Reader Mabarosi Responds:
God Loves Sinners
From what I've learnt from my teachers and pastors at school,
and from the Bible, God loves you even though you sin.
Remember, Jesus died and rose to heaven to save us from
our sins. So as long as you believe that Jesus Christ was
the Son of God and after being crucified rose to heaven,
your sins will be forgiven.
I'm Not Sure If Premarital Sex Is a Sin
Having said this, I'm not sure if premarital sex IS a sin.
I haven't studied the Bible.
Personally, I don't believe it's a sin to have premarital
sex, but that the best sex is with someone you love (and
of course loves you too) and who you're committed to. The
Bible says that the best place for sex is in marriage. But
I dunno.
God Won't Hate You
Do what you feel is right. If you want to have sex, I don't
think that God is going to hate you. Nathan, you sound like
a very committed Christian, and good on you for that. We're
all sinners. You've probably been rude to your parents on
occasions, and have used profanity.
If you want to have sex, fine, have sex. Just don't hurt
anyone, and make sure you use protection.
