You removed the post where you broke down Matt Slick's article about virgins. I thought that post was kind of harsh.RoyHobs wrote:Perhaps you could provide an example.Singalphile wrote: those blog posts give off a bit of a bad vibe
"So, my daughters should marry the first man they had sex with. If they don't, then they will forever be living in adultery, even if they are married to someone who was not their first. Is that what you are saying?"

Hi Morbo: I think Roy is hoping you'll see the answer in the scripture for yourself, rather than him tell you. But for those of us who want direct answers that apply to our real world situations, let me attempt to provide the directmorbo3000 wrote:Attn Roy:

Hmm...that's an interesting question. I agree that secular women do tend to lie about their sexual experiences, but 85% seems to me to be a pretty high number. Perhaps this was a multiple choice question and the other choices were more inane? For me, my "number" (as it's sometimes referred to) is my business with God, like my age or weight. I guess if someone asked me, I would cough it up, but no one ever asks me. No one. Ever. And, for the record, I believe my sinful past has been redeemed and my sins forgiven through repentance and Jesus's blood. For the life of me, I cannot think of a secret I would take to my grave. Maybe other people's sins that I know about and which have been forgiven, so why should I speak of them?RomneyWordsworth wrote:I have another question about this topic.

One of the questions asked the women was: "What one secret would you take with you to the grave, not ever telling a single person, your entire life?"
85 percent of them filled in the same answer: "How many men I had slept with." (Note: This does not mean the other 15 percent didn't sleep with multiple partners, it
merely means they didn't or wouldn't keep it a secret to their grave).

And for Michelle: As a woman, would you say that Redbook poll is true?
Thanks for the honest response. I can say from my own experience and that of others, that often times when we have sinned, the devil puts thoughts in our head that "you're the only one", "nobody else is like you","don't tell anyone" etc.Especially victims of sexual abuse think this, and the devil's specialty is to keep them all isolated from each other. But when one comes out...it encourages the others and you see a glimpse how many more there really are. (Bill Cosby for example, the Catholic Priest scandal another, etc.)Michelle wrote:Hmm...that's an interesting question.
