[@DearFutureWifey]

This is my first time watching this podcast. I love that we're finally having these conversations as believers. James is so balanced in his perspective while using the Word to confirm it. The WOG to the left of him spoke a Word that will heal those who demonize their bodies. Everyone brought up good points. I think there were enough nuggets dropped for various people to extract what is needed according to their individual walk. We're all at different stages.

[@DearFutureWifey]

@@BeautyForAshesOilOfJoy In no way have I promoted sin. Clearly, you don't know a thing about me. If you're referring to the lie Tony stated I said during our phone call, it wasn't the truth. If you're referring to my confession about falling off my abstinent journey every 7-8 months, Matthew 7:5 - You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. The fact you omit my heart and stints of abstinence, let's me know the spirit in which you're operating. People like you are the reason Christians fear transparency, due to your judgment. I'm submitted to God and my pastoral leadership, so please pray for consistency in my area of weakness. Paul writes in Romans 7:19-25, "For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin."

Amen. Won't he do it? I've never been interedted to even try masturbation, and I am 8 years abstinate after divorce, and I wasn't abstinent before marriage (and I accepted Christ at 6 yrs old and have always been an active member in church)😂 However, back then, 100% total submission and commitment to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit was not my choice back then. Also, I did not have a personal relationship with God, but now I do. I pray and talk to him throughout each day. I read His Word. I listen to messages from His Word daily, I listen to the Daily Bread and Word for the Day, and to a message on the pray app daily. It is a choice and just as college students commit to studying, homework, projects, study hall, tutors, paying college tuition, etc., our choice to be a Christian means doing what is necessary to succeed in every area that Chrsitianity calls us to show up in. I DO things to ensure I have been able to be successful in my abstinence journey these 8 years. I haven't had a man in my home nor gone to a man's home in these 8 years (I haven't been in a relationship during this time). I don't plan to do that until I am well into a committed relationship with a man who also has committed his life and body to God and we both know and understand and agree that spending time at each other's homes does not involve any activities that would incite lust and lead to fornication, i.e. always before dark, only watching sports and other clean shows and movies, helping do around the house on doing projects together, etc. The same way we sacrifice to make millions of dollars, have millions of followers online, be debt free, etc., we HAVE to have an even more zeal for the THINGS OF GOD. And I can attest that this walk the last 8 years of committing to do my life God's way, has been the best 8 years of my life, more peace than I've ever known, heart filled with joy, ability to forgive instantly and never hold a grudge, eve when I know people are deliberately trying to hurt me. I now can show them love even in the midst of that treatment from them. And it most times changes their negative treatment of me. They see a light in me (the Holy Spirit, of course), and it brings calmness and peace to that situation. The negative ends of falling away, and if nothing else, there is a respect that forms between us. We may do and see things differently, but there doesn't have to be animosity from one side. Man, I wish I could really express what being totally sold out and committed and submitted to God does for us. The things you think you might miss that give you pleasure now,see, smoking, drinking, cursings, vulgar music, portn, etc. YOU WON'T MISS IT!!!! Why, because when you fill those things with God's love, His Word, serving others for nothing in return, talking about Jesus to others when God puts that on your heart, giving up gossiping, criticizing others and being caught up in the negatives of others and life in general, man yoy will experience life lime you never imagined and it will be AMAZING. Yes, it may take time for you to get there, but you have to make a 100% commitment to do it, to even have the opportunity to see it co e to pass. Anyway, God's way, living submitted to Him and to 100% please Him is worth it more than any worldly pleasure the devil dangles in front of us. Anyone, I encourage you, no matter what struggles you are dealing with now, God can change you!!!! The Holy Spirit will be there daily as you walk it out, and Jesus died to give us this opportunity. Don't let Jesus' death that He died for You, be in vain.

When you have sex before marriage, you give the enemy a LEGAL right to wreck your marriage. Period. When you leave God's boundaries, don't expect His protection. Most believers don't truly understand how the spirit realm works. If people truly understood, they would RUN from sexual immorality. The Word clearly says the sexual immoral will not inherit the Kingdom of heaven. This means if you die in the sin, you will miss heaven, no matter how much of a Christian you claim you are.

Thank you so much to the gentleman who made the first comment. Why do black churches never vet their speakers/counselor/deacons etc. People should be approved workman unto the Lord before they are given positions of authority. Money, fame, education, looks, etc. do not mean a person is qualified to represent the kingdom. And this habit of bringing up other people's sin as a way of downplaying our own is tired. Never confront your own sin by starting with "I know other people who..." Take accountability, s*x before marriage is wrong, acknowledge that you are stubborn to repent and are choosing the world over the gospel. There are men who are weak in the faith and will walk out of there, clinging to nothing but Anthony's words. That is how we become a mockery in front of the world.

This is a good example of how many people can hear one thing and yet hear many different things. Anthony O’Neal was in fact a PASTOR (so he knows the higher calling of leadership in the Word) b4 at least and he said I’m not saying this as a Pastor, etc. just a Believer which is biblically incorrect. It is also difficult and hypocritical to speak on Christian principles but openly say I’m just not going to submit myself in this area but do better in other areas. Then on top of that say essentially that the Women can lead you to wait. It is clear that he is Not “waiting” for his wife and both him and Latteras have joked several times in the past about fornicating. How can a woman treat you as a potential husband/ leader if he continues in perversion unrepentant heart joking and making light of it? He used the last half of his comments to make it seem like somehow virgins are worse off than him - that is not a Christian or a mature response that would even help encourage those who are in submission in those areas/ have a repentant heart. It would be confusing to new Believers especially and could cause them to stumble. Christian Women have to have better discernment and just stop listening to them on relationships.

He's so out of line that the accountability seems lacking or he chooses not to listen to wise counsel.

[@broco6608]

So out of line. AO sounds like a straight up fornicating heathen with every intention of laying up and sleeping around.

[@trusting2340]

I was so blessed and encouraged by The commitments and submission of your bodies to Christ. Thank you for the decision to commit/submit your body to Christ. Not looking for excuses. I loved this accountability that you all are having. I appreciate the honesty of all of you. This helps in other areas of our lives too.🙏🏽 Glory to God!!!🙌🏾

The woman I had sex with before I got married to, I’ve been married to her for 35 years now, but it wasn’t right. Thank God for His grace and forgiveness!

[@Missbreeadams]

If AO doesn’t have the discipline to abstain as a single man, he won’t have the discipline to be faithful in marriage.

[@GirlYoureWorthy]

Some just choose sin. Some just really don’t want to be delivered. Some just don’t have the faith/ believe to be healed 🎉🎉🎉 GET KNEE DEEP WITH GOD. CHOOSE HIM, SUBMIT TO HIM.

Bottom line is the scripture says to abstain from fornication .Can you do this?( yes) My wife and have been married 40 years no premarital sex both of us raised in the church that would be the old school church. Through out our 40 years the Lord has kept us through up,s and downs are most devastating moment was when we were $420,000 in debt with only $93.00 to our name during that time he kept us. Fast forward to today we are debt free. Also during our 40 years no affair’s . Why ?because we made a commitment I love ❤️ my girl we are both heading towards 70 years old. I never wanted to be an embarrassment to the her or the body of Christ. Mr Anthony is walking a thin line nothing wrong with keeping it real but don’t lose your soul in the process. Great podcast young people keep it up

[@Officialpriscillajackson]

Wow an entire panel that waited until marriage for marriage I commend you all 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I’m devoted to waiting until marriage as well it’s AWESOME to run across a group of people wholeheartedly walking this walk thank you for sharing it’s SO NEEDED!!!!

[@TheFearlessBabe]

One of them didn’t wait

[@AngelOwl24]

If I said how long it's been since I first started abstaining from fornication, no one would believe me. But I fear God and can attest that God will keep you when you really want to be kept and this is coming from someone who had my fair share of sex with my first teen love, who I thought I could never do without. Yet after rededicating my heart to God, He led me to monitor the music I listened to, the magazines and books I read, and the film and tv I watched. I found this to be half, if not most, of the battle. You can't keep listening, watching and reading about sex and expect not to feel drawn to it. Also, you have to set boundaries and be mindful of the company you keep. Sure, there's a chance we may stumble, but don't let anybody tell you it can't be done. Your desire to please God has to be greater than the sex to please yourself. You will get there if you remove the hindrances. Of course relationships with other like-minded believers, prayer and bible reading are expected, but sometimes it's the simple, practical things that can make a big difference. You certainly can't expect to be successful abstaining if you listen to what most people will tell you. You have to be willing to be different.

[@amberbrown2076]

The more excuses we make, the harder it will be! It’s a day-by-day choice. When you’re in a marriage covenant you choose to honor your spouse and your covenant daily. You don’t flirt with other people, you don’t put yourself in positions where it’s easy for you to cheat. The same goes for us as covenant people with Jesus - it’s a daily choice to die to self. Is it a perfect walk? Not by any means! But the more you practice telling your flesh no, the easier it will be. This is why fasting is important!

[@USmithExtraScooterSmithUIIICas]

I swear is anyone else who supposed to be followers of christ and know God getting sick and tired of people twisting the word or trying to live ways that they see fit but still claim they are really following christ and obeying God's word when clearly they do their own thing just taking parts and elements of God's word they agree and comfortable with while ignoring the parts they not amd compromising? What he said about it could be the right person even if you having sex before marriage fornicating which is sin and disobedience to God is not ok! Whether its the right person for you sent by God that DON'T mean you ok to have sex if you not married. God's word says do not fornicate dont have sex unless you are married so why take part of it and try to make it fit what you dont want to do to do what you want to make it seem ok then teach others that! Alot of people misleading people by using God's word or saying they Christian but not living a lifestyle like it. They just Christian as part of their life or label themselves that but being a Christian isn't their life above everything and who they are because christ isn't who they really living for they living for themselves. But people dont want to hear that especially just going to church only folk because they want the best of both the world and God's kingdom these days. You cant serve 2 masters and you cant still be the old you walking in your flesh and selfishness while preaching to everyone else what is ok and acceptable as a Christian when you not really like that! It needs ti stop and change before the church gets even worse! Whats next accepting someone having side pieces and baby mamas and daddies by other church members while you at the same church!

[@NazarofGod]

It is exhausting but on the bright side, the Light of Christ is shining in these times, separating the goats from the sheep, the wheat versus the tares. It is a blessing to see this period of separation. It allows the true Body of Christ to truly see who is in God's family, and who has been posing as belonging to the family. This split is great for in this season, it is clear who is for Christ and who isn't. And it simplifies our associations because when tares reveal themselves, you needn't have super discernment. We can spend less time seeking the Holy Spirit on clarity about such people because we can see and hear how they're drinking from broken cisterns and defiling the Body. It also gives us prayer points because we can see who are still blind on spiritual matters, that their eyes will be opened and they'll get a chance to repent before it's too late for them.

[@cadiliahaire1120]

The man said he wasn’t abstaining and he fell. He also said he was willing to do it

[@yamiyascott5455]

I'm so happy your talking about this topic. This is a major topic that people struggle with. People also struggling with secular music

[@user-uj1ye2cb9e]

Abstinence will assist with sexual discipline. I was a Christian virgin until age 29, My Christian ex husband and I Waited 5 years and still got divorced… abstinence alone will not guarantee marital or relationship success. Marriage is more than sexual discipline you must have relationship skills and commitment to each other. We divorced based on lack of forgiveness, inability to communicate and resolve conflict, and no compatibility beyond shared faith. Ask God to assist with sexual control but focus on other elements that make for healthy relationships overall. Love & blessings!

This is good sound advice.

All I'm going to say is, if you want to live contrary to the word for whatever reason, then say that. Keep THAT a buck. But don't then go on to justify and clarify and pretend that we don't know the Word and Who our covenant is really with. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@amarriglanton7845]

My husband and I had sex before marriage. But we broke up for an entire year due to disobedience. The lord showed me a vision. It was me and my husband and were demons sniffing there for an opening. My boyfriend at the time which is my husband now. The opening was sex. We took a break for deliverance separately and God brought us back together. Our first year of marriage was so difficult due to giving the enemy an opening. Our salvation is more than a temporary pleasure. It takes the Holy Spirit and constant denying our flesh in him. I love AO business mindset but will continue to pray for him. It’s sad how many people clapped versus holding him accountable in love. But someone may have done that behind the curtain. The lord created a women’s Bible study and we have real conversations like this and so much more. God created sex but when we have sex out of will! Omg does the enemy have access! Put your sexual desires in Christ!

[@makiebahatton2628]

I think y'all misheard it. I thought he said I have not abstained (as unto virginity) but I'm abstaining now even through my struggles.

[@ginagreeneofficial]

My ex husband and I did not even so much as kiss until our wedding day. I was not in the best place spiritually after leaving an abusive church and didn’t seek God‘s will so the marriage didn’t work out for other reasons (I’m biblically released), but God will keep you if you want to be kept. A lot of the trouble and “struggles” that we find ourselves in is not because sanctification is this long drawn out process but because we don’t want to put our bodies on the altar and let God burn up everything that’s not like Him. We don’t have to date like the world. Don’t ruin your appetite with a snack and forfeit the satisfaction that comes with doing things God’s way and waiting for His perfect timing. Stay strong man of God. Stay strong woman of God. God’s got you. 💛💛💛

Total nonsense… I wish people would just read the Bible and stop listening to “influencers” These people don’t live the life they claim & are a stumbling block to others.

He is financially successful and got too many options because of his money. Probably didn’t get attention before hand. Bless his heart! Like dude said, stop bringing these people on church panels! Giving people excuses to sin!

[@andreamsmithlive24]

While I believe that Anthony O’Neal was being transparent, to really elevate the conversation we should talk about the “marry before you burn” teaching. The church has had folks running to get married so that they won’t sin, while totally I prepared for marriage. God will keep us in all things if we desire to be kept.

[@JaimieNicole75]

There is definitely a lack of reverence and honor for God and His word in the body of Christ. Jesus is Savior(we recognize him for saving us from sin and hell) but not Lord of our lives where He has complete reign over everything. Hearts are not fully committed and surrendered. Who or what is sitting on the throne of our hearts? That must be examined on a daily! And if it’s anything other than God we must repent immediately. Submit to God…resist the devil…and he will flee! Great conversation!

He was justifying his sin. Paul tells us to flee from sexual immorality. We commit sin against ourselves. We need a revival of true holiness!

I agree with James. Every situation is not BLACK and WHITE and it’s not one size fits all. People are on different levels spiritually and have different experiences. So I do allow grace, compassion, and patience with people

[@rachaelmwine]

The language to not have sex before marriage is in the BIBLE. If we are true christians, following Christ and reading His word, our conviction to not have sex before marriage or any other sin should come from the bible and our relationship with the Lord.
