Is having sex/making love a sin if you do it...?

Question

before marriage?......i'm just wondering what people think.

Answer 1

Although it is not what I practiced....what I was given to be truth was that you were to wait. To expound on that, I would have to say that there are a lot of people who will say, "Try before you buy." And if one is discussing something that you are going to have for several years yet in the back of your mind you know will be able to exchange for a , "newer" model down the road then I guess that applies. Whowever, I must also say that if you take the time to make sure that the person you marry is the right person for you then I imagine it would be better to have waited and give your life partner the gift of your purity and cleanliness. If you are truly with the right person I don't think you would ever have to worry about being sexually incompatible. That is just somebody else's way of saying, " I did not really love that person enough to find out what they really wanted and needed sexually and I did not feel comfotable telling that person what I needed and wanted sexually." In which case, you should never have married that person in the first place. If you cannot be 100% honest about something as special as the physical union you will have together then obviously they were not your true life partner to begin with. I wish I had waited....I think I would have been better off in many ways. Not just from a Biblical perspective but a personal one. Too many people today try it out way to early...how can you make something special when you are too young and immature to understand what you're actually doing. It should never be just sex. If it is then you are missing the whole point and are no better off than the dogs and cats who have sex simply for physical release with no ability to understand the emotional ramifications of the act.

Is Having Sex A Sin

Answer 3

I would say it would depend on whether you are religious or not. Religion helps to shape our morals and forms the basis of many societies and cultures. If you are christian, then having sex before marriage is considered a sin. I am not sure how other religions view premarital sex, except that in some they have the female genitalia mutilation to prevent the female from having any pleasure or sex before marriage. So I would have to say that they don't approve of it. I think this is a decision each person has to decide for themself and it needs to be between them and their God.

Answer 4

I think the more important question is would it be a sin to live out your life chained to someone you are not happy with. And to have a successful relationship, you have to be able to accept eachother on every level. Would you buy a car without test driving it? By all means, take the time and learn eachother on other levels first. But I still wouldn't recommend making that kind of commitment to each other until you know for sure. You don't want to get married, find out you're completely sexually incompatible, and spend the rest of your marriage being mentally unfaithful to your spouse by lusting after every other man/woman you see just out of sheer frustration. Don't program problems into your relationship if you don't have to. Have a little more respect for yourself and your partner.

Answer 5

Answer 8

God nor Jesus ever said pre-marital sex is a sin anywhere in the Bible. Why is probably understandable, seeing Jesus (officially) NEVER had female companionship or married (now challenged by The DaVinci Code); otherwise, why preach what you can't yourself pratice??? Makes sense to me.

Please note the passage in the Bible was written by the book's author himself, and is debated heavily it's his OWN opinion (and the Bible is rife with opinions other than God's and/or Jesus').

I'm of the belief that pure love, be the couple married OR not, is just reason for the two to have sex. Sex done in pure love is NOT a sin.

Answer 9

Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years:
1. Single people should be celibate.
2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).

The Catholic Church recognizes the power of sex when it teaches, "Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul."

Fornication, sex between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, is contrary to their human dignity and the dignity of human sexuality.

Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person. A chaste person's body and spirit lives in unity and opposes any behavior that would impair that unity.

The purpose of sex is to bring a husband and wife closer and to create human life.

With love in Christ.

Answer 10

Yes it is a sin. People who have sex without being married is called fornication. Married people that have sex outside their marriage is called adultry.
