Would I go to HELL if I choose to have SEX before getting married?

Answer 1

If one were to engage in risky sexual behavior, then one would, in a sense, create one's own little "hell" resulting from the negative consequences of such risky behavior: STDs, unwanted pregnancy, or even a tarnished reputation as being "damaged goods."

As for the religious (Abrahamic) Hell, none exists. Sex before marraige is not a sin, as "sin" does not exist either. In fact, waiting till marraige is kind of a silly ideal. Marriage was never originally about love or intimacy between two partners, but rather it was solely for securing property rights and perpetuating and rearing the male's offspring in an ideal environment to further his genetics and the family name.

Answer 2

Yes, unless you are very, very careful.

(1) Avoid social entaglements like the plague. Do all of the following:
a) Go to Las Vegas, or someplace where nobody knows you;
b) unless he is a nerd, don't choose a single man;
c) choose a recently divorced or widowed man (check the date on the divorce or death certificate);
d) leave town immediately after the event.

(2) Avoid venereal disease llike the plague.
a) Have him bonded;
b) just before the event, accompany him during a thorough medical examination, check the result, and stay with him all the way to the motel.

(3) Unless you are very rich and really want a child (in that case, pick a lifeguard with a PhD), avoid pregnancy like the plague, Do all of the following:
a) ask for a photo ID and a vasectomy certificate - or accompany him to the vasectomy operation;
b) wait until the first day after completion of menstuation;
c) wear a diaphragm with a spermacide;
d) put two condoms on your partner (don't trust him!);
e) after his orgasm (don't expect to have one yourself), remove the condoms carefully (don't trust him!) to make sure that there has been no spillage (use bright lights);
f) perform a thorough spermicidal irrigation immediately;
g) then take a shower with germicidal soap (really scrub!);
h) on parting at your door, be sure to get his name, address, SSN, etc. before shaking hands (wash hands immediately).

If you do all that, you should be OK. It's a lot of trouble, but there won't be any consequences, unless not being a virgin bothers you later.

To more easily avoid all the hellish consequences, you can also simulate having sex with a man by providing a perfect stranger with a sterilized dildo. For safety, find a weak old man (get drunk in a very dark room first). Be sure to kick him out of the motel room and lock the door before you go to sleep.

Have fun!

Answer 3

If you do you will have plenty of company!
Most young people have sex at some point, before marriage, whether with the person they later marry, or with others.
I personally think the sin involved that might send you to Hell is not the sex itself, it's the pursuit of sex without consideration of the consequences for the partner. People get hurt - physically or emotionally when sex is seperated from caring, especially if one partner cares and the other doesn't. That's why Christians preach against sex before marriage - marriage implies a commitment to mutual support, and to caring for any children of the couple's union.
I am sure there are many who have failed this particular test, who go on to Heaven anyway. Salvation is for sinners, not the virtuous, since forgiveness is required for all of us. Everyone has sinned at some point.
You get to Heaven through getting right with God, not through obedience to his laws - although it helps to at least try to follow them, Jesus acknowledges that no-one is perfect.
So the answer to your question is: Not necessarily.

Answer 4

Depends on your religion. According to the one I was raised in there is no "sin" that is completely unforgivable. According to that religion all your "sins" are absolved when you ask Christ to be your savior, repent, change your ways. I myself am not a follower of this religion as the hypocrisy of all religion in general disgusts me. So yes if you choose to have sex before marriage and are not saved you would go to hell.

Answer 5

Sin is a slippery slope. In my experience we are either moving into sin or moving out of it. There have been times in my life when I was repeatedly comitting serious sin and was thus hacking away at my connection to God. Fortunately through the mercy and forgiveness of God I turned around and started moving out of sin. The problem is if our sin persists we can end up embracing our sin and refusing to ask God for forgiveness. We decide that there is nothing wrong with what we are doing. This opens the door to other sins, for rather than praying to God and studying holy writings to discover what is good we become our own moral benchmark. But our judgements are now confused, because we have already declared that what is sinful is actually good, and when something else presents itself we appeal to our own messed up standards of morality. We end up getting further and further tangled up in sinful practices, and further and further from God. Hell is the eternal separation of a soul from God, while heaven is the eternal union of a soul with God. It is in your best interest to always choose actions that will bring you closer to God, and avoid those that separate you from God. Having sex before marriage is a serious sin. Those on this site who have advised you to go ahead and commit this sin are not giving you good advice. I suspect they are not aware that our relationship to God is something that needs to be protected and fostered. You must avoid sin, and if you do sin you must have the humility to resolve to change your ways and ask God for forgiveness. I pray that Christ and Our Lady will watch over you and one day lead you into paradise.

Answer 6

No. You won't go to hell for having sex. But there are consequences of this choice that usually show up once you're married. You can't earn God's love based on how "good" you are. Salvation is not earned, and it is not based on good works. Salvation is the product of faith and relationship with Christ. We've all sinned. We've all messed up. We've all made bad choices, and we've all dealt with the consequences of our sin. But our sin does serve to seperate us from God. If we are in covenant and relationship with HIm, we won't want to do anything that will cause a wedge in that relationship. And when we sin, we recognize the severity of our bad choices, we accept the consequences of our own actions, and we vow to move forward without continuing in this sin. There is nothing you can DO that will cause you to go to hell, except for turning your back on God.

Answer 7

God does not send you to hell for one sin I am sure or all of us would be damned to eternal hell. Your whole life's good and bad deeds are taken into account when you read how our Christ discussed the loving and forgiving God our Father.

Answer 8

Answer 9

The Lord's desire is that everyone comes to full knowledge of Him. We all sin, we are sinners saved by grace. It says there is no perfect person. My sin is the same as your sin, God doesn't categorize sin. When we are apart from God we are more vulnerable to sin. He did not come for the righteous, He came for the sinners. He was dinning with the sinners, washed the feet of sinners. He is not looking for us to be perfect but rather for us to put Him in our drivers seat in life and let Him be in control.

Answer 10

Rove, I don't believe in heaven or hell but for the sake of this question let's assume the two are real. Do you really want to spend all of eternity with an inane smile on your face washing Gods feet, when you could be playing strip poker with the heathens?

Sex is beautiful!
