Who thinks that sex before marriage is a sin? Because most people would say it is...but isn't any sex a sin? Thats why everyone is born into sin and there can never be another sin-less person? Tell me your ideas.

I believe sex before marriage is a sin. It is considered adultery, by God and that would be breaking a Commandment. Sex without the covenant of marriage is a sin. We are born into sin, not because of sex but because of the original sin of Adam and Eve

We are born into sin because we are descendants of Adam and Eve. God's plan for sexuality is for it to be between a married couple. Any kind of sex is okay in the sanctity of marriage. It's a safe ground to go crazy, and it's never a sin in that manner. Makes me feel really good about waiting until then.

Sex in marriage is not a sin... people are born into sin because people are born into the free will Adam and Eve took. Had nothing to do with sex.

sex is not a sin...it's the reason why you are having sex that makes it sinful. Sex is suppose to be for creation purposes only, but since it feels so good we tend to use it for personal pleasure...which I am sure God knew this was the case...therefor he made us so that we can enjoy the feelings we get from having sex with our love one's as much as we want and at the same time there is a chance that we could bare a child too...two joys with one action : ) But if you are having sex just to please yourself then you are being selfish and that type of sex is one example of it being a sin. This is the spiritual answer...if you don't believe in all the God laws stuff then you can say that sex feels good because our brain knows we need sex to keep our species going, therefor it makes us feel good when we do it so we will keep doing it....you know to keep hope alive!

It was a sin at the time when women were being traded for goats and wheat. Men wanted complete control over the woman and they wanted her to be "tight" and untouched by others so it got ordained into law. As you know, the society back then was patriarchical.
Sex is not a sin. Feeling pleasure is not a sin. G-d gave you all of these things! Why call them a sin!?

Anything which is out of harmony with God's will is sin. Sex between married couples of opposite sex is God's will and therefore not a sin. Any other sex is a sin because God has told us it is a sin not only against him but against our own bodies. We inherited sin from Adam but that is different than saying that because we sin unknowingly we should just sin willfully. God knows your heart and you must be willing to try to please him and live according to his will, knowing that he created us and knows what is best for us in all things. Plus he is love, so he would NEVER do anything that did not reflect that love he has for us and our future.

Duh! Of course there can never be a sinful person. But you're wrong, people are not born in this world sinners. Babies are the most innocent creatures of God. It is a sin to have sex before you get married, to marry just for sex...ect, I believe that God has someone specially made out there for everyone. Someone who fits the other just right. That's love.

"Original Sin" has nothing to do with having sex. God created people to procreate. We're supposed to have sex. But God also created men and women to be paired. Sex is a bond to be shared between married couples only according the Bible. By today's standards sex outside of marriage is no big deal. But according to the Bible sex outside of marriage (including after a divorce, or with a long-term partner) is immoral.

I believe sex before marrage is wrong. And sex just to have sex is wrong, there needs to be true love. I also believe up till the age of 8 you are learning what is a sin and what is not. After the age of 8 you can be responsilbe for the wrong choices you make. Does that help?

Not sure if you want an answer from a Hindu, but here goes.
Sex is not a sin. Kama (pleasure) is not a sin. In Hinduism it is expected that a person will live Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. Dharma refering to doing one's duty. Artha meaning that you will prosper. Kama meaning that you will have enjoyment and pleasure. Moksha meaning that you will seek union with God. It is because of Moksha that you do your Dharma. It is because of Moksha that as you receive Artha, as you prosper, you do so honestly and ethically and never with selfish or greedy intentions. With Kama you practice moderation so that your focus on God is never removed.
Hinduism primarily stresses sex after marriage, but it doesn't forbid it outright. Hinduism is rather lenient on matters of sex. In fact, Hinduism doesn't condemn things outright, it makes suggestions as to what would be the best course of actions, thoughts, etc to better one's spiritual practice and to apply spirituality throughout one's life (to spiritualize your life) and keep your focus ever clear on God (thus trying to minimize the amount of distractions that keep you from God that could cause you to become attached to the distraction and not to God).
