Of course, you can post your question one of our social media sites, and you can always

listeners named John. My question, what about Christian male and female living together,

cohabitation and sharing the

bedrooms?

I'd love to hear what you say, that's that's an issue with a lot of Christians.

Thank you.

It's a great channel.

God bless you all.

Yeah, thanks for the encouragement.

What do I say about Christians cohabitating male and female, not married?

I think that that's an issue. I mean, I would have concerns there specifically, right? Just

wanting to guard against sexual temptation. I'm assuming you're talking about, you know,

a boyfriend and a girlfriend or something like that or even an engaged couple, which we're seeing, you know, oftentimes a couple get engaged and they'll say, oh, you know, we're just a few days or a few weeks or months away from the wedding. We're just going to start living together. And I just, I think, I think we need to be wise here, right? Like, like, obviously, what's forbidden in scripture is fornication and so that is a sin

but you're you're putting yourself in a position where you're leaving i think the door

wide open for that and you have exhortations like the one given to us in romans chapter 13
