can someone be a good christian and not be a virgin?

Answer 1

if you're not married, you're going to hell

Answer 2

We all sin, & one sin is no worse than another. You can be the best Christian in the world & not be a virgin. Everyone has their issues, & not being a virgin doesn't make God love you any less. Jesus died exactly for this reason...We humans aren't capable of doing everything right. The only thing that makes you a "good Christian" is if you truly love the Lord & wish to live your life for Him. That said, don't deliberately continue to sin just because God will forgive you. He wants you to try your hardest to live as purely as possible...He also knows that we're gonna screw up now & then.

Answer 3

There are several different answers to this question.

If you're married... Yes! It is absolutely imperative that you have sex with your spouse. It's necessary for a good relationship (along with many other areas) and God commands it! He created the whole idea and intended it for our pleasure, as long as we play by His rules and have sex inside of marriage.

If you're not married... then losing your virginity is a sin. However, it is a sin from which you can repent. If you lost your virginity--whether you were a Christian or not when it happened--you can always go to God and ask His forgiveness and start your sexual life over by living a "second virginity" and saving yourself from that point on until you get married.

However, if you use asking for forgiveness as an escape clause and figure, "Oh, I'll have sex and then ask God to forgive me," He won't forgive you because you're not really asking for forgiveness. In order to be forgiven, you have to repent of (turn away from, reject) your sin. That doesn't mean that you won't slip again, but you can't go into it with the attitude that you can ask to be forgiven and then keep on sinning.

A "good Christian" is perhaps not the best term to use here. Perhaps your question is, "Can someone be a Christian who is in tune with God and not be a virgin?" In two cases--marriage and repentance with intent not to continue--the answer is yes. In the other case--where you plan to use prayer as an escape clause--then no. Such sin will significantly impair your relationship with God.

Another case would be sexual abuse. In that case, it's not the victim's fault! If he or she is not a virgin because of sexual abuse, rape, etc., that is NOT something that God holds against him or her. In fact, God's heart breaks for all such situations.

Answer 4

that depends should you continue in sin that grace should abound? I married as a virgin and married a virgin not because I had to but because I WANTED to. How is this possible? Well if any man be in Christ he is a NEW CREATURE! So if you are truly a Christan you no longer desire the things of the world or that value set. If you have already lost your virginity and you just got saved. You should go from there and say from now on I serve the Lord. The bible says those who love the Lord obey His commands.

Answer 5

Jesus forgives any sins.
Fornication is a sin, but sex after marriage is not.
I'm a 23 year old virgin and a Christian.
I am not perfect though, no one is, save Jesus.
If you are worried about what people think in church, don't.
If you are trying to live your life for God, and have already lost your virginity outside marriage, just ask to be forgiven.
The way you live now defines how you are doing as a christian.

Answer 6

Yup, married people aren't virgins. And, if you messed up, you can repent. Christians, like every human, are imperfect and make mistakes. But Christians do believe in repentance. But, if a person is sexually active outside of their lawful marriage, that is sin according to most (all?) religions so it is difficult to say you're being "good" when you aren't doing the best you can to follow "the rules", ie "the commandments".

Answer 7

I agree with spamandham. Didn't your bible teach something about being pure and not committing adultery before marriage? Didn't Christ also advocate that and didn't his mother embody that? Most of the women in the bible were not sluts.Remember Esther,Ruth the Moabite who didn't want to remarry? I don't read that Book but I am damn sure that if you are a true christian, you would be a virgin and keep yourself for your husband AND I'm sure the your Master also frowns against Divorce and Abortion.but that's another discussion altogether

Answer 8

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

Someone who is not a virgin can be a good believer in the sight of God. However, a believer who continues to engage in sexual activity despite knowing and/or being convicted about it is quenching the Spirit of God. If a person is being sexual and is NOT convicted about it and thinks its okay - this person obviously does not understand what the Bible teaches us about what a believer really is.

If you want to know what a "good Christian" is according to the Bible, then read it! I also have an article elsewhere that talks about the typical believer in today's world. I have pasted a link below.
May God bless you.

Answer 9

Yes, someone can be a good Christian and not a virgin. If, before they came to Jesus Christ they were already a non-virgin, and they sincerely repented of this sin and believed,

Answer 10

Of course!

Christianity is all about forgiveness and you ever heard of a "born again Christian?"

After baptism, every sin you created before that point is wiped away. and from that moment on you are supposed to live a "new" life and be the best you can.

But of course we are all human so IF you do mess up...and oh yes, you will. All you have to do is ask Jesus for forgiveness.

Simple as that.

Answer 11

Yes someone can be a good Christian and not be a virgin. First of all, married Christians can be in that category. Second of all you have to understand that a Christian will not be totally 100% sinless this side of heaven. A Christian may commit a sin but if he repents of it he can be forgiven by God and maintain that relationship with God. King David who is one of the greatest men of God mentioned in the Bible gives us an example. King David let himself stray and committed adultery and then tried to cover it up by having the woman's (Bathsheba) husband (Uriah) killed in battle. God confronted King David thur the prophet Nathan and David repented. However even though David was forgiven he was cursed to have strife in his own family which resulted in one of his own sons trying to kill him later. Also the "love child" Bathsheba bore died. A Christian can be forgiven but he may still reap consequences to sin committed. King David is considered a great example of being a man after God's own heart despite his shortcomings because overall he followed God with great zeal as few kings ever did after him. This is the same king David of which Jesus Christ was to be a descendant of.
