Anthony and Diana (Our Parents)

[diana31483]

Diana's foster parents:

Lana and Larry are treating me like crap because I am with Anthony and I lived with him for a year and a half and they are mad because they think Anthony and I aren't Christian which we are. They are Christians but they banned me from coming and seeing their children, Eric and Katie which isn't fair. They are scared because of the sex issue! Anthony and I love each other very much! Anthony said that Larry shouldn't be like that because in the church everyone is welcome so his house should be welcome and just because you are sinner doesn't mean anything. EVERYONE SINS ANTHONY SAID WHICH IS TRUE!!!!!!


So if you have any feedback about this please give me some suggestions on this topic

Anthony's Mother

She accued us from stealing money! (100.00)
She kicked me out because Anthony wasn't at home he was at work and I answered the door and I told his friend Chris that Anthony wasn't home and we held a conversation and she got mad and Anthony was mad at her to so I stayed at Chris house for the day!

Diana, you said that Anthony said that everyone sins,BUT did he tell you that you did not have to sin...You see Gods will for us is to serve him and be free from sin.I know that sounds forout being human as we are,Iguess what i am trying to say is,love our Lord Jesus with all our heart,trusting our Father God to lead us and guide us so we may be free from sin.

Hi Diana,
You have touched some very important issues facing Christians today. I think there are a few things you need to bear in mind when deciding to live in sin with your boyfriend as a believer in Christ Jesus. Yes, everybody sins but there are commandments that Christ has called us to follow as His children.

1 Corth. 1:18 -20 NIV
"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, who you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your body."

I think you should read from 1 Corinthians 6:12 - 20. Paul is speaking very clearly about the expectations as followers of Christ.

Eph 5:3 NIV
"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed because these are improper for God's holy people."

Understand Diana by your choice there is a price to pay for disobedience. I have seen the following verse take place in the lives of Christian friends.
Heb. 12:16-17 NIV
"See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. Afterwards, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. He could bring about no change of mind, though he sought the blessing with tears."

God promises to Bless us when we are faithful but when we do as we want we all pay a price.
Diana, when you are in love with someone it is difficult to remain sexually pure, it is a struggle. I went through it with my boyfriend, then we got engaged & married. It was tough, but we spent time praying. As Christians our lives are not our own we easily forget that.

As for your parents rejecting you, well, it is difficult but you have to understand their point of view. They do not want you to influence their children to follow and accept sin. I am not saying you are going to do that but your parents are trying to set an example for their kids. I can imagine it must hurt you terribly. They only want what is best for you. I am not here to judge yourself nor your parents but to offer guidance in your walk with Christ because in the end you have to stand before Him and give an account for your choices. You won't be standing beside Anthony at the end when Christs asks you questions about what you did for your life here on earth & how you showed His love & ways to others around.

I can only live my life as an example for Christs faithfulness. We have only been married 4 yrs. but we have been very blessed. We have a wonderful home, a great family, fantastic Church, we are involved with the Youth. God has blessed us with great jobs, I love going to work each day and I work in a secular environment. My husband has a fantasitc job, God has been promoting him and he is now the manager of his department all within 2.5 yrs. with the company. Only God can do that, it is not because of anything we have done. We live our lives to gloriy Him in everything. When we were dating the only question that was on my mind when it came to marriage was can I be more useful to God single or as part of a married couple. I made my decision to marry my husband based solely on that. It had nothing to do with my feeling for him but everything to do with pleasing my Heavenly Father.

I hope you take into consideration what I wrote, I mean it sincerely that God wants to Bless you but He will withhold His blessing if you are disobediant.

I am getting married to a white guy named Brian Depa

Well, Anthony and I didn't work out for the last four months. But as far as Brian goes I've known him before Anthony and he loves me for me not for money or sex. So thats whats up we are getting married at the end of the year of 2005. We got the rings on layaway. I am getting my own spot with Brian and it could be possible that I am pregnant by Brian too. Also Brian is getting baptized sometime soon as well as marrying me.

Love, diana31483
