You should choose abstinence not only to respect yourself, but God. Lots of people choose to have sex before they're married, and that is their personal choice, but at 14, that's crazy.

None of that affects your core religious beliefs or makes you any less a Christian. God's not out to judge or punish you for having natural and sexual desires. At your age however, it's best that you not act on them by having sex.
This is to keep you healthy and safe. But as far as God punishing you or condemning you it's not going to occur--or all of us would be going to hell for acting on desires. Think about it. You're still a devout catholic, a good person, and following your religion.
It's all about practicing the religious principals, following Christ etc. but as for condemnation I wouldn't worry. While the bible may make mention of waiting until one is married all of this is open to intepritation and the book is not meant to be taken literally all the time.
Regardless of if you descide to have sex before marraige most teachings say God is a loving God and not one who condemns or punishes people for things like this. He would for murder etc. Everything about sin etc. is interprited a million ways to Sunday School by each different religion sect.
Don't worry as you're a good Christian and practicing what you are taught and doing the best you can each day. That's what you should be doing. If you choose to have sex before marraige it's okay.
LiLsHaWtY08 answered Saturday March 17 2007, 12:33 am: Well, Christianity says no sex before marriage..this means sex, and any sexual activities like touching the opposite sex in an inappropriate way, etc. So considering these facts I am pretty sure that getting naked in front of a guy is just provoking his "dirty" and wrong thoughts, which christianity is also against.

xomissnoeitallox answered Wednesday March 14 2007, 10:53 pm: I think this means that you cant have intercourse. You can get naked in front of a guy if you want to, that is not considered sexx. If you just avoid intercourse then you'll be fine.
