Where in the Bible are there ANY!!! verses that say no sex before marriage?

Question

I've asked this question 2 times, not one person can come up with anywhere in the Bible that it says this. By the way FYI for those of you who do not know this, fornification is the spilling of ones seed on the ground and in order to commit adultry you must be married. For anyone who is interested Gods true laws reguading sex can be found in Leviticous chapters 20 and 21. Can anyone tell me what they say?

Answer 1

Read this quickly, it may be censured by Tammy C.

Tammy C is now writing her own Bible. She quoted 1 Corninthians 6: 9-11 as condeming homosexuals. The actual word is effeminent; which is the greek word for incest; not homosexuals.

Anyway, quoting Paul is disrespect for God and Jesus. Paul, himself, would not have wanted you to quote him or worship him by living your life according to him. Paul had no idea that his personal letters to Timothy, or Titus, or the Corinthians would someday be included in the "Book of God". At the beginning of the second mil. about 1200 AD a group looked at about 150 scrolls and selected the 66 that would become what we call the Bible.

If you want to quote someone, quote Jesus.

Now to answer your question. There is no place that condemns that particular thing. However, if causes disharmony it would be a sin. Why? Harmony is harmony; Disharmony is the only sin against God.

PS. you had better read this quickly. It might be censured in a few minutes.

Mary W is writing her own Bible, too. I am sick of religious leaders making up rules and interpretations of the Bible in order to build their empires and control people's lives.

Answer 2

Try looking up the word "fornication". It has nothing to do with "spilling seed on the ground". It is defined in every dictionary I can find as "sex between unmarried people".

There is only one mention in the whole people about "spilling seed". In Genesis 38, Judah had a son, Er, who died without any children. So Judah ordered Er's brother Onan to get Er's widow, Tamar, pregnant with the intent that the child would be heir to Er's properties. (This was a common practice at this time). Otherwise the land would to Onan, and Tamar would be left homeless and penniless. Onan took advance of the situation and had continual sex with Tamar, but always made sure that he "spilled his seed" so that she never got pregnant. He was out to steal her inheritance and to continue to legally "rape" her again and again. It was for these that God struck down Onan. It had nothing to do with fornication.

Answer 3

There is no justification for sin. Sin is anything that is not of God. Lust is certainly included in the sins of the flesh. If you want to be pardoned for the remote possiblilty that you are wrong and have committed a sin out of wedlock, then just ask Jesus to forgive you. Remember you must be born again to communicate with Jesus. I personally would try to avoid lustful actions and thoughts as it can lead to addictions that may try to take the place of TRUTH/GOD in your life. Then it becomes idolatry which is also a sin. Too dangerous when playing for eternities stakes. The word also says that if you burn then you should take a wife. That tells me that if you are horney you are not to go out and lustfully fulfill those desires. It says that it is a desire that may be for the purpose of seeking a lifetime partner. Discern it as you may, but before you decide on justifying, take another look and get another opnion.

Answer 4

So you want us to do you homework for you ? I will not but here is a link to an online bible concordance. http://www.online-bibleconcordance.com/ If you want to beleive that fornication is the spilling of ones seed and therefore justify having sex without being married, that is okay by me because I am not Christian but pagan. However if the bible is true you are treading on very dangerous territory.

Read what Websters dictionary says about fornication. http://webster.com/dictionary/fornication

Typical Christian attitude trying to change what the bible says to make yourself feel Holy.

People justify not obeying god and twist scripture to mean whatever they want and this is what you are doing my friend, but again, no sweat off my nose because I am pagan.

Answer 5

The dictionary meaning of the word "fornication" means any unlawful sexual intercourse including adultery. In the Bible the Greek definition of the word "fornication" means to commit illicit sexual intercourse.
Therefore this Bible passage covers sex before marriage.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 & 1 Corinthians 7:1-2

"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."

Answer 6

here ya go......

1 Corinthians 7:8,9

8Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. 9But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

There's alot of old testament that teaches this. Sex is good for those who marry and want children because it is intended (at least for the most part) for reproducing life. Kids need parents, that has always been God's plan for rearing children, Mom and Dad (a woman and a man).

But we live in a rebellious culture and people want their way and not the responsible way, God's way.

Answer 7

Jesus told Peter that what ever laws Peter would make would be honored in heaven and what ever laws Peter would change, would be changed in heaven. Peter was the head of the church.
One of the laws of the Church is to observe the laws of the Church concerning Marriage. The Church teaches, and has the right to teach, that sex is for marriage only.
Leviticus was written as ritual laws prescribed for the priests of the tribe of Levi. It was written to teach them to keep themselves in a state of legal purity or external sanctity as a sign of their intimate union with the Lord.

Answer 8

Well, this verse certainly indicates that a virgin is to keep herself holy until she is married to please her husband:

1 Corinthians 7:34 (King James Version)

"There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband."

---------------------------------

ok, here's another:

Hebrews 13:4 (New International Version)

"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."

and another:

Exodus 22:16 (New International Version)

"If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife."

Answer 9

A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)

Women cannot "spill seed". Moving on...


But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)

Answer 10

Read Leviticus 18 the whole chapter
