Purity rings

[WithUsAlways]

I just wanted to know others views on 'chastity rings'
the ring that is worm that represents your believe in No sex before marriage.

for those of you that have not herd of these they are rings that are worn until your wedding day. Its shows your promise to God that you will stay pure until that day when the ring is removed and replaced with your wedding ring.

I am looking at getting one but just wanted to see what others views were on this subject.

I never heard of those rings, but we don't need any rings to make any promises to God, it has to always be on our mind to keep ourself to God, not just to who you marry.

Be committed to God first, then be committed to a person.

I'm wearing one as we speak...I first got one when I was doing " The bride wore white purity class "..but lost that band and now wear an engagement ring with my birthstone.

It chases the guys away...

I never heard of these rings, but it's a good idea because some people actually need a reminder. Sometimes when you are alone with the other person and if things start to get hot, a lot of times the Bible is not in your mind. But, if you have a ring I guess one can look at that as a reminder of what the Bible says.. So I guess I can see both sides of this story.

Count me in

I have heard of those rings and i have actually seen someone wuth it.I think its alright if you decide to have one.You can however still make that promise without anything physiacal to show for it,will just be between you and God.

And rizen if you do decide to start that group i am definately in!!!

love

My daughter, who is 15, WANTS to get one of these purity rings. Of course, we don't NEED one of these rings in order to stay faithful to God....but I think my daughter wants one because it can be easier to point to a RING rather than to enter a debate with someone about whether or not staying pure is "the right thing to do."

It's just easier to point to a rule sometimes than to have a young mind allow someone to pressure them into "going further" in their relationship. As a parent....I find it easier to point to a rule rather than to argue.

I am going to be buying one for her very soon...

Just my two cents....

little for ring

putting ring as a promise to Jesus can do little to prevent you from entering into sex before marriage.it is your determination with the help of God that can stop u from sex before marriage.

 

[WithUsAlways]

Thank you Kcline1 that is what I was thinking about.
It is not that I feel I need a ring to make this promise to God but when I feel the temptation it is something to remind me about my promise.

Some Christians wear a cross around their neck to remember the amazing thing that the Lord Jesus Christ has done for us.
The ring is to also show people my promise to God with out having to debate with others. (Like kcline1 has said above)

I have already made my promise to God and will always keep this promise! and I know I dont need a ring to show it. But it has been really interesting seeing all the mixed view so thank you to everyone who had shared their thoughts.

Risen I would be very interested in joining the group to.

God Bless

I think it is a great idea. Why do you wear a wedding ring, if not to show the world the promise you made before God?
It's a good reminder of the promise you've made. And it's a wonderful conversation piece for the curious and the lost.

Yes it is a very GOOD, conversation piece.
I also love the point about the wedding ring.
We are the Bride of Christ.

I want to share a personal part of this whole purity ring.

It's not about preventing us from having sex, it's only an object. There is no rule that states you must have one. And those who don't are going to hell...Not all Christians support this ring thing.

But if they ever get a young teen to sit and explain what "That rings means " more churches will support it.

The Ring has no power for us, we don't believe the ring will deliever us through temptation...When we wear this ring, all we're doing is expressing whats in our hearts. The Ring is a statement.

how does chastity rings look like???

 

[rizen1]

I'm wearing a regular ring...Sadly I lost the ring and pearl I got from my purity class 7yrs ago....
It doesn't really matter, but what I like about these on this site it has writings on it, or some might have bible verses.

I don't see any harm in it, only good that could come out of it. As mentioned, the ring doesn't do anything supernatural in preventing you from what you would regret later, but it's more of a reminder to yourself of God's Word on the subject. Also, as mentioned, it's a great testimony to others who may ask what the ring is for. Kinda like baptism in a way. The water doesn't "do" anything, per say, but it's a declaration to those around you of your relationship with Christ.

Blessings!

I have heard of this, of course after I was married. (haha) --But I do think this is a great outward testimony to others. Some churches have done a "contract" so to speak about not having sex before marriage and I have to say no matter what it is, I am glad pastor's, youth pastor's and those who participate are declaring this in our day and age.

My daughter is 14 and already has had a boy try to kiss her or other boys try to ask her to be their girlfriend. We dont allow either one our kids to entertain the boyfriend/girlfriend world because it's dangerous and they are simply too young. Even when people joke with my children and ask them, "so how many boy/girlfriends do you have now" ... just so that the seed isn't planted I cut off the conversation immediately. I have told them they have plenty of time to allow God to bring someone into their life. I have also taught them first comes God, then comes friendship! lol not first comes love, then comes marriage... hahaha

Sure -- a ring, a contract or some physical object isn't going to be the stopping factor if and when one is faced in the actual choice making situation, rather it can be a reminder of a promise made, or a ministering tool for someone on the verge of making that decision.

Good for you for stepping out there and making a difference. :thumbs_up

Hugs~

On my 14th birthday my family took me camping and I was allowed to bring my best friend, Steven(who would later become my husband) as long as he slept in his own tent. When we got to the top of the cliff we were hiking up, my Dad got down on one knee and gave me my purity ring, it is one of my favorite memories. Steven thought it was very cool, we had talked about waiting for marriage before, it was what both of us wanted.
Shortly after, Steve and I started dating. I made sure I wore my ring not just any time I was around him, but any time I was out of the house. It was a deterrent for any guy who wasn't truly interested in me for me, and it was a great conversational piece between me and other girls. It was also a reminder for Steven and I of the promise we had made to God, to ourselves, and to each other. By the grace and strength of God, not any power in the ring, we both remained completely pure. After 4 years of dating, Steven and I got married, and in the service after walking me down the aisle, my Dad removed my promise ring before giving me to Steven to receive my wedding ring. This is also one of my favorite memories.
I still have the ring, and if I have a daughter her Daddy will give it to her on her 14th birthday.
Its just a nice symbol that has the potential to become a wonderful memory.
