I mean in the current day and age where relationships form at younger ages, primary school children are learning about the male and female reproductive system earlier, break up rates are on the rise... finding someone who is still innocent and blameless is like finding Atlanta, the lost city.
Well the other night I was chatting to my friend, who I have known for 3 years now. All along i thought they are in high school, doing well at school and has a vision of what to do in the future. There is no way they could not be innocent. But last night i found out that they had actually already been in a couple of relationships before...
I guess i didnt know what to say... I think the only thing i could think of is that we are have our faults... we have our own secrets.... And to say that we are innocent is a lie.
The truth is we are all to blame. We are sinners from the beginning ... We are only saved through Jesus dying on the cross for us, taking the punishment for all our sins. May we never forget that... Amen

Atlanta? Do you mean Atlantis? Atlanta is pretty easy to find on google maps...plus they held the Olympics there a few years back...
yes atlanta is quite easy to find.
atlantis a bit tougher
atlantis was found by that blonde guy in that movie. wat was it called? oh yeah "atlantis - the lost city"
they say ppl there walk on their hands and babies are sacrificed to Tiamut - the fat beast in the sky. i dont think babies would taste that nice though.
ps. were we ever born innocent? and are all ppl who hav been in previous relationships counted as not innocent? coz that means i must be.....pretty damn rotten!
2 things:
1. we are born with a sinful nature
2. being in relationships = loss of innocence? huh?? relationships = sin? but God created us for relationship.
ahh, i guess the last thing i would add is: we have ALL fallen short of God's glory and NONE of us are innocent, even from birth. it's got nothing to do with whether or not someone's been in a relationship before. so are you saying that if someone has been in a relationship, then breaks up, they are no longer innocent? but someone who has never been in a relationship, but God-knows what other things they've done, is innocent? where did you get that idea?? =S
i agree with the last bit though. and we are made pure and blameless only in and through Christ. so finding someone innocent and blameless is impossible unless you're standing face to face with Jesus.
Steve and DoJ: You guys are correct i meant to say Atlantis not Atlanta... thanks for picking that up
DoJ and Naomi: I think "innocent" may not have been the best word to use in this sense. What i was trying to communicate when i used the word "innocent" was this.
When you think you know a person really well they surprise you when you find out their true identity. So its more of a surprise rather than a loss of innocence. Hope that makes more sense
