Please help me with my dilema (moral, virgin, pray, blessing)

[Alien_Youth]

I would like to ask everyone to pray for me. I did something that I feel so bad about on the weekend. I had premarrital sex. I had been a virgin up until then (I'm 20 years old). I really do care for the person I made love to but at the same time I feel like I failed God in not being able to offer him the gift of a pure soldier in his army of christians anymore. The other thing that is bothering me is that the person I made love to is not a christian, she follows the wiccan religion and in some ways it bothers me because it feels like I'm giving away part of myself to something that I see as being somewhat of an occult and therefore evil (I'm not passing judgement on any wiccans here it's just my own thoughts that I have been having maybe it's just because I feel bad I'm unsure on this). I would just like to ask for your prayers that I may be able to see a clear path and a cleansed heart and concience on this matter.

God Bless,

Alien Youth

I love premarital sex, however, I pray the gods will teach you justice and humility. I pray you will learn to honor your gods and their morality. I pray you will learn to be who you dream to be. I have faith that you will.

I'll remember you in my prayers tonight. Everyone makes mistakes. Just remember that the atonement of Christ is real and repentance is real. You will never be able to take back what has happened, but you can be forgiven if you are willing to make the changes in your life that are necessary. Good luck with your journey.

Try remembering that, as for the other person, their path shouldn't enter into it. This is between you and yourself and you and your god. While I'm not a Christian, I do celebrate their god and he's a loving and forgiving one. I will be doing my own version of prayer that your feelings are healed.

I can't answer your christian questions for you, but I can tell you that finding a woman of another religion is a blessing in disguise for your at the moment. Religious tolerance is the greatest gift humanity can give to itself. You obviously feel for this woman and can tell by being with her that she is not evil but just different in her belief system. I hope you explore the option of understand her religion before you assert the option of cutting yourself off from one non-christian and/or eventually all non-christians.

as long as you love her, and she loves you back, there is nothing wrong without. god will forgive you, if he sees your intentions.

As fluffy as you sometimes come off... you have an equal amount of depth, reason and beauty.

Any relationship between two adults doing no harm to each other or society is not high on my list of moral concerns.

I doubt if God looses much sleep over it either.

I will pray for you Alien_Youth but I think that if you are truly sorry and God is infinitely forgiving then if you have done anything wrong, he will not view you as a failure no matter how much you feel you have failed him.

Many young people today are taught to be frightened of the SIN of sex before marriage.
for me It barely reaches the margines of being a sin. If you have broken a vow That may well be a sin, for which you must repent.
Morals are not about sex, though sex is included in some peoples view of morals.
God is about Love. God does not frown on True expressions of love.
But be clear in your own mind what relationships mean to you, before you consumate them.
But be equally clear about all your moral values. Did you take vows about them? Why not?
Casual sex is not so much a sin, as disrespect for yourself and for your partners.
If you truly want a lasting relationship to express your love for each other, fine.
Love and respect each other and this can include sex.
Sex with out love and respect could be sinful.

If you truly love her stay faithful to her.
Sort your mind out, and my prayers go with you and your friend.

Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.
