There’s no good time to tell a guy you’re a virgin. First date? Too much, too soon. Wait until the third date and you risk being considered a tease. Second date? Perhaps, but at this point you’re both still fretting over whether or not to eat another piece of bread; delving into sexual histories (or lack thereof) seems a bit extreme. So: There’s no good time to tell a guy you’re a virgin. Even worse? Telling him you’re waiting until marriage.

Well, it depends what one's definition of Christian is. I would guess that yours and mine are different and neither is wrong.
Yep. Seems like it can’t be fixed either so hopefully everybody will bear with me. =)
“Well, it depends what one’s definition of Christian is. I would guess that yours and mine are different and neither is wrong.”
Why be vague?

Playboy will try to offer her a contract she cannot refuse.
Genesis chapter 24 verse 22.
Ring a bell.
Grab yourself a concordance, and a dictionary of biblical Hebrew.
Following a vision from God, gifts were sent for a young lady who turned out to be Rebekah.
And if you cross reference the words in Hebrew with an archaeological dictionary, the ring in verse 22 was either an eyebrow ring or a nose ring.
That was the culture of the day and that is the accurate parsing of the term. From the weight an eyebrow ring is highly unlikely.
But the ill-fitting glasses may.
“There is one thing worse than not being a virgin when you get married.
Dying one. If people think God approves of that, I’ve got news for them.”
That’s just bizarre.
I wasn't being vague. Our definitions are different. You don't have a monopoly on the definition of Christianity. Deal with it.
Why did you even bring up the subject in the conversation?
That’s okay. You’re as entitle to your view as I am to mine.
It is bizarre.
People think God endorses immorality apparently
“I wasn’t being vague. Our definitions are different. You don’t have a monopoly on the definition of Christianity. Deal with it.”
Now you are getting hostile, angry and defensive.
No need to.
I asked a simple question. You didn’t answer.
I don’t know why you would attribute something to me I never said, such as having a monopoly on the definition of Christianity.
Maybe the thinqs that make her fun to be with in the kitchen are the same thinqs that make her fun to be with in bed.
If so, those thinqs can carry you throuqh even if somethinq happens to make the physical part of the relationship not so easy. I hope you both stay healthy and happy.
I think it’s very possible to tell what kind of marriaqe it may be just from the clues in the kitchen. =)
Yes. We are all entitled to our own views.
I do feel your condemnation of someone who dies a virgin is rather unique.
That’s why I commented on it.
“People think God endorses immorality apparently”
I don’t think we should conclude that is what DoughtyOne meant.
Yep, I’ve been married for 16 years but I remember my dating days and having to draw the line...awkward. However, the ones who had a problem with that clearly weren’t the one for me so it weeded guys out pretty quickly.
No, he seems to think slutting around is preferable to God than dying a virgin, which a lot of very faithful people have done throughout history.
I have seen people who think God condones prostitution for this very reason.
That’s okay. I’m not sure what you think God was referencing when he said be fruitful and multiply. I always thought it was humans based on the model He presented to us.
How do you think celibacy from birth conforms to this model?
