Why not prove your love by sticking your nead in the oven and turning on the gas or by playing leapfrog in the traffic? It's about as safe. Clear the cobwebs out of your head! Any fellow who asks you to prove your love is trying to take you for the biggest, most gullible fool who ever walked. That proving it bit is one of the... rottenest lines ever invented... Someone who loves you wants whatever is best for you. But now figure it out. He wants you to commit an immoral act, surrender your virtue, throw away your self-respect, risk the loss of your precious reputation, and risk getting pregnant, getting diseased, or] into trouble. [Wise up!] He wants... what is best for him; he wants a thrill he can brag about at your expense. Love? Who's kidding whom? A guy who loves a girl would sooner cut off his right arm than hurt her. [In truth], this self serving lindividual has proved that he doesn't love you lat all]. The predictable aftermath...always finds Don Juan tiring of his sport. Thats when he drops you, picks up his line, and goes casting elsewhere for...equally silly fish. If he loves you, let him prove his love...(at) the altar." If you want some sound scriptural advice about sex, here it is: "Your body is...sacred... The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body' (vv. 19-20 MSG)
