Why Don't You Wait??

Lets talk about the wonderful issue of sex before marriage. I have one thing to say to this... eewwwww! Why don't you wait until your with the person that you are going to spend the rest of your life with before you decide to share something that permanent with the person!!

Let's look at 1 Corinthians 6:18-20:

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

If you have sex before you are married than you are sinning against yourself (and your future wife/husband).

What if you get her (or you get) pregnant? What will happen to the child? That child will probably only have a few options... be killed (abortion, which should never be a choice but I know people do it), go into foster care (better than abortion but it's really not fair to the child),

or

stick around and deal with two parents who didn't really want him/her in the first place and don't treat him/her right

or

one parent (because the other abandoned her, or maybe even sometimes him)

or

have to deal with travelling back and forth between parents who don't want to see each other but want to (or feel like they have to) spend time with the child.

There are many things that the child could have to go through because his "parents" decided to dishonor themselves in creating him/her. The parents might also decide to get married because of the child, but that's the wrong reason to marry. They should do it for love, not because they feel obligated!

Not to mention all of the STD's that you could be carrying around and helping spread because of what you are doing.

I know this concept of abstinence is thought to be an "old idea" but I assure you... It is the right one and it is the best one.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10:

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
