“Virginity is a idol for many” is something only a modern pastor could say. Sure, it can, but do you know how hilariously out of lockstep this kind of messaging is in modern American culture?

Virginity should not be the #1 factor Christians look for when considering who to marry. Godliness and being attracted to them is. Virginity matters, and it's a blessing from God. It's not wrong to desire someone who is a virgin. And past sexual sin regularly carries present-day consequences. But I fear we've placed virginity on such a high pedestal that it's become an idol for many. The Bible doesn't say that someone "is free to be married to anyone [they want] — only if they're a virgin." It says that someone "is free to be married to anyone [they want] — only in the Lord (aka, only if they're a Christian)" (1 Cor. 7:39). In other words, what matters above all else is that your spouse is a believer, virgin or not. Again, while desiring to marry a virgin isn't a bad thing, it becomes a bad thing if it causes you to miss out on marrying the person who truly matters: the man or woman who's born-again, passionate about Jesus, excellent in the God-given characteristics of a godly wife or husband, and physically attractive to you. And a mature Christian should desire those things in a potential spouse above all else, regardless of the past sins the person may have gone through (though they should certainly weigh out that aspect as well in this decision, since it does matter).

This reveals how lame and boorish the remake inventory systems are.
Both in style and functionality.

“This is precisely the British failing.” “That is why Britain declines.” “Prosperity without pride is something we want no part of.” I truly love this line. The idea of valuing one’s pride before prosperity feels profoundly British to me, and deeply admirable. Whenever I come across this kind of dignity, my respect for Britain and the British people only grows stronger. 🏴LOVE❤️

Nothing but spite for what I've seen from many pastors and self-professing Christians as of late. You are all fools basking in the praise of marrying a harlot, damming your kids to an identity crisis, or both.
This is the LORD's judgement, and He will vindicate what is virtuous.

That's not even the point. The point is that men are constantly told that they need to be chaste, but young women in the church are not taught the same thing. And when young men rightly pick up on how risky it would be to marry a woman with a past and avoid such things, they're told to throw that caution to the wind because we suddenly think salvation erases the present consequences of destructive behaviour. That is not just foolish, it's dangerous.

Lotta Christian men talking about Christian women with a promiscuous past on this app. Anecdotally, the young, churched men were more promiscuous than the young churched women when I was growing up. I am in my mid 30s. Perhaps that's changed with the younger generation. But all y'all ignoring that promiscuity is certainly not limited to women.
