yes, i am a christian, a methodist, to be specific, and i believe that marriage is the ultimate expression of love and devotion between two consenting adults. therefore, under that definition, i do not believe premarital sex to be evil, so long as the acting parties have the intention of one day marrying and are committed and devoted to one another. old school belief adapted to modern times, i guess you could say.

I am not a Christian.
'Evil' is a construct of society. It was not considered 'Evil' by most Christians to own slaves 200 years ago.
Even in that regard, while most Christians would likely consider infidelity to be a sin, I think calling it 'Evil' is a bit much. You might say that Lust is an emotion created by the Evil of Satan or some such thing.
Personally I think it is natural. It's an evolutionary instinct. I WISH that we could meet someone and fall in love and just stop being attracted to other people, EVER, but it does not work that way.

I personally dont think it's evil - its your choice whether you want to make that decision with the one you love. I'm not christian, (i do celebrate christmas and easter) but I dont follow things from church or the Bible during those holidays.
If you feel the time is right, then it's fine.

If you are married to one person, but have sex with another, no, I wouldn't say it's evil. But wrong and hurtful to your spouse. Unless you are split with your spouse when you had sex with the other person.
If you meant that neither of you are married and had sex, then big deal, as long as you both are of consenting age.
No, I am not Christian or any other religion.

Yes. It is a sin, and sinning is evil. But you can be forgiven if you sincerely ask for forgiveness and repent (turn from and do not repeat) for it. Jesus was the only one to never sin. That is why we need him to cleans our sins. He is the only way to God the father. And the only way to true eternal pleasure in Heaven, not the cheap fleshy watered down version we think is so great down here on Earth, but a life that is so great and wonderful we can't even imagine it. God promises so, and I believe him (even though I have sinned). I am going up to a high and much better place someday, and you can too. Just repent from your sins and ask Jesus to be the Lord of your life. Accept him, like he accepts you, and things will be better than ever!

i don't think sex is evil. ever. sex is about passion, romance, love, affection, pleasure... none of those things can ever be called evil.
oh, and btw, i'm an atheist.
hi. nice to meet you. hope you're enjoying yahoo! answers. expect some very crazy answers to this question- people on here can get kinda nutty about anything that involves religion or politics. don't ask me why people are so silly.

Sex is never evil in any religion, just supposed to use moderation. In Judiasm, it's considered a mitzvah (doing something that pleases God), of course you're supposed to be doing it with your spouse.....but evil....nah
