Well, you say you are a Christian. I would then presume you believe God's Word, which is just as much for us as for the people living when it was written. The Bible says : " Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever." So, in the Bible, in I Thessalonians 4:3 it says : " It is God's will that you should be sanctified: THAT YOU SHOULD AVOID SEXUAL IMMORALITY; that each of you you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God------------- >. "
The part that talks about sexual immorality is the key. Sex that is immoral is premarital sex, otherwise, why would it be called immoral.
Sex between one man & one woman who are married to each other is sanctified by God. Any thing else is not.

Christianity is not about "Do this", "Don't do that", but about love. The Do's and Don't are an outflow of organized and politisized religion and remnants of the cultures of that time.
If sex is about sex - no problem, but don't cheat yourself.
If sex is about love - where is the problem? Love is (or should at least be) the essence of Christianity. Jesus was always the first to ignore worldly rules in favour of the truth - and this is a very worldy rule.

Do you mean no sex before marriage? Well Paul talks of not having any relationships aside one with Jesus and God in the New Testament..it distracts you from your spiritual life, too materialistic in the sense that you have all these worldly responsibilities.
Then someone came along and wrote in Pauls name in 1, 2 Timothy and said we should get married and have children to spread the religion everywhere.
No sex before marriage is one of the oldest Jewish tenets that has carried over to Christianity. Its a purity thing...

Dear Georgia,
The Bible tells us very clearly that sex before marriage (fornication, adultery) is sin. in fact, look at this versefound in Matthew 5:28, "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
The same is true of a woman loking at a man....
Then in James 2:10 we read, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
This means that if you have broken 1 of God's commandments.....you have essentially broken them all. And I am sure you know what the penalty for trangressing the law of God is. Eternity in hell. Stay pure and follow the Lord.

The bible says premarital sex is a sin, and post marital sex is not a sin when both man and woman agrees with it. Premarital sex is basically your old self, but once you had premarital sex then you will have to repent. If you have more questions about sex it's best to ask your priest or the leader of your church.

I was on the fence myself, until I started dating my husband-to-be. What he said to me was that the marriage vows were so important to him, he wasn't going to sleep with ANYBODY without those vows, including me, and that the time before our marriage was a chance to prove his absolute fidelity to me even before we were married. Then I looked at it the same way -- *not* having sex was my way of proving to him that I could face the greatest temptation ever (in that case, wanting to be with the one I loved whom I intended to marry) for the sake of our marriage vows. It turned out to be the best gift we could ever give each other -- I have total confidence in him and he in me that we will be faithful because we personally experienced the way the other resisted incredible temptation -- the most intense temptation I ever have and probably ever will face.
And it's no wonder my husband is an incredible lover, because he knows how to harness his own needs and tend to mine first -- as I do for him. That's a win-win arrangement!
From a biblical perspective, sex outside the marriage vows is always sinful, because the man is not the woman's husband and the woman is not the man's wife. This makes it a violation of, "You shall not commit adultery. Honor the marriage bed and keep it holy."

Sex without marriage is fornication. And the Bible does say that fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of Heaven..Its about keeping yourself pure.
God bless

if you're a Christian you know that it is wrong. it is adultery. that is a sin.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but if you're thinking about it, then just abstain.
you'll be a better person for it and you'll already be respecting your future husband by offering yourself to him pure. you can only hope that he's done the same for you.
save yourself. it's worth it and it glorifies God.
blessings.

It is your choice, but the Bible, God's Word says any sex outside of marriage is wrong.

I would think to myself why would God command us to refrain from sex till marriage.Whats his purpose behind it.If you can find the reasoning behind it then you understand why and come to know of the importance of it. God would never give a commandment for the fun of it. They are there because he Loves us and is protecting us.
