What's the point?!?!

A recent discussion with a friend has sparked these thoughts and is truly the inspiration for this post!!!

We as guys hold onto a deep responsibility that is very hard given our sin nature but also given the way God created us.  By nature we are sexual beings, God made us this way... however given the Fall of Man we have warped our nature into something immoral.  I don't believe things have changed over the centuries... if you read God's Word we see that the pagan nations as well as the Israelites warped God's command of a one-man and one-woman relationship of marriage.  Sexual Immorality raced throughout the world and overwhelmed the marital relations.  People choose desires and pleasure over commitment.

Summarizing my discussion, she is dating a young man (based off the discussion I observe he is NOT a believer in Christ though I am NOT judging for God is the only One to Judge the truth of a man's heart... I observe his actions).  She tells me that he wants to "test" their love for each other by "experimenting" with other young women!  I told her "Honey break up right now!!!"

""Experiment" with other woman"... those were her exact words!  What a sick world we live in.  Us men are on a mission... it is not to test the love of woman for we already know the woman will love us... that is clearly obvious (in my opinion and based off what I read in the Bible and other books).  This young man has his mind warped.

Quite frankly I am ticked (... I want to use the other word cause I am extremely mad)!!!!!!!   As someone who wants to protect women and their purity, as well as my own for I have taken abstinence commitments, this enrages me.  "Experiment with women"!?!?  NO!!! We don't do that... yet Satan has done such a great job at warping our minds using many things in this world that we don't monitor... the media being one of them and probably the easiest to manipulate and then use to manipulate others in mass.

As Christian men we are to protect the woman and her purity... yet I rarely see that among us.  We talk about them as "experiments" utterly breaking their hearts.It is truly a horrible thing what we do and I am ashamed to be apart of a gender that does that... yet I set my standards much higher so that shame is wiped away because the truth is out there and has set me free.  Yes the truth is in Christ Jesus for salvation but there is another truth that I am talking about!

That truth is treating a woman the way God would treat her.  Respect for who she is and ultimately respecting, loving, cherishing, and honoring her regardless your relationship to her.  I am convinced spreading this message through word and actions women's self-esteem will rise through the roofs and men will start seeing that they are not "experiments"!

It pains me to hear this about "experimenting" with woman and then some of her responses to my urgency for her to break up with him which currently she won't... It just breaks my heart... Keep praying!!!
