These are some of the most often asked questions about our current truth |
Question: Is not the subject of virginity such that should not be publicly discussed?
Answer: First, the Bible teaches about virginity. All such subjects must be discussed with dignity and proper language. (Be sure to first read Current Truth.)
Question: What do you think of the objection, "Virginity is a private, personal matter and is no one's business?"
Answer: As seen, virginity is a plain teaching of the scriptures. While it is a "personal" and "private" matter, it, along with all other moral issues, must be addressed.
Question: Does one when becoming a Christian regain their virginity?
Answer: I am aware of the teaching of some that when one becomes a Christian, they regain their physical virginity. If by this it is meant that a young woman who forfeited her virginity due to fornication may now (becomes a Christian) tell her husband to be that she is a virgin, such is dishonest and not true.
Question: What do you think is the first move toward forfeiting virginity?
Answer: This question is difficult to answer. It is certain that "first moves" would include attitude toward virginity and placing one's self in a physical position that would be conducive to giving up virginity.
Question: In view of the common lack of virginity today, don't you think that such teaching as found in Current Truths is discouraging to many?
Answer: As seen in Current Truth, there is forgiveness for the penitent. The truth must be taught and it is selfish for one to insist such subjects should not be taught in view of possible discouragement.
Question: How can you include Old Testament teaching in your treatment of virginity?
Answer: I am conversant with the simplistic view, "If it is found in the Old Testament, you must not teach it today, since we are not under the Law of Moses." There are "moral laws" and truths found in the Hebrew scriptures that are certainly applicable in principle today.
Question: How can you condemn all the people who are engaging in what you call pre-marital sex?
Answer: Current Truth only presents what God has said on the subject of virginity.
Question: Are you aware that many, even among preachers in churches of Christ do not agree with what you have taught on virginity?
Answer: Yes. However, such possible disagreement is irrelevant as far as establishing the truth is concerned.
