(i really think that christian <I>adults</I> should recognize that any sex outside of marriage is a sin, ie., that it strays from the design and heart of God, and that in such cases there is such a thing as shame. but we shouldn't over-emphasize shame or sin. but, ha-ha, that never happens with christians!)<BR/><BR/>i think that the option that lauren winner puts her finger on - that chastity (sex in marriage) is a spiritual discipline and should be practiced as an outpouring of our relationship with God and with other christians (the Body is a temple, not just yours or mine), not just as a sin or voyeuristic ("stay out of my business!") issue.<BR/><BR/>that's a start.jasdyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492591447246532970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126432.post-72514493428300530872007-08-09T21:37:00.000-05:002007-08-09T21:37:00.000-05:00Being still single and waiting it disheartens me w...Being still single and waiting it disheartens me whenever I meet a young woman and they have had so much more experience than I did.

I'm just not seeing either teenage marriages or "true love waits" as viable alternatives for most young people. I know what the Bible says and I believe it is the best way but the article (perhaps inadvertantly) points out one huge issue in this area of discussion.
