Is this good advice to give a Christian?--?

I have several christian friends and of different walks of faith. They always come to me because I am considered the ';wise'; one of the group. Now regarding questions about sex/relationships... people often ask me the shoulds and should nots when it comes to it. Tell me if this is good advice:





When in a ';relationship (could be with a friend OR opposite sex)'; it is good not to do anything you would NOT do in front of a small child.





I would like to hear from you all of different faiths because like I said before, I have friends from all walks... thanks. :)Is this good advice to give a Christian?--?
From a Christian point of view, with a boyfriend/girl friend you should never do anything that you wouldn't want ANYONE to walk in on, not just a small child. I've heard people say you shouldn't ask how far is too far, but instead ask how pure can we be? But you're right in that you definitely wouldn't want to do anything you wouldn't do in front of a small child, but I just think that you need to be even stricter than that.Is this good advice to give a Christian?--?
One would never have sex if one applied that rule literally (since exposing any small child to any sexual act is wrong.)





It might be better to say when in a relationship, it is good not to do anything to make the other person feel less holy and spiritual than they are. Whatever sanctifies them, sanctifies the relationship. Whatever desecrates them, desecrates the relationship (and that includes preaching to them and making them feel less than special or small or wrong.)





Wisdom means giving the man who likes apples an apple, and the man who likes oranges an orange, and planting one of each tree so that apples and oranges may be plentiful for both.
Well I believe you should take into consideration the religious beliefs of your friends, and of course their age. For some premarital sex is just fine, while for others it is a sin. I think your answer is a bit vague but well thought out nonetheless
Get a head start on life and make them pay for your advice. You could be the next Dr. Phil. LoL, or ask WWBD
That is a pretty good standard. Or with your _____________ (sister, brother, mother, etc).
I can certainly understand the spirit of what you're trying to say, and at first glance, I'd be inclined to say it's generally good advice. However, many people ignore their consciences and morality, unfortunately.





For instance, if you consider Muhammad, whom the Muslims regard as a prophet, you couldn't give that advice to him. He did not do things in front of a small child; he did things TO a small child. He married a six-year-old girl and had sex with her when she was nine. Here's proof:





Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64


Narrated 'Aisha:


that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).





So, you can't really say something like that to Muslims. As for your advice, it's better to say, ';Don't do anything you would NOT do in front of God,'; because He actually is watching. If we were only aware of His presence at all times, we'd be much less inclined to justify our sinful actions.
I think you need to give advice that's comes in your mind first.. Because if you are wise enough you can't give wrong advise.
sounds ok. I tell the kids in our youth group that when they use the computer they should act like Jesus is behind them
I would say you're not going to be much fun
good advice?? dating and petting is NOT a Biblical perspective.... why should you kiss ANYONE who is ACTUALLY the future spouse of someone else??????????
you should do things as if someone is watching but not necessarily a small child there are things that a young child might not need to see but if they are not present then in my opinion it doesn't matter god is watching
try using the bible to answer life questions like this. your opinion, while ';wise';, is just that...your opinion.





the bible is meant to be the standard in our Christian walk...i'd hate to stand before God and try saying, ';but she told me it was ok...';
I do it infront of youngins
Reminds me of when I was taught to drive. My dad said to always drive like I had a cop behind me and Jesus beside me.
Oh my goodness something you wouldn't do in front of a small child or what they wouldn't do.





Maybe the kindest advice would be ';I know from experience that sexual activity at your age can make you wise but confused.';
The Bible says to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you! In other words, we should spend our time focusing on our relationship with God, and in His perfect timing, He will bring the perfect mate into our lives! Until that happens, we should not enter into ';relationships'; that are not appointed by and centered on the Lord!
