Christians: I want to know your opinion on sex before marriage
I am a strong beleiver in Christ but I also beleive that life is meant to enjoy. Not in sin but enjoying what God has put here for us.
Anyone else: Try and be mature If you over 13 your just proving your stupid by saying inconsiderite things

I'm just fine in my relationships and I don't think I have ever done anything wrong in that area of my life

I have had sex and I don't think I have done anything wrong
I have never read in the Bible (which I do read) where it says It's a sin

Sex outside of marriage is sin. It is called fornication in the bible. The reason it is wrong is because you are given a part of yourself to each other without the protection of a lifelong commitment. It is stealing what is meant for the marriage relationship. Sex is also a spiritual connection, emotional and physical. Fornication can cause a lot of problems in the relationship because in a sense you have become one but then there is a constant tearing apart inside because God has not joined you yet in marriage. Save yourself a lot of pain and disappointment. Wait until you are married.

Sex is a gift from God meant to be shared within the sacrament of marriage. It main purpose is to bring life into the world. It allows a married couple to share their love for God and for eachother and the expression of that love is the possible creation of a new life.
Sex is wonderful, but when you share your body with many people, you degrade sex. It becomes nothing more then momentary pleasure. Not to mention the possibility of having a child with someone you are not in love with.
Sex is more then physical, it is the sharing of minds, body and soul with another. It brings with it all levels of satisfaction and it is what God has blessed...be fruitful and multiply!
Sex outside of marriage is either fornication or adultery. Both are wrong and are a sin. Tough...but true.

You'll get the most joy out of sex if it is within the bonds of marriage. In any other situation you are selling yourself short, giving up very much for very little. You will begin an endless road of constant depression, dissappointment, cravings with marks of addiction and any concequence that results from trying to get something without working for it. If you want the most joy in life, work for it, find a person who you can marry and once you've both committed to each other enough to enter marriage with each other, then you will get the most joy of sex. Christ gave teachings that protect us from dangers and help us have the most joy. Many say that commandments are restrictive but they are actually what sets us free if we follow them.

I believe in God, would not quite consider myself christian. My personal belief has to do with love, not marriage. To me what matters is faithfulness and trust and all that in a relationship. and I have that already and we arent married yet.and I think that in this day with all the divorce(and even a ton of religious people divorcing) that I want to know if im going to be happy with that person sexually and living with them for the rest of my life.So anyway, i dont think in my own head im really doing wrong because of the love and respect we have for eachother and the understanding that there are alot of components to sex, not just getting off, and i think thats where i would feel a little bad, with a one night stand or something where no feelings are involved at all.

I don't know except I think that it is an individual decision that you make along with your prayers. I think that if you pray about it and are not going out there and just having sex with random people, you are still being a good person.
The way I see it is that when the Bible said sex after marriage, most people were getting married in their teens and dying in their thirties. Surely there has to be some give and take now!!

I believe that God intends sex to be solely between two married people. If sex occurs between two unmarried people, it's called "fornication," and is sinful.
"Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth is without the body: but he that committeth fornication sins against his own body." (1 Cor. 6:18)
"Fornicators . . . shall not possess the kingdom of God." (1 Cor. 6:9-10)
If you're a strong Christian, that means you love the Lord more than your own pleasures. Be strong, and ask Him to relieve you from all your temptations. Remember, Christ was a virgin, born of a virgin. He shall not fail to be sympathetic to your needs.

I think sex before marriage is perfectly fine. Sex is something experienced between 2 people who love each other, so I don't think that being married will make it any different. It's a gift to show how much we really care for someone else and it's the closest bond 2 people can have. I'm pregnant now and I'm not married to my boyfriend, but I know he's the one for me and I don't need a marriage certificate to tell me so. I'm christian, but I never pledged to remain a virgin because I knew it would just happen when it happens. I'm not against anyone else's beliefs and I entirely respect anyone who is saving themselves to marriage. It's your decision after all.

Sex is an incredible gift that is enjoyable.... i do think it should be for the marriage bed (or anywhere you want, but in marriage only)... premarital sex, with someone you are never going to marry, will carry over into your marriage. You will have that 'moment' in your mind to compare your spouse to, and that is not a good thing... saving it for marriage keeps things pure in the marriage bed... no regrets, no comparisons, etc

i don't believe that marriage was around at the beginning of time so ummmm I'm going to have to go with that and say premarital is OK. I wouldn't like to put stipulations on an observation. I think you are smart enough to know that you would rather have sex with someone you love than some random stranger... so yeah go for it do as you like its OK. Just make sure you use some protection its a scary world out there and children often follow...

opinion = everyone can make their own decisions, I'm not a judge.
I think that most Christians think that by having premarital sex, a woman might become pregnant and raise a child in a broken home. Personally, I feel it's none of their business, but maybe love, being free of stds, and raising children with family values is a possible concern for a better future...but hey, enjoy all that life has to offer!!! Christians aren't judges, so who cares?
