Question

This is really killing me!!! I can't think, I can't sleep, I can't eat....
I hope GOD really told those guys to write something on this one.
Do you think confessing helps? I mean going to church and all that comes with it.

Answer 1

These questions of yours are loosing their edge because you changed your avatar...on the other hand imagining Condi thinking of sex and unable to carry on her normal business of plotting genocide is rather amusing!

Edit hey you're back...

Answer 2

All right, I'm not going to give you Bible verses but I'll take a stab at this one.

I remember reading a passage in the New Testament that talked about that which is filthy in life will be be filthy in the grave.

Lust is not a healthy emotion. That is why it is considered one of the seven "Deadly Sins". Lust is born of the same feelings that cause addiction and mental illness. It is a filthy urge that will do its best to consume all that is good in you and it will seek to control you. It's perfectly healthy to feel physical attraction to someone but if you only want that someone for sex then it is filthy. Sex is something beautiful and was meant to be shared by two people who love each other. The problem is, that people become infatuated with sex and care not for love. That is how it is that lust changes from a healthy physical attraction to someone into just wanting the physical act of sex with them.
Lust doesn't just include sex. It also includes covetousness...
that's why in the Ten Commandments, we are told not to covet our neighbor's wife or any servant or other thing within our neighbor's house.
Just so you understand there is a difference between "lust" and "healthy physical attraction", I have set this before you...
You may just be going through a phase in your life where you are physically amped up by the chemistry in your body.

Good luck

Answer 3

This is probably the most difficult battle for each person. We live in an age that submerges our thought with the notions that lust is normal and socially acceptable, and you see this everywhere, everyday, in movies, tv, and commerce promotion. You have taken the first step in the endeavor of reclaiming your freedom. Confession will not root out sin, but spiritual understanding rips the root of sin right out, and freedom comes. When you do bible searches, try to understand the spiritual signification of the text, rather than just reading words, and you will find exactly what you need. You will win.

Answer 4

The harder you fight, the harder it will get, no pun intended. It's like telling yourself not to think about an elephant. The best thing to do is think about something else. Any time you have lustful feelings, either pray for someone else or get up and get busy. However, you should know that men of a certain age are known to think about sex like every minute or so. Thing is, it's OK for birds to fly over as long as you don't let them build nests in your hair.

Answer 5

A lot of the somewhat steamy and erotic passages in the Bible will only fuel that lust even further. Instead, try imagining Dick Cheney in S&M bondage. That should kill your urges in an instant. LMAO!

Answer 6

If old enough, get married. If not, do some physical exercises, maybe that will wear you out. Be careful what you watch on TV, and read, and try to stay away from situations that are stimulating. The bible says that if you are inflamed with passion, it is better to marry.

Answer 7

"Finally, Brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whateer things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if ther is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things." Phil. 4:8
Memorize this verse, and repeat it to yourself often. It really, really helps. It also helps to remember that God knows what is in your mind as well as you do. The Holy Spirit should convict you of these lustful thoughts. Read your Bible! Stay in the word daily. Pray about it. Seek the Lord dilligently. You cannot do this on your own. you need Jesus. Just remember that, and He will help you through this. God Bless

Answer 8

you are able to desire to study an excellent variety of background relating to the international, the wars. you in addition to would would desire to flow out, holiday all all over the area, get greater exposure, journey the genuine lives, genuine human beings of all international locations, & their values. then you definately'll understand why God facilitates poligamy. it is not a would desire to, it is not the two notably inspired, yet a 'valid determination' for specific human beings (adult men & women) for all benevolent reasons. of course something, I repeat, something that is accepted for us to do in this international can continuously bring about the two good & evil. that is fullyyt a individual's determination, & easily God is conscious nicely.

Other Ways to Avoid Wrong Conduct

‘Follow Jehovah fully,’ as did Caleb of ancient Israel. (Deuteronomy 1:34-36) Do what God requires of you, and never consider partaking of “the table of demons.” (1 Corinthians 10:21) Reject apostasy. Partake appreciatively of the spiritual food available only at Jehovah’s table, and you will not be misled by false teachers or wicked spirit forces. (Ephesians 6:12; Jude 3, 4) Focus on spiritual things, such as Bible study, meeting attendance, and the field ministry. You are sure to be happy if you follow Jehovah fully and have plenty to do in the Lord’s work.—1 Corinthians 15:58.

Be determined to “render God sacred service with godly fear and awe.” (Hebrews 12:28) Reverential fear of Jehovah will motivate you to reject any wayward course. It will help you to conduct yourself in harmony with Peter’s counsel to fellow anointed ones: “If you are calling upon the Father who judges impartially according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves with fear during the time of your alien residence.”—1 Peter 1:17.

Constantly put into practice what you are learning from God’s Word. This will help you to avoid serious sin because you will prove to be among “those who through use have their perceptive powers trained to distinguish both right and wrong.” (Hebrews 5:14) Instead of being careless in speech and conduct, be vigilant so that you walk as a wise person, “buying out the opportune time” in these wicked days. “Go on perceiving what the will of Jehovah is,” and keep on doing it.—Ephesians 5:15-17; 2 Peter 3:17.

Allow no place for covetousness—greedy desire for what belongs to others. One of the Ten Commandments says: “You must not desire [“covet,” New International Version] your fellowman’s house. You must not desire your fellowman’s wife, nor his slave man nor his slave girl nor his bull nor his *** nor anything that belongs to your fellowman.” (Exodus 20:17) This law protected a person’s house, wife, servants, animals, and so forth. But most important is Jesus’ statement that covetousness defiles a man.—Mark 7:20-23.

Take preventive measures so that desire does not lead to sin. The disciple James wrote: “Each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.” (James 1:14, 15) For example, if a person has had a drinking problem in the past, he may decide not to have alcoholic beverages on hand in his home. To avoid temptation involving a member of the opposite sex, a Christian may need to change his work location or his place of employment.—Proverbs 6:23-28.

Do not take even the first step toward sin. Flirtation and the entertaining of immoral ideas can result in fornication or adultery. Telling small lies could embolden a person to tell big ones and might lead to the sinful practice of lying. Little thefts could dull an individual’s conscience to the point that he begins to steal on a larger scale. Even a slight toleration of apostate thinking might start one down the road to full-fledged apostasy.—Proverbs 11:9; Revelation 21:8.

Answer 10

Philippians 4:3, "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
when you start thinking on all of the good things,and Christ is the ultimate good thing, the evil will eventually flee. but also remember, i dont remember who said this quote, i think it was John Wycliffe, who said, "you cant stop a bird from flying over your head, but you can stop it from making a nest on it."
