Lust is something Christ can hammer out. Pray for it, and what min said.\n\nDon't pick and choose, lust HAS to go, NO MATTER how you choose to serve God, lust HAS to go.

Hey, there! As a future preacher myself, I feel well-qualified to answer your question. First off, realize that if by "get crazy" you're talking about "a one night stand", then you might as well give up. No preacher worth his salt is going to do the nasty with a woman unless he marries her first.\n\nIf you don't mind the marriage requirement, here are some guidelines for snagging yourself a preacha-man. The first tip is an obvious one: go to church. Like one other person said, we hang out there. Second, show yourself to be a woman with some morals. We are (or at least are supposed to be) the "nice guys", and we like "nice girls." Finally, avoid any jokes that might be interpreted as sacreligious. We have a sense of humor, but it generally stops there.\n\nAnyway, I hope that helps. I'd give you my number, but I'm taken. LOL

It all depends on what you are truly trying to accomplish concerning that circumstance. \nAsk yourself that question.  Does your answer serve your "goal"?  Does it state who you are?  Are you ready for the consequences, good or bad?  Do you want to experience the consequences?\nHeart and logic, my dear.  I cannot tell your soul what to do, you must choose your path yourself.  But you must know that choices and intentions have results, some of which may not be so pleasant.\n(A little hint, sex solely for the sake of sex may not come out to be as fun in the very end as it was in the beginning.)

The best advice that I can give you  is to consult with your minister (if you have one) or a minister in your area. Also, spend time studying your Bible and talk to the people around you who are practicing the Faith. \nThe decision you are making is a great one and I commend you on that. My prayers are with you as you continue to learn and grow in your Faith. Good luck and best wishes in your journey...

Do not waste your good looks and intelligence by following the ways of the world.  Seek the narrow gate.  Few be those who find it.  Most are on the broad road to destruction.  Seek to be in the same company as Noah and his small brood, who were chosen to survive the flood which killed billions.  Seek to be in the select company of Lot, who survived the fiery destruction of the dead sea valley cities including Sodom and Gomorrah.  Even Lot's wife did not escape, as she turned back longing for the worldly pleasures of those sinful cities.\n\nAbstain from all fornication and worldly sin.  Submit only to a righteous man of God, whom you marry.  Be fruitful and multiply with him.  Be as the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31.  Find a King James Bible and read this chapter carefully.\n\n"Religion" does not usually save you, as it is just a crude and usually commercial attempt by man at communing with God.  Walking with God is a wholly individual preoccupation, wholly between you and the Creator.\n\nMay God call you aside to be one of his saints.  May God bless you truly.

Maybe go back to your guidance counsler and ask her what your alternatives are.  If you attend a church the priest/pastor might also be able to help you.  There has to be other alternatives for you out there.  Knowing that you may need help is the first step.. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders.  Keep it up and stay safe.

As a Catholic, it is forbidden. I chose to be a Catholic, so I'm going to obey its laws. Religious reasons aside, sex IS NOT MEANT TO BE A CONTACT SPORT, solely to satisfy sexual urges.This is my opinion only , and I'm sure that there are a lot who are frowning upon my answer to this question.

No one can be in favour of abortion and be simultaneously a Catholic. It's one or the other. You might continue attending Mass and whatever else but your pro-choice belief is totally at odds with the faith of the Church and automatically excludes you from being in full communion with Christ and His Church.

The Catholic faith is one of few if not the only faith where a minister is not allowed to have a wife. I see all of these holier than thou people answering yes, but you should go back and ask them if they have been abstaining. Anstinence is hard if not darn near impossible. Sex is a physiological need. Such as eating, drinking and sleeping. I believe Catholic priests should be allowed to haves. If this change is made I guarantee you the cases of child molestation, which coincidentally involves young boys not females, because they Catholic faith teaches them to abstain from sex with females and hadn't addressed homosexuality, would decrease. The answer to the second question is yes. There are not only bishops in the Catholic faith but other faiths as well such as Baptist, Apostiolic etc.

How about becoming a legally ordained minister... easiest course in the world. You just give them your name.\n\nThen you can go around absolving people, marrying people and baptizing babies. Its fun!

God bless you, my friend.  You are certainly obeying the Lord's will by abstaining from homosexual behavior while you are under the tremendous temptation that sex imposes on a young man. As with so many of life's tough problems, you must put yourself completely in Jesus' hands if you wish for a completely satisfactory solution.\nThe One who made the blind see, and the lame walk, is perfectly able to heal you of your desire for sexual immorality.  I pray you will direct your efforts to Him, and only to Him, as you struggle with your particular temptations.  Give Him your will, your heart, and your fleshly desires each morning, and whenever you feel the pull of sin.  And TRUST in Him!  Remember, He often told people that it was their FAITH that made His miracles happen.  \nI can't tell you how much I admire your courage in sticking by the Lord and tackling this difficult problem instead of just giving in to it as so many others have done.  May God look upon you in perfect love and mercy, and may He richly bless you with faith, and strength, and healing.  You'll be in my prayers, friend--hang in there!

I just start praying and telling myself truths like the devil is a lier and he is decieving me. Think of all the bad things that can come from it. That is how I get through it. My fiance and I are trying to stop having sex untill marriage because we just recently go back into church. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but don't give up never give up, that is the worst thing you can do. Even if you slip up just keep going and try again.

Please, forget about the bible and all that crap, masturbation is a throughly natural human response. You will not go to hell for it and it will not make you a sex maniac.

I most certainly thirecognizee a priesthood Vatican 111 there are so many problems within our church that drasticawomeneed Ironing out 1.Should Priests be allowed to marry I say Yes, this is a man made law not God's\n2.Should a married man be able to be Pope? No because the day to day working load of the pope would take up all 0f his or her time  this also goes for Bishops.\n4. Should we ordain women to the preisthood? Yes we are so drastically short of priests world wide certainly call womwn to be priests\n3 Should the church recognise homosexuals, Yes God made each and everyone of us in his own likeness, People do not PICK TO BE Homosexuals they are truly born this way, we must learn to love respect and welcome them all as friends, I love my Lord and God and do not agree that he would turn his back on these people, Do you know any they are usually nice patient loving souls.

If you are religiously affiliated, you could work as a missionary.  Please excuse the prior and uncouth response from the waste of space stranger.  Good luck with your mission.  Its a worthy endeavor.  Not only AIDS, but HPV, the disease/ virus that causes sterility and cervical cancer in many women are worthy abstinence arguments for religious and non-religious audiences.
