I am a new member/contributor to Catapult but have been reading with interest your discussion on this particular issue. I have a couple of articles on my website (http://troy.mountainview-church.com) that you might find to be of interest and help.

One of the articles deals with the issue of sexual boundaries. It deals with all kinds of things like premarital sex, adultery, oral sex, pornography, prostitution and “Open Marriage”. The teaching on these issues is based on Song of Songs in the Bible, but layers in two other important ways of looking at the issue through “Common Sense” and “The Law of Grace.” You can find this article at: http://troy.mountainview-church.com/archives/teachings/sexual_boundaries_a/index.html

The other article featured there is actually a writing that was featured on Catapult some time ago (titled “Living in Sin” under the byline “Name Withheld”). The reason for anonymity was to protect any parties concerned, but now that time has passed that is not an issue. This article deals specifically with premarital sex and has some different points to offer, by way of “common sense”, than the “sexual boundaries” article has to offer. Again, you might find it to be of help in some way. You can find the article on my website at: http://troy.mountainview-church.com/archives/teachings/premarital_sex_an_i/index.html

Should you happen to read either of those articles, I would love to hear back from you as to your thoughts. You could either do that through posting a reply on my website or you could do so through the Catapult forum, of course.

Please forgive me for the “intrusion” in the discussion. I do realize all of you don’t know me from “Adam” and might think it strange that I would post to this, but just thought you might find this to be of help or interest.

Cheers,
Troy
