Is it wrong to have sex outside of marriage, I mean, if you're in a committed, loving relationship?

Answer 1

Yes. You know it is. Love is no excuse for disobeying God.

Answer 2

Depends. I know Christians that do and those that don't. Personally I don't think the point of Christianity is to pretend to be living in Biblical times so I don't see whats wrong with this, especially if you love and are committed to each other. Also from personal experience I've known some no sex before marriage guys who are the most awful misogynists, just seeing women as their husbands property and an non virgin woman as damaged goods. Maybe they are not all like that but a lot are.

Answer 3

I am a fully practising christian and i have no problem with sex before marriage. As long as you are in a loving relationship and practise safe sex what's the problem. I personally would wait until marriage to have children but that's only because I thin it is more stable and if a parent dies there isn't a conflict over the house/living arrangements etc.

Answer 4

I don't think it is a wise idea to have sex outside of marriage, however now a days people don't take marriage as a life long committment, so to each their own.

Answer 5

Under the rules of Jesus it's cool so long as you NEVER set them aside.

THAT MEANS forever, unless THEY cheat on you.

The moment you insert into a girl or the moment a girl lets a man insert into her, YOU ARE MARRIED or you're just FORNICATING.

YOUR CHOICE

Free will

You are either using for the moment or using for eternity.

YOUR CHOICE

If you stay together, I can't preceive GOD nor JESUS having a problem with it.

The definition of a marriage is TWO PEOPLE, man and woman, coming together and becoming one and foresaking all others until they die.

AND the ultimate object of that action is the PROPEGATATION of the spieces.

Monogomy is what separeates HUMANS for common animals or BEASTS.

Most animals come from single parent families. GUESS who the parent is, sexually that is. GUESS

While woman may be the origin of sin, she is also the one who 9 out of 10 times, raises the infants.

Answer 6

Why not get married if you really are committed and loving? If you aren't willing to get married, I think you can't qualify your relationship as one that is practically marriage.

Answer 7

Simply put - Yes.

1 Corinthians 6:9,10 state that fornicators will not inherit God's kingdom.
And there are several other scriptures that shed a bad light on fornicating. Sex is to be between a husband and a wife. That was the original arrangement and purpose.

Answer 8

The Catholic Church would consider it a sin since it is outside of the context of marriage. Does that make it wrong? *shrug* I think it really depends on the situation. Call me a relativist, but I'm more concerned about the "wrongs" of people sleeping around with no respect for themselves.

Answer 9

YES. Having sex outside of marriage is called fornication, and is listed as one of the sins that will prevent a person from entering the kingdom of God. There are no exceptions made for people who are in "a loving, committed relationship". People who truly love each other do not lead each other into sin.

Answer 10

According to the bible having sex out of marriage is sin, from the one I read anyway - King James Version.
One of the answers you got states that it prevents a person from entering the kingdom of God. But I thought God sent Jesus so we could be forgiven of sin, someone's gotta clear that one up for me - forgive what sins?

Answer 11

Sex between consenting adults is never wrong. It's often fun.
