Is it still bad? Even though the two ended up together anyway?

You will most likely have an orgasm. Why would that be bad?

Yes it is still fornication and a sin. You are commiting adultery because you are not yet married.
1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1 Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication
Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
If you do this, and walk in the spirit, you will find the strength and courage to abstain until you are married.

not unless they had a child out of it before they got married. But other than that I don't think so. While it would be frowned upon by society in general, I feel if one was sincere enough forgiveness would be given.
The formal marriage ceremony is only for the government. Once a ring or promise is given you are really married. The institution of formal marriage is really not that old compared to the bonding of two people.

Do the wise thing. Please. If you are not sure, why not just follow what God said in the bible...wait til marriage. If you are not a christian however then it really is your choice. Be wise...treat sex with respect. It is more powerful than the world would like you to believe. And the old cliched analogy about test driving the car--don't listen. You are not buying a car you are giving it away...It is a very precious gift.

in life how can u be sure you will marry in the future? But i think the message is if you do have sex before marriage then DO get married. Ask God to forgive your weakness, but rest asssured that in Gods eyes you are already bound to the other person...be sure to follow through.

I don't think so. As long as the love is there, I think it is an antiquated notion to wait for a ceremony & liscense. I think premarital sex is wrong only when it is taking place outside the confines of a sincere love relationship. If you & your partner already know in your hearts that you have made that committment, then why not enjoy that aspect, even as you make plans to make it legal?

No and yes. Marriage begins not with a ceremony, but with a physical union. That said, it sets a bad precedent that says, "It's okay to have sex outside of the confines of this marriage." Later on down the road, when one or both of you are tempted to have sex outside of your marriage, the other will have just a little less reason to trust that person's self-control.

Sex before marriage is definitely a sin. Sex after marriage is also a sin unless it is for the purposes of procreation - ie. even after marriage having sex just for the joy of it is also a no-no.
That is why the Catholic Church bans birth-control even for married couples.

No it's not bad. Ideally we'd all like to be virgins when we're married but life doesn't always turn out the way we plan. Remember everything happens for a reason. All you can do is be the best person you can be and everything will play out in your life the way it should.

Practicing religion and practicing the will of God has a difference but they are marriage as far as I'm concern..
Paper marriage is for the civil entities that one had to be together for better or worst, legally.
On God's marriage, no one as far as I know did give some importance into it but no sex before marriage.
So, if one had you before marriage, enjoy it! As long as you have been doing it under the Grace of God.
Be with the one you have and fight for it! Don't ask or give some head-aches for your soul mate.

Well, I have known such occurrences. I have also seen that the children find out, and one day they will say "Well if you and dad (or mom) did it, what is so wrong about me (or us) doing it? This I have seen is a killer!!
While there are those who recommend "testing the equipment prior to purchase," may I recommend that all interested parties check the Holy Bible concordance, read the scriptures, and prayerfully ask God what it is He wants and expects of us, and do accordingly.
Take care and God bless
