How many times have you had sex?

[Tibertus]

Not really. There are a gazillion "christianities" each with their own interpretation.

The main idea behind Christianity is that belief in Christ as the son of God will absolve your sins. That's pretty much the main requirement right there. If someone doesn't believe that, I wouldn't call them a Christian.

That's quite early man.

We were together for nearly 5 years... Seemed a reasonable course of action

Never. Sex before marriage is a sin, meaning that it will stop you from entering into heaven. Who with any rationality would give up an eternity in the LORD's presence for a brief three and a half minutes of pleasure?

Sin is great man... and are we talking, early Christian Sin, Jewish sin, Hindu Sin... What kind of sin are we working with?

I'm happy things are working for you. Not everyone gets that opportunity.


Out of curiosity, is Ash your name as well, or is the birthday in the name the only truth about you?

 

[ash12181987]

No, Ash is the only thing I could decide on to put in front of aforementioned birthday... one universal Screenie, you gotta put thought into these things afterall.

 

[Magorian Aximand]

Ah, too bad.

Nope. That's the main idea for some branches, not all. Don't they teach this **** at schools where ever you went to school.

**** Ilex, my point was that no branch of Christianity requires someone to be completely without sin. They all offer some form of salvation.

Exactly, there's no 'main idea' - rather different interpretations based on relatively similar sources of evidence - for example the figure of Jesus is usually represented as a prophet rather than a part of God in Islamic texts. Or are you claiming to know every person's views on one of the central cultural movements in Eurasia over the last two millennia? In any case, my opinions on the matter generally agree with this pastor and this group's message.

Well, no major branch...

 

[Lizard_man]

I cocked up and thought it meant people. so vote says 6-10, but thats people. I'd guess somewhere around the 20-50 mark.

hmm, i did the same thing....

Okay, from that article:

"According to the New Testament, this salvation is a gift from God that anyone may receive by exercising faith in Christ and repenting for their sin.[Acts 20:21]"
(emphasis mine)

Nothing about "not sinning", because the Bible says it's physically impossible:
"For there is none righteous, no not one.  There is none who does good, there is none who seeks after God."
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
"All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags."

A...lot. I've been in a steady relationship for 2 years on Thursday, so it goes without saying we have a lot of sex.

 

[Dryvus]

I thought there was already a virgin thread.

 

[Amroth]

If you look at the votes in the poll, a majority were saying they have had sex.  So this isn't a virginity thread, even if you'd like to assume a majority of the posters on this forum are.

Hrm.  I'd say around 30-40.  Haven't kept track.  But been in a relationship for 10 months and we've been fairly busy early on.  Although it has been winding around a bit. 

 

[Dryvus]

So you weren't around for the first thread.

 

[kiarj]

Been a year with my fiancee and we're both fairly active so, at a wild guess...

About 7 times per day x 3 days = 21

We see each other each 2 weeks or so, so 21 x 26 = 546

So that's around 550-600, I'd say. Double that for obscures reason I'd rather not discuss in longueur, and I pass the thousand!

... Sweet Jesus (because I'm totally a christian, too!)

 

[Tibertus]

Somehow, I think you're lying.

 

[kiarj]

Somehow, I think you're lying.

I know! Yet it is pretty real. Unless I miscounted, but that was an average. I'll ask her for confirmation, heh!

 

[italiano]

I would like to add one more experience to the list, but I can't be bothered to go out, and honestly, I only feel like a single happy before rolling over and going to sleep.

 

[Merlkir]

My group is winning! Yaaaaaay!
