I have not been Christian all my life. It is only since meeting
my boyfriend over a year ago that I have started practicing
Christianity and learning more and more. Though, the entire
relationship with my boyfriend, we've been sexually active.
Stop (Eph 4:28).
Him and I have both been with other people before we met each
other. Since knowing the Lord more and more recently, every day
I am feel I am cast into this shadow of shame.
1 Jn 1:9
I wish almost every day that my family was Christian growing up
so that I could've saved myself for my husband. I feel so
tainted and unworthy.
If you are in Christ, you are a new creation (2 Co
5:17).
I know I have a choice to have that relationship, and I really
want it. I am just extremely nervous on how to tell this young
man I'm dating that I want to stop having sex.
Are you old compared to him?
A cougar?
He identifies as Christian. He is the reason I started knowing
the Lord. I pray for courage and the words to say almost every
day. I pray that his response will be positive and that he will
embrace it with me.
Christians do not live lives habitually in sin (1 Jn
3:9). He’s a liar (1 Jn 2:4).
…I feel like this is a safe space and I honestly just need
encouragement and prayer.
You’ve spent enough time being mastered by your
feelings (Lk 6:46). Do right. Risk the consequences.

God forgives and He forgets!
This promise is not for you: As far as the east is from the west, so far
has he removed our transgressions from us (Ps 103:12).
God forgives men when they repent not before (Acts 2:37, 38). Yours is a false
gospel (Gal. 1:6-12, Jud 4).

Zip it!
Should fornicators
repent?
Acts 2:37, 38
God forgives you when you ask...
Without your: turning (Acts 9:35), repenting (Acts 8:22) and returning (1 Sam.
7:3)?

Do not mix my words and yours.
I quote you exactly (Eph 4:14).
God forgives when you ask.
Yours (2 Pe 2:1) is a false gospel (Gal. 1:6-12) which
excludes repentance (Acts 2:37, 38).
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso
confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy [Prov. 28:13].
"This is a great proverb. It seems a common practice
today for Christians to try to cover their sins. You will find in the average
church that there is a Band–Aid of silence wrapped over the cancer of sin.
People don’t like to talk about it; in fact, they don’t admit its existence.
They like to think they are very good. But we are told here, “But whoso
confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” And we have the New Testament
version of this in 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” This does
not refer to a public confession of sin; confession is between you and the Lord,
and sin should be dealt with. Trying to appear sinless before your little group
of friends is a big mistake. If you confess and forsake your sin, you shall have
mercy. How wonderful!" McGee, J. V. (1991). Thru the Bible commentary: Poetry
