Hi, a questiton for you who believes in Christinity. Why, there are a lot of Christians choose not to marry yet still live with partner like other married partners? Also, is there any teaching in Bible that states it's okay to have sex before marriage?

No, you're not supposed to live together before you get married. Remember Jesus said whoever look woman with lust they already commit adultery in their heart (Matthew 5:28). So, even looking at a woman you already commit adultery at heart, especially when you live together outside marriage.
People can say that they're Christian, but only on Sunday , the rest of the week they go back to their sin full life. The church should teach people about sanctification, and the 10 Commandments. But instead of teaching them the truth, the lukewarm churches teach what people want to hear, because they're so afraid of offending people. If you look through the bible, how many times Jesus confront people, a lot of times. And He's using the Law when He did that (The rich man, the Samarian woman, etc)
I believe that the church should give people the bad news first. That none of us are good people, but to be save we have to repent, stay obedient and put our trust in Jesus. I know most people doesn't like to hear things that made them feel bad. But, it's their conscience that make them feel guilty. The church should just simply deliver the message.

Christians are NOT supposed to have premarital sex. Sex before marraige is called fornication in the bible and is considered sin. The marraige of a husband and wife is supposed to be symbolic of the union of Christ and the "church"...(that is the body of believers). Any sex before marraige isn't in agreement with that foreshadowing or symbol and is also unhealthy spiritually. The only acceptable sexual relationship for christians is within the boundaries of marraige.

The Bible does not condone any sexual relations outside of marriage as for why many "Christians" choose not to obey is human nature. None of us is perfect. Unfortunately some Christians think they are & thats why theres so much bitterness in the world towards Christians. If all Christians lived as Christ encouraged us to we would win more to the Truth of Christ's Love for everyone

I can give you an answer. We all are sinners.
People you feels complete that are free of sin can throw the first stone.
I think we should not judge anyone because we all commit mistakes as humans. Christ was tempted too but he is divine. We have to try as much as we can not to commite sin. The bible that is the word of God tries to save us so much pain that comes when we don't do the right thing.
