Q:
I met a guy last year, and we have been going out since then. The thing is,he has been willing to have sex and keeps pushing me to do it. I know that it isagainst God's law, but I don't want to wait.If I found the right guy (which I think that I have), at the perfect place and time, Ithink that I could do it. But if I don't do it now, I am afraid I might lose him.I will hold on as long as I can, but please answer quickly. I don't want to lose him.

A:
You are honest, Pat, and I respect that. And that means I'm going to be honest withyou, completely honest and straight up. After all, we're not talking kiddy games here.I sense you do not understand what a dangerous path you are on. You simply don'trealize how high the stakes are in your decision whether or not you go to bed with thisguy.You're well aware that sex before marriage is against God's law. You admit that. Youknow that it's wrong. I know it's wrong. God tells us it's wrong.It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexualimmorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a waythat is holy and honorable, not in a passionate lust like the heathen, whodo not know God.
—I Thessalonians 4:3-5God again makes it very clear in Ephesians 5:3:But among you there must not even be a hint of sexual immorality, or ofany kind of impurity… because these are improper for God's holy people.That's what God tells you, Pat, about premarital sex. And about this guy—he doesn'treally love you. If he did, would he ask you to do something against God's law when heknows you want to obey God? No. Absolutely not.He's not thinking about you. He's thinking about his glands and what he wants. And in 1Corinthians 13:5, in the love chapter, we are told that love "is not self-seeking."This guy isn't concerned about what's right and wrong. The truth of God's law doesn'tmatter to him. And again in 1 Corinthians 13, verse 6, God says,
