How do you stop sexual sin when you are saved? It has always been a monkey on my back. Can anyone help?

Question

Sexual sin is the worst for me personally. I always strive to do better, but I need help.

Answer 1

What - You just stop. Either that or give up your religion.
There's no magical key to life. Nothing I say is going to make you stop.

I mean you could catch an std or aids...you could have bastard children. You could do it with a crazy ***** who will stalk you forever.

I mean you are your own person dude so you are the only one who can control your actions.

Sounds to me like you're just on here to brag, but what do I know...

I say if you want to stop, just stop hanging around people who will lead you to do these things. Find better friends...stop hanging out with whores. Slam Mr. Winkie in a door everytime you get a nasty thought. ****, I don't know.

You're the only one who can control you, so if you think this is going to send you to 'hell' and that's not scary enough to stop you, then it's something you'll have to deal with.

Hypothetically speaking, if you were truely terrified for your 'soul' we wouldn't be having this conversation. Sounds to me like you wrestle with the stipulations of your religion because you lack faith.

I suppose if you truely want resolve go talk to your pastor (or whatever the figurehead of your religion is) or your parents. I'm sure the shear embarrasment of that will make you think twice before screwing around. LOL!

Have Fun.

Answer 2

It is almost impossible to stop once you start. Especially if you have easy access to it and girls all you have to do is ask and the guy will stop what he is doing to be with you. Keep striving and dont give up cause in Phillipians 4:13, You can do all things through Christ Which strengthens you. Do all you can do to beat it and God will strengthen you to do what you cant. Dont give up and dont think because of this you cant go to church or read your bible or even witness. Use your weakness to encourage others so they will do the same for you. If you are serious with somone and you can marry this person, in which youve dated this person long enough, the bible says that it would be better to be married than to burn with passion. Thats not an OK to go get married to have sex but thats will be the only way out of sinning, other wise its going to be a long FOUGHT battle in which you will mess up, but when you do ask for forgivness and continue to fight, NOT give in. My sin is just as easy as your or anyone elses. So we all should obey 1 John 1:9 and James 4:7 and not believe or even listen to satan.

Answer 3

Hey there. I'm glad you asked this question. I am recovering from sexual addiction and sin and this is not one of the easiest things to deal with, but I'm glad you are asking for help and that is the first step. You realize that you are NOT alone in dealing with this. I don't know where you live, but I know that my church has a support group that meets every Tuesday night and I try to attend as much as my schedule allows me to do so. If you live in Houston, TX visit my church's website, www.bammel.org, and that will learn more about it there. If your church does not, there are plenty of Christian websites online where you can find some help. Also, it's important that you find someone who can hold you accountable for what you are doing and how you are feeling as you battle this addiction. There is always hope when it comes to defeating sin with the power and the love of Jesus Christ. I hope this helps you out.

Answer 4

Don't do things that will get you into compromising situations. Don't watch things that will cause you to lust. When you start thinking about sex or sexual experiences, start reading the Bible. Abstain from kissing, if you must, which makes it easier to go even further. Go out on group dates. Try to avoid being alone with someone you're interested in or dating. I mean alone as in alone in a place you can have sex or do other sexual things. Always be on guard. There are ways to avoid this sin. And always, PRAY.

Answer 5

Dr Education's answer: Thank the Lord for the beautiful creation he made; ask for the strength to resist lusting. You don't want to stop the sexual senses. This (sex) is a gift from God and should be opened @ marriage. It is natural for you 2 have sexual feelings ask the Lord to teach you to use them in the proper environment and at the proper time. Claim promises from the Holy Bible. There are books dedicated to Promes of God from His Word. Invest in one from your local Christian Book store. One book that helped me although it was geared toward persons dealing with homosexuality the principles are helpful with dealing with sexual sins: Homosexuality: An Open Door by Colin Cook

Answer 6

Nowhere has Christian morality come under greater attack than in the whole area of sex outside marriage. The Biblical teaching that sex is only for marriage does not even enter the thinking of most people today. The Biblical condemnation of illicit sexual acts has become for many a license for sexual experimentation. The popular acceptance of sexual permissiveness is evidenced by the introduction and use of "softer terms." Fornication, for example, is referred to as "pre-marital sex" with the accent on the "pre" rather than on the "marital." Adultery is now called "extra-marital sex," implying an additional experience like some extra-professional activities. Homosexuality has gradually been softened from serious perversion through "deviation" to "gay variation." Pornographic literature and films are now available to "mature audiences" or "adults."

More and more, Christians are giving in to the specious argument that "Love makes it right." If a man and a woman are deeply and genuinely in love, they have the right to express their love through sexual union without marriage. Some contend that pre-marital sex releases people from their inhibitions and moral hangups, giving them a sense of emotional freedom. The truth of the matter is that pre-marital sex adds emotional pressure because it reduces sexual love to a purely physical level without the total commitment of two married people.

The Biblical condemnation of sexual relations before or outside marriage is abundantly clear. Adultery, or sexual intercourse between married women or married men and someone other than their marital partners, is condemned as a serious sin. Not only is adultery forbidden in both versions of the Decalogue (Ex 20:14; Deut 5:18), but it was also punishable by death in ancient Israel: "If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death" (Lev 20:10; cf. 18:20; Deut 22:22-24). The same punishment was meted out to a man or a woman who engaged in pre-marital sex (Deut 22:13-21, 23-27).

Answer 7

It simply begins with a decision on your part. Whether it's actually sexual sin or not, that's really the biggest question. If you believe that you are out of control on the issue, then I suggest a 12 Step Program that deals with sexual addiction.

Answer 8

Not very many know what you are going through, because not very many take the Bible seriously and try to live by faith (the only way to please God). A good starting place to attack the fleshly problem is in Romans 6. As you read it, think through your water baptism and what it represented. Then meditate on verses 7 and 11, "consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus". Remember also that we are told to "flee temptation", not hang around and think about it. Don't get on a guilt trip over it either. Just confess it (1 John 1:9), ask God to help you see it through His eyes, and look for improvement. Holiness doesn't come overnight and perfection can only come through Jesus, not ourselves. Try to be joyful. The fact that you're concerned is the best sign that you're seeking the narrow way that leads to life. Most seem to be enjoying the pleasures of sin for a season, on the broad path that Jesus warned leads to destruction. Let's pray for them.

Answer 9

Prayer works...if in your heart you sincerely want this to go away then do the things you know will help. When the thoughts and feelings first come into your mind....pray. Do not indulge in fantasy. These are things you can choose to do. Think about it...it IS your choice you know what titillates you...so avoid it and pray. Realize it takes time and determination and that you decide every day or many times a day to keep yourself spiritually clean. Never give up until right thinking is a habit.

Answer 10

You need to pray continuously about this. Whenever you feel the temptation to do something, pray about it. God wants to help you out of sinful situations. That's why Jesus taught us to pray "Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from the evil one." This is probably going to be a struggle for quite some time, but if you keep a close walk with Jesus and continue to ask for help with this, he will help you. It is so good to see that you are trying to get out of this. I'll be praying for you.
