My friend's pastor says that young single men & women should give up s*x on statutory holidays and during lent

Question

I am not sure that I see the connection. Since the Bible doesn't mention this, is it just an exercise to practice self-discipline?

Answer 1

surely he has told you that God teaches, s*x out of marriage is wrong?

Answer 2

Does the preacher also think it's alright for priests to molest little kids and get away with it?

Answer 3

I'm married I gave up s*x when I said I do.

Answer 4

I don't believe the bible only says you should give up s*x during statutory holidays and during lent and as a young man or woman.  I think the bible says you should give up s*x before marriage whether or not it's a holiday/special occasion or whether or not you are young.
