having children out of wedlock. My neighbors kid is doing a survey and I told her I would hand her survey out to all of my friends, only I forgot. Those are the two questions. I am supposed to ask your age but since I screwed just tell whether you are older or younger then 21, if you dont mind telling your age by all means do so, but I will make up your age based on your answer, if you dont want to. Thanks a bunch.

I believe pre-marital sex is sin.
Having kids out of wedlock is sin.
I am 56 years young, which means that compared to Moses, I'm just a kid.
I also believed this when I was 21 years old and did not have sex myself until I was married.

According to the latest polls 95% of Americans engage in sex before marriage. I'm sure it's higher in Western Europe. One of the reasons the numbers are high is because people get married later these days. I was 34 when I got married (45 now). If I were still a virgin at that point, don't you think society would consider me strange? And I believe a couple should find out first whether they're sexually compatible before marrying.
As to out-of-wedlock children, I think it's best that a child has married parents, but they're are so many who don't have this, that it would be down right judgmental to condemn it. Btw, pre-marital sex shouldn't lead to out-of-wedlock babies -- there is such a thing as birth control, you know.

It is my experience having been a virgin when I first got married that it created for me temptation to find out what another women was like to be with sexually. I resisted for 10 years until finally I gave into the temptation. I was able to learn from my error and not desire to cheat again. Now I think that, had I experiences sex before I got married, I would have been over the temptation before marriage. I do think people need to be wise and not sleep around and they need to use protection unless you want to do what I did, save my virginity. If I had to do it over again, I would have had sex before marriage but I would be very careful and I would say not until 18 years old. You are just not mature enough to be a father or mother younger than that.
Mary was 14 years old when she had baby Jesus. Carry a 20lb bag of flower around every where you go for 6 months and tell me how you like that. Be safe, either way!
The bible calls it fornication. That is one rule I just don't get, if Jesus was born to a 14 year old. I think it is the church's concept to protect young people. Good Idea but not many want to keep their jeans on these days.

I think Pre Martial sex can be dangerous as your are giving yourself to someone in a very intimate way & I think it can get you into a lot of Hot Water. I reckon dont play with Fire. Same with having Kids out of Wedlock I reckon children need a mum & dad.
I am 27

sex is a large part of marriage no point in using it as a prize if you want to before marriage then its right
Children love my three

Then met love of my life had a child and then married out of love wonder full ,unfortunately our child was lost in a road accident and it pulled us apart several years latter we tried again still in love don't know where it is going but i know the closeness in giving our bodies to each other has helped us through our grief wont have it labeled as bad or a sin as we are no longer married...it is a expression of love

It's only pre-marital, if you are technically going to get married to THAT person. I have no problem with it. What a person does with their lives, as long as it doesn't hurt another, is NONE of my business. As for having children without being married? I think basically the same thing for that, but, I do think having a child while you're married is a better idea b/c you are probably more financially stable and are probably in a more serious relationship, but, once again, it is none of my business how someone else lives their life.

If you're an adult, yes. I fully believe in premarital sex. I would never marry someone if I didn't know if we were sexually compatible. I sure as heck wouldn't want a know-nothing virgin on my hands.
As far as children "out of wedlock." Welcome to the 21st Century. It is what it is, and sometimes even planned! (sarcasm mode off).
I'm 50 now, but have always believed that.

With right this moment's society and how plenty issues have replaced as a results of fact the bible days, it is basically approximately majorly customary by utilising human beings. yet once you're a real Christian, no longer somebody that straddles the fence as a results of fact the interior the bible you could't stick to the worlds procedures and the bibles procedures, then you definately don't have premarital intercourse. I as a Christian attempt my suited to stick to God's notice, and that i think of that it is definitely one in each and every of the suited judgements you're able to make in existence. This international is crammed with carnal pleasures, like intercourse, yet it is a recent like such a number of different issues we've and the bible specifically asks you to attend. you do no longer could desire to 'attempt a vehicle till now you purchase it' as a results of fact human beings are not automobiles. in case you like a relationship to final, then you definately want faith. Does that propose in the experience that your companion wasn't good in mattress then you definately might end loving them? it is incorrect. And a similar is going for residing mutually till now you marry, to 'see if it is going to paintings', in case you do issues that way you're basically finding for a fault, you at the instant are not having faith in your self or your companion. base line. Wait till marriage, God's notice says so, its the main suitable component to do, and no remember how previous this international gets, the bible remains going to be the only suited righteous ingredient in this earth, the genuine inspired notice of God

I believe that it depends on your beliefs. Sometimes it is hard to wait for your mate and not have sex while you are looking for the right man. I also believe if you are a true believer in God, would God approve of a promiscuis lifestyle? most likely not
