In virtual reality games you can do that. Just don't do it in real life.

Sinning in VR doesn't mean it's a victimless crime. Many porn addicts justify what they do by thinking it's victimless; however, it's not. A porn addict longs for companionship and oftentimes seeks it out. But in many ways they're crippled. The character defects that led them them into their addiction in the first place, plus further crippling by years of indulgence in their addiction, make it virtually impossible for them to develop any kind of meaningful relationships. They leave in their wake a string of hurt, confused and heartbroken people who didn't realize they were getting involved with a sex addict.

So no, it's not a victimless crime any way you slice it. Sin hurts people, and many times their are unintended consequences.

yikes lol

We may even get virtual reality marriage soon from the church in the hope that real people in the church treat there virtual reality partners accordingly or there may come a time when virtual reality develops a conscience. Or the conscience of a person could be transferred into a robot. What then ?.
I read some research that machines are coming soon that can automatically speak your thoughts.

Here they are, I wouldn't be surprised if they hit the market soon, it looks like a definite step towards machines developing a conscience. Or a conscience of a human one day being transplanted into a machine.

If that ever happens you could kiss Christianity goodbye because people would live forever inside a machine not caring about life after death. It could even spark tribulation.

But let's say it happens and it doesn't ignite God to start tribulation what then ?.
Do you think if it was to happen God would start the tribulation ?.

I do, but some Christians call things sins, which are not.
ah ok John I guess I must be sinner then.

Vilonce is vilonce John.

Committing murder in mind is no different to commiting murder for real, but committing mass murder in mind daily for hours on end and feeling the sensation of it for hours on end is probably Hitler terroity.
So despite showing you evidence proving kids become numb to vilonce develop anger issues and carry out crimes after vilonce games.
And a member showing you committing sin in your heart you have already sinned,

Your still going to deny all that ?.

So if a person who is single THINKS about sex and it's a sin, they may as well go out and have sex if it's the same thing.

Concerning Christians and divorce, it appears Jesus gave only one reason for divorce, that is fornication. Paul on the other hand gave more of an Old Testament reasons for divorce. But, even he admits it's from him and not the LORD.

in 1 Corinthians, Paul transitions in verse 12 to say, “…I, not the Lord, say…” and then he addresses when an unbelieving spouse leaves the relationship. This does not question the inspiration of Scripture. Paul is just saying the Lord did not address abandonment. Jesus had not given any previous revelation on the subject. Paul says you don’t have to fight it if an unbeliever leaves a believer, and that remarriage is permissible for the offended spouse. Jesus said adultery is grounds for divorce. Paul gives us one other ground for divorce, abandonment. These are the only two.

depends how you define sex John, sex is defined as an intamite relationship between a man and women that must be commited to God and is preferred by God to be carried out after marriage

so if you SEE a woman, and think about what it would be like to have sex with her, it's sin?

Yes. The Bible calls that lust.
lust after
ἐπιθυμῆσαι (epithymēsai)
Verb - Aorist Infinitive Active
Strong's Greek 1937: To long for, covet, lust after, set the heart upon. From epi and thumos; to set the heart upon, i.e. Long for.

It means to set your heart upon doing the act with that woman.

so all you can do now is try and throw insults? Just answer the question like an adult.
