What arguments can be made saying fornication is wrong?

Question

me personally I would want to wait untill marriage to have sex. Im just wondering your opinions why one should wait.

I'm 16 by the way...almost 17.

Answer 1

You don't need any argument other than the Word of God:
"For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality (fornication); that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God..." (I Thessalonians 4:3-5)

Answer 2

I've had sex, plenty, never been married, but now a child of YHWH's and now I hold off till I will get married.

My life experience......I understand why we shouldn't do it. Even if you don't believe in the Bible and all.

The first one you have sex with, there is a "bond". Can't be explained. That bond lasts a life time, not meaning you will have sex for life, but you will remain friends or talk some how throughout life.

Mine...actually just called me this morning to chat while she was driving to work. Telling me about what her husband is up too, her daughter, etc. And we haven't' been together for 20 yrs...let alone seen each other face to face or even in pictures for 10.

But that bond is still there, we talk like we are bother and sister almost. No fear, tell each other anything, etc.

That "bond" is what makes a marriage last, what keeps it solid for life. This also explains why so many divorce and are not happy over time w/ the one they marry after they have had sex with others. For that "bond" is what they seek and desire and its not there, yet they feel it elsewhere and urn for it. So they divorce to find what they are looking for....but never find it. Hence why some divorce over n over again.

Answer 3

Why Wait you ask? Simply because God told you too. Every man or woman that you have sex with before marriage ,God says you become one with,not to mention all of the deseases that you are likely to encur,sexually transmitted desease is more rampant today than ever before in history,and all of it is caused by sin.
Sex was designed by our Heavenly Father for our pleasure,but only when we are joined in a covanant vow in marriage. Sex out side of that is a Fornication,and Fornication is a sin. A sin that you will one day have to stand before a Holy God and explain to him why you did it. Do you really believe that you will convince Him that it was ok?Especially since you now know it to be wrong. When we have sex out side of a marriage,we are joining ourselves with that person,and we become one with that person,and we are not to be joined to anyone sexually unless it is our husbands,and or wives. Wait until you are joined before God in a sacred Marriage vow,so that you will feel clean and pure befor God,and the children that you will one day bear, Whenever you are in doubt about anything in this life,just stop and ask yourself,,,,, What would Jesus do,or say about it. If you do that,someday you will look back on your life and not be ashamed,or if God forbid that you died,or were killed,and you was called upon to meet your Creator,you could stand face to face with Him,and not be ashamed. That to me would be worth it all.

Answer 4

Fornication is wrong, but having sex before marriage is neither "fornication" nor adultery.

In Exodus, chapter 20, we read the Ten Commandments, and are told that we should not commit adultery. Adultery however is not defined as simply having sex outside of marriage. It's defined as having sex with a married person. Nothing is said to prohibit sexual relations between two unmarried people. In fact, if we look in the book of Leviticus, we are given a list of every situation in which we should not have sex. We're not to have sex with married people, or with family members, or with animals. We are not, however, prohibited from having sex with an unmarried person who is not in our family.

Some places in the bible, such as Mark 7:21, state that "fornication" is a sin. Fundamentalists like to interpret that as meaning "sex outside of marriage." It's not true. The Greek translation identifies "fornication" as being any "illicit (illegal) sexual activity." However, as we saw above, God did not mention sex between two unmarried people as being illicit.

Answer 5

Fornication by definition as any sexual act outside of marriage, which would include bestiality.

Heb 13:4 teaches that marriage is honorable and the bed undefiled but God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.

Wait until you are married and make sure you pick a mate who has the same godly fear and morals.

Answer 6

Honestly, I think waiting until marriage is a silly thing. Granted, there's more to any lasting relationship than just sex, but there's got to be some kind of physical unity there, or it just doesn't work. My opinion? Premarital sex is a learning tool, as long as you're VERY careful, and choose wisely.

Answer 7

You exchange more than bodily fluids when having sex. God made a covenant with man; a blood covenant. Just as in marriage, a man makes a blood covenant with his wife (assuming that she is a virgin upon marriage) and they are to spend the remainder of their days together. Remember God says evil conversation corrupts good manners?. The spirits of those individual(s) who are contrary to God will eventually corrupt you if you remain amongst them. The same is true to sex outside of marriage; you acquire spirits that are not generally of God.

Answer 8

How precisely is the area immoral? until eventually for sure you've taken the quote out of context and suggesting that the Church (or the Pope for that count number) condone male Prostitution. may you recommend that the Pope may be "more beneficial moral" by ability of both; A) Suggesting using condoms might want to not in any respect be justified. or B) Male Prostitution replaced right into an ethical sturdy. do not attempt to take on the Magisterium on that's moral training...until eventually you're prepared to be "out-moralled"

Answer 9

I wouldnt buy a car without test driving it and most cars dont last more than 10 years. Marriage is a huge step when taken seriously. Waiting is a nice idea, just not realistic if you are going to date for a long time before getting married. Good luck.

Answer 10

You will be breaking one of Gods rules, It will be your sin and whoever you have sex with. But that is your choice. I myself don't believe in sex before marriage.Besides that, there is to much free sex going on in the world and so many diseases!
