| 1 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?I read the teachings regarding not being of the world to mean that we are not to conform to the world despite having to live in it. Ultimately we must live in the world and that is an opportunity to be God's light to others. But we should not adopt its ways like hedonism and selfishness that are against God's nature. I do see the world as fallen and how in all of our human natures we cannot stop our selfish or emotional acts that end up hurting other people. Only through God can we live the way … | /r/RPChristians | 21/04/25 05:45 PM |
| 1 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?It occurred to me that you may have thought I was in part trying to reason not remaining abstinent until marriage. I could see how you came to that conclusion. My question was rhetorical. I strongly believe sex before covenant is a sin. | /r/RPChristians | 21/04/25 03:19 PM |
| 1 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?Thank you for sharing that. A few thoughts come to mind if you don't mind me sharing. What if part of the issue was demanding anything but a wife that we're attracted to who has submitted to Christ and His Word and loves the Lord? Is God true that He will provide what we need according to His Word? Though my understanding may be too simplistic and I appreciate from your post that the complexities of our relationship with Christ when based on "fundamental" Christianity however you experienced tha… | /r/RPChristians | 21/04/25 03:01 PM |
| 2 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?There's an interesting balance that is keeping with Christ. I would encourage my wife as you suggest but I'd be sure to do it in a loving and gentle way. I'd also make sure I'm fit and pray for the outcome I'm seeking. I wouldn't consider anyone a "loser" but I totally agree that the 300 lbs husband may need to make major changes in his life. I'm still very much forming these thoughts, so I don't claim to have the answers, but I try to be careful to keep God's Word in mind. | /r/RPChristians | 21/04/25 02:51 PM |
| 1 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?I want to fully embrace our role as men and leaders of our family and community. For myself, masculinity and being a warrior for Christ is part of that. | /r/RPChristians | 19/04/25 06:02 PM |
| 1 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?Christian masculinity means evaluating what that means for men who adhere to the commands of the Bible. You're misunderstanding the question. | /r/RPChristians | 19/04/25 06:00 PM |
| 2 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?I'm sorry to hear that. Would you mind elaborating on your circumstances. In a private message is fine if you prefer. I'm genuinely curious for understanding the challenges of our faith and following His commands. | /r/RPChristians | 19/04/25 05:59 PM |
| 3 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?Fleeing sexual immorality is a must. Addressing the problems comes after establishing that. The Lord will make a way. | /r/RPChristians | 19/04/25 05:56 PM |
| 3 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?You describe a very interesting situation in the church. Since I came from a sinful past I'm not familiar with it, but for those raised in the church I could see how that would be the case. I think the answer is encouraging activities that promote the real things that make us men e.g. strength, discipline, courage, competence along with adherence to Biblical truth. | /r/RPChristians | 19/04/25 05:55 PM |
| 2 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?This is great advice, thank you. I particularly second prayer. I was amazed how a regular prayer routine of thirty minutes a day increased my resistance to temptation, but then I read Matthew 26:41. It was spot on. | /r/RPChristians | 18/04/25 05:11 PM |
| 1 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?I agree entirely. I focused on the question of sex before marriage because I believe in the supernatural component that obeying God's Word will further bless that marriage and relationship. In addition to the guidance you write. Thank you. | /r/RPChristians | 18/04/25 05:07 PM |
| 4 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?I think a lot of these issues stem still being in their process of crucifying their flesh. God will change our tastes. I used to question how I would ever be satisfied with one woman, but after going on two years of committing myself to God including Bible study, prayer, worship, fasting and church attendance, my tastes have changed. Not saying it's complete by any means but I see how God will give us the right mindset to help with the problems you suggest. | /r/RPChristians | 18/04/25 05:04 PM |
| 3 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?I think many of these risk are true. But a key mitigator you mentioned is living the Bible believing lifestyle like attending church and other similar activities. Further, there is a supernatural element to it that God will help us find our match as He brought Eve to Adam. Not saying that your concerns shouldn't be considered, but that He will provide. Which for me leads me to lean deeper on my faith. | /r/RPChristians | 18/04/25 04:59 PM |
| 1 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?This is insightful. Thank you. Would you say that we must wait for marriage for sex then and if so what are your thoughts to address the concern for losing interest after sexual encounters. | /r/RPChristians | 18/04/25 02:53 PM |
| 8 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?That is a challenge I've found. I don't worry about being a prude because my desire is strong, but it's so easy to fall into lust when searching for a wife. Focusing on the fleshly desires. Learning to control that is the season I'm in now. | /r/RPChristians | 18/04/25 01:43 PM |
| 4 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?Amen. I'd add 1 Corinthians 7:9 which I read as only two choices, burn with lust or get married. | /r/RPChristians | 18/04/25 01:40 PM |
| 3 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?I'll take that as we should remain abstinent. I agree. | /r/RPChristians | 18/04/25 01:32 PM |
| 2 | Does Christian masculinity require born again Christian men to remain abstinent until marriage?Should not have sex before marriage or remain abstinent? | /r/RPChristians | 18/04/25 01:30 PM |
