I’m shocked you would tell teenagers not to have sex!

Question:

Wow, I've just read an answer to "Is it bad that I want to see my boyfriend naked" and was shocked, do you honestly want to ruin a relationship between two teenagers by saying they should end their relationship because they might end up having sex?  Do you really believe that God wouldn't let his children into heaven just because they've had sex? Just because some experimental teenagers followed what their instincts are telling them?  These kids are growing up, they're allowed to experiment.  I really do not understand what goes through Evangelical Christian's heads. It's crazy! Belief in God and the Bible is decreasing around the world, and if people are told 'you will not get into heaven if you touch genitals' then obviously no one would have faith in God. I'm not trying to insult you, I'm just confused.  I don't know what to believe, but I don't believe God would refuse someone's right to heaven for having sexual intercourse.

Answer:

No, you are not confused. You are pretending to be ignorant of morality.

"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God" (I Corinthians 6:9-10).

"Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman" (I Corinthians 7:1).

What you display is typical of people who close their minds against God. One of the first things to go is the restraint on sexual behavior.

"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools ... Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen" (Romans 1:20-22, 24-25).

What goes through this Christian's head is the teachings of God. It has never been about popularity or numbers; it is solely about a love for truth. "For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ" (Galatians 1:10).

"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matthew 7:13-14).

There is no right to heaven. God offers an undeserved gift to live with Him to those who love Him enough to obey Him (John 14:15; I John 5:3).

Question:

The no homosexuals thing is also ridiculous. Right, I'm setting up my own religion, a religion ... of cake.

Answer:

While the questioner originally presented an implication of believing in God and the Bible, it was clear that no such belief existed in this person. Her response, merely confirms that she is an atheist, who is not confused, but who has her mind made up to be against morality.
