I have a friend who claims premarital sex is a sin, one of which Jesus will not forgive, even though he died on the cross to forgive us our sins. What do you think?

If you follow Christianity, they say it's a sin.
Most other religions do not. I don't believe God cares. He is much more interested in other ways that you live your life and whether or not you hurt others.

Yes, it's a sin. Yes, it's forgivable. Ask your friend why she thinks the Blood of Jesus wasn't good enough. But understand that forgiveness does not mean that God will remove the consequences. An unwanted pregnancy, an STD, and then the lifelong issues that go along with a sexual history that isn't shared with your husband are all lifelong consequences that you get to live with, even if the sin is forgiven.

It is certainly not unforgiveable. But if you're single and contemplating having premarital sex, saying, "God will forgive me," there are some scarey Bible verses about that. Hebrews 6:4-6, for instance. If you're young, you may not have really experienced the depth of God's love yet. I certainly grew up in a Christian home, sinned, and have been forgiven. But seek God's heart on this.

It depends on whether you are a true believer. It depends on how serious you are about doing God's will because I believe if the Lord himself we're to come to Earth he would want a woman that saved herself. This is why nuns and such do so. You have to do what you think is right, if you think the right thing is to save yourself for marriage then you must try to do it. The Virgin Mary was chosen to be the mother of the Lord for a reason, she was given the highest honor. Also, if you sin and you already know it's a sin, then it makes it worse in the Lords eyes because you are suppposesed to be of stronger faith if you are a true believer.

If you live by the commandments you will live a life of goodness. If you start clogging up religion with other life-force sucking rules you create a society of drones. Sex is fun but it should be treated with respect. Some people are whoredogs and can't keep their pants on. I feel sorry for those kinds of people. There is so much more to life than just sex. You don't NEED sex to live. It's just entertainment. It's only an imperative to people with the willpower of a wet noodle.

In the Bible it is included as one form of fornication and it is a sin but there is only one sin which will not be forgiven and that is blaspheming the holy spirit. Plan it, or practice it multiple times knowing it is a sin, and you are treading on thin ice. God knows your heart. Draw close to him and reap the rewards of a good conscience among other things.

Is this friend God? Only God can say what He'll do. Your friend doesn't know what God will forgive or not. Mistake #1 on their part. Yeah, it's probably a sin. Anything fun usually is a sin. I don't think it's the worst thing to do on the planet as long as you're not hurting anyone in the process. I would suggest a new friend though. They sound self righteous and annoying...sorry.

According to Christianity pre-martial sex is a sin, but Jesus died and rose again again for you so that your sins can be forgiven and have eternal life in Heaven with Him

It is a sin. It is forgivable as are any other sins so long as you are not sinning on purpose. You should be reading and studying HIS WORD with someone. I would be glad to assist if you are interested.
Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
HEAR - Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
BELIEVE - To the Prison guard in Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
REPENT - Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.
CONFESS CHRIST - Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
BE BAPTIZED - Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL - Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

No, it is not a sin. If the guy/ girl is good, u may loose chance of a happy marriage, as u may loose interest after premartial sex. It could be your loss, Jesus is not involved

Firstly to a non christian the question is meaningless it assumes the truth of Christianity, which quite a few of us regard as just another fairy story. That being said, to me sin, not a concept I'm happy with, is to consciously harm another if no one is harmed what two...or more adults do together is entirly their own bussiness and no sin is comitted.
