Because it's something clearly described and outlined in the Bible, why is it so hard to wait?

This is the case because not all Christians are really Christians to their core and others just have a moment of weakness. Many do wait for marriage and find it to be a beautiful thing to share sex only with their spouse. Personally, I waited til marriage (at 31 - a year ago) and don't regret it for a moment.

Why is it that Christians are so worried about other peoples lives. As far as I remember my Christian up bringing, we are not to judge others. We have free choice to do as we please with our lives and our bodies. That is within the confines of the human laws.
Why is it that Christians want to wait for sex after marriage. The Bible is a great guideline to how one should live and treat others. It is good to follow it as closely as possible, but when it come to how one interrupts that guideline then that is where the Christians on a whole tend to be over zealous.
Sex is a physical thing and before there was BIRTH CONTROL, it was a very good idea not to have sex before marriage. The church had good reasons to keep people in line about sex. Maybe still does if your church is against BIRTH CONTROL, in any form.
I believe that the christian religion and most other religions are very scared by modern day cures and sciences. As more things tend to be discovered and made available to the public then the reasons for the organized religion diminishes. Some people are in the understanding that this is the case, but for the most part, it is because soceity has finally turned the corner on what parts of religion is good and what parts are not needed as much anymore.
There are many reasons why Christians don't wait untill marriage to have sex and it all comes down to the individual and how they feel about themselves and how important the Christian faith is to them. Aint it great to be a Christian and at least have freedom of choice? Remember if you are a woman in the Muslim faith, and you were deflowered, by any means, your family would be dishonored and you most likely would be killed or put to death. Some choice they have.

I'm a Christian singer, actress, and author. I'm happily married with a daughter.
When I was younger, I used to tour A LOT. I toured for 13 months once. It was hard, and the road is full of opportunities. There are plenty of lonely nights and guys offering company. Waiting is hard.
Yes, I succumbed. I had a good bit of premarital sex, and I enjoyed it. My husband wasn't a virgin when we met either and we

In large part, because society says it's ok to have premarital sex.Also when you are in love with someone emotionally, you want to express it physically. Maybe God made it difficult to wait so that you can have something to look forward to on your wedding night. Maybe also it's a test to see if you really someone enough to wait for marriage, or if you are just consumed by lust and only want the physical stuff and not the emotional and spiritual commitment of marriage.

It is hard to wait. Why do people fail to? Well, either they didn't really care that they should. Or maybe they thought that if they really felt like it, it must be okay. Or maybe they didn't want to, but thought it would okay to walk all the way down the lane but then couldn't resist the gate... They didn't know not to take the lane.

probly because parts of the bible are optional o them. Theya re first to jam some out-of-context quotes down someones throat, but when it comes to actually following hte word they choose tot ake so literally... they are way last..
Besides.. it's not healthy for the relationship to wait. it is one thing to wait for the right person, and it's another to be promiscuous

It's called being human, and sex is part of life so get used to it. And only idiots believe everything that is written in an ancient book that is quite probably fiction.

It just doesn't seem like a huge sin to me to have sex outside of marriage. The Bible is thousands of years old-a bit outdated. What about all the people who don't get married-they are happy to just be in a committed relationship-they should be able to have sex if they want. I don't think they go to hell for it.

ah, the bible. one sage individual i know mentioned that scripture is susceptible of endless interpretation, and that which is usually decided upon always seems to favor the agenda of the "church hierarchy". how can this be? christianity is only one of many world religions, and, except for islam, the newest on the scene. how any group of people can actually believe that its version of things is the only correct one, boggles the mind. attention: "holier than thou church goers", open your minds, get a clue, and stop being sheep.
