Is virginity important in your religion?

Question

(for both men and women?)

Answer 1

No. I'm Pagan. We believe that "all acts of love and pleasure are the Goddess' rituals." The important parts are the love and pleasure bit, however.

Answer 2

If you know anything about the blood covenant with God, by the blood of Jesus, all our blessings come from that.

when a virgin, with her husband, lay for the first time, there is blood on the sheets. That means the bed is not defiled, and all the blessings in the blood covenant between the man and the women, when they said the marriage voe, the blood, was to seal it. For life. Then there blessed, right then. Without that womens blood on the sheet, it takes away from the marrage.

Wonder why divorce, wonder why lust, no one is taught this.

Answer 3

According to the bible Marrige is when you have sex with someone. So having sex for the first time...or losing your virginity is a big deal because you married that person. Its improtant becuase its the differnce between a single women and a married women.

If you look up the word "virgin" in the dictonary is means a women of maritible age.

Answer 4

Virginity should be important in all religions it is especially important in Christianity and Islam....christians save themselves for marriage but tend to have boyfriends or girl friends but do not have sex with them, do not sleep over and do not shack up with them......muslims do not have boyfriends or girlfriends...at the right age they can get married but until then girls and boys are not allowed to mingle unless they are related or they are married....i think that is great and it should be like that for everyone.....I am christian and my husband is muslim..

Answer 5

Virginity is not important in Islam. The prophet married all the divorced and widows except one wife who was virgin. As regard losing it apart from the Islamic is dealt with harshly in Islam.

Answer 6

Yes. In Islam, it's strictly prohibited for any man or woman, whatever the ages maybe, to have sex or sexual relations outside of mariage. It's one of the biggest sins. It's punishment is awful. Not by people here on earth, but by God almighty.

Answer 7

i was raised baptist...and yes in that religion you are to remain a virgin untill you weddng night...but i walked away from all that at 18 yrs old and had no problem loosing my virginity before marriage...in fact i even lived with a guy for 2 yrs! (my parents practically disowned me for it too!) I'm still not married and have sex with my bf...times have changed. I want to try out the goods before i'm married and find out that we just aren't sexually connected. To me divorce is worse then premarital sex. Maybe not to God, guess i'll find out on the so called judgement day

Answer 8

i'm pagan. that's my conception not that virginity is major, yet that sex is sacred. so that you may have sex, yet make constructive it extremely means some thing. sex is a connection of one soul to a unique. that's fantastically a lot the most sacred project. in case you conception in ritual magick like me, (the technology and artwork of causing replace to happen in conformity with will), sex would nicely be the biggest ritual device.

Answer 9

I don't think that it's important for men in Islam but for women it's definite.

And may many other reasons

Yes in Islam it is haraam for a man or woman to not be a virgin until marriage. It's punishable by being whipped 100 times if your caught.
