Do you really think that God has anything against sex before marriage?

Question

Think about it. God didn't even make the Bible. The Bible was made back when marriage was a father selling his daughter to the man who offered him the most money. Wouldn't God be much happier with us having sex with people who we actually love, even if we're not married?

Answer 1

No, He wouldn't. Which is why His Word repeatedly condemns fornication, and describes it as one of sins that will prevent a person from entering the kingdom of God. Looking at the number of parentless children, the commercial slaughter of preborn children, the epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, etc., it looks like the Law of God is not there without good reason. Only a fool would see a sign reading "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE", open the gate and walk inside. Yet, God's Commandments are exactly that - warning signs identifying behaviors that will result in damage and destruction for those He loves.

Answer 2

God says to keep the marriage be sacred. And He also says 1 Corinthians 6:18 (Whole Chapter) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body 1 Corinthians 7:2 (Whole Chapter) Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband 1 Thessalonians 4:3 (Whole Chapter) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: Even if u do it with a person that u love there are still consequences.....for example a pregnancy...if it happens in a marriage it's ok because u r married. Also if there was no fornication of adultery do u think there would be STD's?? NO because everyone would only have ONE partner...the way God wanted it to be. Make sense??

Answer 3

Here's what I think God has against premarital sex:

1. Heartache when the relationships fail and the people have already been close enough to have sex.

2. One person pretending to be in love with the other (lying) just to have sex without any commitment (Come on, you know it happens -- not every premarital relationship is true love!)

3. Babies conceived in unstable relationships (nothing like getting pregnant to quickly bring a dating relationship to an end).

4. Loss of value for marriage, a Sacrament established by God for the protection and nurturing of men, women and children

5. Increased sexually transmitted diseases (virgins who marry and stay faithfully married don't get diseases like people who have multiple sex partners outside of marriage)

Answer 4

Yes, I think he does...not because of some silly rule or old law but because when we have sex with someone, we are giving a part of ourselves to that person...a part that we no longer have to share with the person he created to be our life partner. The fact is that sex complicates a relationship...it can mess up a good relationship with doubts and insecurities and it can make you stay in a bad relationship longer than you should. In short, sex can cloud your judgment and cause you to focus on the sensations (feelings) at the expense of what is what your brain (and heart) are telling you is best for you. I'm speaking from experience here...I rebelled against God on this one for quite a few years thinking the same way you did...but I finally came to accept that God's warnings against sex outside of marriage were for ME not for him. I gave away far too much of myself to people that weren't right for me...and now the spectre of those relationships colors the way I view the people I meet now. I can't approach a new man with a whole and trusting heart because of the damage I did to myself (and that I allowed others to do to me) in the name of sex.

Answer 5

Here is a website for how we got the bible: http://www.oabs.org/Archives/Sermons/KMosherHWGB.htm

I'd suggest starting there.

Now for the sex question. Sex was created for married couples to enjoy and to procreate.

Answer 6

Spouses not only image the love of God with in the Trinity; they also image the love between God and all humanity, made visible in the love of Christ and the Church. By virtue of their Baptisms, the marriage of Christians is a sacrament. That means it’s a living sign that truly communicates and participates in the union of Christ the Church. The marriage vows lived out in the spouses’ “One Flesh” union constitutes this living sign.

Paraphrasing St. Paul: For this reason a man will leave father and mother and cling to his bride, and the two shall become one flesh. This is a profound mystery, and it refers to Christ and the Church . Christ left his Father in heaven. He left the home of his mother on earth - to give up his body for his Bride (Catholic Church) so that we might become “one flesh” with him.

Where do we become “one flesh” with Christ? Most specifically in the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the sacramental consummation of the marriage between Christ and the Church. And when we receive the body of our heavenly Bridegroom into our own, just like a bride we conceive new life in us - God’s very own life. As Christ said, “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (Jn 6:53).

Since the “one flesh” communion of man and wife foreshadowed the Eucharistic communion of Christ and the Church right from the beginning, John Paul II speaks of marriage as the “Primordial Sacrament.” Let’s pause for a moment to let this reality sink in. Of all the ways that God chooses to reveal his life and love in the created world, John Paul II is saying, marriage - enacted and consummated by sexual union - is the most fundamental.

St. Paul wasn’t kidding when he said this is a “profound mystery.” Could God have made our sexuality any more important than this? Any more beautiful? Any more glorious? God gave us sexual desire itself to be the power to love as he loves, so that we could participate in the divine life and fulfill the very meaning of our being and existence.

Sounds great you say, but it’s a far cry from the way sex play itself out in the experience of real human beings. Yes, it is. The historical abuse of women at the hands of men; the tragedy of rape and other heinous sex crimes, even against children; AIDS and a host of other sexually transmitted diseases; unwed mothers; “fatherless” children; abortion; adultery; skyrocketing divorce rates; prostitution; a multibillion-dollar pornography industry; the general cloud of shame and guilt that hangs over sexual matters - all of this paints a very different picture from the one St. Paul and John Paul II give us.

The picture it paints, in fact, is the tragedy of human sinfulness and our fall from God’s intention for our sexuality “in the beginning”.

Answer 7

You know how many people have sex before marriage? That would mean that only 73 people on Earth are getting into Heaven when they die

Answer 8

You're correct. God is not concerned whether or not we are legally married, but rather do we love, respect, and are we honest with the person we are intimate with. It's not about the legal papers. Its about the love. If it was otherwise, who married Adam and Eve?
