impossible😂😂😂
