See I've been dating this girl for 2 months almost 3 and she wants to show me a picture of her in a regular bathing suit is that a sin or wrong in any way? I just got saved so I'm very new to all the beliefs.
Thanks,
God Bless

Okay so she's taking it because I said I had never seen her in a bathing suit does that make it sinful?

If you think the picture would put a different picture in your mind of her, tell her that you want to respect her by not seeing her in something so revealing. After all, unless you guys are married, her body does not belong to you.
We must be careful about things like lust and sexual temptation. That is one area that is very strong and can easily take us (particularly us guys) "off the wall". So, we should be careful of the images we look at and the thoughts we ponder. It is not easy - after all, them females are pretty good lookin'.
Also, side note - in your dating, make sure you don't go anywhere with your girlfriend where you are all alone. That can breed trouble. Spend time at each other's houses when the folks are at home, out with friends and such. This way, you are in a "safety zone". In all this, you will still get to know her quite well.
There are some pretty good books out there, like, "True Love Waits" - I cannot recall the author. Speaks much about ground rules and safety in dating.

no! Definatly not. As long as you're not having sex. How many times have u seen a girl in a bathing suit, like a million! I mean really if that was a sin we'd all be burning in hell right now!

I dont think its wrong...but it does say in the bible ill just word it more to where it could be understood> that if you lok at someone and in your mind had already had thoughts such as sexual acts and what not that you have already commited it with your heart..So if you looked at it in a way to where it would be lusting her or along that line then it would be wrong.

If that's the case looking at a sales paper with women outfits in it is a sin.......... To think your girlfiend as pretty or sexy is not a sin......more like a normal attraction but, anything further might lead to sin. keep the faith.....and don't worry about sin so much.....Just being saved is enough for today

That depends on what's in your heart. God knows what that is, by the way. Just remember that. Jesus said "If you even look at someone in lust, you are committing adultery." So, with that in mind, you make a choice. God Bless

no it is not a sin it is natural for a guy to admire a beautiful girl that is Gods plan, lusting after every female you see is a sin though.

Form your own beliefs, even if they're Christian. Don't heed the advice of random Christians on the internet. Who knows what their motives are, or if they're hypocritical. Read the Bible if you find it useful, and make up your own mind. Think of the harm you could really be doing to yourself or others when it comes to things like this. I don't see harm in a consentual action like this.
In my opinion, sexual urges are not only normal, but necessary in order to understand whether you are compatible with someone. Christianity might have good intentions for its criminalization of sexual impulses and urges, but I think it has led many, many people in harmful directions over the centuries.

No, It is not a sin at all.
As long as you do not have evil in your heart, Jesus and the lord will understand.
I am a devout catholic and attend mass several times a week, and have learned not only that god designed man in his own image, but also designed man to act and feel the way that they do.
Dont break her heart though haha
God bless

There's only ONE reason a girl offers a boy a photo of herself in a swimsuit and that's to show off her figure and incite a sexual response in him, to create desire for her and thereby strengthen the bond between you two (but sex can NEVER be the only binding force for long.)
If she was only interested in giving you a photo of herself as a keepsake, it'd be a photo of her fully and modestly clothed.

To look? Absolutely not.
Thinking lustful thoughts is the sin.
