Even if you succeed here....it doesn't mean she understands your intentions. She may just think you are secure, and she is safe FROM being seen as an object of your affections. I like a line from the movie "Mrs. Harris goes to Paris." The old...

So, in this interpretation, does sex=marriage? What are examples of fornication or sexual immorality for a man or a woman that would be forbidden or is it strictly those acts in Leviticus? I am clear in understanding that adultery is based on...

Yes, I think the two of you are right. It may be only a brief interaction, and I need to be patient. It's been hard because she lives far away and I only see her once a month. But I think you're right that only a brief introduction and letting...

Yes! The Greek word is πορνεία and it is defined biblically as any illicit sexual activity. What sets the bounds for appropriate sexual activity is the Word of God, and anything outside that is illicit; πορνεία. A man having sexual relations with...

Fornication is a difficult word to understand. Many of us have struggled with it. Modernity has turned it into a catch all phrase to mean anything involving sex. Some of us try to resolve the ambiguity by referring back to the actual manual on...

I have since learned this. I was 22 at the time. I love that God healed me in such a beautiful way that encouraged so many in their faith. 🙌

There’s a famous John Wooden quote that comes to mind: “Be quick but don’t hurry”. Remember that God is ultimately sovereign. Rely on his guidance, not your urge to rush into this next phase. Even if it’s just a brief introduction, it’s another...
