Part of the reason I stopped going to church is because of Christians who had an attitude they were better than those who are not "saved" picking & choosing what commandments or "directives" from God they want to adhere to.

I had premarital sex before. I am ashamed of this. This does not make me a hypocrite, It is no different than lying, stealing, judging, etc... I think that you are missing the whole point in a way. God knew that man kind, would be evil, and sin. He gave up his only son do die on the cross for our sins, so that we would have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
The truth here is that no-one is perfect, Jesus knew that, and I thank God for that. If there is anyone who claims they are perfect, I would be careful Everyone Sins. I have repented and I still feel so awful for what I did. Jesus forgives, and will always love you, you have to ask for forgiveness, and it will be done.

The word hypocrite is from the root word which means "actor". Those who outwardly act as though they are something when inwardly they are not.
There can be two people both claiming to be Christian. One has had premarital sex and one has not. But the true test is that of the heart of the person, not their outward appearance.
The moral of the story: a repentant sinner is better off than the person who is proud of their own right behavior.

OH geez.... With all that is going on in the world, all the killing and suffering and just horrible things going on, do Christians really have to wprry about two people expressing love, even if there is no document at the courthouse stating they are married?
I am not saying being a sIut or man-whore is ok, but seriously...there are WAY to many other issues which Christians, who want to improve the world and the condition of their fellow man, should be worrying about.

well the answer is quite simple....a christian is someone who believes in Jesus Christ. If he has a premarital sex...then it is a sin. But this doesn't make him a non-christian, it make him a Sinner....and what matters is what u've learned from that sin. If u really feel from ur heart that u've done a sin and want forgiveness so that u don't sin again and ur willng to do good for urself and others...then god will forgive u. But if ur heart is not pure and u ask for forgiveness for the sake of forgiveness...then u will not recieve forgiveness. Being Christian...is just being part of that religion...it doesn't make someone a perfect Christian or a perfect human being for that matter.. NO...its ur deeds that counts, not the fact that u belong to one particular group.

I've always been Christian.
However, in my life I already knew that I was a sinner - and good at it. In that time of my life I knew that I'd break at least 8 of the 10 commandments in some form or interpretation.
Sex was one of them.....
But, I've NEVER renounced God. After all these years, that is what kept me from crossing the very big bad line. Now things are better and I have an understanding which those who don't sin won't know.

Our perfection will not be attained until we are with Christ! Which does not mean that we should not strive for perfection, but rather we should understand that we will never reach it here. Being a Christian that has fallen short of the mark consists of every Christian. "For ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. " No, it is not our imperfections that make us hypocrites. It is our denial of them and our insistence that others uphold these high standards that we ourselves fail to do. That is hypocrisy!
Yes, of course I have had premarital sex. Lots. I have been faithfully and happily married for many years and looking back I can see that even my errors God has used for my good and His glory....All things...all things!

Once again I have found a questioner who has not understand the Christian bible.
1 Cor 10:23-24. Does your bible not have these verses?
There is no discussion in the bible regarding premarital sex. None. Search your bible and mail me your verses if you can find them.
Frankly, this is a stupid question by somehow who believes that everything is black and white; the truth is you can have them both.
One last point: God is spirit, and we worship God in spirit and in truth. Until you can explain that to me, you are the hypocrite.

I had premarital sex, and and I was a Christian, I twas a bad thing, even a sin and it made our first few months of marriage less special, I really wish I hadn't but really this was the ultimate result of a series of sexual sins, including a pornography addiction and continually escalating sexual acts ( not actual intercourse) with previous girl Friends.
It's all very slippery slop.
However I do believe God have forgiven me and because I've been able break free of my pornography addiction I believe the consequences for those sins are behind me.

Not gonna like this...but, you cannot be a christian, or call yourself a christian and be having pre-marital sex.
Christian: Definition: To be Christ-like. Obedient to the teachings of the Christ.
Ever hear of fornication???? Sexual relations was and always will be (as far as the bible goes anyway)...for married individuals only. AND...I might add. Male and female only. Romans 1: 26-27
Sorry guys...it's right there in the ol' good book. But you can call yourself whatever you like. Christian, Faithful, ...etc. Still doesn't make you one if you do not adhere to bible principals.

I have. You wouldn't marry a girl without meeting her first, right? You wouldn't buy a car without test driving it first, right? One must make sure that one is sexually compatible with one's partner, otherwise the marriage will be unpleasant, unsatisfactory, and end in divorce and/or adultery. Plus you need to get practice. Contrary to what many people think, losing your virginity is often an awkward experience, far from the "magical" thing many Christian puritans have deluded themselves into thinking. You wouldn't want your wedding night ruined by a horribly inept sexual experience, would you?
