I understand that we're all living in a liberated generation where majority of the youth (including me) want to play life their way...they would just ignore the elders' advice, though it's for their own good...They do not realize the fact that their ignorant behavior may cause problems for them in the future - one thing they would buy is 'who cares!'.
Today's youth are embarking on a new era of things or circumstances that the previous generation didn't have. Predictably, when it comes to the spiritual or moral aspect of their lives - they ranked poor - and for that - there's gotta be a lot of factors...
...
It started when i read a survey about premarital sex: premarital sex high among youth... and what seems so alarming then was their stupid scribes toward that survey... some of them stated that is it really a big deal? and assumed that it's better than taking up illegal drugs... and among those comments - what really drove me crazy was this statement - "for me it’s not a big deal anymore… by the way… there is no such verse in the bible that says 'though shall not have sex before merriage' peace!!!!"
yeah really! she said that...how poor...
Within that case alone, you'll notice how narrow youths would think toward such circumstances - due to lack of guidance? may be.
But it's been an issue to me since, then.
I mean have they heard about it - it's a sin?
pls. don't accuse me of judging them...i'm not saying i'm good, either...
But when we're going to open our eyes?
When we're going to decide to stop following their trail?
This is just an awakening... pls bare with me
Now, as my rebut - i have to share what i know... Since i have this commitment...
Premarital sex. So what's really with it?
Agreeing to what that poor girl said - there's no really exact word used in the Bible that precisely refers premarital sex or sex before marriage. But is it considered as sexually immoral? Since the Bible undeniably condemns adultery and sexual immorality, "Yes" is the answer, according to the book of 1 Corinthians 7:2 "But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband." In this verse, Paul stated that marriage is the "cure" for sexual immorality.
Essentially, the 1 Corinthians 7:2 is saying that , because people cannot control themselves and so many are having immoral sex outside of marriage, people should get married. Then they can fulfill their passions in a moral way. Since this verse clearly includes sex before marriage in the definition of sexual immorality, all of the Bible verses that condemn sexual immorality as being sinful also condemn sex before marriage as sinful. Premarital sex is included in the biblical definition of sexual immorality. Aside from this verse, there's a lot of Scriptures that declare sex before marriage to be a sin - Acts 15:20; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13,18; 10:8 ... 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7... The Bible promotes complete abstinence before marriage. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations of which God approves (Hebrews 13:4)
Far too often we focus on the "recreation" aspect of sex without recognizing that there is another aspect ---procreation. Sex within marriage is pleasurable, and God designed it that way. God wants men and women to enjoy sexual activity within the confines of marriage. However, the couple must understand that God's intent for sex includes producing children. Thus, for a couple to engage in sex before marriage is doubly wrong---they are enjoying pleasures not intended for them, and they are taking a chance of creating a human life outside of the family structure God intended for every child.
While practicality does not determine right from wrong, if the Bible's message on sex before marriage were obeyed, there would be far fewer sexually transmitted diseases, far fewer abortions, far fewer unwed mothers and unwanted pregnancies, and far fewer children growing up without both parents in their lives. Abstinence is God’s only policy when it comes to sex before marriage. Abstinence saves lives, protects babies, gives sexual relations the proper value, and, most importantly, honors God.
Now it's up to you if you follow God's words or enjoy human pleasures and suffer with its consequences...
But if you'll ask me what is the best way to do ---i would probably say "run!" i think it's the best way to get away from temptations - but of course, ya better pray for guidance.
