 Quote From: elffie God does not fix people's problems and believing that he does, I think will lead people to disappointment.
You talk about the woman giving sex as a gift to a man. Is sex a gift for a woman from a man? And why do you only talk about it being a gift for a man? You make it sound like men can have sex before marriage, but women can't because it's a "gift" for the husband.
And if it's true, that the poster you are responding to is not Christian....then I agree that this will not convince them to get married. You see, there are many other religions out there and not all believe the same thing. This is simply YOUR point of view and I don't think it will help the other poster at all. You sound more like you are preaching than giving advice.
I say, that as long as two people are living together and if they don't want to get married, then they shouldn't. What's the big deal? So they live together, but aren't married.......who cares? If they are happy and it is not a problem for BOTH of them, I say let them be. However, if one wants an acknowledged relationship (marriage) and the other doesn't then there is a problem. I can't tell anyone what to do, but I can say that if they know what they want, they'll probably know what to do. You are right, God does not fix our problems, He patiently waits for us to do things His way and then He honors us for our decision. I talked about the women giving sex as a gift, but it also applies to the man as well. If God says to wait to have sex until after you are married, common sense tells you that He is talking about both the man and woman because we don't marry ourselves. Okay I didn't implicitly state that, but that is what I meant to say.
This is not MY point of view, this is God's point of view. And whenever anyone reads God's point of view, especially if they are not Christian, will always see it as preaching. My point is not in giving advice,but in calling attention to what God thinks about marriage. I realize that people have all different kinds of beliefs, but God doesn't care about that, what He cares about is the truth and that is what I wrote about, His truth. Just so happens I agree with His truth. If you don't like His truths then don't read or respond to my post.
Who cares is God, He cares what we do with every aspect of our lives. YOU may not agree with that, but it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not, it is the TRUTH. Jesus says I am the TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIFE!
You can't tell anyone what to do nor can I, but I can tell them what God thinks about the matter. If they so choose to heed what He thinks then they will be blessed for it, but if they choose not to then that is their choice. God gave us all free will, which means we have the right to choose His ways or our ways.
I simply posted God's point of view and hopefully they will consider His point of view, if not then they are exercising their free will that God gave them. |
