DJ's in Church. Is God testing you?

[Bumsniff]

How do those of you who go to church or have gone to church control your sexual feelings when there are so many temptations around you while during mass? Especially if you only see certain women during that time?

If I feel that way then I would throw 1 Cor 7:2,9 back at condemning thoughts because it's written in the Bible to avoid sexual temptation one is supposed to be married. It says to avoid fornication, people should be married and have a spouse.

1 Cor 7:9 acknowledges that people have sexual temptations if they don't have a spouse to release that sexual energy on. God created sex between married people so there is nothing wrong with sex itself in marriage. How do you think you were born in the first place? Where would you get the idea that it is wrong?

If you are not attracted to women, then how do you expect to want to be married in the first place? I'd say go and find someone and get married, and if you get rejected then at least you tried to deal with your sexual temptation.

There are no attractive women at my church, and that is probably for the best.

I jack off into the cup of blood or whatever they serve.

Quite possibly.

It's a good opportunity to practice self-control/discipline. Ironically, ignoring women makes them more attracted, so there you go.

God is always testing you, not just at church.

True, that.

anyone else feel the bible contradicts itself a lot ....?

I noticed that a lot, at about age 11, and totally blew it off, (and all religion) by age 13. It's all just so obviously a crutch for the inept, intended from the start to set up the 'witch doctors" with an easy life.

Once you realize that life doesn't mean anything and you might as well kill yourself, then you may just change that tune.

I really don't understand the thinking of people like you. You're like a progress bar that stays stagnant at 50%. You're basing your beliefs on the inadequacies of humans, which is the whole point of religion. You're basically saying "since dumb people use religion to get by, religion is stupid." That's like saying diapers are bad because babies crap their pants.

I knew it wouldn't take long for this to degenerate into a pointless theological debate smh.
