Christianity is about FORGIVENESS, no not an excurse to SIN, but I beg to say most christians are not virgins when they marry

Indeed most Christians aren't virgins when they marry, for the very simple reason that a great many of them don't get saved til their late teens or early 20s, by which time most of them have had plenty of opportunities to fall. I hold nobody's REPENTED PAST against them, either during dating or in any other context. For the record I once seriously dated a woman from my Bible study who was an EX-prostitute who'd been with over 400 men and a fair number of women as well. The keyword is EX-; she wasn't still doing it.

My complaint is about those who have allegedly gotten "saved", go to church regularly, and even give public lip service to Christian morals, yet WHILE CLAIMING TO BE CHRISTIANS are engaged in the PRESENT-DAY, UNREPENTED activity of premarital sex. They speak in tongues, thump the Bible, sing hymns, and talk a good game, yet secretly sleep around:

"LOL.... Won't have to wait even with a christian girl...."

LOL? That's nothing to laugh at.

Yes....Go look at some of those Holy Baptist Preachers that you can find at the local watering holes with women other than there wife??? SEX is a very complex issue Biblically, ADULTERY is a forgivable sin as sex before marraige NO I don't condone either of those but I realize people have fallen into them even when saved, that is why Jesus and Prayer is never-ending because you don't stop sinning because your saved but you try and do better by asking for forgiveness in Christ...

Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
