I know someone who is a Christian and he's dating a woman ghere both in there 20's young with no kids. He is divorced. He had sex with her a couple times but has told me he "repented" and they know longer do it.. the other day we know a very strong believer and were talking to him about this and he says that he would quit talking to the girl because if she was a "believer" then she wouldn't do it either... he said to quit talking to this girl and he needs to move on from her. But my friend dosent want too because he said she is a believer and that nobody is perfect and she'd make a good future wife ect. My question is... is our friend right? Becahse you have sex with someone does it ruin it forever? Is there any chance they can live gods will but knowing they already have sex? Should my friend dump her? Just a question for my brothers and sisters in christ.

Sins can be forgiven. If you are truly sorry and make a real attempt at not repeating the sin, no problem.

My God is a loving and forgiving God.

Yes--sin can be forgiven. Nothing wrong with sinning, then realizing it and correcting things. If he and she are both on the same page and they realize they need to abstain in the future before marriage, they can certainly have a future together.

Their choice. It was stupid, but if they have stopped, then it is their business and no one else.

I'm sorry, but that statement cracked me up.

Seriously, it sounds like the advice you are getting here is good. People make mistakes. I'm glad I'm not living my 20's today.

Yes the man repented and if faith was expressed to Jesus than Jesus would say it never happened , as he repented End of the issue ..... See Christianity is not legalism where some minister would never allow for any forgiveness and would make eternal judgment for Jesus , Like that person was divorced , so he would be condemned , or those kids were born out of wedlock , so they would be condemned , or the mistress came to the funeral , so the deceased would be condemn ... See some of these ministers do not represent Jesus in the complete truth

I guess my first lie ruins all truth, and so truth is reduced to relativism.
I guess my first pig-out session, emphasizing gluttony, ruined eating food for me.

I have to wonder where some people get their theology? There is nothing illegitimate about repentance and forgiveness. Some people can really alienate the world, given their perception of G-d.

Well, actually there is something wrong with it--better not to have gone that route in the first place.

But we know what you meant.
