Who to resist temptation?

Question

i am young/not married/and want 2 have sex with someone

The Bible says 2 resist temptation how?

Answer 1

God created us as beings with bodies designed for sexuality for a reason. To enjoy it. Sex is not wrong. As long as you respect yourself and your partner and are having safe sex, go ahead and enjoy yourself. USE CONDOMS and other birth control though if you don't want to get pregnant or STD's. :)

I would however say that depending on your age, to wait until you are mature enough to handle the consequences of sex, which can be pregnancy, STD's and more importantly, emotional attachment and disappointment if things don't work out with another person the way you want it to.

Answer 2

First understand that what you are feeling is completely normal. We all have needs. You said you are young and that means your hormones are really taking a front seat. It's tough not to give in to temptation but if you truly want to follow the word of the Lord there are some things that will help. One ask the Lord for strength. He knows your desires. If you do not do it one thing that will really help is to GO TO CHURCH. Meet other people your age. There are teens that feel the same way as you and are struggling through the same issues. Also meet guys at the church. Find someone faithful to the word that you are equally yoked to. Between the two of you you can get together get involved in christian activities. You can find that having a solid relationship with the opposite sex can be a very rewarding thing. Sex is not a bad thing but being young and having sex can leave scars. Just stick with other Christians and do the best you can. That is all God expects from us.

Answer 3

The way to resist temptation according to 1 Corinthinas 10:13- 14
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make a way of escape that you may bear it. Therefore my beloved FLEE from idolatry.

So you have faith that the bible is the true Word of God and follow what God's Word says. trust and obey

Flee. Run. Don't compromise.
In 1 Corinthians 7-9 the bible says "For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one ahs his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that. But I say to the unmarried and ot the widows, It is good for them if they remian even as I am, but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

So what this means is that perhaps you should be praying for a Godly partner to marry! That way you get to enjoy the beauty of a relationship with someone and honor God at the same time!

Answer 4

Jeez... some temptations are just worth attempting... ya know? Especially since there is not a thing sin. Well, unless you add an 'e' to the word 'sin', then it is merely a mathematics thing... living off the mark... maybe.

Answer 5

You resist temptation in this area by realizing that God who is faithful will not allow you to be tempted beyond with you are able to bear but with every temptation will provide a way out.

1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

The Apostle Paul warns that you have to be careful to avoid temptation lest you should fall into sin. That means that you don't go places where you know you will face temptation. If you are dating you don't go to a place where the two of you are alone. You don't fill your mind with music that talks about having sex. You don't look at TV shows or magazines that have pictures of attractive people and articles about having sex. If you inadvertantly find yourself in a situation of temptation "flee" from it, go someplace else. Don't be like Eve whom the Devil got to focus on the one thing God told her she couldn't have and start thinking about how it is pleasing to the eye and good for pleasure and desireable for making one seem mature. Instead remember that this is what God says about the situation.

1 Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from fornication, 4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God,

Paul notes that these temptations are common to all of us so you don't have to feel bad about being tempted you just have to see the situation from God's point of view. I don't know how young you are but if you're old enough to get married then you should make your self available to Christian men at the church who are also committed to waiting until marriage to have sex by serving in a ministry or something like that because Paul also wrote:

1 Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except by mutual agreement, and that for a season, so that you may devote yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, lest Satan tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

Make your thought life obedient to the will of Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty by God to the pulling down of strongholds, 5 casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ,
