I KNOW YOU SAY IT'S WRONG, BUT WHAT ARE SOME SPECIFIC VERSUS???

Answer 1

Proverbs 5:15-21
Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well. Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares? Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers. May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer-- may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love. Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife? For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths.
A man's "fountain" should be saved for "the wife of [his] youth." The man is to be a virgin when he takes his wife.

In addition to these three Scriptures, there are 32 other verses in the Old Testament speaking about a "virgin" or "virgins." Each of these passages shows that virginity was highly cherished as the standard for God's people.



1 Thessalonians 4:2-8
For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to acquire a wife in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this manner no one should cheat his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

"Acquire a wife in a way that is holy and honorable" or you are in sexual immorality. Sexual sin harms others besides those who engage in it. In adultery, the spouse is always wronged. Premarital sex "cheats" the future partner by robbing him or her of the virginity that ought to be brought to marriage.

Hebrews 13:4
Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

Again, it's a pure marriage bed or you are an "adulterer" or "sexually immoral."


The standard in both the Old and New Testament regarding premarital sex is the same. Premarital sex is considered sin and a violation of the uniting of bodies that should happen only in marriage.

Marriage is a sacrament from God, he created marriage. Marriage is for one man and one woman. There is no gay marriage in the bible. gay marriage would be unholy and not ordained by God.



Genesis 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.



Matthew 19: 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

5And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

6Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.



Ephesians, Chapter 5, verses 25 - 33

Husbands, love your wives,

even as Christ also loved the church,

and gave himself for it;

That he might sanctify and cleanse it

with the washing of water by the word,

That he might present it to himself

a glorious church,

not having spot, or wrinkle,

or any such thing;

but that it should be holy and without blemish.

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.

He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh;

but nourisheth and cherisheth it,

even as the Lord the church:

For we are members of his body,

of his flesh, and of his bones.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,

and shall be joined unto his wife,

and they two shall be one flesh.

This is a great mystery:

but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so

love his wife even as himself;

and the wife see that she reverence her husband



As for underage drinking that would be the laws of the land which God says we must also obey

Answer 3

For all things homosexual Genesis 18 and 19, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The destruction was so complete, they were blown right out of existence.

Ephesisns 5:1-18 vs 3,5-6 about premarital sex 18 about drinking. Underage is not really addressed on this subject.

Answer 4

Bible says premarital sex is wrong, gay marriage (and just being gay in general) is wrong, underage drinking it doesn't specifically address. However, the Bible does say you must follow the laws laid forth by those in charge so underage drinking would be wrong.

Answer 5

Hi bz. God tells us we are to abstain from premarital sex. He warns us very clearly in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 that we are not to have premarital sex:

“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;”

God tells us that marriage is Holy in Hebrews 13:4:

“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”

God tells us more in Matthew 5:28:

“but I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”

The marriage institution is under attack from the whole world, and having sex out of wedlock is the main reason. This is one of the main reasons for the high rate of divorce, everywhere we look we see sex being used to sell something or make us feel good. And sex does make us feel good but it should only be used after marriage. This is one reason people should take time to know each other before getting married.

Answer 6

i cant give u specific verses but growing up in a catholic school i cant tell u they preach it is non-negotiable even if the teaching isnt always explicit. if ur a catholic i say use ur own common sense and believe what u want. The Bible makes reference to many things in many different ares, often changing the stance somewhat chronolically so its nearly impossible to provide all the precise verses. Theyd probably only confuse you more in any case, if thats why you are asking.

Answer 7

I have not read anything about underage drinking.
Book of Romans: Homosexuality is an abomination of God
1Corinthians: no sex before marriage

Answer 8

underage drinking is a cultural thing. Back in the day, people didn't live much past 40. In France today, children are introduced to wine at young ages and don't become abusers. In America we have the phrase "underage drinking" but most other cultures don't.

The Bible doesn't address underage drinking, but as people above said the term "underage drinking" is a thing in America and God commanded us to obey those in authority over us and that includes the government so yes that would be a sin.
Gay marriage is wrong. God did not create us this way. He did not create that attraction between a man and a man, and He did not create that attraction between a woman and a woman. He created marriage between one man and one woman.
