Nope. Not a one. Rather the Bible refers to any sexual relations outside of marriage as "fornication". You will find over 60 times that the scripture condemns the act of fornication.

Every marriage that takes place in the Bible was performed with the permission of the authority at that time. In the case of Adam and Eve, since it was only them and God, he acted as the authority. In all other cases, the marriage had to receive the blessing of the priest, father, family head, tribal leader, etc. Each also involved witnesses to the covenant. Without an authority and a witness, there is no convenant - and no marriage. Anyone found having sex without an authority's permission and witnesses to the marriage, was stoned to death. So if all that was needed was "love", then no one would have ever been stoned.

No it doesn't. Love is nice, but it doesn't alter the fact that God considers sex between unmarried partners (which is called fornication) a sin.

Fornication also known as sexual sin, sexual immorality is a sin. (Fornication - sex outside of marriage.)

The only time it's okay to have sex is with your spouse. Period.

We are told time and time again (Gal. 5 and Col. 3) that those living in sin will not get to see the Kingdom of God.

Perhaps you need to get to know the Lord better, by doing so...you will know His word better too. That way, when someone tells you a lie, you will know the truth.

Hope that helps!

No way. It says in the Bible heaps that immorality is a sin. I read it last night. It says through MARRIAGE "man and woman will become one flesh"

God Bless. Wait until marriage. You won't regret it. You will if you don't. I know this for a fact

A commandment from Jesus must be universal :)

Therefore, you may marry as Adam and Eve with a covenant with God, whereas, you need no Lawyers paperwork, and it must be a natural affection, and sodomy, nor oral pleasure does not consummate anything, therefore the marriage must be between a man and a woman, who consumates the marriage by copulating :)

Doesn't say so. While you should get married to the person if you love them, life is not always that easy. I don't think a 2000 year old text accounts for that.

I'm sure it specifically says marriage. If you are in love surely you will get married later. That's what me an my boyfriend feel. So we would have no problem having sex before we are married. Although we have yet to do it.

No.

The Bible says that fornication (sex outside marriage) is a sin against our own body. Also, it says if you are having sex trouble, to marry for it is better to marry than be inflamed with passion.

1 Cor. 6
16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

1 Cor. 7
1Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

5Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

Colossians 3:5
5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Mortify means to deaden. The men who process dead bodies for burial are called "morticians" as they mortify people.

In the Bible, harlotry is sex outside marriage. Not merely selling it as in prostitution.

Probably whoever tells people that are actually trying to get sex out of them, lying. Men commonly tell women (religious or not) that they love them to get sex. Then they forget it by the next day or so.

Sorry.

No. If you have sex with someone outside of marriage, you don't really love them. The Bible does have a word for it, though. Fornication.
