*please dont judge me i am just asking*
pre-marital sex is not mentioned in the 10 commandments, therefore i do not find it one of the biggest sins. i have not found in the bible that god himself said he was against pre-marital sex. i do believe that sex should only be between people who do plan to start a family together, afterall, that is what sex is for; breeding and filling the earth with people. i know that god said that it is the job of the people to populate the earth. therefore i see no problem with it.
well to sum it up why is pre-marital sex wrong in god's eyes?

Yes, Jehovah really does hate pre-marital sex.
Perhaps it is useful to recognize how Israelites formalized their marriages in the time of Moses. For the most part, the marriage was formalized when the couple consummated their sexual relationship. This meant that pre-marital sex was essentially impossible, as the act itself was the marriage "ceremony".
Readers will note that the Ten Commandments do condemn adultery (that is, extra-marital sexual covetousness).

Let me see if I can give you some direction on the subject of pre-marital sex. I hope you will take your Bible and look it up for yourself. As you know, the Apostle Paul was chosen by God to preach to the Gentiles. And one of things that God asked Paul to tell us was, "Be imitators of God as dear children, and walk in love....(Ephesians 5:1,2) And he goes on to tell us about pre-marital sex in the next verse. v.3 "But.....
fornication (pre-marital sex) and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it NOT even be named among you, as is fitting for saints. (In other words, a believer/Christian person, should never be accused of having pre-marital sex - it's against God's teachings). v. 4 "...neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse talk, which are not fitting...." Look at v. 5...
"For this you know___ that NO FORNICATOR, no unclean person, nor covetous person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of God. v 6. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons/daughters of disobedience.
You see, God has a plan for your life - as a child of God. He says, "Be ye holy, for I am holy." He has set down some rules and principles, and given the believer the Holy Spirit, to help us make the right choices. We live in a very 'liberal' society, a society that will tell you it's ok to go to bed with a girl or a guy before marriage - it's a lie. The fruits of that lie is seen everyday of our lives. Unwanted babies born..., no committment from boyfriends and girlfriends, unable to provide for families, welfare roles.... the list goes on. Good luck in your understanding of God's teachings and love.

God hates premarital sex because marriage is honorable of bed undefiled.
In the Bible premarital means fornication....
1Coritians6:18 Flee fornication,every sin that a man doeth is without the body;but he that commiteth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What?know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,ahich ye have of God,and ye are not your own?

All through the Bible you'll find that God speaks by means of a spokesman. Rarely does he carve his edicts in stone or shout from the sky in a thunderous voice.
God spoke to Abraham through an angel. (Genesis 22:15-18)
The monumental task that was given to Moses was communicated through an angel, not from God directly. (Exodus 3:2)
Many human prophets delivered messages from Jehovah. (Nathan, Jonah, Samuel, Zechariah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel...)
Jesus himself delivered messages from Jehovah (John 7:16)
So, not all important messages from God are delivered personally - you have to trust his messengers as well.
Here are some points to consider:
(1) Forget actually HAVING sex outside of marriage - God's law makes fornication something not even to dwell on and discuss!
(Ephesians 5:3) ". . .Let fornication and uncleanness of every sort or greediness not even be mentioned among YOU, just as it befits holy people"
(2) Practice of fornication disqualifies you from receiving God's reward:
(Galatians 5:19-21) "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are fornication ... those who practice such things will not inherit God’s kingdom."
(2) We aren't even supposed to hang out with people who practice premarital sex.
(1 Corinthians 5:9) ". . .In my letter I wrote YOU to quit mixing in company with fornicators,"
If God caused these commands to be recorded his letter to humans, then they must accurately reflect his feelings on the subject. (2 Timothy 3:16)
I can't tell you WHY he made the laws the way they are, but as evidenced above, it's pretty clear WHAT the laws are.

In your human understanding you try to set a scale for sins, that some are worse than others in Gods eyes it is not so, for the penalty for sin (all sins get the same penalty) is death. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. Yes premarital sex is a sin, but it is no worse than lying, and no better than Murder. Sin is sin. Repent (turn from your sin) and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the Remission of your sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

his love is not with the flesh period. 1John 2:15-16. He only excepts it in marriage, if you are married and die he will show you how much he hates it.
the flesh, it is the for the wisdom of sex givin to man, is placed on many woman. So God gave us the desire for multiple lovers. How many dates, or mates have you had as you blindly search for the ONE.
Do you think God breeds us like animials?
or are you a animal breeding for the Lord?
I know there is not one Guy that has been atracted to only one woman in there life. If all woman were naked, there eyes would not look at that one woman. That is why sex is a sin and is not aloud in heaven, Notice christians I did not say here on earth. For you have to marry your sin, or you will be threwn into hell. So in a way it is like you are stealing from God, but letting God know you are stealing, and God says as long as you are married.
do you understand my wisdom? If you knew the power of God you could have been married in heaven, but you are ALL blind, and lost a tresure in heaven.

The nuns who taught me shoved all sex-related stuff into the "no adultery" commandment, despite the fact that a lot of it technically wasn't adultery. I don't know what other faiths teach.

Jehova hates extra-marrital sex. Pre-marrital sex is the scourge of Catholicism.

Do we hate it??? Hmmm, well the Bible does tell us to turn away from badness.
We as Christians feel sex is to be between husband and wife only. Simple.

1 Corinthians 7:35-37 (King James Version)
35And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
36But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will ,( have sex) he sinneth not: let them marry.
37Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well
