I’m gonna wait till marriage. I’m a teenager , I see a bunch of others not waiting and dating wrong people , but I will wait and let God lead me to the right person.

People see sex as a fun activity. I’m 22 and felt embarrassed for being virgin but I’m trying to reconnect with God and feel less embarrassed about it now. If a man doesn’t want to wait until marriage, I don’t want to be with him.

[@davidthompson5020]

That's wise, and it also goes deeper than that. Not only waiting until marriage, but being a Biblically faithful Christian. He can agree to wait until marriage to have sex, but not at all be a faithful man. It's important we look for real born again believers to be spouses. Everything else will follow in step with God's word if they are, and not be just willing to merely wait until marriage for sex. Keep it up, and make sure your own faith is very strong, God bless you!

[@rissroo4325]

Don’t be embarrassed. But do make sure your boundaries have boundaries. I wanted to save sex for marriage but I didn’t keep guardrails up to prevent sex from happening. What I do now is I will not have a man over at my home or go to his if we don’t have a chaperone and I’m saving kissing until marriage.

[@jessicajones3046]

Yes if he doesn’t want to wait you’re not equally yoked and he’s NOT the one. I did not wait and I regret it

[@jendoe9436]

Never feel embarrassed about waiting for the right person to share your virginity with. I’m now 26 and was engaged with someone I thought I wanted to spend my life with. But after a lot of careful reflecting and praying, I realized I was more into the idea of marriage with him than actually loving him. I want kids and a big family, but I also want a partner I can grow with and I didn’t see us being on the same page religiously long-term. Continue waiting and God will work things out for you.

[@TheBeanHome]

If you are a virgin then please, PLEASE read ALL of 1 Corinthians 7. This is a part of scripture sadly rarely mentioned to Christians. You need to be aware that marriage dose come with extra difficulties. So before you even think about dating, make sure you read all your Bible, or the full New Testament for starters. People would be very slow to marry and divorce if they where aware of 1 Corinthians 7.

[@sw6951]

Whenever they say “what if you wait and it doesn’t work out” I always say many people don’t wait and it STILL doesn’t work out 😂. Relationships are more than just sex.

Love is a choice of the will. These people are angry at us for their own lack of will-power. We make them feel guilty simply by existing.

[@paulaprice6949]

Preach. Some people can't imagine a healthy relationship without sex.

[@moosechuckle]

My wife grew up as a Christian because of her background, she waited 25 years to be intimate with only one man: me. I however, did not grow up in the faith, and I regret it. Physical intimacy, the first time with your spouse, isn’t for physical gratification. It’s the emotional bonding and emotional intimacy that is gratifying. We’ve been married for 17 years. She’s my best friend, we learned each other’s preferences and dislikes, and it’s certainly better than any experience I had prior to my marriage.

[@97gin24]

So your wife waited, while you were out there raw boning a bunch of woman…😊

[@moosechuckle]

@@97gin24 nah, just one. I was in a very volatile (borderline abusive) relationship in high school from about 14 to 18. During that time I was a very angry atheist, and I didn’t have any reason, outside of pregnancy, to not be physically involved with my girlfriend at the time. The only good thing that came out is that I probably would have gotten into drugs if it wasn’t for that girl. Lotta kids from my high school went down that route and… well, none of them really achieved anything, some of them have died due to drugs, and other just work in the factories of my small home town. Not that there is anything wrong with working in the field, but I know several that were capable of so much more.

[@AdirondackRuby]

I have never once regretted my lack of sexual activity. I haven't had to deal with any of the heartbreak and drama that my classmates did. No unplanned pregnancies or abortions, no cheating or jealousy or heartbreak, no STDs or infections. All through my teen years, I would always hear "But if you don't have sex before marriage, you'll never know if your husband is any good! He might be awful at sex!" and my response was always "If I haven't had sex with anyone else, who would I have to compare him to?" I am now 37 years old and still a virgin. I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of that. I have no regrets. I have strict standards (for who I will even date, much less consider marrying) and I will not compromise. If I die a virgin, so be it.

[@agnesr.4664]

And there are a lot of people who wish they can go back and fix their mistake of losing their virginity. Keep going! 🤍

[@rivkeg7599]

i find it so ironic when these people preach acceptance but openly mock people that choose to take control of their sexualities and make the personal choice to wait until marriage. like, aren't they the ones who yell and scream that everyone should respect what people choose to do with their bodies? i guess what they truly mean is that we must respect what people do with their bodies *as long as* they don't align with what God asks us to do, because then we're "outdated, boring and legalistic". it goes without saying this is a direct result of our sex-obsessed culture and how sin has utterly deformed not only the meaning of sex but also of a marriage. let's continue to stand strong in our faith and wait for the enormous blessing God has reserved for us

[@kohltonclark22]

Real! The actual reason they talk about acceptance is because they’re trying breakdown the God’s standard of morality in society so there’s a vacuum. Then they’ll go ahead and impose their morality, because neutrality is a farce. Michael Knowles has a book about it that I liked. Speechless: Controlling Words Controlling Minds

[@yelloe]

I think deep down, maybe subconsciously, they know that having casual sex is not right, but they just want to bring everyone else down with them, because they committed these sins and want everyone else to commit the same sins so they don't feel as ashamed.. That's what Satan does.

[@DesGardius-me7gf]

There’s no such thing as “sin,” let alone, sexual sin. It’s a bullshit concept used to manipulate and control people. I don’t claim to speak for others, but the reason why I mock you for waiting until marriage is because I think it’s pathetic that you allow _words in a book_ to dictate your life. That’s fucking moronic! No different from how people in North Korea think.

I waited for marriage. The older you get, the more people laugh at you, look at you funny, and ask what's wrong with you, especially if you're also looking for a virgin like yourself. God brought me the man I was looking for when I was 37. We married 2 years ago (I am now 44). The wait was absolutely worth it, even though it was definitely frustrating at times! We moved in together AFTER marriage, and it's working out just fine. People can make fun all they want. God knows what He's doing.

[@CharlieKraken]

They make fun of people for waiting until marriage because they have no conception of what's special about marriage. They see it as a mere legal state rather than a total commitment to being husband and wife for life for the glory of God and to honor His design. As far as I'm concerned, if you have sex outside of marriage, then you will regret it, as you will likely then have sex with a different partner, breaking the soul-bond that sex causes and damaging you spiritually, as well as most importantly violating the law of God. Another reason these people dismiss marriage and sex being only within marriage is because they are afraid of commitment and just want to treat sex like some casual thing rather than a holy thing meant for one man and one woman for life. I pray that they come to God, see the error of their ways, and repent.

[@rival756]

im sorry , i cant take you serious because of your profile picture xd

[@lucifernazaedi]

It isn’t just spiritually damaging. It’s physically and emotionally damaging as well. In our own bodily structures, the chemicals (that make it so we bond with a partner) in our brain break down when we have sex with more than one person in our life (but gets stronger when we stay with only one person). This then leads us to then have trouble bonding with a forever partner. It’s so clear from this biology that God has created us to be with one person.

[@michaellemmen]

This is absolutely correct and I’ve broken that soul bond by having multiple partners. It’s left me confused and suicidal at worst. The only thing I can do now is trust in Jesus and turn from my wicked ways, and instruct others to do the same. But I really want to reiterate to anyone who is still a virgin- please wait. Please wait. Don’t ruin your life and others lives. Sex is holy. Don’t let the world fool you into thinking it’s the same as watching TV or reading a book. It’s not just an activity.

[@vitormenezesdemattos967]

I have an unbeliever friend who said to me that he doesn't think sex was a big deal bc when he was a virgin he was all like "oh, sex, sex. And once i did it i was like 'meh... no big deal'". He pretty much just proved why is not good to have sex outside marriage (in the pleasure sense). When you don't have to make the girl fall in love with you, to "kill the dragon", keep her in love in years to come to only theeeennn exchange the vows and only afterwards have sex.... It becomes something entirely different. The easier you get, the least pleasurable it becomes, just test it out giving a brand new ball to a rich and a poor kid and say wich one will love it the most. Not to mention that having sex with multiple people b4 marriage increases the chances of adultery because there is the factor of comparison. EDIT: And the easiest you get, the more you want. No wonder a little bit of sexual liberation from the biblical ethics, created the hookup culture and society is suffering from it's obvious bad effects. It seems unsurprisingly, that the old "outdated" christian ethic was the right one after all

In my experience, I learned everything I needed to know about “sexual compatibility” through dating my now husband and getting to know his character. He listened carefully, communicated clearly, respected boundaries, handled disagreement well, and cared about my needs in our non-sexual relationship, so I was confident that would carry over to intimacy once we were married. Things worked out well, and also you will always have to work together and compromise no matter how compatible you are!

When i was back in high school, i remember the topic of sex came up and i always thought to myself "i wanna wait for marriage. If I'm going to have sex, i want it to be with someone that i am 100% committed to, and someone who is 100% commited to me." And as I've gotten older and more mature, both in faith and just in general, i am SO glad I've kept that mindset. I had a few instances where i didn't think it was a big deal to have sex before marriage, but I'm glad i stayed on track. I'm someone who can struggle with staying commited to something (the best example is the stories i write; i come up with ideas for long arching stories, but i never have the motivation to actually work on them) and a lack of commitment should NOT be mixed with sex. It will only lead to heart ache

Pray for your sisters. And tell them not to joke with you like that. If they cannot respect your beliefs, try not to have long conversations with them if you can. The bible says, who is my brother or sister or mother? Only those who do the will of my Father will be my mother, brother or sister. That's a summary of it but you get the point. As someone who limits conversations with many close family members, it's never easy, but God is worth far more than any relationship in this world. And if you have friends that pressure you into sex, they are not your friends, they are of the world and we can not hold hands with God and the world.

[@GringoPicante]

I turned 38 years old march this year (2024). I made the commitment to not have sex until marriage when i was 29. Still waiting for Mrs. Right and have no regrets. I represent the 3rd generation in a row in my family of kids growing up in a broken home, no father, the problems that come with that, etc. I believe it is my responsibility as a man to break that generational curse in my family. By the time i was 29 years old i discovered that most women in the west are also 2-3 generations removed from having a father in the home. I believe this is why the importance of traditional family values and traditional "no pre marital sex" values have been forgotten for the most part in the west. And to be clear im not religious. At 29 years old i could only count on my two hands the amount of married couples I met in the west who's kids were not suffering from the generational curse that has plagued my family for 3 generations. These married couples have different walks of life, don't know each other, some are religious some are not religious but they all had one thing in common: they waited until they were married before having sex...and they would go on and on for hours on how waiting until marriage contributed to the stability of their marriage, their sex life, and the stability of their home in which they are raising their kids. I found that so inspiring that I chose to never have sex again until I'm married. And wow, what an eye opener that was! It changed the way i approach dating. By the time I turned 32 i gave up on dating because family values have deteroriated so badly in the modern world i could not find a woman i could trust to be a mother to my future kids. ...then i lived in southern Mexico for 10 months and discovered that there is a whole world outside the so called modern world that still has an abundance of women with the type of values that are compatible with mine. im now studying spanish and will be immigrating to Mexico soon to meet, marry and build a family with someone. it's a rare luxury in life to know exactly what you want and know exactly how to get it and that's where im at now in life. but i would not have had the luxury to go after what i want and break my family's generational curse in the way im planning if i didnt make that life changing decision at 29 to not have sex again until im married because i would have likely been married, divorced and lost kids in a custody battle and be forced to pay alimony and child support, thus continuing the cycle for a fourth generation in a row. Not getting laid doesnt mean you are not manly enough. that notion, that way of thinking is poison. the most manly and masculin thing you can do is wait until marriage to have sex. cuz a real man is the kind of guy who chooses to do the right thing when everyone else chooses to do the wrong thing and makes you an outcast because of it and you do the right thing anyway for no other reason than...it's the right thing to do. hope this wall of text helps somebody out there. :)

[@chibuikee7482]

I would say not waiting for marriage is one of the things that causes a marriage to fail. Alot of people go sleeping around before they find the "true one" they want to marry, this is bad because it breeds individuals who lack sexual discipline. And even in the courtship stages tend to confuse their lust or infatuation with each other for love.

[@yoyoducky3067]

When they say "love is blind" can have two different meanings, "love(lust) is blind(to incompatibility)" Or what it's supposed to be "Love(true unconditional love) is blind(to minor "flaws/differences" ie: snoring, not "good" in bed, messy eater,... etc...)" I've known people who loathe their partner because they snore or even were "too nice" and they left them after they had their fill of sex with them.

[@aleciad7218]

Yep. Statistics show that the more sexual partners a woman has, the higher the divorce rates. Sleeping around clearly messes with the ability to bond. It's a very common problem. Many marriage therapists constantly encounter couples who are bored of their sex lives. That's because the partners were comparing their spouses to their previous experiences. They had inadvertently trained themselves to expect for something new and exciting with every hookup.

[@MicaelaContreras]

Was sexualy active since my teens lost my virginity because I didn't want to be a virgin. This led to me being sexually promiscuous my whole early twenties. When my husband and I were born again we got engaged. we went celibate for 8 months and when we had sex it was beautiful, freeing, perfect and guilt free.

I lost my virginity because I wanted to have control over my body. Someone tried to rape me and would have if I hadn’t fought them off. After that I swore I’d never let another person even have the opportunity to STEAL my virginity. It was mine to give so I started sleeping with my high school sweetheart who I trusted and knew would never pressure me into that when I was 17. As much as I loved him, I too really regret my promiscuity in adolescence and young adulthood.

[@biscuithead2243]

I find it so strange when people are like “can you do this or that?” Like I CAN do whatever I want. But I WANT to honor God so I don’t always do what I may want to do in the moment. I was raised christian and I was a very horny teenager and ended up have sexual relationships with guys up until a little while before I started talking to the man I ended up marrying. He lead me so well and didn’t even kiss me until we’d been dating for a month lol because he’d been in relationships too that had been ruined by stuff like that and he didn’t wanna mess what we had going up. So we waited until we got married. And I can honestly say the sexual relationships that I had before him added absolutely nothing to my life. I’m fact they only subtracted from me. I’d become so obsessed with the guy that I didn’t have time to think about anything else. I got horrible grades. Wasted my time in college and wasted my time on the guys when I could’ve been deepening my relationship with God and my friendships with other women. So no, I don’t think you’ll lose out on anything by not having sex before marriage. Honestly, sex really isn’t that big of a deal. Life is so much more than sex

I feel shame for my young, naive self, not fully grasping what p*rn was and watching it and learning bad things from it. Unfortunately, when I first watched it, I was young and had no idea what it was. I just knew it made me feel a certain way. I let those temptations in and it has been six years. During that time, I’ve weaned off of it and get utterly disgusted thinking about it now (THANK GOD!!) But…I still get the temptations now and I’ve fallen back into the pit several times. I am so ashamed. Thankfully, the Lord has forgiven me. I make it my goal to flee from that sexual immorality once and for all. I will not let it taint the pure bed of marriage that I will experience one day. And I know the Holy Spirit strengthens me in the face of these temptations. I have felt like I cannot be pure anymore from the atrocities I have seen. But that is wrong. I pray (and would appreciate it if you could pray with me) that I will be completely free from these temptations and so strong that I will never yield to them again.

Waiting until marriage is better in the long run… but it’s also important to not expect your skills to go from zero to what you see on TV/movies… it’s a skill you’re going to have to learn together. So be prepared for the awkward and silly and even disappointing moments… but remember you’re supposed to be enjoying each other and showing care and love for each other. Keep your heart in the right place and you’ll figure it out without all the trauma and baggage of having hooked up with other people in the past.

[@agnesr.4664]

I've heard too many stories of those who did not wait and their "first time" usually wasn't that glamorous. And generally speaking, I believe one can be mature enough to not be triggered by those mockers. I bet with you - in a private moment they might even admit to you that they envy you. So, no need to let the world tell me subtly what I am supposed to do or not to be "relevant" or "cool". 😄 You better stick to your convictions and gift your vulnerability and intimacy to someone who has vowed to protect it. 🤷‍♀

whether it's the first time happens within or outside marriage, the plain fact is that first times aren't glamorous, they're awkward as hell and fact is that when done outside relationship there's a small panic that comes from not being able to attach yourself to that person who you had that first time connection with but in marriage that comfortability of knowing that no matter how awkward that first time was it was a moment that you shared solely with the person you'll spend your life with and you won't be panicked either coz your marriage vows will reassure you that you are free to be attached emotionally to this person

That's because they are al about sexual exploitation. No man goes to combine all his money in the same bank account as the woman he is dating 4 weeks in to determination whether they will be financially compatible. No man goes out and fosters a child 2 months in to determine whether they will be parentally compatible. So why does modern culture normalize having sex within the first few weeks of dating, especially as finances and kids are greater causes of divorce than sex? Sexual exploitation and gratification. But it is sanitized and glorified in media and those who point out the illogic are mocked.

I waited until marriage, and not gonna lie, the first time was really awkward. And the time after that. And the time after that. But I don't have any regrets.

It took a lot of work and communication. I had some unresolved sexual trauma that made things really difficult for a couple years. But isn't that sort of the point of marriage, to take care of one another and to learn to do that better over time? And it means more to both of us because we worked to get where we are.

The current environment does not encourage the attitude of becoming better together, instead it encourages looking for someone you think is better. As a result, many people already have the attitude of not wanting to learn and not caring for how their partners feel, blaming others when things go wrong and being generally selfish and touchy. Coming from that background, you can imagine why they worry about marrying someone who is not sexually compatible: because the idea of someone open to become compatible with you is really difficult to believe or to imagine.

[@jollygoodgordon5580]

Sadly many Christians are doing it for the wrong reasons. As a Christian, the number one reason to wait, is to honour God with your body.

So your thoughts matter too. Sexually immoral thought; which come. From looking with lust, are sinfull too.

My husband and I waited and we agree that it was one of the hardest and BEST decisions we have ever made! No regrets, totally worth it. We didn’t care about the expectation to have a long engagement. From meeting to marriage it was April-December 29th 2017. We knew we were right for each other and there was no need to wait longer. If Christians want to wait for their spouse you might have to break the “cultural standard” of dating and being engaged for years and years before you get married. It’s totally possible and totally worth it.

[@vivaeuropa]

This is a great comment. I was thinking the same thing, it doesn't make sense to wait 2-3 years like culture does until getting married. We have the Holy Spirits discernment to know if someone has truly devoted their life to Christ and born again. We can learn after a few dates if we share the same core values and beliefs. Then see how your lifestyles/ personalities mesh overall as well if they fit into your divine purposes God has showed you and if after some months it fits right then get married. If we're devoted to Christ we'll feel Christ convicting us if he doesn't approve of the person being our spouse. There's no reason to wait after that. Christians in the church generally say stuff like "But you need to have a big fight with them first to really know how they are" "People change after a while" All these fears that worldy relationships have to worry about because they think pragmatically and not spiritually.

True, once you get that first taste you'll keep going back for more and since out-of-marriage relationships don't always last it means that you'll eventually find yourself flowing through sexual relationships with different partners, doing it in marriage you'll get that certainty to put in all emotion and trust to who you're doing it with while not holding back much coz you know that where you are is a safe place

Why? Because sex is holy and God given, and I knew that I was committing atrocious sin in the eyes of God, even to the point of getting confused, and feeling ‘married’ to the women I’ve had sex with. Now I live with that regret and have broken relationships and am single as a result. Sex within marriage is more than just the pleasure of sex- which is great. But it’s the added bonus of responsibility, commitment, and procreation. We need to stop creating our own North Star where pleasure reigns supreme and remember what Jesus taught us. Pleasure does not equal holiness. Not even a little bit. God hates sin, please stop forgetting that fact people!!!

They aren't going to laugh when they get a spiritual spouse after sleeping around. It opens doors. Unfortunately, people don't know this.

[@Rubyy_22]

I can confirm this is true, this thing won’t leave me alone when I sleep. Disturbing

[@ceciliapistorius8321]

I've heard it's been proven that you're more likely to stay together for life if you don't move in together before marriage... almost like when you follow God's laws, life works out better 🤷‍♀️

[@Joe-tk8bn]

Yep, without god your marriage will fail. There are non-christian people who will wait until marriage and then the marriage ends up failing, because they don't have a relationship with Jesus.

[@zielona_trawa6501]

I'm 23, married this year. We were both virgins. It wasn't great from the start, but it was worth waiting, we have built a strong relationship.

[@elilundgreen]

This isn't even a matter of which feels better. The point is that sex outside of marriage is a sin, and it always has been. It's not about what's going to make YOU feel better, about what will pleasure YOU more. People keep acting like this is just some sort of decision for couples to make, like it's a matter of what you prefer. This isn't about you. This is about God. And making fun of someone for not committing a SIN is evil and disgusting. Sex outside of marriage is always immoral, because it is always sin. Period.

[@FrizziExRose]

I didn't wait and it's one of the greatest regrets of my life. I didn't need "practice" or to know what my husband was like beforehand. I wish I had just waited for my husband. I could've avoided so many more compounding sins if I had. We fit because we talk about what we want from each other and we find intimacy in other areas. What we have is special because of our foundation in marriage and our respect for each other. We didn't need a test drive.

[@Stop_Motion_Hub]

My main goal that comes to mind is purity and not being hypocritical. I want a pure girlfriend that isn’t sexually or was sexually active. One that hasn’t been exposed to porn or anything like that. However if I was sexually actively or am, then I am a hypocrite

[@monkeyming5545]

I think what’s crazy is the fact couples who waited till marriage reported having happier and more satisfying relationships because they built more communication and trust

[@uke7084]

Been married 10 years. We were eachothers firsts and we waited for the honeymoon. No regrets.

[@TrustChrist777]

“Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” ‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

2nd Timothy is a forgery.

[@paolarocha5992]

Imagine people making fun of you for choosing to forego the attachment issues, heartbreak, risks of unplanned pregnancy, STDs, and immorality that come from nonmarital sex. Unbelievable! 🙄

[@timetravlin4450]

I didn’t wait and I regret it. So it can both ways. I was blind but now I see.

[@cloverscactus4796]

As someone who made that mistake once, the best thing anyone can do is to wait till marriage or even re-wait

[@marshimeak1972]

How does one rewait?

[@cloverscactus4796]

@@marshimeak1972 first if all, repentance, forgiveness and prayer should become your best friend. Know your triggers/boundaries. Be clear about the boundaries you're setting and a rule of thumb I use is to set boundaries that will get you as far away from the sin as possible. Don't walk the line and see how much y'all can get away with without sinning. Avoid hanging out in bed/laying down together, as well as being completely alone till late at night. I had a teacher once advise me to watch the way we kissed. The way which you kiss/make out can depend on whether things sometimes leads in "forbidden" territories, so try to keep it in a good area. If anything online triggers you, make a note of it and scroll/delete/unfollow it/them.

This is why we don't listen to the world when it comes to Life and reality. I'm a 22 year old teacher's assistant and Christian Apologist who's been a virgin even in high school and college within the past 8 years and I'm glad I chose to be abstinent and faithful to The Lord God in small things as He's always been faithful in His Will, Character and Word. I really appreciate this guy's Christ centered and Scripturally accurate content for the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏❤️👊. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant

[@karisgranger6013]

I love the thing you pointed out about the car analogy. I always thought it was a very short-sighted thing when people said "you gotta test drive the car before you buy it." It really doesn't correlate to relationships. Cars are inanimate objects. Human beings are not. Cars can't be heart-broken. People can. Cars cannot experience deep emotional, spiritual, and physical regret. People can. Cars are used to serve people's needs and then thrown away when they can no longer do so. Human beings are not meant for that. Cars don't have feelings. People do. You can't compare a human body with an inanimate object. Humans are not possessions. That's objectification.

This is why it’s so important surrounding yourself with other God fearing people that understand. I refuse to date or marry a man that isn’t a Christian💯

I have never met someone in real life who waited that regretted waiting. They are always happy with the choice to wait. I have yet to meet someone who regretted waiting for marriage.
