Bible Discussion Thread

Can you be a Christian and live for the Lord while living with your boyfriend and not being married?

Joy Someone got to get Honest and make a commitment, I'm not the judge I just know Him.

Yes. But until you marry the Bible calls it Fornication.

After God created Adam and made Eve from Adams rib; God performed the first Marriage.

Genesis 2:22-25. He sanctified it. Children born are sanctified by the believing parents.

Satan has always fought against marriage because God created it. That's why people try to gloss over what the Bible teaches. Rebellion is as (or, the same as) the sin of witchcraft.

You have to decide who you are going to follow: Jesus, or Worldly Opinions. Search your heart on what you will choose?

God has put Eternity in our hearts. Somehow everyone sorta knows that; but they block it out and do the worldly thing.

God wants us to get married and enjoy all the benefits and pleasures without any guilt.

For me, I believe the Bible states that that living arrangement is termed fornication, and is one way one can commit sexual immorality. I suggest that those who love Jesus should change the living arrangement and stop having sex. We have the Holy Spirit and the power of grace to overcome such sin. But, yes, you can still be a Christian and sin in many ways. When a person becomes aware that their actions are sinful, out of love for Jesus and to not impede their witness, a believer should confess it as sin, repent of it, and ask for help to stop sinning in this way.
