Answer 1

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."

1Thess 4:
1 Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.
2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;
4 that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable,
5 not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God;
6 and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you.
7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
8 Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

Answer 2

Only a Catholic can be excommunicated from the Catholic Church.

Excommunication is a severe penalty resulting from grave crimes against the Catholic religion.

It is imposed by church authority or incurred as a direct result of the commission of an offense.

Excommunication excludes the offender from taking part in the Eucharist or other sacraments and from the exercise of any ecclesiastical office, ministry, or function.

Excommunication does not mean a loss of salvation. However, the crime committed that was penalized by it might be a mortal sin.

There are a few offenses for which Latin Rite Roman Catholics are automatically excommunicated (the Latin term is Latæ Sententiæ):
+ Apostasy - the formal renunciation of one's religion, especially if the motive is deemed unworthy
+ Heresy
+ Desecration of the Eucharist
+ Physical force against the Pope
+ Attempted sacramental absolution of a partner in adultery
+ Ordination of a bishop without a Papal mandate (e.g. all bishops in the government-run Chinese Patriotic Church)
+ For non-electors present in the conclave, revelation of the details of the conclave
+ Simoniacal provision of the Papal office
+ Violation of the sacramental seal of confession by a priest or bishop
+ Procurement of a completed abortion

Remember the purpose of excommunication is the correction and redemption of the person who has chosen to separate himself or herself from the Church.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

Well certainly, the Catholic Church cannot excommunicate you any more than the Church can ordain women as priests.

Apparently, you are not more of a christain than your girlfriend.

Answer 4

That would probably depend on which faith or denomination you are. I wouldn't excommunicate you. But what you're preparing to do is contrary to the will of God.

Answer 5

God is the same God in the night time as in the day.High on the mountain and down in the deepest valley .His law never changes.And you know this .

Answer 6

As far as I know you can only be "excommunicated" by the Catholic church, so if you're Protestant, I wouldn't sweat it.

Answer 7

Nobody can "excommunicate" me, no matter who they claim to be. I belong to Jesus.

Catholics are not saved Christians, so their testimony means nothing to me.

Answer 8

No, but its not good towards your relationship with God. Things like that lead to fornication.

Answer 9

yes,

unless you excorcise her inner demons,

if you want to do that send her to my house for a few hours.

Answer 10

Only if the Pope catches you on his Pope-o-scope.
