I am a new Christian, I have only been saved for about 3 years. I wasnt raised in the church or anything like that. But lately I have been in Bible Study and i am really trying to be a good Christian so i need some help.
I know that the Bible says that one should abstain from sex before marriage. So what do you do when you are older and you may have experienced that act prior to your commitment to Christ? I mean a lot of things are easier said then done if you feel my drift. So if someone can give me some encouragement of some personal advice I could sure use it. thanks
If you dont feel comfortable answering this question then please PM me. Cause im fo-real serious.

I appreciate your spirit and thirst for knowledge. On GC, you're going to get a lot of "information" tinged with people's "opinion." Be real careful about what you take to heart from anyone here (myself included). Basically, the Bible says that sex (I'm assuming you're talking intercourse) should be reserved for a marriage relationship. You say you're a new Christian, so first I say to you, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Second, I'd suggest you speak to the pastor, or a lay minister at your church about your questions. Their answer should have some scriptural basis, as well as an explanation of the spiritual context in which the passages they reference come from. With that information, hopefully you'll be able to see some linkage between your quest for information and what they have to say.
Then, I'd get away by yourself and pray; pray for spiritual discernment and guidance about what you've just been given. Continue to read and study and dialogue with others that you believe are walking in the faith. (II Timothy 2:15).
I hope I've helped a lil' bit.
peace.
