If premarital sex is explicitly forbidden in Christianity by the old and new testaments, and you are not simply sinning by accident but ENJOY premarital sex and seek it out, how do you resolve the contradiction?
Although sins are forgiven, my understanding is that this is not the case if you just sin on purpose assuming that you can just repent later...
Please see my previous question and the responses to it for Biblical references...

All the rules and regulations humans can come up with will never be able to conquer our inherited instincts passed on to us through the evolutionary processes. Sex is not just a fun and exciting activity, it is a need and desire programmed into our very genes for survival and expansion of our species.
Christians (and all religions) tend to pick and choose various attributes that they want to follow and ignore the ones they don't. The sex bit is one that is very easy at which to fail.
Heck, I could use a bit of sex right now.

The problem is that most ppl have never truly been born again and have been slipped a mickey...and never have checked to see what the Bible says...the bible says that if any mane wants to SEE the kingdom of God he must be born again of the water and of the spirit..John 3:5 and Acts 2:38 says we MUST REPENT ! and then be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission or forgiveness of sins and receive the Gift of the holy ghost,(Hence the water and the spirit)...if you do do this process you are not even close to going to heaven.It does not matter what backslidden preacher or your great grand mamma told you.

in the bible days marriages were performed by going into a tent, having sex, and coming out married. hence, if premarital sex is kept between two specific people (let's say dick and jane), and no one else, then it is not really premarital, according to the ways of old, now is it?
question should be, how many people have you been having premarital sex with? that's when there is a problem.

The Lord forgave David for lusting after Bathsheba only after killing the child which resulted from the sin. King Solomon was the next child born between the two. David had other wives, but he did not go out of his way to have an affair.

Exactly, they are nothing more than hypocrites. God will not play around with them, He will not give them 10 thousand chances to repent. At a certain point He will simply leave them do whatever they want. If one is to be saved he must repent and be born again in the Kingdom of God, a process which is NOT, by any means, instant, it takes a long time. Once a person does that he will not sin nor enjoy sinning anymore, and will be saved forever and ever with no chance to "backslide", and here is proof for that :
"John 10:28
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
Once we are trully saved NO ONE , and I mean no one in the universe can take our salvation away from us. We are sealed forever and ever (!)

Any sin is not in God's will for us, whether it is premarital sex or not. When we are truly saved we desire so sin no longer, so no one who is saved should seek out sin as you are saying. Therefore, if you sin on purpose and assume that you can just repent later, you are probably not saved in the first place and do not fully understand what Christ did for you and what He wants us to be. That person needs to go seek God and find out what it really means to become Christ-like.

Not everything that is enjoyable is right. We are not supposed to be engaging in premarital sex for our own good(STDs and all that flying around, and not to mention all the emotional baggage that might come with some people). The bible says that "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything." 1 Corinthians 6:12

because of the fact "marriage" would not exist apart from God. whilst he created guy, and then female, God reported (in Genesis 2:24): "subsequently shall a guy bypass away his parents, and shall cleave unto his spouse: and that they shall improve into one flesh". a marriage is barely "real" no count if it somewhat is recognised by skill of God, because it somewhat is a corporation that he created. And no, marriage isn't high priced. All it takes is a pastor/preacher and the potential bride and groom. Human and societal traditions are what reason the cost of a marriage to skyrocket. there is not any practise or command to have a great, splashy ceremony. in case you think of approximately it, Adam and Eve did no longer even have rings! besides the certainty that at present, i think of wedding ceremony rings for the two husband and spouse are a pragmatic custom, I do have self belief that engagement rings are an pointless extravagance. rings could be made up of something too. With the cost of gold being what it somewhat is, bands made up of low value metals are greater least high priced. confident, some people argue, you in basic terms (assume to) get married as quickly as, yet why start up out married existence under pressure and disturbing approximately money? there will be lots of time for that later besides... Love in biblical words certainly includes obedience. by skill of marrying, you're committing and bringing your dating including your substantial different under obedience to God. assessment this with a undemanding-regulation marriage. intercourse with somebody who isn't your husband/spouse, is named fornication(a million Corinthians 7:2). God did no longer create marriage to be "an exploration", that's a sophisticated term for "attempting out limits". the only exploration occurring interior of a marriage might desire to be that of God's expectancies and could for the dating.

You have a good point - but if you are willing to change - God will forgive - getting a priest to say your sins are forgiven is slapping God in the face - for God is the only one that can forgive sins.

I never did get an answer about that from my Christain ex boyfriend. Ironically he dumped me because he couldn't stand the thought of dating someone destined for Hell. I didn't have the heart to tell him what an utter hypocritical moron he was...
