Honestly dude what do you think? Have you heard of the word Fornication? It comes from the bible. It means sex before marriage and yes the bible condemns it. Many churches nowadays condone it, say that confession is enough. But if you read Ephesians 5:5 It says "No fornicator or unclean person or greedy person--which means being an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and of God." Another verse you can look at if you want is 1Corinthians 9-11, it also is very clear on what a true Christians stand on sex before marriage should be.

No. Christianity is a sin before sex as sex is a normal drive in all life...The church seeks to control human drives by listing everything as being a sin...we follow our carnal nature...as do animals, but being cogent, we place stringent limits to sex, masturbation and lewd thought...and the Catholic ritual of confession supposedly expunges us from from such sins...and after ten "Hail Marys", we are given....go and sin no more...or less. With all the answers you will receive, I wonder how many could actually declare that they were virginal prior to marriage. With the current trend in society...the old immorality is now the current morality....quotes from the Bible don't work here....as the word KNOWN is used many times and that is in the true Biblical Sense....meaning that a person has had sex with another....and Mary....beloved of Christ...had shared her favors with others...what hypocrisy!

Yes and no. It depends on if you are ready to be commited to this person. People always think of marriage as being done so that many people can see that you have committed your life to someone. This is not true if you believe in your heart or state to the other person that this is your life partner for the moment. This is sometimes felt as true love for the moment. People commit these sins everyday and do not know that they are wrong. So who is to say what is in your heart for someone else. Remember we committ these sins in order to witness to others later. Temptation of the flesh is a sin but how strong of a hold does this tempation have on you. Can you actually be without or do your urges push you to do more? Once you answer these questions you will either be a person that is able to testify about the weakness of the flesh or a person that is able to help others who have fell victim to the flesh.

Yes, sex before marriage is a sin. Sex with anyone besides the person you are married to is a sin.

It's not the sex before marriage. It's the Christianity before marriage that's the sin.

Yes it is.
You are required to marry the girl and pay the father money if you have sex with any girl not already engaged. You are married in God and Jesus eyes the moment you have sex with someone and then you must cling to them for life, failure to do so makes you a sinful fornicator and if you have sex with others an adulterer.

Fornication (ANY sex outside of marriage including before) is a sin according to the Bible and anyone practicing it will not inherit God's kingdom.

Exodus 20:14
You shall not commit adultery.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

Yes it is read 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 , Hebrews 13:4. Jesus Christ said that Fornicators and adulters will not inherit the kingdom of heaven. Read the Bible.
