Purity Force Challenge (The Dissapointment)

Learning what they mean with 'sexual impurity'

Yeah, that's right. With my first day exercises, I asked my 'mentor' what they consider to be sexual impurity. Let's quote here :

"As for sexual impurity, it is Biblically defined as all sex other than that between a man and woman bound in Holy matrimony and entered into in love and with mutual consent of both husband and wife. Sexual impurity would include premarital sex, premarital touching of another's sexual organs or touching them in a way so as to arouse them sexually, masturbation, either by yourself or with someone else, and, in a marriage, forcing something sexual upon your spouse to which she objects"

My gosh.
I really don't like the 'premarital' word there.
I consider asking the guy what they mean by 'premarital', but I suppose there's no hope for me. Ah well, on to the next days.

Day 2.

Wow! God's household! God is the King of the universe! We're of His household?!!? The Bible says it, so it must be true, Bart! We are of God's household, therefore we are adopted into His royal blood! Amazing! We are heirs. (Look at Galatians 4 again!) That's total reality if you know God and have a relationship with him through Jesus Christ.

This rather over-enthousiastic bit introduces me to another couple of questions, about my relationship with Jesus and my thoughts about being 'family' with God. Nothing note-worthy here, except for a lot of reading.

Mandatory questions :

Sexually pure ? Yeah
Committed to staying pure ? Well, knowing that no premarital sex is allowed, this might get tough. But okay, I'll say yes.

Day 3.

If only all my tests at school were this easy :

Question 1. According to this verse, what is at the right hand of God?
Question 2. According to this verse, who is at the right hand of God?

Next paragraph :

Note: The above verse tells us that there are eternal riches and pleasures at the right hand of God, and Jesus is at the right hand of God. Do you see it? The message is clear: In Jesus Christ is eternal pleasure! Sin's pleasures are only "for a season" but with Jesus Christ the pleasure never ends! Eternal pleasure!

Right. Why not start with those pleasures right away, and allow us to have premarital sex ?? If we're gonna get those pleasures anyway, might as well give us a preview of it ..

"Pure in heart" doesn't mean that you never have an impure thought or do something wrong.

Ahaa ! Now we're talking. Let's focus on this part, shall we ? So I can do something wrong ?? I'll keep this in mind.

I eventually end the day's exercises with posting this at the end of my last answer :

How are you today, [name of mentor]?? Did you ever take this course ? How was it for you ? Wasn't it hard for you to not have any premarital sex ? Didn't you have sex at all before you joined this course ?? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just interested .. :)

Sexually pure ? Yeah
Committed ? Still having doubts because of that 'premarital' part. But okay, I'll say yes.
