I AM A 12 YEAR OLD CHRISTIAN BOY. FOR FELLOW CHRISTIANS ONLY: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THINKING ANOTHER GIRL (SHE'S ALSO A CHRISTIAN) IS HOT, AND LUSTING FOR THEM?

the big diffrence is what your feelings are for them. for example if you want to be with her for ***then it is lust, and you have already done it in your mind, therefor gulity of the sin. (mathew 5: 28) but if you want to be with her for fellowship of belevers then it is not lust. bevery care ful that it does not become lust and keep your mind pure (philippians 4:8). a Biblical relationship is formed arround God's word, start in group dates or goto church together, be very careful about holding hands, as this may send the wrong message, and never go out alone, always have ether more freinds or a trusted adult with you when you date. make her your prayer partner, tell her thingsto pray about for you and ask if you can pray for her about any thing. it is hard to be living the christian life as a teen, I know. but if you stay in constant prayer and in the word of God, He will help you through.

I am Jewish, but I can answer your question
There is a thin line between the two in some cases. Thinking someone is hot is not necessarily sexual in content- it is merely admitting that someone is attractive, although not necessarily to you. For example you might think that anyone is hot- boy or girl- but that does not mean that you are carnally attracted to them. When you lust after them, you are carnally attracted to them, and want them in a sexual manner. However, neither are morally wrong unless you act on them when you are not supposed to (like if this girl has a boyfriend and you 'lust' after her, and then you try and act on it and are cruel to her boyfriend), or something along that line. But honestly, I do not see how her being a christian or not affects it.
I hope this clears it up.

this is a tough one but i'll give this a try, here goes. first i am really happy to hear that you care about this subject in the first place, it shows you have a good head on your shoulders and that you care about what god thinks. he never said that people couldn't find eachother attractive but as you know he doesn't want us to lust after eachother. the difference is that you can like a girl and think she's cute BUT if you start having more intimate feelings for her and start to see her as a sexual object instead of a christian lady then you have crossed into the lust zone. yes it happens but then you need to pray about it and ask the Lord to help you deal with these feelings and to help you stay right in your mind. he forgives and he WILL help you to stay on track so that when your older you will find just the right woman for you and know how to treat her according to Gods word!! stay strong for God!!!!

It does count, because of the fact if this deranged guy or woman had ever long gone to church, the anti-christian bigots with their hate could be everywhere in the story asserting that one and all Christians are so terrible and that they are undesirable human beings. be conscious every time an athesit commits a henoius crime, the media is generally silent in this giving them a loose pass. believe me, that's the 1st element that the atheists might element out on web content if he had ever went to church. So confident, it incredibly is significant element this out that he replaced into an atheist.

Feelings are simply feelings. It is how we ACT on our feelings that matter. It is normal for a boy your age to have feelings about girls which is a matter of hormonal changes in your body. You are beginning the first steps into manhood. PLEASE do not feel guilt about perfectly normal changes in your body. You can control how you actually behave ethically and morally towards other people so that you will become a man of good character. Your Christian belief system will be a good guide. I wish you well!
(This is a legitimate question for this category.)

Lust is wanting to ripp her cloths from her pulsating body. You'ill go to hell for that unless you are maried.
Finding someone attractive is fine because it shows that you are man: A creation of God.
