Purity and no sex until marriage in the Bible.?

Question

Can someone give me specific scripture that talks about not having sex until marriage and staying pure? Thanks you very much and God bless.

Answer 1

Acts 15:20; Romans 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13,18; 7:2; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7

Answer 2

The Jews alive in the time Jesus lived were not much interested in sexuality, which was merely part of life. You got married at 13 or 14 - no later than 16 & that was that.

What really intrigued them was what people wore (a cloth of 2 different fibers was an abomination) and what people ate ( the clean & unclean animals) and whether the ritual ablutions were done. The letter of the Law was extensive and involved a great deal of attention to detail - little to none of this was spent on sex.

This kind of thinking is very foreign to our modern world, but huge cultural divides like this and many others are routinely glossed over as people read into the scriptures whatever they have set out to find.

To answer your question, I do not know of such a passage, but I'm sure someone will find one.

Peace

Gen.1:28a " And God blessed them (married them) , and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, ...." Please note that He blessed them or married them before He told them to be fruitful.They were referred to as husband and wife, not shack jobs.Sorry if that sounds terrible but sin should sound terrible.Other scriptures are as follows;1Cor.6:13 , 15 , 18-20 ,1 Cor. 7:8,9,37 , Rev. 14:4 , 1 Thessalonians 4:3 , Hebrews 13:4 , Proverbs 31:10 , I hope this really does help you find an answer to your situation. I have just one question for you though. Would you really like to marry someone who has lived in fornication, or someone who saved themself just for you ?

Answer 4

Genesis 2:24
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
(this verse is stated many more times in the Bible)

And it also speaks of fornication being wrong- which is sex outside of marriage:

Acts 15:20
but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.

Acts 15:29
that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell."

Also see 1 Corinthians 6
-ooh and the verses jesuslove gave, are excellent.

Answer 5

Can't quote scripture but everyone knows it is a sin since there was a bible.

Answer 6

EX 20 Adultery is any sex outside marriage which includes fornication and impure acts...marriage is between a man and a woman..

Answer 7

1 corinthians 7: 1,2- Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
verse 2-Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

Answer 8

Just do as the Bible says.


(Forget about Lot's daughters getting him drunk to fornicate him, or Abraham having sex with his Egyiptian slave. Heck, you should even overlook when Jesus had his way with Mary Magdalene. Don't ruminate on this subject too long, Christards will always find a "plausible explanation" for all this).


EDIT: See the thumbs down? Still, no one has offered the 'plausible explanation'.

Answer 9

I don't believe that one either! LOL!
