 Quote From: jojobeaner 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. My point is not in giving advice,but in calling attention to what God thinks about marriage.
This is what I thought was preaching. You were not offering advice, instead you were telling them what God expects of them, there is a difference. And that's fine, but I think people are more interested in hearing about other peoples advice, real life experience, not about what some higher power expects from them. People like to relate to others.
I'm sorry if my post came off a little harsh, that was not my intent. You have the right to post whatever you want, I was only trying to explain that people would like to hear from you, or other posters about thoughts, not about what God wants or created us to do.
And I will continue to read your posts if I happen to come across them. Just because we don't agree doesn't mean we can't be tolerant of each other. =) |
