Millions of Christians across America and the world are familiar with the Bible's warning against having sex outside of marriage, and now that conflict has sparked a meltdown on "The Bachelorette" TV show and spilled into real life.

The stance by one Christian suitor, 24-year-old Luke Parker, to wait until marriage to have sex got him tossed out of contention by Hannah Brown, who rolled her eyes numerous times when Parker objected to the "Fantasy Suites" portion of the program.

It's not that Brown wasn't attracted to "LukeP" as he's called on the air.

"The closest thing to love at first sight was probably with you," the Alabama native admitted during Parker's final episode.

But when it came to the possibility of Ms. Brown having sex with numerous partners, that's where Parker drew the line.

"I don't believe that's something you should be doing," he said, "and I just want to make sure you're not going to be, you know, sexually intimate with, you know, the other relationships here."

"Guess what? Sex might be a sin out of marriage, pride is a sin, too, and I feel like this is like a pride thing," Brown responded. "I feel like I've finally gotten clarity on you and I do not want you to be my husband."

After Parker asked if he could have a moment, Brown dropped a bombshell on him, saying she did, in fact, already have sex in a windmill twice with fellow contestant Peter Weber.

"I have had sex and, like, Jesus still loves me," she declared.

The lovers' spat continued off the air, on the internet, with the couple engaging in a fierce war of words over what constitutes sin, and how Christians should respond.

"The difference in how we view sin is seen in the response," Parker indicated. "I'm weeping at mine and you're laughing at yours. All sin stings. My heart hurts for both of us."

Brown responded: "time and time again Jesus loved and ate with ‘sinners' who laughed. And time and time again he rebuked ‘saints' that judged. Where do you fall Luke? #TheBachelorette."

Luke replied: "There is a difference between eating with sinners who laugh and sinners who laugh at their sin. Sin is the very thing that put Jesus on the cross and that's not a laughing matter."

Brown wasn't through, though, as she alluded to a conversation Parker had with another kicked-off contestant, Garrett Powell: "I have never said that I find my sin funny. I'm not going to [be] lectured on appropriate emotional responses by a guy who threw deli meat in a guy's lap."

Parker then addressed the sexual encounter in the windmill.

"Your tweets about the windmill and the wood were enough, it’s not about the action it's about the response. If you want to talk about it, you know how to get ahold of me."

On Instagram, Parker admitted it hurt his heart that Hannah "felt I was shaming her."

In our conversation my heart was never to judge or condemn Hannah. I was simply making a decision for myself on what I expected in our relationship, our conversations and our beliefs led me to believe we were on the same page about sex. For me it was never about getting a rose, it was always about finding a wife who would choose me everyday just as I would choose her everyday.

As for my time on the show I made mistakes and no I’m not perfect (crazy right) I didn’t totally behave as the man I want to be and I did not represent Christ the way I thought I was prepared to and that has broken me.

This journey has taught me so much and for that I am grateful but the greatest gift I have received is a compassion for those who love the world and it’s ways. My desire is to put the Father first above all things and share the truth that he has given to us all. Thank you everyone for the prayers always remember speak truth and rid yourself of all hate, let compassion drive your words. Stay tuned.

Some comments from viewers online include:

"Stick to your guns. [Wait for] sex until you're married. She is crazy anyways."

"Boy still can't fully take responsibility for how crappy he is."

"I just don't think this environment/setting was for you. I mean, how could someone not have controlling behaviors when a girl their dating is dating 30 other guys. I think the the guys who DON'T CARE that Hannah is mindlessly sleeping around/jumping naked is more concerning to me, than a man who finds it concerning and worth talking about? Clearly the TV show made you look like some narcissist. But I don't think you are. I think @alabamahannah is just an airhead who uses grace as an excuse to have 0 control and overreacted. Her Bible quotes were her interpretation of the Bible. Any who. *Not a Luke fan but even more so not a Hannah fan. She slept with a guy she had no feelings for ... (she never told peter she loved him ...) I mean it's worth being a little concerned about if you're wanting to propose to someone within a week."

"Why is everyone confusing the words judgement and discernment. Obviously you have a standard you want to live by and it's not unreasonable to desire a wife with those same standards and desires. Hannah doesn't have a true relationship with Jesus. Because Christ says that 'those who love me obey my commands.' Dude ... choose a woman who loves Christ the way you do. Period."
