Is sex before marriage a sin?

It depends on what religion you follow.

any catholic religion it is a sin , but ‘god forgives’ so.. idunno

I would say no because I don’t believ in that stuff. It really all depends on what religion you believe in.

Yes, it s a sin. God knew why He wanted us to save sex for marriage. According to statistics, people who save sex for marriage have more satisfying sex lives, and Christian people who save sex for marriage have an even MORE satisying sex life. God knew what He was doing. He’s not trying to keep us from fun - He’s trying to keep us from getting hurt. There are a lot of consequences to sex before marriage. You could get an STD or STI or get pregnant. Sex brings two people together in a way that nothing else can. God doesn’t hate sex; He created it. He sees it as a beautiful, wonderful experience that is shared between a husband and wife. When two people have sex, it’s like gluing two pieces of paper together. They are one. And when you rip those two pieces of paper apart, they will never be the way they were before. Boyfriends and girlfriends experience sex and then break up. It’s the same thing.

So, keep in mind, God CREATED sex for a husband and wife. It’s not bad. And He will forgive. But that doesn’t mean “Oh I’ll have sex tomorrow with my boyfriend/girlfriend and ask God to forgive me.” That’s not true repetance. If you really are sorry and want to go in the opposite direction, then He’ll truly forgive you.

God won’t hate you if you do have sex before marriage. There’s nothing you can or can’t do that will make God love you less or more. He’s already crazy about you!

God intended for sex to be the ultimate fulfillment, for a man and a woman in a committed relationship. His intentions were to show his faithfulness, thru this union. When we do otherwise, we do not live up to our highest potential.

Sex is king, in the society that we find ourselves living in, if we are in the western culture. The eastern countries are far more modest and discriminating, that we are, and they put us to shame, in comparision.

Each time we have sex outside of marital sex, we are in effect giving away a part of ourselves, that we can never regain. God forgives us when we seek him for this, however, nothing will wipe out our actions, from our memory, or the memory of our partner, or the people our partner confides in. None of these things enter our minds, when we are temped sexually. Only the right now feel good of the moment, leads our decison, and many times, that decision, may end up haunting us for a lifetime, if we do not come to God, to get our conscience cleansed, and even then, Satan will bring memories back to haunt us with, and this causes spiritual warfare, that can be avoided if we abstain.

Never, will one be sorry for saving their most precious gift, for their spouse, on their wedding night.

yea, its a Sin, one of the Biggest ones mate

Yes,it’s called Fornication,you must realize when you make Love to someone it’s suppose to be a special moment,and once you do make that jump both Bodys become one,thats why it is so important to wait and be Married Spiritually and lets not leave the State out aswell.Note:Women who have the opportunity to find a Man with this type of respect is hard to find,keep that in mind!.The Harder you work with a Woman the more satisfacation comes your way!.Jesus be with you with all your decisions.

I think most CAN agree that acording to the BIBLE voluntary pre-marital sex is a sin.

Uhhh… no… that’s the point… the only reason they DO think that way, is through application of the English (modern) definition of the word ‘’fornication’’ …which is the ONLY translation that differs from the rest. The Bible never explains what ‘’fornication’’ is… you need a dictionary for that… and THAT is where the mistake happens.

If you think about it, we would avoid many problems if we all followed this…

If you think about it, we would avoid many problems if humanity didn’t do what the Bible calls ‘sin’ …but then again, according to the Bible, we are predisposed to sinning… we are conceived in it, born in it… its unavoidable.

And marriage doesn’t make one immune from STIs… just because they have ‘’sexually transmitted’’ in their name, doesn’t mean that’s the ONLY way they’re transmitted. I also don’t consider a single parent to be a ‘problem’ either…

well captainassassin…I wasn’t aware that all of us on here spoke Hebrew or Greek…I think most can at least agree on this part of the translation to English…However you are right that there are disagreements to the extent of the meaning of fornication…some even go as far to translate it as any manipulation of sexual organs (masturbation, oral sex…) I think most CAN agree that acording to the BIBLE voluntary pre-marital sex is a sin. If you think about it, we would avoid many problems if we all followed this…STDs, single parent families would be less frequent which would help people financially…

Yes It Is. It’s On The 10 Commandments I Think

…NOTE: fornication, is a term which typically refers to voluntary sexual intercourse between persons not married to each other.

…INCORRECT… that is the current ENGLISH definition, and is NOT the Hebrew, Greek, or Latin definition (languages the Bible was written in long before translated into English). Changes to definitions aren’t retroactive.

If you believe in the bible, yes it is a sin…

Hebrews 13:4 “let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for god will judge fornicators and adulterers.”

1 Thess 4:3-8 brings out that it is god’s will that you abstain from fornication…

Eph:5:5 brings out that no fornicator or unclean person or greedy person has any inheritance in god’s kingdom

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 also brings out that just because you have done it in the past must cease that way of life in order to have god’s approval

…NOTE: fornication, is a term which typically refers to voluntary sexual intercourse between persons not married to each other.

What is sin? Something written in an ancient book written by ignorant sheep herders? If so, then for the sake of your soul, I hope you’ve never eaten clams or pork.

On the other hand, if sin is a rational assesment of harm to others, then honest and responsible sex before marriage does not harm anyone, and is not a “sin”.

Honestly, just because these things are written in the bible, doesn’t mean they should be taken in a literal term.(for the reason that NO ONE in this genration follows all the rules in the bible unless you are a religious ruler) Be practical. Honestly everyone sins atleast once in a day (food for thought). Every sin is equal. Seeing as the new testament was written in greek, the greek meanings will ALWAYS be greater than any interpretation of the King James Version.Greek term for fornication means harlot (prostitute). The same meaning these Greek words had 2,000 years ago mean the same thing today. F.Y.I you can still forniccate if your married. I don’t think sex before marriage is bad, as long as you know what might come of it, and you respect your body.

No, you will not burn in the deepest fire pit of hell if you don’t wait until marriage for sex. I think that is special and romantic, but God isn’t going to hate you if you don’t wait. I think the people that believe this are shallow. If a person believes their partner is the one then so be it, let them rock the bed all night, every night if they want to! Marriage, in psychical form, is nothing but a thin piece of paper. And for people to judge them in disgust like that for loving one another, and taking it to the next level to SHOW that love without marriage is just pitiful and wrong.

It all depends on what you believe in. I personally don’t see it as a sin.

to me, yea…Its a really bad sin. But it all depends on your religion. Most religions say its bad…(actually I think all of them do) The media makes you think its ok! but its really not!!! im waiting until im married!!

to me, yes it is! Its a really bad sin! But it all depends on your religion. most religions say it bad. Im gunna wait until im married…
