Is what before marriage a sin?

Assuming you are speaking of extra-marital sex:
In the O.T. fornicators were to be killed in the cities, in the country where someone could not hear her screaming, only the man was to be killed.
The N.T. says NO FORNICATOR WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM.
That means sex before marriage. We do missionary work and often have legal marriages for very old couples who never afforded a ceremony. After their legal marriage, they are baptized.
Blessings, Balaam

Depends on your religious beliefs. I personally do not believe that sex is a sin. I do believe you can engage in sex in dishonest ways that are harmful to yourself and others. Like not being honest about your real feelings (saying you are in love when not or misrepresenting what your intentions are) and not using protection. I think that would be wrong. Otherwise if engaged in by two people who are on the same page emotionally and handled responsibly I think sex is a healthy and positive thing.

Eating cheese before marriage is not a sin.

It depends on your religion and own belief, in Islam it is a sin and some believe that it is also in some branches of Christianity. in the end it is up to you, the girl and the God you believe in.

Possibly yes, but then again, possibly no. Unlike marriage, marraige is fairly rare these days. But to counter that, while divorce is rampant these days, divroce is not.

Yes, but for good reason. God never wanted us to suffer as much as single parenting can cause. He wanted us to have a help mate during the hardest time of our lives. That's raising kids.
However...if we have made that choice and ask God to forgive us and help us and send someone for us to love and marry he will..Try not to focus on the rules...just focus on his character and that fact that he loves you.

Yes, living single is a sin. Go get married. Right now.

Yes.
Even the thought of lusting over someone is considered a sin. And sin is considered the same (Murdering someone is considered the same in god's eyes)
So Buddy i hope you change ur ways!
god bless!

Living before a marriage is not all that bad. Buy yourself a snowboard or wake board and live.
