Why is premarital sex a sin?

Question

I'm not saying that I don't agree with it, I just want to know why God forbids it. Oh and if you've commited this sin can you still get married?

Answer 1

God has no time for such stupid things, man made these rules

Answer 2

This is a very iffy subject because yes it is considerd a sin it's right there in the bible, or whatever other religious documnets ther are. But there is nothing more fragile then a new baby with a perfect spirit coming into this world. And athlough yes sex is fun, it is also meant to create new lives. And meant to share a special bond as man and woman becoming one. In religious views when you are married you become a union. Almost as two spirits sharing one body and it's supposed to be special.

As in response for the marriage question, of course you can get married even if you have pre-marital sex. Thats what repenting and forgiveness is all about. Thats why Jesus dies on the cross for us so we can repent and be forgiven of the things that aren't right in the eyes of God.

Answer 3

For believers in a particular religion, the sin lies in breaking a rule laid down as an instruction to the faithful.

Marriage is a contract which allows and approves sexual contact, so premarital sex is a form of adultery. Adultery is 'having sex with somebody you aren't married to' (whether or not they are unmarried, or married to somebody else).

However, some sects will make further distinctions, as to degrees of sinfulness for different activities and circumstances.

In a largely secular society, the connection between sexual contact and official marriage rituals (either state or religious) is less definite, so less significance is placed on categories such as 'premarital'.

Socially, the idea of 'engagement' seems to have been developed to justify premarital sex, on the grounds that the parties are going to be married shortly anyway, so where's the harm?

Whether sex is OK during engagement or not, has always depended on the personal morality iof the individuals involved, or the interpretation they put on their duties to each other and to their faith.

This can lead to dilemmas for individuals, because various religions (and the sects within those religions) prescribe different levels and methods of 'correct' interpretation. Even within the same religion or sect, different officials can give contrasting advice to their followers.

Depending on your own, and your sect's interpretation, marriage later might or might not absolve the sin of prior sexual activity.

(Retrospective justification of anything is a tricky philosophical puzzle, regardless of the context.)

Most commonly, ongoing good deeds are thought to gradually mitigate occasional, temporary, or petty misdeeds.

First of all let me say , 'GOD KNOWS BETTER'. We are human being and living in a society. For proper functioning there has been formulated some rules and regulations.
Therefore, in simple and brief words, it has been formulated that a marriage contract between man and a woman be prepared and announced in public that they are being married.
This is the best way of future family formation and its foundation.
There is enough materil available. Any one interested can visit the following link (just an example).
Moreover, sex b4 marriage is not a human behavour. Its an animal attribute. In case of animals like cats and dogs, puppy and kitty are unaware of their fathers. They remain with their mom for some time and then leave for other places.
Would any like to declare that he / she doesnt know who was his/father? Surely no likes that. Therefore marraige is a base.

Some people argu that they wana test b4 getting married!! What that means? Is not a shame that a girl or a woman becoming a test lab?
And how many times and how many people will carry on that tests ? Bad bad and shame! Realy very very bad and sinful approach.
Almighty GOD has created human and gave him/her mind to think, sense, differiate between good and bad. Moreover, you dont know who is good for you? There is some thing called LUCK , or GOD's WILL. One shud bear those things in mid as well.

In the beginning God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and replenish the earth.And it says He Blessed them.This was the first marriage and it was instituted by God who when He was finished,said it was good.If premarital sex was okay He would never have married them.As for committing this sin you can always be forgiven,not just to do it again,but to turn from it.Start praying for God to send you a wife.You will be blessed.

Answer 6

Would you buy a cow without tasting the milk?

Look, sex is a very important part of a marriage. Marriages have ended due to one or both of the couple being inexperienced and unfulfilled sexually, usually leading to cheating. To see if the grass is greener, as it were. No amount of faith is going to suddenly make bad sex good. It should not be a sin to have premarital sex, in my opinion, for just that reason. Not with many different people, mind you - that's dangerous and stupid. Trust me, you can love someone with all your heart, and be perfectly in sync with each other. But if the sex is bad, it's gonna make you both unhappy in the long run. I say, if you're really committed to someone, ready to marry, there's no harm in it.

Answer 7

Because we should honor God first, when we become involved in a relationship, we tend to honor that first and not God. Plus IMO intercourse is a way of joining 2 people, spiritually, Like jesus said that one lady had 5 husbands. I'm sure she didnt marry 5, she just had sex with them.
On another note, Sex just makes relationships more complicated, and it hurts more when it doesnt work out. But nowadays people dont 'commit' to marriage, so the same results happen. I think it is very important 'law' to follow, for each persons own sanity and mental health.

Answer 8

premarital sex is a sin because it was meant ot be shared between two people who are going to spend the rest of their lives together under gods way......yes u can still get married just be sure to ask god for forgiveness..

Answer 9

I'm sorry I don't have my bible with me at the moment.

But it does say somewhere in 1 Corinthians (somewhere in the 20's, I think) that if a man knows his fiance and they marry then there is no sin.

It is only a sin if you don't honor your commitment.

Otherwise it is sexual immorality and it also says in 1 Corinthians that when a man lies with a woman then he leaves a piece of himself (a part of his soul) with her.

That is why it is a sin, because you are entrusting a part of your soul with someone other than the one you marry which deprives you both of a pure relationship.

Answer 10

Look around you! Thousands of children being born without the benefit of a stable family to care for them. Millions of children being brutally murdered in the first few months of their innocent lives. Women's lives being ruined. Rampant AIDS and other STD's. Plus a much higher divorce rate among those who have premarital sex, and especially among those who cohabit without benefit of marriage. WHY did God forbid it?? Because He wanted to save us from all of that!

Yes, of course you can marry after sinning and repenting. Otherwise no-one would be able to marry.

Answer 11

Premarital sex can cause a lot of problems. Unwanted pregnancies, STD's, are just a couple. Spiritually speaking when you have sex with someone you create what is called a soul tie. This binds you to that person for life, and if it is done in sin it can lead to demonic activity in your life. Soul ties are not easy to break, in addtion they can sap your life enegy source.
