Premarital sex and the church

I’m listening to Pastor Carla Dunbar from some Church of God of Prophesy, in Buff Bay. The programme is Religious Hard Talk. Some very controversial and interesting topics boy. They’re discussing premarital sex in the church and should a Pastor baptise someone who is in a common-law situation. She is saying that she would because salvation is instantaneous and individual so why wait until the situation is better to save the person’s soul. Ian Boyne (playing devil’s advocate, no doubt) is asking if that’s not a situation of waving the carrot in front of the rabbit, since face it, if the man is not a christian, he can’t be expected to forget his urges because the woman is now a christian. Very controversial topic. And she’s good man, making some good points.

My own thing is this. And I’ve said it time and time again. I have to see the goods before I buy it. I’m sorry, I’m not marrying the man until I test him out. As us Jamaicans love to say, “ah not buying no puss in the bag.” I cannot promise anyone that I can make that type of commitment, you know being a christian without being married. Nuh-uh. I find that if I am not seeing anyone, I can not have sex for an unbelievably long time, but if I’m seeing someone, it’s not going to happen. This rabbit is not having any carrots dangling in front of her without taking a damn healthy bite. Trust me.
