@paulbunyan6024 Yes, the point is that just like devil can pose as the angel of light, some very very evil people can pose as children of God and followers of Christ Jesus. It's only from their fruits that you will recognise them (with passing time). This doesn't mean that TRUE believers in the Lord do not fall short, they do but they have an intrinsic (imparted by Holy Spirit) desire to be holy as God is holy. And they toil for it, in pain and failures, to bring glory to His name.
I will trust that anyone is made new until they show or tell me otherwise. I.e. give them the benefit of doubt. It is not my place to judge someoneâs salvation.
@terryaucoin4708 that's sad that you've been turned away comparing the ALMIGHTY to a fictional character just have two passages to share "Deny me in front of your friends I'll deny you in front of my father!" JESUS CHRIST In reality the truth of God is known instinctively. For he embedded that knowledge on every human heart! So if you think he's fake you've been deceived brother ask JESUS to show you the way I pray you find your way to him!! No human should go to hell all GLORY TO THE TRINITY THE FATHER THE SON AND HOLY SPIRIT
Look up focus on the family and divorce rates when it comes to this kind of thing. Its more of a mental spiritual thing. Not saying Christ cant or wont heal that but most often those memories are not forgotten.
Yes, I would. High body count is just that. Itâs discernment, not necessarily discrimination. New or not, I donât wanna wife someone whoâs been run through a hundred times.
â@@fuju7871 In my opinion he's undermining how serious this is. He's not wrong in what he's saying but it's foolish to say that this doesn't matter. Look at the divorce rate.
@@Vincent-yp1gj Yep. I may not want to marry someone who is suffering from those consequences. If someone marries a former prostitute, you better believe that their marriage bed is not going to be smooth. Some people can't or don't want to go through that.
â@@misspriss2482I wish more people would accept this/get this. Like i get why someone would reject me but i couldnt be mad at them. I believe both parties should be happy. Not just one
Exactly. There are plenty of genuinely saved Christians that are obese or overweight. That doesn't mean they still won't suffer the health consequences of it.
I worry about this a lot beings I've slept with 18 people but I did it when I was young in high school before I was 20 I got saved around my 19th birthday so my past sucks it's hard to get over it the devil comes to make you feel worthless anytime he can
What does God say in His word? *2 Corinthians 5:17 King James Version* "aÂčâ·Therefore *if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature:"* Don't stop reading, look at what the next phrase.. *"bÂčâ·old things are PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL THINGS are become NEW."* Did you read that right? NOT SOME. *ALL.* IF THE ENEMY KEEPS REMINDING YOU ABOUT YOUR OAST REMIND HIM ABOUT HIS FUTURE. *REVELATION 20:10 Âčâ°And the devil who had deceived them was hurled into the lake of fire and burning brimstone (sulfur), where the beast (Antichrist) and false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night, forever and EVER."* Always remember that the word of God calls us *"fearfully and wonderfully made"* and that includes *YOU* dear.

I agree with this for the most part. Iâm someone that has a âpastâ & while I am a new creation in Christ- I am not a virgin. I canât get that back. I canât be angry at someone if I share my past with them & they lovingly tell me thatâs not what they want. We tell people the truth to honor God & also to respect the other person. A virgin has the right to turn someone with a âpastâ down, once it is done in love. I have to respect their choice. But they should never try to make us feel like weâre less than them by adding insults to their rejection. All born again believers are saved by grace through faith when we repent; we arenât saved based on our body counts. It is good to abstain until marriage, but unfortunately I messed up there already. Some believers wonât care because they understand that they may not have the same past but they are still guilty of sin. Other believers will because of personal preference & I think thatâs fine. Again, once itâs done in love & not scorn or unrighteous judgment. Hope this makes sense lol.
I see what you mean, but don't ever let that fact make you feel like you aren't any specialâ€. Even by reading through your comment i could tell you're somebody very wonderful, very bubbly probably(could be wrong) you're definitely humble.

Best comment on here, like I posted earlier on here, itâs funny to me how some virgins just wanna say they married another virgin (regardless of compatibility or personality) It may make them feel better inside, perhaps insecurities or past trauma. Because I even ( as of now Iâm celibate) am not a virgin, but asked myself, why do I want a virgin? *if sheâs truly born again* what does it matter to me. It actually just seems controlling and unrealistic. Itâs like saying I wanna find someone whoâs never lied⊠reminder for all of us⊠liars and sexual immorality and unbelievers are all thrown in the lake of fire in Revelation! So those who feel like they need virgins⊠let them understand this.
And that is why forgiving is one of the big things in the Bible and you are making a sacrifice when doing it. I personally find it hard to not see their body count as who you were still has an impact on who you are right now, as the same example of an alcoholic as there is always a possibility of relapsing if they fall into temptation again. Just like in baptism, you are cleaned of your sins, but the temptation or urge is still there and it hasnât gone away, you just have to fight it now.
I think it has to do with the damage done to their bodies. Yeah they are new in Christ but it is hard to keep an intimate relationship with a partner when you know that partner has had the same experience with so many other people. But if you do not care about the high body count, then you do you, as long as they have repented their sins and believe in Jesus Christ then it is okay.
ââ@@thickmint5875f i smoke i will damage my body for exemple, i don't want to have a relationship whit an ex smoker because i want a partner that can live more than 50 years
@@thickmint5875 this is honestly quite subjective. Thereâs a lot of factors here. If someone has a high body count, theyâre more likely not going to experience certain arousals as they would if theyâre a virgin, and more likely to compare their spouse to other people and not be satisfied. Also, sharing a special moment with someone that is also a virgin is what god wants us to experience, showing us why itâs important to have sex after marriage and not before.
@@thickmint5875 also, being made new is true. If someone doesnât want to be with them romantically due to their body count, I donât think thatâs dishonouring god. Whatâs dishonouring god is condemning them to their past and telling them theyâre an awful person. You can still love them as god loves you, but it doesnât have to be in a romantic way. Let me know if Iâve said anything wrong :)
31 âIt was also said, âWhoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.â 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.â Matthew 5:31-3 We shouldnât marry divorced women though guys, or even divorce at all.
There are such things as preferences though. And those are still consequences. I wouldn't marry someone with a lot of tattoos as a preference. Ur past is clean but it doesn't erase wats done to the body nor the preferences of ppl
So much this. Sadly, people don't want to hear that what you did before you came to the Lord matters. Yes, you are a new creation and yes, the Lord will wipe your past clean. There are still some things that you will be disqualified for though. David was a man after God's own heart, but he wasn't allowed to build a temple. He was a man of blood and that couldn't be undone.
Some people place value on the wrong things but wonder why they can't find happiness in themselves or others. I found my forever young and have been blessed with 25 years of him but not everyone got to experience this so young, and had to go through bad relationships, bad experiences and insecurities to find themselves and their forever person. They deserve love and encouragement, not reminders. Remember Mary Magdalene was a prostitute and also a dedicated disciple of Christ. She had his love and forgiveness, look how it changed her life â€
Yes, but no one should be shamed for not wanting or being able to marry someone no matter the reason. Everyone is different. There are those who can handle it and those who can't or choose not to. No one should be questioning their faith (!) because of it.
@@misspriss2482yeah, imagine being made guilty for not marrying someone lol. You need to love them but it's your decision to marry or not to marry for any reason. That's YOUR marriage
Yes, new for Jesus, not for me. I will forgive them. I will walk the path of Jesus. I don't HAVE to be around a certain person. I DON'T have to be in a marriage with someone, I, and the Lords will, does not choose for me. I am speaking to myself, before I speak these words to others.
Here's the thing. Being new in Christ doesn't give someone amnesia and it doesn't necessarily break certain habits and/or strongholds. As a person, you know what you can handle. For example, I grew up around alcoholics and have a lot of trauma associated with it. Therefore, I would never date or marry someone who struggled with substance abuse. If they fell back into that habit, that would put me in a very bad place. Yes, God would carry me through and grace would be there. Still, I should be able to choose not to take that risk. Also, concerning sex, there is the added pressure of being with someone who has had 1000 partners before me. I'm a virgin. I can know that they love me and want to start over, but I may not be able to deal with knowing that while they have comparisons and "ghosts", I don't. That doesn't make me a bad person; that makes me human.
Thank you! †This is something I have been struggling with as I was saved after getting divorced and going through a promiscuity phase. I realized I was trying to put men in place of God. I still have some shame from it. I have been celibate for over a year, and have decided I am gonna live my life seeking Christ not a husband. If God has that planned for me it will happen, but if not I am okay with that too!
If youâre gonna use Christ and the Bible to cover for your past 304 life, you better be prepared to accept the whole book and the Word of God, and âsubmit to your husband.â You donât get to pick and choose whatever benefits you.
I sooo agree with this. I tell people just what my worst failings are, for this very reason. Full transparency! I just want to scream out, every day, "God! Look what you've done!" My name used to be Shame. But now I am Holy, righteous, and redeemed! I MUST be God's favorite. All those who knew me before, LOOK AT ME NOW! Taste and see that God is good. If He can do this for me, there is no limit to His Glory.
Wow. I love ur faith, passion and love for God. To just be able to tell people look at what God has done for me, the least of the saints, and use it to His glory. Heâs amazingâ€ïž
When you are made new itâs like your separated from your past life but you still have the memories. Itâs almost like it wasnât you living but your sin and when you give your life to Christ you finally start living. As the scripture goes âwhoever loves their life will lose it but whoever loses their life will find it.â
I've set my priorities, i don't want a woman who has slept around with plenty other men. That's disgusting in my eyes, even if she repented from her past sins and is newborn. Don't lower your priorities, set, hold them and only add to them, don't subtract, don't lower your self worth after watching and hearing some random dude on the internet is telling you, you should lower your priorities and reasonable point of views. If you want to take a person that was a slut in her past life as a woman, then go ahead nobody will stop you. If you think that you can put your trust in a woman like that, go find out.
@@sciencenerd777Yep, I agree. While I agree, it isn't wrong to not date someone because of their past adultery. It isn't right to call them a slut if they have repented and have accepted Christ and changed. It is no better than calling anyone who watched corn is the past a corn addict.
Theres more to body count than just a "past" though, scientifically proven to have infidelity, unhappiness. If someone is a virgin that wants a virgin, thats the best chance for marital success. Being an alcoholic and sleeping around cannot be compared. There's just to much baggage to put up with if a women has slept around, and the emotional ties through intercourse have been severed.
@Vincent-yp1gj Yeah sure, but with men too, and not nearly the same extent, again, best result is scientifically proven by a virgin marrying a virgin. Why is the add on always, but with men....
I can agree with the spiritual renewal part of things, but I'd call this a Romans 14 situation. If someone struggled with a particular sin/addiction before being saved, and likely has to fight harder against it now that they are saved, it has a very real effect on your relationship with them, especially if you are also prone to that sin. All I'm saying is there has to be some nuance đ€·ââïž
Not everyone that has a high body count has an addiction. Lots of women get tricked into hook up culture, thinking they have to offer sex in order to keep a man interested. When they get married, they will appreciate having a man who will stick around and be grateful.
I agree to a certain extent, but just because we are Christians that doesnât mean we still cant have preferences. And for some people I think itâs fine if they draw the line somewhere, but that definitely doesnât mean that we should make a brother or sister feel less than because of it.
I totally agree with these statements for REAL followers of Jesus. However, there are so many ppl out there that say, "Yeah, I know Jesus. Yeah, sure I'm a Christian." And in just a few years they are back into the miry clay. Please, DO be cautious, DO test the spirit. If YOU are made NEW IN CHRIST then He will let you see who is sincere or not. Dont follow your feelings, follow Christ.
I fully agree, except for when it comes to dating and marriage. It is perfectly acceptable for someone to have those boundaries over what someone has done in their past. Are you going to date someone who was a murdered but then was saved? Not many people would. Even when we are made new, we still often carry baggage or emotions tied to our pst that if we get into a romantic relationship, will end up being shared by both people. Itâs ok to not want to deal with that, thereâs a reason in the Old Testament husbands didnât have to pay the bride price if their bride wasnât a virgin.
@@thickmint5875 we are made spiritually new, you donât magically become a virgin again tho. I wish that was the case, as someone in that predicament, but itâs not. And I would fully respect any woman who wouldnât marry me because of my past.
@@tylersoendker5366 It's true they're neither married nor given in marriage in Heaven. I don't know whether our marriages remain. I imagine not, but I am not sure. But even on this Earth, what sin does the body retain that God cannot command?
SERIOUSLY AMENâ€ïžthere was somebody talking about how they didnât want somebody that had slept around before and made like a mocking joke about how they didnât want âa slipper that had been tried on beforeâ and i understand if u didnât want somebody whoâs non Christian or maybe somebody who doesnât have those values, but if their Christian their life is made new. If ur past doesnât matter anymore neither does theirsâ€ïžâïž
Right. But this has nothing to do with being trespassed against. This has to do with marriage, a lifelong commitment. It's better to state my preferences upfront vs courting or worse marrying someone and not letting them forget their past. I know a few people who did this to their spouses and it's awful. They married them, but they constantly shame them and never let them forget that they are "holier" than them.
Amen! I would prefer if the woman I make my wife doesn't have a high body count, but if that's a past lifestyle she gave up on and is renewed in Christ, then I'll make an exception there.
@@Vincent-yp1gj For this video I think itâs okay to use the term because it lets people know right away what your talking about without a lot of words. However if I were talking to somebody Iâd rather them just say that theyâve slept with x number of people in the past. Of course if someone did refer to a body count, I probably wouldnât say anything, it just sounds more respectful to the person you slept with.
There is a difference between new physically and spiritually. The spirit changes first, then the body adapts to the spirit. If a girl has slept around her levels of Oxitocin would never be back to normal, therefore she might have an hard time loving you, not to talk about the complications in intimacy. Yes, the Lord couls HYPOTHETICALLY change those as well ( he definitively could since he is almighty, but i dont think he would interfere in that regard as well), but knowwing what she let other man do would never be accepted at least by me, I would become a joke and i would lose my dignity. I am not an insecure man, I am a man with values and I want to be honorable. I do not hate any promiscuous woman, I would never think about marrying one, even if she is now a Saint and has left that lifestyle.
@@Vincent-yp1gj Yes, for a guy too, that's why as a 19 yrs old virgin I think everyone should wait for marriage. The video doesn't make this sin look like something irrelevant, I would say that the guy excluded the concrete issues that such actions can generate, because under Christ she Is forgiven and she got access to heaven, but talking in marriage terms there are bad consequences.
@@Stophatingalreadyyou are right everyone in your these comments is really just coping. Before they answer with their it shouldnât matter answers i ask myself would they tell their kids the same thing guarantee its different. Fact of the matter is the scripture never says not to judge but to judge righteously with good measure and love. You have to judge everyone that comes into your life to see if they are fit to be there whether you want to believe it or not everyone judges to an extent even the best of believers just doesnât mean you do it harshly though. The past is the best indicator of the future yes you are renewed in spirit and faith but the flesh is still there and it doest mean your sin has just disappeared your just fighting against it now and when temptation comes can you hold out like you say you can because your high body count says other wise is the point. Absolutely no shade to those who have them though its good they made a change praise Yashua but its not a 1st choice or one id bet on
@@domdolla5188 absolutely man, straight facts and to even add the cherry on top of the cake, you can see the man's expression at the end of the video, he know something is just not adding up and you can sense something like wrong God Bless everyone anyways đ â€

Thats preference which is not bad. you are entitled to your preference and nobody should tell you otherwise... as long as you dont judge people who havent saved themselves then yep... you deserve a virgin just like yourself
This is scripture, I think this guy sort of got it wrong. You donât have to be romantically interested in a person with a high body count, but you can love them as Jesus loves you. Also, you shouldnât condemn them for their past but love them as theyâre renewed in Jesus
. Itâs possible, but itâs like saying Iâve never cursed in my life, Iâm waiting for someone who hasnât ever cursed lol. Iâm celibate now that Iâm in Christ, yeah Iâve had a few partners, but the question is *why* do you want someone whoâs never had sex before? I understand if theyâre still actively sinning in sexual immorality or have had a lot of sexual partners and you donât want to engage with them⊠but just know you may find that virgin whoâs nowhere near compatible, but youâre so focused on them never having sex, you miss the actual important things; living in the spirit, reading the Word, character, being an actual spouse, I used to think like you, but just mark my words, letâs see how it plays out haha
@@FatherSonSpirit1 sleeping around and cussing is not the same thing , and yes all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but for a virgin man or women that wants a partner who's not have sex is nothing wrong , I believe God honors someone who wants to save themselves for marriage and if he or she is praying for that and they believe and trust in God's timing it will happen
Body counts is different, cause it's revealed your identity and morality, boys don't fall for this, when it's comes on marriage never marry to women who lived her life in adultery, avoid her don't even talk to her or say hey to her, stay away from these type of women, forgiveness comes from God ... not from you ...
I used to be a Lesbian before I was saved and people used it against me like I wasnât born again I was made new Iâm no longer attracted to that sex anymore sometimes I fall into temptation because then I just realize Iâm pleasing God not my desires
Awesome point! This also should be true for people who sinned even AFTER they were saved, but have repented. If thereâs a Carnal Christian (it is a thing⊠1 Corinthians 3:1-3 calls âbrethrenâ carnal) who is wrapped up in sin but then turns from it and asks God for forgiveness, 1 John 1:9 says that God is FAITHFUL and JUST to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness! That means He doesnât even view us as sinful, but only righteous⊠and shouldnât we view others the same way God does?
Mercy. One of gods, biggest messages to us in the Bible is to show mercy. Jesus said heâs the way the truth and the light through him is salvation Everyone is saved. He was able to show us this mercy and show our souls this mercy. We should be able to show his mercy to others. I love you.
You're 100% right... we all fall short, and backslide, and have a given propensity to go back to our vomit. I don't have a huge body count. Call it a block or a stronghold, but i'd still rather not set myself up for that situation if I can avoid it. Maybe i need to pray for stronger faith. What i do have faith of though, is that God will present His beloved daughter for me in His time, and i'll know when I meet her. Thats why i stay single and celibate, and date with intent. I don't want to be "taken" when that right woman crosses my path.
We need more Christian men to speak up about this. Before we were Christians, ANYTHING may have went. Please know you are made new. I had a high body count but Iâm married and sharing my life with a Christian man who set my past aside.
Glad you brought this up. Here's where you're wrong. If you drank for twenty years and then saved the damage to your body doesn't go away. We've been spiritually made new but we're still dealing with the consequences of sin in this life. Paul likens it to being tied to a corpse.
This is such a powerful message may those who need to hear this be blessed,but as for me I do tend to look at the past I know it might be wrong cause no one is perfect but at least keep sexual purity for me personally. But it's still a good look at the topic
Bless you. There are so many people that especially try to torment women about their pasts. People have many reasons outside of desire that they fornicate and some are just lost and then they find Christ. I understand personal preferences but body count is weaponized especially against women. And I agree with Jesus so I agree with you that someone has made new in Christ.
No one should weaponize a person's past against them or make them feel less than. Still, there are things that come with some choices. The person you like tells you that they have an incurable STD and they have to take meds for the rest of their life. That means that the odds of passing that disease onto your future kids are high. Is that a risk you want to take? Should someone be shamed for not wanting to take that risk? I don't think so.
The Bible takes sex seriously, and when you get renewed in Christ your whole body does not get renewed but your spirit does, so you're still going to have the same body count, you can't just magically unsex the people you had sex with.
That's bad but spirits are by far much worse. Case in point a woman married a man who she didn't know was gay he was intimate with her and all of a sudden she started having desires for other women.
I see your point and your are right to a point. For me I am bless to have someone that never have slept around at all. They are made new in Jesus but you need to remember that person is a human being and they will have a harder time dealing with that and the enemy is going to try to use that against them. I personally believe that if you are Capable and willing to take care of a person that might go back or have Temptation to seek other people. Then good job and you need to be there for them and love on them. But know exactly what you are getting in to. Everyone has Problems. So I see this as just other problem someone might have. And remember any problems our Partner faces, we faces as well. And no one has a clear background except Jesus of course. So it's more of a matter of seeing if you are Capable of loving on this person Regardless of there past. This cam mean anything to sleeping around, drugs, bad habits, drinking, por*, or anything else someone might Struggle with. So if you are willing to heal and be there for that person and know what Struggles they may have and you pray to God for guidance then go for it. But not everyone is able to handle other people issues some times. But no one should Shame anyone who has Repentant and walk Jesus.
Yes but many of them are not ârepentingâ. They still continue to live that lifestyle, but call themselves Christians because they have been led to believe since we are saved by Grace they can do anything STILL
If we were never lost how would we know when we were found. If we were never broke how would we know we were made whole . If we never sinned against God how would we know mercy. Those people who think they are good people that never done anything wrong who judge you before you found Christ are like the Pharisees and saducees. Think of the sinner that was washing Jesus feet with her tears and hair she kept kissing his feet Jesus asked Simon a question there are 2 debtors one owed 50 and one owed 500 they both were forgiven their debt who did he think loved more. He said the one that owed 500. Jesus said those who sin a little only love a little those who sin a lot love a lot when they are forgiven that always stuck with me. He told the lady that her sins were forgiven her

Weather a person is a Christian or not, we should not judge a person based on their past but on how they treat you in the present when it comes to relationships. It was one of the earliest life lessons in fact my dad taught me cos he told me this story about how he had a friend who married a girl who had a bad reputation of sleeping around and all his friends including my dad told him not to marry her. But he didn't listen and married her nevertheless and she changed his life drastically to the point that he was an alcoholic before marrying her but he even gave up that and even migrated abroad for a better paying job along with her and his family.
" we should not judge a person based on their past but on how they treat you in the present when it comes to relationships." Women initiate 70-85 percent of divorces...........
Thank you. Iâve been putting myself down in this way. Itâs wrong. Iâm a new creation. Live as the new creation. My past is at the cross. Iâve thought of myself as less because of my past. I canât do that. Jesus died for me, so I wonât live in shame. Thank you.
Thatâs your personal preference, and thatâs okay. Itâs also okay for a body count of zero to be one of the criteria you require. Neither you or the other is wrong. If your conscience is clear, and you glorify God in whatever relationship you choose, you are doing well.
How about we talk about the fact that not a single person reading this comment right now is saved, but rather we are living out the promise of Salvation.
Let them have their healing first, but yeah... Totally. We're all damaged goods in one way or the other. However, born-again Christians are all masterfully made-over to the point of vastly exceeding our original raw value. ("Who hast been forgiven much, loves much" et al.)... If there is nothing formerly shameful to acknowledge in a person's testimony, chances are they are either masking, self-righteus, unsaved or all the above.
I definitely agree that people can change once they come to Christ, but on the flip side, we must bear fruit and truly turn away from sin. Christians can still struggle with sin, of course, but we canât _live_ in it without guilt
@@emilywalsh2073 yeah, and I didnt say they shouldnt be forgiven. but if you're ran through (not just one or two partners) then you'd be better off joining a nun convent.

But women judge and condemn men on income and height....its called preemptive rejection..... if its ok for a woman to disqualify a man or not be attracted to him based on income and social status its perfectly fine for a man to disqualify a woman based on her body count the woman knows marrying a broke man = struggle....and women worship comfort the man knows marrying a woman with a high body count = cant respect her that she gave away sexual access to other males for free....while she is requiring me to "protect and provide ect
Once somebody does something you canât count on them never doing it again. We are human beings, not God. Trusting Him is one thing, trusting a human being is entirely different.
This is a biblically disingenuous take 1) Yes all have sinned and fallen short of Gods glory 2) Yes if a person repent of there past they are forgiven however a person with a high body count is just that a person with a high body count - just because we are FREE from the penalty of sin by repentance does NOT mean we are FREE from its consequences a woman who has a body count and has a child out of wedlock - guess what that kid does NOT magically disappear - because she is "made new" King Dave was a man after Gods own heart but did he escape the consequences of his sexual sin ?
Not everybody with with STDs are sober... let the sink in.. also many have a high bodycount because of alcohol influence.. also not everybody with high bodycounts have or ever had an STD..........
You can have a low body and have an STD, you can have a high body count and have NO STDs. If you dont want to date someone with an STD then ASK, because you can test for that shit. Condoms are pretty affective in preventing STDs so if someone is safe then they shouldn't have them. People can get STDs from a cheating partner, also remember that.
I mean i donât think this is scripture but I think youâre allowed to have a preference. If they have a high body count and you donât really like that, you donât have to be with them. You donât have to condemn them, you can accept them for who they are and love them as Jesus does, but you donât necessarily have to be with them in a relationship.

Donât say that! Just because you were an alcoholic doesnât mean youâll always be one. All it means is exactly what it says that you WERE one. Please donât condemn yourself like that. With God, all things are possible and you can be delivered from that if you want and seek to be! Never stop trying!
I can forgive people who didn't know better and shared intimacy with the wrong partners, and learned from it. but if someone habitually has used people, effectively as their drug, I find it painful, if not impossible to trust. Everytime I try to look past that, it eventually turns out we have such drastically different views, it doesn't land well
Disqualify from fellowship absolutely not, but Christians are allowed to have preferences on who they court
This.
preferences? yes, subconscious fear and/or religious pride leading to condemnation? no.
You are still holding them accountable for something God forgave them for.
Don't trust that anyone is 'new' unless you repeatedly see the fruits of Spirit in them.
@paulbunyan6024 Yes, the point is that just like devil can pose as the angel of light, some very very evil people can pose as children of God and followers of Christ Jesus.
It's only from their fruits that you will recognise them (with passing time).
This doesn't mean that TRUE believers in the Lord do not fall short, they do but they have an intrinsic (imparted by Holy Spirit) desire to be holy as God is holy. And they toil for it, in pain and failures, to bring glory to His name.
Well said!! đâ€ïž
I will trust that anyone is made new until they show or tell me otherwise. I.e. give them the benefit of doubt. It is not my place to judge someoneâs salvation.

I don't think it's usually a "I don't like you because of your past" thing but instead a "the physical damage can't really be undone" thing
Look up focus on the family and divorce rates when it comes to this kind of thing. Its more of a mental spiritual thing. Not saying Christ cant or wont heal that but most often those memories are not forgotten.
How are people physically damaged from different sexual partners?
@@emilywalsh2073 Not physically but more spiritually mentally.
Yes, I would. High body count is just that. Itâs discernment, not necessarily discrimination. New or not, I donât wanna wife someone whoâs been run through a hundred times.

I worry about this a lot beings I've slept with 18 people but I did it when I was young in high school before I was 20 I got saved around my 19th birthday so my past sucks it's hard to get over it the devil comes to make you feel worthless anytime he can
What does God say in His word? *2 Corinthians 5:17 King James Version*
"aÂčâ·Therefore *if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature:"* Don't stop reading, look at what the next phrase.. *"bÂčâ·old things are PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL THINGS are become NEW."* Did you read that right? NOT SOME. *ALL.* IF THE ENEMY KEEPS REMINDING YOU ABOUT YOUR OAST REMIND HIM ABOUT HIS FUTURE. *REVELATION 20:10 Âčâ°And the devil who had deceived them was hurled into the lake of fire and burning brimstone (sulfur), where the beast (Antichrist) and false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night, forever and EVER."*
Always remember that the word of God calls us *"fearfully and wonderfully made"* and that includes *YOU* dear. A godly man/or woman(if you're a guy) will treasure you and love you if He or she loves God first and above all đâ€ïž

â@jesuslovesyou6625 can I give you my contact, Ive been feeling so low of myself as well.
I agree with this for the most part. Iâm someone that has a âpastâ & while I am a new creation in Christ- I am not a virgin. I canât get that back.
I canât be angry at someone if I share my past with them & they lovingly tell me thatâs not what they want. We tell people the truth to honor God & also to respect the other person. A virgin has the right to turn someone with a âpastâ down, once it is done in love. I have to respect their choice. But they should never try to make us feel like weâre less than them by adding insults to their rejection. All born again believers are saved by grace through faith when we repent; we arenât saved based on our body counts. It is good to abstain until marriage, but unfortunately I messed up there already.
Some believers wonât care because they understand that they may not have the same past but they are still guilty of sin. Other believers will because of personal preference & I think thatâs fine. Again, once itâs done in love & not scorn or unrighteous judgment.
Hope this makes sense lol.

Best comment on here, like I posted earlier on here, itâs funny to me how some virgins just wanna say they married another virgin (regardless of compatibility or personality) It may make them feel better inside, perhaps insecurities or past trauma. Because I even ( as of now Iâm celibate) am not a virgin, but asked myself, why do I want a virgin? *if sheâs truly born again* what does it matter to me. It actually just seems controlling and unrealistic. Itâs like saying I wanna find someone whoâs never lied⊠reminder for all of us⊠liars and sexual immorality and unbelievers are all thrown in the lake of fire in Revelation!

@@FatherSonSpirit1 I appreciate this comment.
We are renewed in CHRIST!!
He is The Way The Truth and The Life our Messiah
Hes the one who leads us and he knows exactly what is best for us.
And that is why forgiving is one of the big things in the Bible and you are making a sacrifice when doing it. I personally find it hard to not see their body count as who you were still has an impact on who you are right now, as the same example of an alcoholic as there is always a possibility of relapsing if they fall into temptation again. Just like in baptism, you are cleaned of your sins, but the temptation or urge is still there and it hasnât gone away, you just have to fight it now.
The reason I don't want someone with a high body count is they are more likely to betray and abandon me but your right we are all made new in Christ
I think it has to do with the damage done to their bodies. Yeah they are new in Christ but it is hard to keep an intimate relationship with a partner when you know that partner has had the same experience with so many other people. But if you do not care about the high body count, then you do you, as long as they have repented their sins and believe in Jesus Christ then it is okay.
I agree. I canât get behind this video and if Iâm wrong for it Lord forgive me
Damage done to their bodies?
What part of "made new" do you people not understand?
ââ@@thickmint5875f i smoke i will damage my body for exemple, i don't want to have a relationship whit an ex smoker because i want a partner that can live more than 50 years
@@thickmint5875 this is honestly quite subjective. Thereâs a lot of factors here. If someone has a high body count, theyâre more likely not going to experience certain arousals as they would if theyâre a virgin, and more likely to compare their spouse to other people and not be satisfied.
Also, sharing a special moment with someone that is also a virgin is what god wants us to experience, showing us why itâs important to have sex after marriage and not before.
@@thickmint5875 also, being made new is true. If someone doesnât want to be with them romantically due to their body count, I donât think thatâs dishonouring god. Whatâs dishonouring god is condemning them to their past and telling them theyâre an awful person. You can still love them as god loves you, but it doesnât have to be in a romantic way. Let me know if Iâve said anything wrong :)
31 âIt was also said, âWhoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.â 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.â Matthew 5:31-3
We shouldnât marry divorced women though guys, or even divorce at all.
There are such things as preferences though. And those are still consequences. I wouldn't marry someone with a lot of tattoos as a preference. Ur past is clean but it doesn't erase wats done to the body nor the preferences of ppl
So much this. Sadly, people don't want to hear that what you did before you came to the Lord matters. Yes, you are a new creation and yes, the Lord will wipe your past clean. There are still some things that you will be disqualified for though. David was a man after God's own heart, but he wasn't allowed to build a temple. He was a man of blood and that couldn't be undone.
â@@misspriss2482yes also he was still punished for his wrong doing despite him being forgiven
Some people place value on the wrong things but wonder why they can't find happiness in themselves or others.
I found my forever young and have been blessed with 25 years of him but not everyone got to experience this so young, and had to go through bad relationships, bad experiences and insecurities to find themselves and their forever person. They deserve love and encouragement, not reminders. Remember Mary Magdalene was a prostitute and also a dedicated disciple of Christ. She had his love and forgiveness, look how it changed her life â€
Yes, but no one should be shamed for not wanting or being able to marry someone no matter the reason. Everyone is different. There are those who can handle it and those who can't or choose not to. No one should be questioning their faith (!) because of it.
@@misspriss2482yeah, imagine being made guilty for not marrying someone lol. You need to love them but it's your decision to marry or not to marry for any reason. That's YOUR marriage
Yes, new for Jesus, not for me. I will forgive them. I will walk the path of Jesus. I don't HAVE to be around a certain person. I DON'T have to be in a marriage with someone, I, and the Lords will, does not choose for me. I am speaking to myself, before I speak these words to others.
Satan calls you by your sin and God calls you by your name.
Here's the thing. Being new in Christ doesn't give someone amnesia and it doesn't necessarily break certain habits and/or strongholds. As a person, you know what you can handle. For example, I grew up around alcoholics and have a lot of trauma associated with it. Therefore, I would never date or marry someone who struggled with substance abuse. If they fell back into that habit, that would put me in a very bad place. Yes, God would carry me through and grace would be there. Still, I should be able to choose not to take that risk. Also, concerning sex, there is the added pressure of being with someone who has had 1000 partners before me. I'm a virgin. I can know that they love me and want to start over, but I may not be able to deal with knowing that while they have comparisons and "ghosts", I don't. That doesn't make me a bad person; that makes me human.
God bless you miss priss. Lord knows I have screwed up royally in the past and still do sometimes. And I 100% agree with this type of thinking.
Thank you! †This is something I have been struggling with as I was saved after getting divorced and going through a promiscuity phase. I realized I was trying to put men in place of God. I still have some shame from it. I have been celibate for over a year, and have decided I am gonna live my life seeking Christ not a husband. If God has that planned for me it will happen, but if not I am okay with that too!
Me too! I'm there with you sis!
If youâre gonna use Christ and the Bible to cover for your past 304 life, you better be prepared to accept the whole book and the Word of God, and âsubmit to your husband.â You donât get to pick and choose whatever benefits you.
I sooo agree with this. I tell people just what my worst failings are, for this very reason. Full transparency! I just want to scream out, every day, "God! Look what you've done!" My name used to be Shame. But now I am Holy, righteous, and redeemed! I MUST be God's favorite. All those who knew me before, LOOK AT ME NOW! Taste and see that God is good. If He can do this for me, there is no limit to His Glory.

When you are made new itâs like your separated from your past life but you still have the memories. Itâs almost like it wasnât you living but your sin and when you give your life to Christ you finally start living. As the scripture goes âwhoever loves their life will lose it but whoever loses their life will find it.â
I've set my priorities, i don't want a woman who has slept around with plenty other men. That's disgusting in my eyes, even if she repented from her past sins and is newborn.
Don't lower your priorities, set, hold them and only add to them, don't subtract, don't lower your self worth after watching and hearing some random dude on the internet is telling you, you should lower your priorities and reasonable point of views.
If you want to take a person that was a slut in her past life as a woman, then go ahead nobody will stop you. If you think that you can put your trust in a woman like that, go find out.

@@sciencenerd777Yep, I agree. While I agree, it isn't wrong to not date someone because of their past adultery. It isn't right to call them a slut if they have repented and have accepted Christ and changed. It is no better than calling anyone who watched corn is the past a corn addict.
Amen â€đŻ
Theres more to body count than just a "past" though, scientifically proven to have infidelity, unhappiness. If someone is a virgin that wants a virgin, thats the best chance for marital success. Being an alcoholic and sleeping around cannot be compared. There's just to much baggage to put up with if a women has slept around, and the emotional ties through intercourse have been severed.
You are right. Same thing with a man too.
@Vincent-yp1gj Yeah sure, but with men too, and not nearly the same extent, again, best result is scientifically proven by a virgin marrying a virgin. Why is the add on always, but with men....
I agree wholeheartedly it's worse for women. I was just saying it effects men too. Since im a guy. Stay blessed.
Right, I completely agree⊠I except⊠I want the person I marry to be a virgin.
Jesus loves you all! God bless.
Never thought about it that way before, thank you for enlightening me!
I can agree with the spiritual renewal part of things, but I'd call this a Romans 14 situation. If someone struggled with a particular sin/addiction before being saved, and likely has to fight harder against it now that they are saved, it has a very real effect on your relationship with them, especially if you are also prone to that sin. All I'm saying is there has to be some nuance đ€·ââïž
Not everyone that has a high body count has an addiction.
Lots of women get tricked into hook up culture, thinking they have to offer sex in order to keep a man interested.
When they get married, they will appreciate having a man who will stick around and be grateful.
I agree to a certain extent, but just because we are Christians that doesnât mean we still cant have preferences. And for some people I think itâs fine if they draw the line somewhere, but that definitely doesnât mean that we should make a brother or sister feel less than because of it.
This.
a born again Christian can understand no matter what someone has passed through
I totally agree with these statements for REAL followers of Jesus. However, there are so many ppl out there that say, "Yeah, I know Jesus. Yeah, sure I'm a Christian." And in just a few years they are back into the miry clay. Please, DO be cautious, DO test the spirit.
If YOU are made NEW IN CHRIST then He will let you see who is sincere or not. Dont follow your feelings, follow Christ.
Amen,myself included.
I fully agree, except for when it comes to dating and marriage. It is perfectly acceptable for someone to have those boundaries over what someone has done in their past. Are you going to date someone who was a murdered but then was saved? Not many people would. Even when we are made new, we still often carry baggage or emotions tied to our pst that if we get into a romantic relationship, will end up being shared by both people. Itâs ok to not want to deal with that, thereâs a reason in the Old Testament husbands didnât have to pay the bride price if their bride wasnât a virgin.
I mean...they didnt have the Helper back then so they weren't made new
@@thickmint5875 we are made spiritually new, you donât magically become a virgin again tho. I wish that was the case, as someone in that predicament, but itâs not. And I would fully respect any woman who wouldnât marry me because of my past.

And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Right. But this has nothing to do with being trespassed against. This has to do with marriage, a lifelong commitment. It's better to state my preferences upfront vs courting or worse marrying someone and not letting them forget their past. I know a few people who did this to their spouses and it's awful. They married them, but they constantly shame them and never let them forget that they are "holier" than them.
I hear what he saying, yes Jesus say were new in him, once you belive the word, no one could not tell you any difference. Once you belive.
Amen! I would prefer if the woman I make my wife doesn't have a high body count, but if that's a past lifestyle she gave up on and is renewed in Christ, then I'll make an exception there.
I agree, I just donât love the term body counts because it makes the people just sound like things.
I agree but what would be another term to use?
@@Vincent-yp1gj For this video I think itâs okay to use the term because it lets people know right away what your talking about without a lot of words. However if I were talking to somebody Iâd rather them just say that theyâve slept with x number of people in the past. Of course if someone did refer to a body count, I probably wouldnât say anything, it just sounds more respectful to the person you slept with.
Body count use to come from serial killers to say how many people they killed.
Jesus Christ is KING, his redemption is a blessing to this world. All who believe in him put their faith in him, and follow him are saved. Hallelujah!
There is a difference between new physically and spiritually. The spirit changes first, then the body adapts to the spirit. If a girl has slept around her levels of Oxitocin would never be back to normal, therefore she might have an hard time loving you, not to talk about the complications in intimacy. Yes, the Lord couls HYPOTHETICALLY change those as well ( he definitively could since he is almighty, but i dont think he would interfere in that regard as well), but knowwing what she let other man do would never be accepted at least by me, I would become a joke and i would lose my dignity.
I am not an insecure man, I am a man with values and I want to be honorable. I do not hate any promiscuous woman, I would never think about marrying one, even if she is now a Saint and has left that lifestyle.
Same for a guy. But I agree this is deeper than most care to admit. I could be wrong but this vid came across as if this sin is no big deal.
@@Vincent-yp1gj Yes, for a guy too, that's why as a 19 yrs old virgin I think everyone should wait for marriage.
The video doesn't make this sin look like something irrelevant, I would say that the guy excluded the concrete issues that such actions can generate, because under Christ she Is forgiven and she got access to heaven, but talking in marriage terms there are bad consequences.
@@Stophatingalreadyyou are right everyone in your these comments is really just coping. Before they answer with their it shouldnât matter answers i ask myself would they tell their kids the same thing guarantee its different.
Fact of the matter is the scripture never says not to judge but to judge righteously with good measure and love. You have to judge everyone that comes into your life to see if they are fit to be there whether you want to believe it or not everyone judges to an extent even the best of believers just doesnât mean you do it harshly though. The past is the best indicator of the future yes you are renewed in spirit and faith but the flesh is still there and it doest mean your sin has just disappeared your just fighting against it now and when temptation comes can you hold out like you say you can because your high body count says other wise is the point.

. Itâs possible, but itâs like saying Iâve never cursed in my life, Iâm waiting for someone who hasnât ever cursed lol.

@@FatherSonSpirit1 sleeping around and cussing is not the same thing , and yes all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but for a virgin man or women that wants a partner who's not have sex is nothing wrong , I believe God honors someone who wants to save themselves for marriage and if he or she is praying for that and they believe and trust in God's timing it will happen

Body counts is different, cause it's revealed your identity and morality, boys don't fall for this, when it's comes on marriage never marry to women who lived her life in adultery, avoid her don't even talk to her or say hey to her, stay away from these type of women, forgiveness comes from God ... not from you ...
It goes the same for both. Not saying you are wrong though. The last part wasn't necessary. But if given the choice virgin hands down.
And God asks us to forgive as well
On average its not a wise choice
No, you have to forgive them, but you don't have to date them. They are new creations no worse than you
Great message! Amen â€ïžđđâïžđđïž
I used to be a Lesbian before I was saved and people used it against me like I wasnât born again I was made new Iâm no longer attracted to that sex anymore sometimes I fall into temptation because then I just realize Iâm pleasing God not my desires
Praise the Lord! đ
It's fine. Keep praying and if God-willing, I hope you find a good spouse
Awesome point! This also should be true for people who sinned even AFTER they were saved, but have repented. If thereâs a Carnal Christian (it is a thing⊠1 Corinthians 3:1-3 calls âbrethrenâ carnal) who is wrapped up in sin but then turns from it and asks God for forgiveness, 1 John 1:9 says that God is FAITHFUL and JUST to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness! That means He doesnât even view us as sinful, but only righteous⊠and shouldnât we view others the same way God does?
Mercy. One of gods, biggest messages to us in the Bible is to show mercy. Jesus said heâs the way the truth and the light through him is salvation Everyone is saved. He was able to show us this mercy and show our souls this mercy. We should be able to show his mercy to others. I love you.
You're 100% right... we all fall short, and backslide, and have a given propensity to go back to our vomit. I don't have a huge body count. Call it a block or a stronghold, but i'd still rather not set myself up for that situation if I can avoid it. Maybe i need to pray for stronger faith. What i do have faith of though, is that God will present His beloved daughter for me in His time, and i'll know when I meet her. Thats why i stay single and celibate, and date with intent. I don't want to be "taken" when that right woman crosses my path.
Thing is: sin will follow you.. you are forgiven... but your sin will be there,in your background. But changing sides is about helping others
Amen thank You Lord for everythingđđ
Amen God have mercy on us save us and the whole world đ
I agree, but i also think we can have preferences.
We need more Christian men to speak up about this. Before we were Christians, ANYTHING may have went. Please know you are made new. I had a high body count but Iâm married and sharing my life with a Christian man who set my past aside.
Glad you brought this up. Here's where you're wrong. If you drank for twenty years and then saved the damage to your body doesn't go away. We've been spiritually made new but we're still dealing with the consequences of sin in this life. Paul likens it to being tied to a corpse.
This is such a powerful message may those who need to hear this be blessed,but as for me I do tend to look at the past I know it might be wrong cause no one is perfect but at least keep sexual purity for me personally. But it's still a good look at the topic
Yes love everybody but it's okay to want to be with someone who is a virgin and saved themselves for marriage especially if you did the same
Bless you. There are so many people that especially try to torment women about their pasts. People have many reasons outside of desire that they fornicate and some are just lost and then they find Christ.
I understand personal preferences but body count is weaponized especially against women.
And I agree with Jesus so I agree with you that someone has made new in Christ.
No one should weaponize a person's past against them or make them feel less than. Still, there are things that come with some choices. The person you like tells you that they have an incurable STD and they have to take meds for the rest of their life. That means that the odds of passing that disease onto your future kids are high. Is that a risk you want to take? Should someone be shamed for not wanting to take that risk? I don't think so.
Jesus said. I will not remember their Sin no more an as Far as The East is of the West....
The Bible takes sex seriously, and when you get renewed in Christ your whole body does not get renewed but your spirit does, so you're still going to have the same body count, you can't just magically unsex the people you had sex with.
I agree with forgiving, but having a high body count means they risk giving you an std.
That's bad but spirits are by far much worse. Case in point a woman married a man who she didn't know was gay he was intimate with her and all of a sudden she started having desires for other women.
I see your point and your are right to a point. For me I am bless to have someone that never have slept around at all. They are made new in Jesus but you need to remember that person is a human being and they will have a harder time dealing with that and the enemy is going to try to use that against them. I personally believe that if you are Capable and willing to take care of a person that might go back or have Temptation to seek other people. Then good job and you need to be there for them and love on them. But know exactly what you are getting in to. Everyone has Problems. So I see this as just other problem someone might have. And remember any problems our Partner faces, we faces as well. And no one has a clear background except Jesus of course. So it's more of a matter of seeing if you are Capable of loving on this person Regardless of there past. This cam mean anything to sleeping around, drugs, bad habits, drinking, por*, or anything else someone might Struggle with. So if you are willing to heal and be there for that person and know what Struggles they may have and you pray to God for guidance then go for it. But not everyone is able to handle other people issues some times. But no one should Shame anyone who has Repentant and walk Jesus.
amen
Yes but many of them are not ârepentingâ. They still continue to live that lifestyle, but call themselves Christians because they have been led to believe since we are saved by Grace they can do anything STILL
If we were never lost how would we know when we were found. If we were never broke how would we know we were made whole . If we never sinned against God how would we know mercy. Those people who think they are good people that never done anything wrong who judge you before you found Christ are like the Pharisees and saducees. Think of the sinner that was washing Jesus feet with her tears and hair she kept kissing his feet Jesus asked Simon a question there are 2 debtors one owed 50 and one owed 500 they both were forgiven their debt who did he think loved more. He said the one that owed 500. Jesus said those who sin a little only love a little those who sin a lot love a lot when they are forgiven that always stuck with me. He told the lady that her sins were forgiven her
Amen!!
Its about the prefernce, its okay to prefer a virgin as long as you dont hide behind religion. And if youre a virgin yourself offcourse.
Amen God loves you đ
Past drug dealing junkie scumbag here I donât regret nothing all my past actions made me find my faith and the faith you find is so important to you that changes the way you think changes who you are everybody can change in the name of the lord be better people be stronger shine brighter everyday
Weather a person is a Christian or not, we should not judge a person based on their past but on how they treat you in the present when it comes to relationships. It was one of the earliest life lessons in fact my dad taught me cos he told me this story about how he had a friend who married a girl who had a bad reputation of sleeping around and all his friends including my dad told him not to marry her. But he didn't listen and married her nevertheless and she changed his life drastically to the point that he was an alcoholic before marrying her but he even gave up that and even migrated abroad for a better paying job along with her and his family.
" we should not judge a person based on their past but on how they treat you in the present when it comes to relationships."
Women initiate 70-85 percent of divorces...........
@@JIX9ISLER1986 and how about that rate in new born believers following 100% God. Right.
Thank you. Iâve been putting myself down in this way. Itâs wrong. Iâm a new creation. Live as the new creation. My past is at the cross. Iâve thought of myself as less because of my past. I canât do that. Jesus died for me, so I wonât live in shame. Thank you.
The problem with their past is that it becomes a badge and a source of pride which some tend to justify. We see this with tattoos.
Thatâs your personal preference, and thatâs okay. Itâs also okay for a body count of zero to be one of the criteria you require. Neither you or the other is wrong. If your conscience is clear, and you glorify God in whatever relationship you choose, you are doing well.
You sound like Paul in the end.
@@Vincent-yp1gj Thatâs honestly the best compliment I have ever received on CZcams. Thank you.
This is so good!! Thank you!!
How about we talk about the fact that not a single person reading this comment right now is saved, but rather we are living out the promise of Salvation.
Let them have their healing first, but yeah... Totally. We're all damaged goods in one way or the other. However, born-again Christians are all masterfully made-over to the point of vastly exceeding our original raw value. ("Who hast been forgiven much, loves much" et al.)... If there is nothing formerly shameful to acknowledge in a person's testimony, chances are they are either masking, self-righteus, unsaved or all the above.
I definitely agree that people can change once they come to Christ, but on the flip side, we must bear fruit and truly turn away from sin. Christians can still struggle with sin, of course, but we canât _live_ in it without guilt
Alcoholism in the past doesn't increase the chance of divorce.
This.
This is a really good message!!!!! Good job brother :)
im not marrying an ex-prostitute or ex-porn actress or ex-onlyfans model or ex-easy girl.
renewed doesnt mean your past evaporates.
No ones making you
@@emilywalsh2073 right but we shouldnt see this behaviour as a pat on the back
@@crasnicul3371 This video is about forgiving someones past not condoning it
@@emilywalsh2073 yeah, and I didnt say they shouldnt be forgiven. but if you're ran through (not just one or two partners) then you'd be better off joining a nun convent.
@@crasnicul3371 Ran through? Wow, you dont deserve to be loved by a women if thats how you think of them.
They are made new. It does not matter the sins.
It doesnt and honestly sad so many comments are like ''but what about what I THINK'' when if its Gods way, its Gods way.
Will anyone please advise?
I deeply feel I want to be baptised, but I do not want to quit drinking+smoking.
So how can I continue to sin after being baptised?
Like everything choose your partner based on prayer in Christ. Just do not judge and condemn others based on their past.
But women judge and condemn men on income and height....its called preemptive rejection.....
if its ok for a woman to disqualify a man or not be attracted to him based on income and social status
its perfectly fine for a man to disqualify a woman based on her body count
the woman knows marrying a broke man = struggle....and women worship comfort
the man knows marrying a woman with a high body count = cant respect her that she gave away sexual access to other males for free....while she is requiring me to "protect and provide ect
insecure lol,you can be judged by past,its not about sin,its about self worth
Once somebody does something you canât count on them never doing it again. We are human beings, not God. Trusting Him is one thing, trusting a human being is entirely different.
This is a biblically disingenuous take
1) Yes all have sinned and fallen short of Gods glory
2) Yes if a person repent of there past they are forgiven
however a person with a high body count is just that a person with a high body count - just because we are FREE from the penalty of sin by repentance does NOT mean we are FREE from its consequences
a woman who has a body count and has a child out of wedlock - guess what that kid does NOT magically disappear - because she is "made new"
King Dave was a man after Gods own heart but did he escape the consequences of his sexual sin ?
Jesus Loves youâ€
"OH I had HIV before I was saved, but now I'm saved" ??
That isn't what he meant. You can have preferences, but don't shame someone for their past if they are born again
Alcoholics don't have STDs
Not everybody with with STDs are sober... let the sink in.. also many have a high bodycount because of alcohol influence.. also not everybody with high bodycounts have or ever had an STD..........
@@RyanREAX all I'm saying is it isn't the same thing, I understand that there are exceptions
You can have a low body and have an STD, you can have a high body count and have NO STDs.
If you dont want to date someone with an STD then ASK, because you can test for that shit.
Condoms are pretty affective in preventing STDs so if someone is safe then they shouldn't have them.
People can get STDs from a cheating partner, also remember that.
I agree, even though there are more reasons.
Amen
I mean i donât think this is scripture but I think youâre allowed to have a preference. If they have a high body count and you donât really like that, you donât have to be with them.
You donât have to condemn them, you can accept them for who they are and love them as Jesus does, but you donât necessarily have to be with them in a relationship. You can be friends and study the bible, and preach instead!
If Iâm wrong tho, pls let me know with scripture if preferences arenât allowed
Thanks for this
Thank you for this đą
Jesus loves yâall beautiful souls
I agree with this
Good job for calling out the hypocrisy. Much love and thanks â€ïžâ€ïž
Observe the sabbath if you love God 1st John 5:3
Exodus 31:13 it says to the people of Israel
@@relajado-fx5rf you aint in covenant w God if u arenât Israel, surely youâve heard about being grafted in. Donât let the church lie to you messiah brought us to the commonwealth of Israel
@@Dub4Yah But Israel isnât saved, yet. Also, we are gentiles. We also arenât under Jewish law.
I agree with him. But I will say as a recovering Alcoholic. I'll always be an Alcoholic
Donât say that! Just because you were an alcoholic doesnât mean youâll always be one. All it means is exactly what it says that you WERE one. Please donât condemn yourself like that. With God, all things are possible and you can be delivered from that if you want and seek to be! Never stop trying!
Jesus is lord
IN JESUS NAME AMEN
Amen Jesusđđ
Amen ohhhhhh this I needed this.
I can forgive people who didn't know better and shared intimacy with the wrong partners, and learned from it. but if someone habitually has used people, effectively as their drug, I find it painful, if not impossible to trust.
Everytime I try to look past that, it eventually turns out we have such drastically different views, it doesn't land well
