Blame the pastors.
They no longer preach against premarital sex.
They talk of money, tithe, offering and prosperity.

They don't expelled unrepentant sinners cos they want to retain their members.

Church leaders dey lash, and on Sunday will come to church acting like they are in spirit.

Blame pastors? Very funny.You don't have bible to read again?. Nobody needs a pastor to tell u right or wrong. They are there for guidance and encouragement. In fact, your knowledge of the bible will help you identify fakes or wrong preaching. No pastor will stand beside his member on the last day. Na OYO

It a personal decision to choose life or death.


They know God will punish them but they prefer fornicator cos of the pleasure they derive and are willingly to lose the permanent blessings from been obedient to gain the temporary enjoyment of Sin.

Fornication no dey help anyone.

I know many will castigate me or hate me for this. But then it is what is happening around in so many churches. Almost all religions in the world promotes moral chastity. Even the traditional religion does.

Christianity isn't left out. For over 10-15 years many us have been going to church, reading in the Bible that fornication and sexual immorality is a serious SIN against God. And those practicing it will not inherit His kingdom. 1 Corinthians 6: 9. Yet after reading this, Many wont stop to fornicate.

To this extent, many Christian brothers and sisters, have form their own moral standard. They claim it wrong to sleep with one you are not dating, but as along you both are dating, there is nothing wrong if you both have sex.

It wonders one to think if the Bible says fornication is only for those dating.
I Corinthians 7:1-5 makes it clear sex was for only married people.
1 Thessalonian 4:3-8 urges all Christians to flee from fornication.

From what is happening in today churches, people no longer has issues engaging in premarital sex. They believe as long they obey other laws it more than enough. No matter how many times they read it in their Bible, it wont stop them. Their conscience doesn't trouble them.

The hypocritical part is, they are quick to condemn prostitutes. You defile your body for free, prostitutes does it for money, who is now cheap? They condemn homosexuals and say it a serious SIN and yet they glorify fornication to an extent that people are virgins are regarded as fools. Ask yourself who really is God proud of?

The truth is no true christian or a God-fearing person will indulge in fornication. Even if he does, he repents and never return back to it.

There are no ways about it. You cant slave for two masters. It either you are a slave to sex or to God. And as the Bible tells us, the sins of sexual immorality leads to eternal destruction. Who fornication epp?

Why don't we live by what we read in our Bible? It definitely mean 95% of Christians wont not inherit the Kingdom of God. God has no double standard.

Op Christ died for sins. So if they don't sin, he would have died for nothing.

Truth is people just want to try God and they feel everyone is doing it so it doesn't matter. it will NEVER be right. imagine people who date about ten persons before they marry, they would have had sex with all that ten and you think God is happy about it. waiting is hard but in the end you will be glad you did.

My reply is this. 1cor 3:16

You can flee fornication by the help of the Holy Spirit.

Thinking of it = Doing it

The difference is that the thinker has the Grace of God not to do it.

Once you find your self either thinking it or doing it, ask for God's mercy and repent from it.

The truth is that, apart from fleeing from fornication for the purpose of obeying God's commandment, It is also an added advantage for the singles. You are protecting your life and you will also be proud of your dignity.

Re: Why Do Christians Still Fornicate After Knowing It's A Serious Sin? by jkross(m): 11:25pm On Jun 12, 2016
Because they are still under the power of sin...Sin has power especially sexual sin...Atimes you notice the inner voice urging you not to do it...thats the spirit man but the flesh wants it so bad...At this point the will which is the soul begins to struggle if the flesh suceeds in subduing the will i.e soul and the spirit loses....The sin act will be committed ...It is why the bible commanded Christians not to walk in the flesh...and also says by flesh shall no man please God..Funny enough not everyone you see inside the church is a christian....What does it mean to be a christian?
Live as christ did...follow his examples..somebody will say its is hard to live like Christ. ... thats why we have the Holy spirit..Jesus said if you believe greater things shall you do...which means you can actually be christ like..

May be you're an Atheist. That's why you're wasting your tym.
Qur'an has since told us that "was akthruhum fasiquun"
meaning MAJORITY of them are fornicators.

That's there is high rate of abortion, HIV among them. And almost all their mothers are disverged .

Proudly a Muslim.
Alhamdulillah.

Op Christ died for sins. So if they don't sin, he would have died for nothing.


The reason for his death is that man will live above sin...not for man to keep living in sin...Though his death provides forgiveness of sins....but it is not God'will that sin will continue to have dominion over any believer
The bible says "should be continue to sin thatvgrace may abide God forbid"
What if the person dies in between the time of sin and repentance?

This is why I keep asking people that if God is to judge us according to his standards for real, will anyone make heaven?

Remember, sexual immorality is not limited to sexual act alone, staring lustfully at someone amounts to sexual immorality.

However, it's time we stopped blaming pastors for not preaching this or that. The Bible is there and it's written in English. We can always refer to the Bible because in the end, it's not between you and your pastor, it's between you and God.

God did not only save us but also made provision for our mistakes. 1 John 1:7-9. This is not however an opportunity to abuse this grace. A believer falls into sin of fornication when you allow your flesh and your mind to control you. It is your responsibility to put your body under control. Any believer who commits fornication habitually may eventually lose his salvation. Fornication is a sin and you should try to avoid it after you have given your life to Christ. But if you fall into it, go to God and ask for mercy and forgiveness and he will forgive you. Even if you repeat same error several times, he will still forgive you. Such repeated errors can however open doors for the devil to afflict you and even kill you. This is the reason so many professing believers die young.

My dear, you are not completely correct. I once attended deeper christian life ministry where the preaching is consistent on promotion of holiness in all its ramifications, yet the painted picture by the op is also possible there. The issue is more complex than you just said it. I think its all about the craftiness or the subtlety of the devil in taking men away from their word of God, from prayer and from meditation. once this happens, anyone can fall to the sin of fornication/adultery because its very very sweet to the flesh of both the clergy and the laity.
