Question

Which religion doesn't have sex before marriage?i mean the boys aswell.is it africans?

Answer 1

Judaism and Christianity.

Here are some Scriptures that teach against premarital sex:

Exodus 22:16-17: An man had to marry the woman with whom he had premarital sex, if the father approved of the marriage, or pay a high price.

Deuteronomy 22:13-21: Premarital sex is viewed as evil and a disgraceful thing.

Proverbs 5:15-21: A man is to be a virgin when he takes his wife.

In addition to these Scriptures, there are over 30 other verses in the Old Testament speaking about a "virgin" or "virgins." Virginity was highly cherished as the standard for God's people.

In the New Testament we don't have verses describing the act of premarital sex and its consequences like we do in Exodus or Deuteronomy. It is clear, however, that virginity is still the standard for unmarried Christians and that sex outside the context of marriage is still considered sin.

1 Corinthians 7:7:28,34,36-38: Virginity is assumed for unmarried women just as in the Old Testament. Virginity is still the standard for God's people in the New Covenant.

1 Corinthians 6:16-18: Sexual intimacy "unites" you with your spouse. Outside of marriage this is called "sexual immorality."

1 Corinthians 7:1-2: Marriage is recommended avoid sexual immorality.

1 Corinthians 7:8-9: Premarital sex isn't an option for dealing with lust. Marriage is once again recommended avoid sexual immorality.

Ephesians 5:31: Paul is affirming the Old Testament standard of uniting in flesh only with your spouse. One fleshness is to happen when a man is "united to his wife."

1 Thessalonians 4:2-8: "Acquire a wife in a way that is holy and honorable" or you are in sexual immorality. Sexual sin harms others besides those who engage in it. Premarital sex "cheats" the future spouse by robbing him or her of the virginity that ought to be brought to marriage.

Hebrews 13:4: It is a pure marriage bed or you are an "adulterer" or "sexually immoral."

1 Timothy 5:2: As a Christian man, if you are not married to her, then she is your sister whom you must treat "with absolute purity."

2 Corinthians 11:2: Although this passage is talking about Christ and His people, it uses the analogy of a Christian man receiving his bride "as a pure virgin." Virginity was the ideal. Premarital sex was viewed as sexual immorality - just as in the Old Testament.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

"Major" religions all frown upon or prohibit premarital relations, and in general all sexual practices that aren't devoted to procreation. Most of these same religions also prohibit birth control methods as well (it's notable that Jewish practice goes so far as to prohibit sex between a man and his wife while she's menstruating). Many "smaller" religions have little or nothing to say about premarital sex. Satanism and Paganism are obvious, but Unitarians, Quakers, Reform Judaism, and many other organized faiths try to deal with non-procreative sexual acts in a more spiritual way. There's a more compelling argument to be made, that the reason why religions which only allow procreative sex are the largest is because they have a greater selection bias - this is just basic evolutionary theory. That is, because they enforce more actual breeding, they spread more rapidly. This may be why it seems like "all religions prohibit pre-marital sex" -- because if they didn't, they wouldn't succeed enough to be major religions.

Answer 3

you should be asking does God want to see us in sexual relations before marriage and the answer of course is no. God is who we should be living for in this life and to please Him and do His will is what we should be concerned with. if your interested in finding religions who allow and don't allow sex before marriage, they are out there, but it has nothing to do with being in a true relationship with God.
