Actually if you think about it, applies to both gender. Law No.7 states you shall not commit adultery.

If you notice, the law seems to put heaver responsibility on the Man, in the sense he has many decisions to consider.
He can't really have any sexual relation as He pleases without being responsible to that one he has sexual relationship with.

The woman on the other hand just need to scream "rapist" to be free from this guilt. 

lol, No., of course not.

but You can always quote Jesus wisdom, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone"

in your defence, in case someone ask. 

Or just quote that touching story, linked by De_luffy.

Guys, you know there are people who look genderswapped and pose as models for kicks, right?

My bro said it's clearly stated in the bible that guys can't dress as girls, girls can't dress as boys. But, isn't that a statement of 'don't become a transgender'?

If dressing and posing for pictures also tak boleh? If dressing itself is a problem that means girls cannot wear jeans or pants anymore.

That's why I strongly encourage for you come clear with your partner before marriage.
Let him know everything that bothers you. Don't drop the news after marriage. 

If he accepts you, all the more reason for you to know he might be the right one from God.
If he rejects you, then it saves you greater future headache and pain.

Relationship is about trusting each other.

Pre planned doesn't mean God is going to drop him from the sky to your lap. 

You still need to do your part in scoping out the right dude, if that's the word for it.

I mean make sure, first of all, you did pray asking this request. Nothing wrong imo to ask God for this.

Then live your life as usual, go out with friends, make new friends, go to birthday parties, things like that.

My point is, don't worry about it. One day you'll meet him. God will move both of you to meet up.

Actually, I came across a really good article on the matter of Christians who have lost their virginities as women before marriage and found it extremely helpful- even as a guy.

http://www.challies.com/articles/we-are-all-virgins-now

It was helpful in correcting alot of cultural presuppositions we have (e.g. women who are not virgins are more impure than those who are, therefore we should always try to marry a virgin) that we incorporated into our Christianity, when in fact the gospel paints a very different picture.

If it's Tl;DR, you can watch this short sermon that very aptly describes why it's disgusting for Christians to think that a Christian is a wounded Christian if she (notice how our culture pays more attention to the women in this respect, quite double standard) loses her virginity before marriage.

The key word: managing your expectation ... prepare yourself if their response is counter productive... (aka make you pissed )

Don't be surprised if somebody, pastor, CG leader, CG elder, even CG member look down on you.

some people are just simply narrow minded... can't help ...

to be honest, regardless charismatics or not, many christian are... narrow minded hahhaa... so just prepared lah

are you expecting christian like UW in general ? he is a rare jewel lah to be honest...

something to share here quite meaningful

Bro,

Perhaps you may have misunderstood what was taught on the Gospel of grace.

I am for righteousness and against sin as how the word of God have outlined.
Being under grace does not mean it's permissible for me to sin as I like.

Neither does the grace of God makes me want to sin either.
In fact it makes me grateful towards God, that I want to live for God.

How does this principal works?

The person need to agree and acknowledge with God that sin is wrong.
From that point onwards, that person desire to live right but also knows that he lacks the strength to do it.

For example, somebody may have drive dangerously and cut into that believer's car, almost knocking into him.
The believer rages and got angry and forgotten He's a Christian. So he showed his fist at the guy, things like that.
That is not intentional. In times of such weaknesses, God's grace is there for him. He is still righteous. 

Or another example, pornography. Many Christian are weak to restrain from watching it.
They try so hard to avoid it but little glimpse of here and there caused him to succumb.
Not that He wants to, He knows it's wrong but still end up helpless. Again God's grace is there for him, He is still righteous.

That is what it means in Romans 5:20 (NIV) - The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

That is the principal.

It is not as how Romans 6:1 (NIV) says it.
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?

Bribing to get favours is sin bro. It does not mean that just because I can do it, I should go ahead and do it.

Beside, my Bible reasoning is this. Why do I need to use money to gain favour with people when I have God to help me move the person for my favour?

Understand what I mean? Because if I use money, that is my effort nothing of God. But If I go through God, it's nothing of me. That's where God gets the glory.

The righteous shall live by Faith. What does that means? I shall resigned whatever that is of my strength and put my full dependency on God.

Whatever that is not of Faith is sin. (Romans 14:23 (NIV) - But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.

Not every job will be suitable for a Christian, this is a fallen world after all and like it or not we don't belong to it anymore.

The way of life of this corrupted world, where people think they are free to live as they see fit, to lie, to have sex outside of marriage, to lust, drunkenness, rage, orgies, things like that, God will destroy and remove such order of life. If God is going to destroy those values, I don't think we as sons and daughters of God should neither keep such values or cherish them.

As to answer your question. As far as I understand, they use tactical means to get truth out of the captured accused, is it not?
I mean if it's a job requirement, to use tactics like deceptive  questioning methods to get the accused to confess something then it's job requirement.

But If it's going to involve things like physical violence then that believer will really need to reconsider if the Job is right for him.
There is a clear line of what is right and obviously wrong.

buying coffee / money still simple lah broo

in malaysia some "group" of people just like talking about girl, talking about  miss A, miss B... girl..girl..girl... aiyoo... and worse, these people does not want money / coffee... they want ... guess lah: Girl 

Yes you're right.

The righteous shall live by Faith. There is no other way. No compromise. The Book of Hebrews takes it 1 step higher to show how serious it is with God. (in bold)

Hebrews 10:38 (NIV) -  And, "But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back."

Those who don't live by Faith, will have it the hard way. It's not that God wants to make it hard for the person, but that believer, himself gives room to spiritual enemies to work by the virtue of disbelieve. Mind you, this is not exclusive to the matter of Salvation. The Bible never says that. It's in the context of everything in life itself.

You can see there will be a difference between the people of God and unbelievers.
How some believer are so blessed in life, left and right, moving up in life without much struggle.

While others need to struggle to the point of unhealthy stress just to achieve uncertain success.
Even some Christian can fall into this same trap by the reason of unbelief. And they will end up struggling on their own.

You can see the signs, when they're Christians but get easily angry, annoyed or irritated very consistently.
Shows that their dependency in life is on self rather than on God.

God is gentleman, he will not force anyone to believe in Him to prosper or to provide.
But those who do, will find it's really a divine blessing.
hmm not true, many Jobs are okay. Just those that may affect in a degrading way, may need to reconsider.

China? I may not be the right person. But I always hear from one of my pastor commenting how the Christian community in China is thriving.
bur honestly I really don't know, tina. You got to check with someone who's connected over there regularly.

-- if i can bribe, it does not mean everybody can bribe --
ask HS first lah... HE is the law

You need to gang up / have a community with people as open minded as you. It's not easy. Like looking for needle in the haystack.

eh i forgot. Why don't ask HS to lead you ? this should be simple right ? compared to bribery / james bond license to kill issues

What church ? don't bother lahh... with your "level" now, baptist, protestant, charismatics, presbyterian, does not matter... i think u can survive just only with 1 name... JESUS

May I know where do you get this sentence from "But, what does God think about it? If its for a greater good, then its between that person and God."?

From my experience and what I perceived from the Bible, God only sees it as black or white. No gray areas. But He looks at the situation understanding your key motivation of why you did what you did.

From my point of view, that is wrong. BUT From another person's point of view, it could be right.

The thing about this is, the world is extremely complex and it's really hard to find the line that separates what is ethically right and ethically wrong especially in politics. At the end, it depends on the person's conviction of what it's right or wrong, and whatever you do, you own up to your decisions (whether you bribe or no bribe). At the end we answer to God, not people.

A pastor/leader can't give you all the answers and the best possible answer they can give is pray for HS because they are simply as ordinary and flawed as all of us are. But i think it's best if the leader/pastor follow up with you to help you just in case if anything goes wrong (assuming the bribery situation is something real and not an imagination), not to say "I was right!" if any problem arises though.

All the best man! Keep on asking, that's how we grow =D... If you feel there's any condemnation in my message, I do apologize beforehand.

The reason why I asked it's because from what I recall, God did not mention anything about us doing something for the greater good. Correct me if I am wrong.

I am still young though, 21 as of now. So I have yet to be exposed to the working environment (I am quite pampered since I don't have to work at such an age =X), but people usually change when they start working, office environment is stressful and require you to make those simple unethical decisions (I can't imagine a workplace you don't have to lie a little) if you want to keep your job or for a promotion.

Truth is, you're going to suffer for making black or white choices. Are you willing to suffer for it? I am not judging those who are making gray areas decisions, I make them from time to time too.

My question to you is as simple as this, are you willing to live with whatever happens next?

Do not bribe, people die= feel guilty
Do bribe, people survive= feel guilty

I think the best looking forward question to ask is what are you going to do to "fix" your mistakes (whichever it is). If you do bribe, ask for forgiveness from God because it's clearly stated in Bible as sin. If you do not bribe, help the victim's family? They may hate you for it but you can always try to lighten their sorrow.

Next question to ask is what should I learn from this experience/incident? (What is God telling me? What does He want me to learn? What is He preparing me for?)

This is just my point of view. At the end, there should be no condemnation(feel guilty like you want to kill yourself), just conviction(to make things/situation better or to improve).

Word of advice, you shouldn't feel normal to being condemned. It's unhealthy, when people condemn you, speak up (as nice as you can though xD). The end result should be a peaceful one.

My stand is no bribery. God said no bribery means no bribery. His commandments are absolute. But I accept that fact and possibility that actual circumstances could change my decision and sin. So that's where the area of forgiveness and grace comes into place (although there's another issue of whether are we taking advantage of it).

Hope this helps, read the link I posted too. Others, please feel free to chip in on this dilemma and shed more light into dilemmas and gray issues.

That's just an excuse to avoid answering you. But you can be graceful, not everyone have the answers to every question no matter how old they are.
That's why for leaders it's quite imperative to be prepared in season and out of season.
Come to Calvary Dec 25 9am, we have Christmas musical.
Life and death is in the hands of Almighty God.

I believe, God has made it quite clear, children and believers, they belong to God and thus they also inherit God's Kingdom.
If it's time to go, it's time to go. Though painful, but Heaven is still much better place than this fallen world.

And even God has exhorted to us many times, we don't belong this world any longer, we are to be foreigners if not alien to it's corrupted way of life/culture.
Many times, even as Christian, we easily forget this truth.

Being Human, we all have the tendency to panic. But as child of God, we all have access to the power and grace of God for the impossible.

What is my point? We don't have to worry about this world, the future or situations. We have God. When the time of our need comes, whatever happens, God is not far away.
When we have God, all things are possible. Broken bones, bodily injury can heal, so will broken heart. Death is just a doorstep away to heaven. Every close doors, God will open if it's the right one.  That is the meaning that God is in control.

Think about this verse in James 1:13-14 (NIV)

13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.

wazzup tina, what kind of temptation you have know    ... you wanna punch somebody cuz he's starring at you   

usually a girl didn't say "hot neighbour"... are you sure you are not using your dupe account hahaha 

Just to be clear, you are a girl, right?

What sort of temptation are you facing? I have hot neighbours but I don't have a problem of temptation. 

i would rather bribe than cheating my wife 

Wow, that's a bias generalization. If our faith is strong, we can resist temptations. It's not easy but manageable.
