The passion is mightier than the "word." Young Christians aren't waiting to have sex anymore. (genesis, America)

[quote=whoppers;21076706]I suppose that depends on whether you ask Paul or the writer of the Gospel of Matthew and his depiction of Jesus ....

But then again, it's pretty misguided to start applying 2000 year old teachings to modern situations.

That proves you aren't familiar with the Gospel of Jesus, not even a little bit.

Not everything in the Bible applies to Christians. There's Old Covenant and New Covenant.

Unless it's about gays, and then Leviticus of course applies right?

Jesus never got rid of the Old Testament, Christians just don't like following the Torah because it's inconvenient.

In some parts of the world yes they are. In the United States? No.

These kids have it tough now being subjugated to indoctrinating evolution religion propaganda and swarms of New Age occultic influence in everything they look at in our Anti-Christ super culture.

Yet you swallow that idiotic absurdities from your book of ancient folklore and superstition without question.

Christians are in no way obligated to follow the Torah. We're not Jews.

Where does the Bible say Jesus said you can ignore the Torah? It only says you are not saved by following the law, as it serves as a guide on what we're failing at, not as a means of saving us.

And I find it convenient that so many conservatives claim they don't have to follow the Torah, yet they are first to quote Leviticus to condemn gays, or quote the 10 commandments saying, "Thou shalt not murder" in regards to things like abortions.

So yes, many Christians are hypocrites who follow the Torah when it supports their personal agenda, and ignore it when it inconveniences their lifestyle.

I agree.

Wrong! It's "Have fun and use a condom!"

Just because modern day "Christians" don't have a problem with extramarital sex, doesn't mean God agrees. Fornication and Adultery are still condemned in the New Testament. Any sex out side of a marriage between one man and one woman is sin. Lots of people who go to church claim or think they are Christians, but are not. It has always been this way that Christian churches are full of unbelievers.

1Co 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Of course God is glad to forgive if they repent and ask for forgiveness and change. Otherwise, its curtains.

Christians aren't waiting to have sex anymore? Did they ever? I went to a Catholic high school in the fifties, and I have never seen a randier bunch girls since...Maybe something to do with the fact that sex was forbidden I think.
