Is it a sin to fantasize about someone?

Wow 20 answers.. I’m overwhelmed. But thanks to all of you. I understand you all have your opinions. And just to clear it up, yes I am 14 years old. I’m not the prettiest girl and I’ve never been in a proper relationship. So sometimes I daydream about what it would be like to go out with my crush. That’s all. But recently I’ve been doing that a lot to a point that it’s almost obsessive, so I think I’ll try to stop myself a bit. Once again, thanks.

In Gods eyes what comes out of your mouth comes from the heart. God does know your thoughts, and it’s a serious thing. If you are lusting about this person that alone is a sin(1 Thessalonians 4:3-8). God gave us free will, therefore we are responsible of keeping control of our bodies and minds. If the girl and your crush are together than maybe just leave it alone for now. If you are still in High School, beleive me another guy will come around(: But just try to deal with it and be friends with him, and see what happens!

Crazy gal, I am very glad that you are a believer, and please don’t let these unbelievers upset you or cause you to loose faith, or any other believer on here for that matter. Bringing your mind under the control of the Holy Spirit is a wonderful thing to do, I admire your honesty, and willingness, and I know that God appreciates it too. It is a disicipline that many do not pay any attention to, and that is why many are falling away, into unbelief, or into temptation. It can be done, and it is part of sanctification, you are getting an early start on it, and if you continue it will pay rich rewards. I don’t see anything wrong with thinking about going out with your crush… that is just fun stuff for a teen to do, no harm in it, as far as I am concerned. If your thoughts pertained to sexual activity then, yes, it would be harmful, but, I seriously do not think that is what you are talking about. As far as wishing bad for someone that treats you badly, I think you might want to rethink that one. I know it is fun to think about it, but, that is of the flesh and unproductive, the bible teachs us to pray for those that abuse us, or mistreat us, so, how about turning that energy into a prayer for her, instead, and you won’t have to worry or be concerned that you did anything wrong. You have a good heart, or you would’nt even care what was wrong… hold onto your faith… with everything that is within you.. We are in a generation where faith is under attack, like never before. It is pure and precious, protect it…

absolutely not and anyone that tels you otherwise is not only crazy but mentally abusive. Don’t go crazy but don’t feel guilty about natural emotions. as long s you are able to draw the line ur fine!

If you you look at someone who’s good looking and it goes no further than just a look then I’d say no it’s not a sin. The sin comes when you begin to picture yourself with that person or thing over and over and over again. Playing on the thought throughout the day. Obsessing over it for example. Only you really know your heart and when you’ve crossed the line or not. Some people can’t tell the difference unfortunately.

Remember that in Sermon on the Mount Jesus said that if you lust after a woman you have already committed adultry in your heart.

Of course Jesus also says marrying a divorced woman is adultry, that you shouldn’t swear oaths, that you should cut off body parts that cause you to sin, when struck you should turn the other cheek, love your enemies, and you should give away anything asked of you. All things that modern Christians no longer seem to believe.

Your smart go figure it out. . . . I got confidence in ya. . .

only the adults that need to grow up. . . .

Crazy gal, I am very glad that you are a believer, and please don’t let these unbelievers upset you or cause you to loose faith,

The thing is people who ask, “Is it a sin to —?” usually are the ones who like to compromise and do as little as possible to pass as a good Christian. Not saying crazygal likes to pick and choose, but usually that’s the deal.

“Butbutbut the Bible doesn’t say —!!”

Yeah, well. The Bible doesn’t say a lot of things. The Bible doesn’t even say premarital sex is wrong, but I hope to God any self-respecting Christian wouldn’t try to justify having sex before marriage. Of course, that’s probably too much to ask these days.

Depends on what you mean by “fantasizing.” If you have to wonder, it’s usually as bad as a small part of you has suspected. We usually call that small part “conscience.”

Is it wrong to fantasize the class b*@#$ being dumped?

Since we’re so concerned about sinning, the answer is yes. It’s not nice to think about something in that way. If God forgave you for your sin, you shouldn’t be calling someone a bi*ch over what is possibly a trivial thing.

Captain… I really think that you should stop trying to kill the faith that believers have that come on here,it is rude and uncalled for. You have the privilidge of making your own unbelieving post… and clearly state that it is, so everyone knows for sure what is going on.. what you are doing is deceptive, you hang in the religion category, yet you are not a believer, and the only reason that you are here, is because you get off on bashing what others believe… PLease make you own post… Captian of the unbelievers… and quit harrassing believers…

…either he said that, OR whoever wrote that particular section of the Bible did, and just decided to throw it in as a bonus.

Nope, can’t see the point…

Letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back in.

That all sounds normal for a 14 yr old. . . .

…WHY put a cat in a bag?

Most adults need to ‘grow up’

…some adults too.

I can give my opinion in ANY thread I want. I’m allowed… its a rule. Just like you’re allowed to promote segragation (masser), and say ‘thump thump thumpy thump’

If you think I’m killing faith (idiot), then perhaps you believe Jesus DID say all those things, and you believe his words.

If so, I guess you’ve got alot of body parts to hack off… that’ll keep you busy…
