Does my girlfriend rolling around in bed on Sunday morning yelling "OH GOD OH GOD" count as going to church?

Yes it does.  And hopefully she was "on her knees" at some point, as well.  Hopefully she let you put it in her mouth.  Communion, that is.  Did she tell you all of her naughtiest confessions?  You went to church, my friend.  High Five!

At least you are going to church. Weather or not you actualy speak/sing while you are there shouldnt matter.

Dude, jack all week, repent on Sunday. God will love you!\n\nBut seriously, if you are looking lustfully at the women or ughh men then yes.  No the bible doesn't mention porn exactly, but what happened at Sodom and Gamora?  The bible does though give reference to certain acts.

Do you plan on having children? What beliefs are you going to raise them up with? Will he want his children to speak in tongues? Are you going to teach your kids about your idea of the rapture? I am a Jehovah's witness and we are taught to teach our children about the bible when we lie down when we get up and basically all the time. My husband and his family share my beliefs as well and I never have to worry about him teaching our kids false teachings. If you both plan on maintaining your current differing faiths it WILL put a strain on things. I am not going to say No it won't work or Yes it will. But, I have a good friend who is married to a non-Witness and that particular aspect has been a HUGE struggle in their marriage not merely from differing beliefs from her husband but from her in-laws as well who are not JW's and are very nasty to her. I can tell you for an almost  certainty you won't have that problem from his family but how will you family treat him?I don't know if your boyfriend is a baptised JW or not or if he really was brought up to have an accurate understanding of the Bible as taught by us. But, I do know that there are some things about the pentecostal beliefs that he may seriously disagree with if you really practice your faith. Really, I recommend you both sit down and seriously discuss your religious differences if you are both going to stay together. \nBut just in case you didn't know... We are Christians. Someone above stated we are not Christains I would just like to set the record straight.\n\n  Yeah and Everything Heatherloves... said below--Well put Sister!

I've been married 25 years and the way I got here was by respecting each other and that includes never putting demands in the conversation. We attend a non denominational church and I hear this dilema come up alot from former members of churchs that use guilt to keep their flock. I can't believe what I hear family, friends and even leaders in the church tell people should they decide to attend another church outside their faith.\nI do believe it is healthier for a relationship if you can worship together so I would suggest saying to your spouse that this is your choice but you would be willing to compromise.  I also wouldnt push my church on him though and expect all that guilt and pressure  to simply disappear, it won't.  If alternating isnt possible maybe  you can attend a service at a different time such as Saturday evening service with him and Sunday at your own church alone so your pleasing him and getting what you need in your life also.. Another idea is attending bible study classes or another growth class at your church during the week, keeping involved there and attend Sunday services with him but be honest and tell him your doing this. \nI can see this getting alot more complicated when children come into the picture so pray on it hard and seek council on it from your Pastor.\nFollow your heart because Jesus knows your heart and whatever you decide please don't give up worshiping him.

I doubt fun things like orgasms are allowed in the Christian heaven.  You're going to need to go to Islam heaven for that sort of thing.  Just ask for a transfer. :)

Real simple: MARRY HER! What you're implying- SEX OUTSIDE MARRIAGE- is called "fornication" by God, which is SIN! You are VERY SELFISH! All you want to do is USE HER for your own gratification! The fact that you say you want to "convince her to go farther" PROVES this! You need to REPENT OF YOUR WICKEDNESS! See yourself as a LOST, GUILTY, HELL DESERVING SINNER! You are guilty of breaking God's law! "Thou shalt not commit adultery". Jesus said that if you "look on a woman to lust after her", you've "committed adultery with her already in your heart." (Matthew 5:27&28). Dude, you are A SLAVE TO YOUR PASSIONS! You are CONSUMED WITH LUST! Sex and all of the wonderful feelings that go with it are GOD GIVEN, and therefore "very good" as He pronounced after He had made Adam and Eve. But they were MARRIED! And that is why they were "naked and not ashamed". I would dare to say that your "girlfriend" is not your FIRST "fling", IS SHE? Are you still A VIRGIN? Even if you are OUTRIGHT, it's obvious you're not IN YOUR HEART! And I can guarantee that you are hooked on PORN, right? That stuff is DEADLY! You fill your mind and heart with ALL SORTS OF FILTH AND PERVERSION AND WICKEDNESS, and then you wonder WHY you have NO CONTROL over your passions! You're a slave to SATAN! The Bible rightly calls the devil "the god of this world". He ALWAYS takes what God has created as good and right and beautiful and perverts it into something very UGLY AND WICKED AND WRONG! That is what SIN is all about! The Bible speaks of "the pleasures of sin FOR A SEASON." You can "go all the way" or "part way", but EITHER WAY, it's still S-I-N!!! And it's basis is PRIDE! Notice how BOTH of those words have the letter "i" in the center! That's your problem: you are SELF CENTERED! You need to REPENT (turn from your sin and yourself) and TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO SAVE YOU FROM YOUR SINS AND THE WRATH TO COME! One day you will die, and then you'll have to face the inevitable: ACCOUNTABILTY TO YOUR CREATOR FOR EVERY THOUGHT, WORD AND DEED! God loves you, and that's why Jesus Christ died on the cross for you! I beseech you sir: TURN FROM YOUR WICKED, SELF CENTERED WAYS TO CHRIST! And you need to do so TODAY! Tomorrow is too late! (You do NOT know when you'll die, now, DO YOU?) Quit being like so many OTHER guys today: A SELF CENTERED WHOREMONGER! Stop having this SICKENING mentality of just USING GIRLS for your own selfish pleasure! It really IS disgusting how so many guys will just SAY "I love you" to a girl SOLELY so they can "get what they want"! Love is A COMMITMENT! Everything else is LUST! And that is DESTRUCTIVE and ultimately leads to DEATH: Death in your body (STD'S); Death in relationships (resentment, mistrust, disrespect, divorce); Death in eternity (Hell fire for ever!). THINK ABOUT IT, AND TAKE HEED!

How about this:\n\n*Tell her it must be okay, because Catholic priests and televangelists do it all the time...\n*Remind her that Jesus himself said that the faithful should be able to handle snakes...\n*Tell her that the first people really beloved by God were always naked.\n*Use the old "Be fruitful and multiply" approach.\n*Ask her if she knew that the phrase "Oh God" is the most common phrase women use during sex, so there must be a connection.\n*Don't even bother using any of these lame @ss ideas. Just dump the little goody-two-shoes. She may be hot, but a 7 that puts out is infinately better than a 10 that doesn't...\n\n-SD-

Yes now is a good time to tell her, and if she dont believe you let her see passions of the Christ.  Just tell her what you know and what you feel and why you feel,and it may take longer than 1 talk,take her to church, if you have a minister you could have him maybe talk with her....go to this sight,it may help you ,its my blog group,join if you like..look in links...\n\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/understandingthebible/

The Bible tells us to pray and Worship the Lord!  I don't know what you think is so funny about it, but church isn't just open on Sunday!  Also I don't think anyone should have to confess their sins a a Priest, the only ONE who can forgive me of my sins is GOD and GOD alone, so I will repent to HIM and ONLY HIM!  Because you are right a Catholic Priest is just a regular man and who gives him the right to say whether you are forgiven, because if you Don't ask your Heavenly Father to fogive you you ARE NOT forgiven!

YES....  I think church is just a big party for god, and that is ok!  I do not attend church, and I believe.  It's just ya have to goto church or your a  bad type person.  I never will understand that.  I always hear, if you don't attend church then your not doing anything good, you don't believe,  and I say ya know I have enough bills to pay without donations to the church!  That collection thing gets to me?  Why?  Everyone is in a daze?  TAKE MONEY!!!!!

I would never go to church again. Nothing is as boring as sitting down to listen to a lecture on a subject that I dont care about, droning out some old hymns, putting money in the offering plate, and shaking hands with the elderly. In fact, i might give up sex if it would keep me out of church forever.

Our God is a wonderful savior who knows our predicaments and our shortcomings.He also is loving and kind. We need to in sincerity turn to Him in our times of trouble and He will help us. Yes worshiping idols is a sin and God forbids us to do so. Sincerely pray to God and ask Him to help you in your situation and God will open a way for you. Slowly open up to your in-laws and show then Gods love and pray for them that they would know Jesus Christ in a personal way. Keep loving them and this way God would touch the hearts of your in-laws and also of your husband. Gods understands our situations and He gives us time to set our life right. Pray sincerely join some church or fellowship and above all start having family prayers every morning and at night apart from the quiet time that you can have with God alone. God will set you free from this Sin and problem. Trust God to help you. You have made the right decision by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior. You can never lose. Trust God. We too shall be praying for you sister. If there is anything more to know please leave a note here and I will add to it. God Bless you sister.

She should be in subjection if and I say if you are being a God fearing husband to her,you are supposed to love her as yourself, you know.If you are doing what the Lord commands you to do you should let her know that she is hindering prayers and that you can't be blessed with disobedience.Read the 3rd chapter of 1 Peter to her. I really hope you are sincere with this question because if you are one of these people just asking to slander the children of God or mock God, then God have mercy on you.
