Is a woman who had sex before marriage likely to go to heaven?

Question

So, according to most answers, a true christian can do whatever he or she likes, then repent and still go to heaven?

Answer 1

lol- see I probably wouldn't go to heaven even if I did believe in it- Premarital booty is frowned upon, but my grandma always said don't buy the cow till you sampled the milk- She was actually talking about cows and milk but I took it a little more metaphorically

Answer 2

It's often a misconception in Christianity that what sins you have done will count against you when you get judged in heaven. This is a Jewish belief. Jesus said, "Only by FAITH, you are saved." Nothing you ever do will count against you and nothing you ever do will help you. If you have faith, automatically, you will want to do the right thing, and eventually stop yourself from sinning as much as you can.

But to answer your question, Yes a woman that had sex before marriage is likely to go to heaven if she repents and has faith in God.

Answer 3

As a Christian believer in the theology of Emanuel Swedenborg (1688 - 1772), it is my opinion that it is not *what* you do that determines the nature of your afterlife, but what your overall charachter and nature are, and *why* you do things.

So, in my opinion, in regards to your question, if it was a lapse in judgement or out of weakness, I don't think that would keep someone out of Heaven. But if it's willfull, deliberate, and persistent, then there may be a problem. But even then, there's always sincere repentance, in my opinion.

I hope I was helpful. However, this is just my opinion, you don't have to believe it. =)

They must repent of their sins - which means they must truly feel sorry for what they have done, and don't do it again. If a woman simply goes around having sex and says, "I can just ask God to forgive me", she is sorely mistaken. God can read her heart. Not to mention, she may die before she has a chance to repent, so it's best not to do it in the first place.

Answer 5

Anyone can go to Heaven if they truly repent of their sins and live in God's friendship.

Some of the greatest saints in the Church also started out as the greatest of sinners.

God bless you.

Answer 6

Since when has sex b4 marriage become a sin? That's a doctrine to instill discipline and control but it's rathe stupid if u think about it.

Plus the white dress @ weddings is supposed to be symbolic of their virginity. How many of all the women that got married since the beginning of time were virgins?

Answer 7

Premarital sex is not a greater sin than anything else. Repentance (sorrow for sin and a commitment to God to change) is necessary for that and every other sin, in order to be forgiven.

Answer 8

Disregarding religion for a moment, it depends on the culture whether sex before marriage is 'good' or 'bad' (for lack of better words at the moment).

The Pohnpeians, for example, look at it as 'good' and are shocked if two people were to marry THEN have sex.

It just depends on where you live.

Answer 9

Anything that a person does has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not they go to heaven. It depends on where their heart lies, which only God can know.

Answer 10

Mark 3:28-29
28I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. 29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."

-That is if they confess their sins and believe in Jesus Christ, that He is Lord, God is always faithful to forgive us our sins--but the only sin that will not be forgiven is rejecting Him- that is an eternal sin, as the verse above says.
