Pre-marital sexual relations?

Question

I know that pre-marital sex is a sin, but is it okay to do "everything" else as long as it doesn't involve intercourse?
Also, does anyone know where in the Bible it says pre-marital sex is a sin?

Answer 1

" Do not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals.....shall inherit the kingdom of God" ...... And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God". (I Corin. 6:9-11)

The word 'fornication' here means all sexual immorality & lustful desires.....the greek word is porneia, from which we get 'pornography'.

Answer 2

The New Testament repeatedly prohibits "fornication." I think you'll find it in Matthew and a couple other verses. As far as the other stuff...

The Bible also prohibits sexual immorality (vaguely defined) and lust. Generally speaking fondling and the like would be prohibited outside of marriage because when you are not married you cannot have the husband/wife Christian love that the Bible aims for. With kissing and hand-holding I think it is generally accepted as okay. But if you are slobbering all over somebody and it's getting heated it may not be okay. You have to know your boundaries. If you are making out will it go any farther? If you and your boyfriend have your limits then kissing is probably not a problem. But there are plenty of good Christian girls who think they know their limits, start kissing, and before you know it off goes the skirt.

Answer 3

im not sure, good question. but i dono if bases 1 to 3 count as sex, their sexual activites but not really sexual intercourse. and yeah where is pre-marital sex found in the bible/

Answer 4

It's NOT a sin. The most loving, selfless relationship I'm in is my current marriage, and I experienced my wife's selflessness both non-sexually and sexually before marriage. Trust me when I tell you this: the baggage we put around sex makes God into a tyrant and guilt-based task master. The most loving thing we can do for God is to drop all this horrible guilt and the negative images we've created for him. My parents didn't and the psychological problems they had were IMMENSE -- something that took DECADES for their children (including me) to overcome. God is Unconditional Love. That's it. We treat each other with that same Unconditional Love which means that when we have sex, we consider the other person's needs and make sure that everything is consensual. If we go with that, real morality will naturally occur.

Answer 5

I actually have failed myself, and all and sundry in this communicate board is delusional in the journey that they declare to have under no circumstances experienced an same. criteria and morals are ideal pursued with the magnificent of intentions, yet with an infusion of truth comes a cost of failure. i'm having a wager that Palin has not continuously been pleased with her own setbacks, or of her daughter's. this does not propose the expectations replace though.

Answer 6

No. Not even lip kissing & fondling is really permitted. Modern day sinful society just likes breaking the rules.

Answer 7

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Mt 5:28, NIV).

Any sex, except between a man and his wife, is sin.

Answer 8

you can always read the Bible yourself...

1st Thessalonians 4:1-8

Answer 9

Sex is never a sin. It should be done always.

Answer 10

one must do what one feels in their own heart is the correct thing to do.
