Okay! The big question: In the Bibical sense, sex was created by God - to reproduce, and it also has a benifit of being pleasurable. Now, I have read the Bible quite a bit, yet I have never stummbled across the scripture forbidding sex outside of marriage, infact David (the one who is a man after God's own heart) had many wives, and it was only a sin until he had sex with someone else's wife, and Jesus does point that this is audltry and immoral - the 10 Commandments only say to not have adultry, and throughout the Bible it says to not commit sexually immoral things - the list of which is: Homosexuality, audltry, animals, angels, and such. But never does it say outside of marriage from two who love each other, and wish to show their love (and it is not out of pure lust), so my question is, is this just the Church's way of pushing absence and births outside of marriage? Or is there really a verse, because I fail to find it, or the logic behind it, if it is in the right context.
