Is fantacising bout a boy a sin? My pastor said that God will provide you with a husband so she said thats a sin. I understand lying, cheating and other stuff are sin but fantacising?

It depends how far your fantasizing goes. Jesus said that lusting after a woman is a sin, and is the same as committing adultery in your heart. But desire is unavoidable, and a certain amount of fantasy can be healthy. I think the best course of action would be to pray, and to determine through prayer whether what you're doing is wrong or not.

Well, sexual thoughts in and of themselves are not necessarily wrong. Tell you what: take a look at Matthew 5:27-30, and Colossians 3:5, and see how you feel about what you're thinking after reading those verses.
And every time a sexual thought comes to mind after that, measure it by those verses. And then do with those thoughts however God leads, based on what He has shown you about whatever thoughts you were having.
May God bless you

Everything that brings a person any joy outside of worship is a sin in Christianity. The truth is that there is no such thing as sin. (That's a good thing!)
You are in control of your own life; find yourself a husband if it makes you happy--God has nothing to do with it, because God is imaginary. You were taught from an early age that there is a God who loves you, but no such being exists. If he did exist, according to the Bible, he'd be an awful, awful god.

Matthew 5:27-28 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
1 Corinthians10:13 "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
At least you care enough to try and figure out what is right in God's eyes.

Don't believe what your pastor says at face value. Evaluate your beliefs for yourself. Pray and find what *you* believe. I believe God has a personal relationship with each individual, so whether that's a sin or not is between you and God.
I don't think there's a label of "this is a sin" on everything.

No, fantasizing about a boy is NOT a sin. God knows and understands both men & woman are going to be attracted to one another. Thats where it all starts, so be careful how far & how much your fantasizing goes.
God Bless & take care

Actually we are suppose to pull down vain imaginations in our minds and not have lustful thoughts about people. It is not because God is just full of rules, but He is trying to protect us from being hurt. If our heart is wrapped up with someone in our thoughts it is not free to give away. Also The Lord wants us to ponder things that will edify us and not turn us into knots.
Matthew 5:28 (Whole Chapter)
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Philippians 4:8 (Whole Chapter)
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

obsessed,
Don't you have any hobbies?
These questions might be important:
Are you able to support yourself?
Would you be able to support a child?
Are you able to get a child to the hospital in an emergency without calling someone for help?
Are you emotionally secure?
If you answer these questions with a " no " then you are getting ready to burden the rest of us with an obsession that you have, the outcome perhaps a young child that knows only that he or she wants his or her mommy.
Your question and demeanor indicate that you are young. You are wasting time with thinking about whether or not it's a sin, while you are bullsh*ting yourself into some kind of philosphizing mire.
Grow up, get educated, know that you are most likely hetero, and be a person for your own benefit, not some kind of foghead.

It took me a little while to figure out what you are trying to say, lol. I think you mean "Is fantasizing about a boy a sin?" Correct?
If you are lusting after him, then yes, it is. "'...but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.'" (Matthew 5:28)
"But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh." (Galatians 5:16)
Don't worry, you can beat it, you are a "New Creation"! Just "pray without ceasing" and always keep focused on Him. If you mess up, don't worry about it, everyone does. Don't beat yourself up over it, most importantly.

Your pastor is a whack job! You can't help who you like. Just remember, the people that wrote the Bible live in a time when a lot of people got lead and mercury poisoning, this causes the human brain to go insane and hallucinate. Your taking your cues from a book that was written by crazy people.
