Okay Christians, what is your view on premarital sex?
I know, most are against it, but why? The Bible urges us to flee from fornication, but how do you define fornication? Do you know the root Greek words and have drawn your conclusion from that? Or do you listen to Christian tradition and legalism?
Also, assuming that the Bible does take the "no sex before marriage" claim, then what about the different views of marriage from different cultures? In Bible times a lot of marriages were arranged, the ceremonies were different, etc? Why is it that in our culture today we assume that a slip of paper saying that the government acknowledges our union is seen as a pass to have as much sex as you want? Such is a construction of society, not church?
Christians seem to be defined these days as being vehemently against premarital sex, and I am curious to see why you believe it is so wrong.
