can a christian couple sleep togther ?

[benjc]

fornication is sin and as a christian, we shouldn't let our bodily desires get the better of us.

They shouldn't sleep together.

1 Corinthians 7:2
But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

Acts 15:20
but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood.

1 Corinthians 5:1
It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father’s wife.

Ephesians 5:3
But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.

Hebrews 13:4
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

1 Thessalonians 4:3
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;

Colossians 3:5
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

sleeping

No!
2Ti 2:22 But flee youthful lusts, and follow righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

 

[Jon-Marc]

I voted NO because I assumed it meant a couple of single people and not a married couple. It is NEVER right for an unmarried couple to be in the same bed together. That is called fornication and is sin.

 

[stephen]

is it ok for a christian girlfriend/boyfriend to sleep together ??

yes

no

maybe

Absolutely not


The bible talks about purity. The bible talks about cities being burned up due to moral corruption

Pauls exhortation to the young man Timothy was to "keep thyself pure"

What is purity? That would be a good question for the world today! Because even Christian folks have lost the track of it.

Can a christian couple sleep together

Only in marriage.........The Canaanites, Perrisites, Jebusites etc. and all the rest of them were to be driven out, along with their animal instincts and ways.

"We are a peculiar people, a holy nation, a chosen people, a Royal Priesthood, belonging to God".

 

[SAN]

Can christian couple sleep together

If married Yes why not, just not sleeping together that includes sex and lots of won allowed in a marriage instituted by God.:shock:

 

[SAN]

Can christian couple sleep together

First of the question is not clear I am supprised to see no vote at 92 % Are the 92% married or unmarried if married and voted no then I feel christian population will disappear this earth in no time

 

[blessed07]

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no means no it don't matter who it is ,

 

[johnpaul]

Sleeping or having sex

If you mean actually sleeping, no problem. If unmarried and sleeping together as a euphamism for nookie, then no.

 

[johnpaul]

gay age

I voted NO because I assumed it meant a couple of single people and not a married couple. It is NEVER right for an unmarried couple to be in the same bed together. That is called fornication and is sin.

I disagree. Until the advent of the gay age, men often shared double beds, (in war time barracks etc).
God doesn't like the fornication bit, not the sleeping bit. Since when has falling asleep been fornication? Get it in perspective please.
I have my dog sleep at the bottom of my bed. Your logic beggars belief, yuk!
:shock:

 

[johnpaul]

Badly worded poll

No, we are to keep ourselves from even the hint of evil.
Sex before marriage is still fornication, and will bring reproach to the name of God, and is sin.
Sin has it's consequences just as it did with King David.

It is always best to wait for Gods way, and be obedient to him.
Then he can bless the relationship that otherwise might flounder from guilt,and lack of trust.

Of course unmarrieds may not have sex. Pleas take care wording your polls. People sometimes vote before reading the forum. As I did.
:embarasse

:shock:

There is one problem with a man and woman sleeping together though, even if it is just to sleep. The temptation would be great, and I know that no one would be able to withstand that temptation. If you invite temptation, and don't fall to it at first, you will in time. I can testify to this from experience.(I haven't slept with a girl, since I'm kinda still living at home...but I've faced, and fallen to temptation)

And having a dog sleep at the bottom of your bed is different than having a girl sleep in your bed with you. BIG difference.

 

[shipwrecksoul]

If you want to mar your relationship with the Lord.
If you want to degrade your faithfulness towards the Lords love for you.
If you want to get disciplined by the Lord!

If you want to mar the other persons relationship with the Lord.
If you want to degrade their faithfulness towards the Lords love for them.
If you want the other to get disciplined by the Lord!

So with what has just been said I think by now you got the answer to the question.
But just in case you have not the answer is no!

1Th 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

 

[anthony]

sorry i put yes but i meant no

My page wouldn't load so i couldn't see the actual question only the poll, as i assumed it was talking about a Christian married couple.

God clearly says NO to this in the bible

Sorry you do't have permesion to sleep

 

[loverofmonkeys]

it may say it in the bible. but it all depends on how long they have been together and if they don't want to get married.

 

[Trisha]

Its in the Bible. We do not have sex with someone we are NOT married to. Its called fornication. (look it up in the dictionary)

We follow the Bible, not how long we have been together or because we don't want to get married. Thats following your own desires.

Sin is sin. Jesus pointed that one out to the woman at the well.

 

[spirit1st]

Something takes place in our spirits , when we bond with someone!
its kind of a spiritual contract.
it is not to be broken in GODS PERFECT WILL!

its a serious thing that takes place!
many do not understand the problems that enter into there lives by sin!

1Pe 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1Pe 2:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1Pe 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1Pe 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

When we come together, that is the Bond!

You see we have natural desires put in our minds by our LORD which are good! If used in a good way! but satan tricks many , they allow them selves to be in ways that might cause them to fail easy! We must not allow ourselves to get caught into there ways !

Act 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

Eph 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

2Co 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
