What verse in the Bible says that a person would go to hell for having sex before marriage?

Question

My friends keep arguing about having sex to before marriage. One of 'em said that you would go to hell before marriage and the other said you can't. So I wanna know what verse in the Bible that it says something about that and show it to them so they can shut up.

Answer 1

sex before marriage is sinful even if you love each other. Being in love doesn't alter the reality that the sexual act is outside of marriage, marriage being the ceremonial union of a man and woman in matrimony. Sex outside of marriage is called fornication and the Bible definitely condemns it.

Matt. 15:19-20, "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. 20 “These are the things which defile the man."
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."
1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Heb. 13:4, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
So, very clearly fornication is condemned in scripture and there is no provision for it being acceptable just because someone loves each other. Besides if this couple is so much in love, then why don't they carry out what true love is and marry each other? True love is when you put another person first, not when you take from them. For a man and woman to engage in fornication is to declare that such love for the other person is more self centered, than other centered.

Answer 2

Anyone verse warning of "fornication". That's what fornication is. I'll be right back and I'll look up some verses for you.


1 Corinthians 6:18
1 Corinthians 10:8
Galatians 5:19
1 Thesalonians 4:3

There are about 30 scriptures in the New Testament letters that condemn fornication.

Answer 3

Dear Friend: The question asked shows a deep seeded conviction, now whether or not it is asked out of a feeling of the need for understanding or, out of an underlying conviction is not important to me. First of all, I am not writing this to ram any law down your throat nor, am I here to condemn you or call you a sinner; we are all the same - born condemned. (If you want any more information on that topic, I would suggest you read the book of John)

In answer to your question: There is no specific verse in the Bible which says: 'you will go to hell if you have sex before marriage.' But in Hebrews 13:4 God states: 'Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.' So the question now becomes, what sends a person to hell? C.S. Lewis, brilliantly wrote: (paraphrased) 'There are two catagories of people in the world. The first, who like satan say to God the Father- not your will but mine be done. And those who say- not my will but thine be done. Now to the first category who live there self contained self controlled lives, will one day drop into hell and a broken hearted God will say- not my will but thine be done.'

The point of the short quip by Mr.Lewis is this: A person never goes to hell by what he or she does rather, a person goes to hell by what he or she doesn't do. So the easiest thing to say to your friends is this: It makes no difference what you choose to do in this life because there is only one way to hell according to the Bible: Refuse the Lord Jesus Christ, it is as simple as that.

So bottom line, the answer is no because the only way a person can choose to send him or her self to hell is for the reason explained above. So whether you have sex before marriage is really not the catalyst which sends a person to Hell.

I trust this answer will suffice, and I hope you will do your own study on this topic beginning at Hebrews 13.

Have a nice day and God bless you
T.A.

Answer 4

It doesn't really, however Jesus did not hold high views of Fornicators (he is quoted as saying "to keep from being fornicators all men should marry") and other wise men or prophets did not hold them in high esteem.

God's edict is not to commit adultery, which means to have multiple concurrent partners or to ruin or dehumanize yourself or your purity, depending on literal or liberal interpretation.

The Bible (and possibly God) expected people to Marry one another (make a vow of commitment) before they knew each others (mated).

It is a self-evident FACT that NATURE is not to happy with indicriminant sex, otherwise WHY are their EVOLUTIONARY viruses and bacterium that cause death, blindness, deformed babies and lesons, all associated with sexual contact. Some of these things, known collectively as STD, are NOT curable, such as Herpes Simplex and AIDS or HIV. Others are cureable at risks (toxic shock from the cure, which sometimes is only Penicllin, the potential of skin eating microbes, also from Penecillin and other effects such as Penecillinese).

Prophalxtics don't prevent the spread of Herpes, which can come from thigh contact with lesions.

Prophalactics break.

Women are the BIGGEST proponants against casual sex, men can give a hoot, they love it and can easily have sex with three or four different women a day with no regrets and no problems.

Women, you see, are the INVADEE while men are the INVADERS. Thus women have great problem with this.

WOMEN are also the biggest proponants of KEEPING PROSTITUTION ILLEGAL. Sex on demand for money would give serious problems to the current state of dating and mating. You don't think men, who would be the biggest end user, are oppossed to LEGAL prostitution.

It works, by the way, in the Netherlands. They don't have any serious outbreaks of STD any more than any other nation and they have LEGAL prostitution.

There also, it would seem, be no problems with the mating and dating scene with the Dutch people, either!

So, there is your basic look at it.

GOD made NO SPECIFIC commandment against FORNICATION (sex without marriage), HOMOSEXUALITY.

GOD'S commandments on sexuality only cover COVETING and CONSUMATING with your neighbors wife (ADULTERY).

Jesus commandments were: To keep from being fornicators all men should marry (women are implied in this also, not just males).

Everything else (including STDs) comes from Common Man.

The bottom line is don't complain when you are dumped because you choose to do things without a contract, vow or committment fully understood by both parties.

Answer 5

The truth is that sex before marriage is adultery and is a Violation of Gods Holy Moral law, any transgression of Gods Hoyl law is punishable to hell, thats because God is Holy and Just. the Law is a reflection of His charachter mand morals and when we break his Laws it is a rejection and denial of His character and Holiness. The BIble says in revelations " all Liars will have thier part in the lake of fire, and no thief or adulterer will enherit the Kingdom of God" 1 corinthians 6:9 say's : 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. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. the good news is that Christ died for us, in the end he has reconcilled us to himself that we might be forgiven by the blood of His only son. and Now God commands men everywhere to repent, because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness

Answer 6

...People will go to Hell for rejecting Jesus Christ as their Savior, observe John 3:16-18, which says,
...16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
...17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
...18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

…BTW, becoming sexually active before marriage is dumb and it is sinful - it will cause you more problems in your life down the pike, or could, such as unplanned pregnancies, caring for and supporting children without a stable home, many get girls pregnant and then dump them (possibility of the father leaving), possible STDs you could get from your partner (and you wonder if you partner has had more ), and counselors report there are usually problems in intimacy after marriage for those who engaged in sex before marriage.
…Sex before marriage shows a definite lack of respect toward your girlfriend/boyfriend. It is too bad guys/girls become so infatuated with another that they lower themselves and give in, just to keep some guy/girl. I don’t know of too many middle-school or high-school romances that lasted into marriage – very few if any.
…Guys at that age are usually out to get what they can get, girls – don’t kid yourselves – it is not about love, it is about fulfilling the lust of the flesh. How about asking God for a friend of the opposite sex who respects you more than that?
...We are told that God will judge fornicators (those who have sex outside of a proper marriage relationship) and adulterers; observe:
...Hebrews 13:4 says this: "Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
…Play it smart. Following God’s word is not only the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do. You will save yourself a lot of heartaches, touch decisions, and diseases if you obey His directions.
...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.
(Acts 16:31)
...Whosoever will, may come.

Answer 7

What It really says is that by having sex, you are actually married. (Mark 10:6-9)
And that even if you were join yourself to a harlot,one night stand, tramp, whatever, you would still be one flesh (1 Corinthians 6:16)
Some one who engages in premaritial sex who does not commit to the person who they are having sex with, is therefore an adulterer, and must repent.

Answer 8

Please read the scripture. It doesn't say you'll go to hell (hell is the grave where all go). It says you'll not inherit God's kingdom! That is, you'll be dead forever if you transgress as stated!

(DRC)1 Corinthians 6:9-11, " Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, 10Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God. 11And such some of you were; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of our God."

Message: Dear Incubus, Imnot exactly seeing the point of your peom, nonetheless, I was intrigued by the first claim. it says in your poem "I'm out of reason to believe in me let alone a God," it is interesting to note that the very name human being means lowly human, it means that we are aware of our exitense, something that seperates us from animals and is evidence that God exist and has set us aside and made us in his image. The defat has already come, it is evident in every human, sin is a problem in every human being that has ever lived. No one we dwell with here on this earth has avoided sin, except Jesus christ. Liying stealing blapshemy and adultery all are sins, that will come out as ultimate evidence of our guilt beofre a Holy God. But thanks be to God, that he has given the victory, to all who will repent and turn from sin. then you will look in the mirrion with a new found conviction to serve the Lord, and you will knwo that Christ has saved you, you have the victory and death has lost its sting.
God Bless

Answer 10

Jesus said you shouldn't sleep with anyone except your wife. So if you do have sex before marriage-you have to marry them.
