Question

thanks for all the opinions and answers...just so you know..Im a Christian and my belief is the same as those who follow Christ and say that sex before marriage is sin, and no one benefits from this in the long run.

Answer 1

1Thess 4:4-6 "For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified."

Heb 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.

Answer 2

Ok, Scripturally it is wrong in that when God first created E. she was Expressly made for A. & God Married them at the time of her creation. She was made from A. as a Perfect match for A. as a "Responder" & "Help Mate" for him. God still "Prepares" Men & Women for each other whether or not they are "Christians". Scripture is Explicit in Warning that a "Christian" should Not marry a Non-Christian. The term "Yoked" or "Harnessed" together is used because of the inequality the 2 people have. Their "Minds" are not "Focused" on the Same "Issues" and they will experience problems down the road. With Pre-Marital Sex, comes "Scar Tissue" of the Soul. That is to say that once U Do something, U cannot Un Do it & the Memory of it will always be there haunting U!!! Both partners will "Compare" Sex Notes / Past Partners, causing strife living in a "Dream World" of the "Past Partner" who did this or that to "Please" them and U may NOT like to or can't do that!!! Then the Wonderful Sex Life U should be having is now tearing U apart!!! John

Hey I guess it depends on how much of a follower are you. Normally I don't answer questions about religion, because it's a sensitive and personal matter. If you are a true follower of christianity, you have to act accordingly to the commandments. Do you live in justice? Are you wealthy or do you share with the poor?Do you honor your parents? Do you understand where I'm going with this? I was raised as a Christian, and I got married in a Christian church. But it's against God's will to use condoms, or something that prevents pregnancy or "kill the seed". The purpose in having sex is accordingly, to procreate: "go and multiply". So, Am I suppose to be pregnant every time me and my husband have sex? Of course not. I started to have sex with him when we were only dating, and then we got engaged, and now we are married with 3 kids. So, have I sinned? No, I don't think so, because love was there, and all the rest are rules from the dark ages. when there was no birth control, and sex out of wedlock would mean a child (bastard). I say go for it. You're getting married, so why not practice for a great honeymoon? ;) joking.. Good luck

Answer 4

I believe it depends on the couple. I have met people who are extremely serious about abstinence for sake a spirituality as well as to avoid diseases. I did not wait until I was married, but I did wait until I was in my mid-20's because I was not ready mentally or physically.

I don't believe it should depend on whether a person is married or single, but whether or not the person feels comfortable with the act and can handle to potential consequences emotionally.

What influenced me? Seeing my 14 year old friend back in high school suffer from the emotional stress of a guy just wanting that, and then needing me to take her to the clinic and be diagnosed with genital warts.

Answer 5

Because sex is suppose to be for those who are married,, out side of marriage is considered a sin,, and usually those who over look this fact end up with more problems than not,, It always seem to work out that way any how,,, one sin usually leads to another,,

Answer 6

At this point in my life I do believe in sex before marriage. I know there are good points to each side of this though. I have a lot of respect for people who want to wait. I think that waiting probably avoids a lot of problems. For me, I want to know that my relationship will be healthy in all areas, including sex. I'm not rushing out to have sex with just anyone but I think there comes a point where you are ready for that but not necessarily ready for marriage. Ok, ready really isn't what i'm thinking.. more like can't afford to get married right away etc. etc... I have seen too many young people rush into marriage just because they need to in order to have sex.... not always a good reason to rush to the alter...

Answer 7

Sex before marriage is wrong. Sex is a beautiful thing that was designed for a marriage between a man and a woman, not to be taken lightly. A woman's virginity should be gift to her husband and vice versa. I wish I would have waited.

Answer 8

It has less to do with how a person feels & more to do with objective fact.

It is sin, which means (1) God is not honored or worshiped; (2) humans do not benefit from the behavior.

First, God says so in His Word. Second, experience tells us that what God says is objectively true. End of story.

Answer 9

Not allowed according to scripture. I feel this way based on I Corinthians 7:1-5

Answer 10

It's all a culture thing. The Pohnpeians, for example, encourage sex before marriage.
