Because we can get it from the other 1% means we should rule out sex then i mean it's not as if half the HIV population got it through sex or anything. They probably all got it from needle Your chances of catching HIV isn't as high as you think.

My Brother, I agree with you 100%. We are all humans and we don't need to deceive ourselves. To be holy, you have to seriously make up your mind and be determined not to entertain lustful thoughts. They'll surely come, sometimes they'll be injected by demons. Read "He Came To Set The Captives Free" by Rebecca Brown. The thought ground is the battle field for your Soul. "If an hired assassin (that is all out to kill you) that you've warned about is knocking at your door, would you allow him in and start entertaining him?!" Till we start seeing lustful thoughts for what they truly are (hired Assassins), we'll keep falling into sexual sins. I'm composing a very deep and eye-opening write-up on how I've managed to keep lustful thoughts from entering my mind. He that conquered an enemy is victorious, he that conquered a city is great, but he that conquered himself/herself is the Greatest of All; eternally great.

Re: How To Be Sexually Pure by EternalBeing: 3:11pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
Question: "Why is sexual purity so important?" Answer: God gave man and woman the joy and pleasure of sexual relations within the bounds of marriage, and the Bible is clear about the importance of maintaining sexual purity within the boundaries of that union between man and wife ( Ephesians 5:31 ). Sexual purity is NOT impossible, if make a determination to be, you shall be. Get the Books at the end of this write up. There are good reasons for young men and women to remain pure until they get married: •Sexual purity protects a person from STDs such as HIV AIDS, Staph, etc... •Sexual purity protects one's hope for eternal life. Sexual purity increases the moral climate of society and friends. •Sexual purity for a single is wonderful training for the foundation of a beautiful marriage. • Sexual purity protects a single from great sexual frustration. •Sexual activity can hurt your body in major ways! •Sex messes up your dates. •Being sexually active leads to a reputation that diminishes your better associations. •Sex before marriage is not consistent with true love. •Previous sexual activity will hurt your marriage and children. •Your body is not yours to do with as you may please. •Sexual immorality leads to eternal death. Humans are well aware of the pleasing effect of this gift from God but have expanded it well beyond marriage and into virtually any circumstance. The secular world’s philosophy of “if it feels good, do it” pervades cultures, especially in the West, to the point where sexual purity is seen as archaic and unnecessary. Yet look at what God says about sexual purity. “You should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God. . . . For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life” ( 1 Thessalonians 4:3–5 , 7). This passage outlines God’s reasons for calling for sexual purity in the lives of His children. First, we are “sanctified,” and for that reason we are to avoid sexual immorality. The Greek word translated “sanctified” means literally “purified, made holy, consecrated [unto God].” As Christians, we are to live a purified life because we have been made holy by the exchange of our sin for the righteousness of Christ on the cross and have been made completely new creations in Christ ( 2 Corinthians 5:17–21 ). Our old natures, with all their impurities, sexual and otherwise, have died, and now the life we live, we live by faith in the One who died for us ( Galatians 2:20 ). To continue in sexual impurity (fornication) is to deny that, and doing so is, in fact, a legitimate reason to question whether we have ever truly been born again. Sanctification, the process by which we become more and more Christlike, is an essential evidence of the reality of our salvation. We also see in 1 Thessalonians 4:3–5 the necessity of controlling our bodies. When we give in to sexual immorality, we give evidence that the Holy Spirit is not filling us because we do not possess one of the fruits of the Spirit—self-control. All believers display the fruit of the Spirit ( Galatians 5:22–23 ) to a greater or lesser degree depending on whether or not we are allowing the Spirit to have control. Uncontrolled “passionate lust” is a work of the flesh ( Galatians 5:19 ), not of the Spirit. So controlling our lusts and living sexually pure lives is essential to anyone who professes to know Christ. In doing so, we honor God with our bodies ( 1 Corinthians 6:18–20 ). We know God’s rules and discipline reflect His love for us. Following what He says can only help us during our time on earth. By maintaining sexual purity before marriage, we avoid emotional entanglements that may negatively affect future relationships and marriages. Further, by keeping the marriage bed pure ( Hebrews 13:4 ), we can experience unreserved love for our mates, which is surpassed only by God’s enormous love for us. other Benefits of Sexual Purity as a Young Man/Woman One: Your relationship with God. Your relationship with God will benefit from you honoring God and obeying Him. It’s clear from God’s Word that you should be sexually pure. Two: You’ll have a better wife. Choosing to honor God now will filter out potential matches who aren’t so interested in honoring God. If your girlfriend now chooses to be faithful to God alongside you, then it is a good indicator that she is obeying God because she truly loves Him and wants to grow in her relationship with Him. she is not just trying to please you. If she is faithful now, she’ll be faithful twenty years from now. Three: No guilt and shame. We all struggle with guilt and shame to some degree, but you won’t be struggling with it concerning your sexual purity if you choose to obey God and practice sexual purity. It’s worse to be someone claiming to pursue God who intentionally doesn’t honor God than it is to be someone who doesn’t pursue God at all and is honest about it. Four: Credibility. You won’t lose it! This includes the credibility you have right now but also the credibility you’ll have in the future in instructing younger people–perhaps even your own children–on this very same topic. Five: Establish headship in your future marriage. Christian men are called to be the head of the home. This isn’t about privilege, but about answering to God first for the marriage and family’s health. Start taking headship now by honoring God in your life and relationships. This will have long-term benefits for your life and your eventual marriage. Recommended Resource: Why True Love Waits by Josh McDowell .

Re: How To Be Sexually Pure by MrObontami(m): 3:40pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
EternalBeing: When you are sexually pure, you prepare yourself to make and keep sacred covenants in the temple. You prepare yourself to build a strong marriage and to bring children into the world as part of an eternal and loving family. You protect yourself from the spiritual and emotional damage that come from sharing sexual intimacy outside of marriage. You also protect yourself from harmful diseases. Remaining sexually pure helps you to be confident and truly happy and improves your ability to make good decisions now and in the future. When you fall in love, it's natural to want to express your love in physical ways. But you also know God wants you to remain sexually pure—in both your actions and your thoughts. Sometimes it's a tough balance, but showing love for another while remaining pure is possible. Here are some suggestions:
[s] 1) Keep innocent expressions special[/b]. Rather than making the innocent expressions a mere prelude to the "heavier stuff," make the most of them. Let holding hands mean something. Express tenderness by simply putting your arms around each other. Make sure a kiss communicates true feeling and isn't just the first step to further physical involvement.
2) Pace your passion. Every marathon runner knows that you don't use up your energy at the beginning of the race; you need most of it at the end. Pacing your passion means that you realize you're trying to remain pure all the way to your wedding day. It's OK to express your love in little ways, but don't start messing with the package that is sex. To get really practical, avoid French kissing and petting—anything that is sure to ignite the fires of passion.
3) Don't feed your fantasies. It's normal to think about sex sometimes. In fact, with the way advertising and Hollywood exploit sex, it would be impossible not to think about it. So choose your entertainment carefully. Soap operas, certain songs, books, television shows, movies and Web sites only turn up the pressure. Feeding your thought life with junk only makes it harder to remain pure in your actions.
4) Remember whose property you're touching. You do not own the person you're dating. That person belongs to God. Imagine there's a sign on everyone you date that reads: PROPERTY OF JESUS
5) Make a promise to God, and daily renew your commitment. Decide where you're going to draw the line, and tell God that with his help, you are not going to cross that line until marriage. Don't commit to it unless you mean it, though. The Bible says it's a serious thing to make a vow to God. At the same time, realize that you can't stick to your promise without his help. That's why it's important to renew your commitment daily .
6) Acknowledge Jesus' presence on every date. Before a date, it's normal to spend a lot of time getting ready. After all, you want to look your best. But you also want to make sure you're spiritually prepared. So spend at least as much time in prayer as you do in front of a mirror. As it says in Proverbs 3:6: "Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths."
7) Agree on your standards. Before sex becomes an issue in the relationship, talk about your standards with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Don't dwell only on the negative—what you won't do. Hebrews 10:24 tells us to "encourage one another to outbursts of love and good deeds." Discuss ways your friendship can help each of you become a better person.[/s]

Am surprised to see that Proverbs 4:34 was absent in ur write up. Its says "guide your ♥ heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of Life". All acts and action be it good or bad are first conceived in the heart before it is expressed by the individual. There is no action that does not comes from the heart. All sexual fantasy and urge to engage in sexual act all emanate from the Heart . its not the sexual organ nor the hormone. but the heart.
To stay pure sexually as a man or woman , Christian or Muslim, you must first deal with the issue of the Heart. When David fell into sexual sin, what he pleaded for was a change of heart . he said "create in me a clean heart". until the heart if a man is clean no matter how disciplined he seem to be on the outside hardly will such a person be pure sexually. 1 Like |

You cannot learn sexuality from an inexperienced guy. i disagree.... having your sexual fantasies fulfilled does not mean sexual purity.. people have died all in the name of sexual fantasy... people have been killed all in the name of sexual fantasy... some people fantasize about r.aping someone.. some people fantasize about choking their partner while releasing... those acts are barbaric and can never equate to sexual purity 1 Like |
