If two people who are in love and intend to be married have sex, is that fornication?

Answer 1

Once you have sex you are married. If you change your mind it becomes divorce. If you then have sex with someone else it becomes adultery.

Answer 2

Along with all other kinds of sexual immorality, sex before marriage / premarital sex is repeatedly condemned in Scripture (Acts 15:20; Romans 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13,18; 7:2; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). The Bible promotes abstinence before marriage. Sex before marriage is just as wrong as adultery and other forms of sexual immorality, because they all involve having sex with someone you are not married to. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations that God approves of (Hebrews 13:4).

Answer 3

The Bible clearly teaches that all sexual relations outside marriage are wrong in God's eyes. The Bible bluntly says, "Flee from sexual immorality" (1 Corinthians 6:18). This includes any kind of sexual activity apart from marriage.

Remember that God gave us the gift of sex in the first place—and He intended for it to be a source of joy and happiness for us. But He also intended for it to be restricted to marriage. Why? One reason is because it was to be a sign of the unity between a husband and wife. It was, in other words, meant to be an expression of their mutual commitment and love. But sex outside marriage easily becomes selfish, and even boring.

God knows what is best for us, including this important area of our lives. Why ignore His way, when it is best for us in the long run? The Bible warns, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" (Proverbs 14:12) The Bible also promises, "Blessed are they whose ways are blameless" (Psalm 119:1).
There is forgiveness and new life for all who turn to Christ in repentance and faith. Yes, we live in a sex-saturated society—but with God's help we can follow a far better path.

Answer 4

Yes.

The Bible definition of "fornication" is any two people who are not married to each other having sex. Being "engaged" or "in love" or "in a relationship" or anything else does not make it alright.

Answer 5

Yes, fornication is sex outside of marriage.

Answer 6

"Define 'if'." William Jefferson Clinton during Grand Jury testimony, for which he was later convicted of perjury, and barred from the practice of law.

Actually, he got off light. No, it is NOT proper for school teachers, administrators, college professors, executives, or persons in a position of trusted leadership over young interns or students to accept the hero worship often proferred through gifts, or emotional outbursts, or sex.

Just like it is improper for police to beat, photograph in the nude, or rape, persons who are under their control.

Yes, Det. Lounsbury of Norwich along with his partner, took nude photos of the 'bait' girl in a pedophile sting, in the police 'party wagon' van, fed her alcohol, and engaged in sex with her.

Yeah, Det. Lounsbury is now the "computer Expert" who helped convict Julie Amero of 'computer Porn' for the pop-up blitz set up by the 7th graders, and the school's violation of the CIPA. Check out the wiki for Julie Amero.

Expert policemen are those who read the papers on Computer Cop Software, and took the telephone interview.

Stupidity is rampant in our leadership.

Answer 7

Brock, my friend, to a christian everything is a sin. Technically, you're not supposed to be going to the bathroom. This is why their lives are so miserable and judgement-driven. They think everything you do is evil, but when they do it they give some other scripture from the bible that contradicts the one they quoted against you. Perhaps this is why they're all so unhappy and begging for the "second return" of christ. Brock, go do what you do and don't worry about any judgement from christians who aren't capable of thinking for themselves. If you believe in god, that's terrific and you won't go to hell for anything you do, because they're most notorious for saying "all you have to do is believe to go to heaven". Besides, with all the pastors getting caught with prostitutes and all the priests molesting children, I think you're in the clear!

Answer 8

As the definition of fornication is sex outside of marriage, yes.

Second Answerer: The question was not whether it's wrong or not. And I think several billion unmarried individuals will agree that it isn't wrong. The only way it's ever truly wrong is if it's non-consensual.

Answer 9

I'd have to look it up to find the scripture, but from my reading of the bible there is no such thing as pre-marital sex. Once you have sex with someone you are married in the eyes of god ( assuming neither of you is all ready married in which case it is adultery).

Answer 10

The thing for me has always been we are totally unfit to judge sin as God alone is fit for that. So i suppose the only answer is pray to God trust your heart and do as you feel you are being led. No person here is a righteous person and so can not offer you a yes or no as they are not a fit judge of sin.
