Anyway...I am going to leave you with something I wrote on Myspace years ago about my views on sex before marriage, it is a bit rough around the edges, but enjoy it!
God Bless

"Right, so many of you always ask me and wonder why i believe in the whole no sex before marraige thing, soooo i thought i would just write this just to explain it all, so hope you enjoy reading it...haha
By the way, I just want to make clear right now, that this is MY view, and disagree if you like, its my opinion so dont think that im having a go at you or im just saying that your completley wrong with what you think!
Ok so, obviously i'm a christian, cos i dont know many none christians who believe this haha, and my faith is so important to me, i want to grow in it, get to know god more, and let it shape who i am, and how people view me, God has a plan for me, and i want to follow that plan.
In the Bible it clearly says not to have sex before marraige, what ever way you look at it, it says that, and whatever you may say about the bible being written ages ago, and now it should be interperated differently and its ok, is wrong, because, a J John once said, 'If the bible says don't do it, DON'T DO IT', theres no if, but, what, maybe about it, it says no, so theres the first reason why i believe this.
Something i have always wondered, and i have learnt throughout life, (haha all my 19 years haha) is why the Bible says this and why god wants us to wait. It's not just becuase hes being mean, there are reasons behind it. In my view, sex is something so special, its the closest you can ever be to someone, and i want to get the closest i can ever get to someone, with my wife, i want her to be the only person i have ever got that close to, because she is the one God's plan has drawn me to. I dont want to share this with any other person then the person im going to spend the rest of my life with.
You may now be thinking 'what if your going out with someone, dont u want to show them you love them?' or 'you think your going to get married, then why cant you just do it?' The answer is, yes i do want to show them i love them, but, if you arent certain at that very time you are going to marry them why do it, there are other ways you can show your love, before you build up to the final steps of marriage, then sex, and having kids - some of the greatest things God has given us!! And if your going to get married, then the simple answer is why not jsut wait, it shows that you love each other more and respect it each other if you are willing to wait!!! its as simple as that.
I hope you are understanding this and im not talking crap haha.
I think a lot of non christians think that christians are 'against sex' , which is completely UNTRUE, i mean theres a whole book in the bible about it! and for me and others i know, we can't wait, but we have chosen to, to help build our faith. I know i probably just sound boring but i really cant wait, and i have been tempted and i really cant wait. i think i have gone further then i would of liked, but i have learnt from that. I do find it hard, but there are ways that i try and keep myself from this. so if your a chrstian, these may help if you are really struggling!! i basically try and stand as far away from the cliff as possible (the cliff is sex haha). so, for me, thats not going out with a non christian, becuase i know i would be tempted, and just the little things, making sure your not alone with a girl for to long, not sleeping int he same bed or something, because all these situations would tempt me maybe, so i try to steer clear of that.
I cant think theres much more to say, but just a few things to finish...
Whether Christian or Non Christian, God loves you, he sent his son, jesus to die for YOU, and whatever you may have done, how ever bad it may seem, all you have to do is say a little prayer and you will be forgiven. so if you have had sex and maybe now are confused, or u did it once and think now you have done that you may aswell carry on, but thats not the case!so, yeah thats it, but please dont be afraid to ask me any questions you like!!!!!! and don't forget this is my view, you are entitled to your own opinion!!
God Bless
