Thread: Do you approve sex before marriage?

So you shall purge the evil from your midst.

I hope you offer this as a big, huge joke!

It was sick then, it is triple sick now!

In casual sex, one may decide to have sex as a one night stand, or just "for fun."

In a committed relationship, having sex is just a way to get closer and to know each other more intimately. . .it is also a way to know if that committed relationship has a good chance to become a successful marriage relationship, give birth to children, etc. . .

There is a difference.

In the eye of the beholder, I suppose. The act is the same, the circumstances different. But by what criteria should one be condemned and the other praised?

I should think that casual sex makes people more intimate as well. But anyway, so what? Why can't people have one-night-stands if they want to? The only thing I'd question is having a one-night-stand with someone under false pretenses, lying to them about your intentions and such. Be open about it, and if both are in agreement, that's their own affair.

But what the Holy Bible says about, is there not a conflict between the liberal "moral" and Commandments of God.Also, do you agree with the Holy Bible or share the liberal point of view, please vote and explain.

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

1 Corinthians 6:18 KJV

Let marriage be held in honor by all, and the bed undefiled: but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

Question: "What does the Bible say about sex before marriage?"

Why should I give a flying (*)(*)(*)(*) what some fiction book says?

I use my own criteria. I don't condemn those who have casual sex to eternal punishment (I am not arrogant enough) but I do see issues with it. I had already gone through one f/b thing and never plan to return. I would rather go without and hold out for greater intimancey. I think its well worth holding out.

The act isn't the same, one is for fun and the other is deeply felt affection.

Listen to Tool's Parabol/Parabola.

There is nothing at all wrong with sex before marriage if two people are in a committed relationship.

This is pretty much where I stand as well.. Though even if it's casual sex (I've never done that, personally), well, to each their own. Not everyone is into commitment. I'd only urge being responsible where STDs and pregnancies are concerned, but we have parents and sex ed for that anyway.

Who are we talking about here Children or Adults?

Also, when is "before," is there a time-table you have in mind for when marriage happens?

Further more, are we assuming marriage is an optional or mandatory part of existence?

Finally, what happens if marriage is impossible because of the gender of the participants, or the politics of the family?

Why is it wrong if they're not?
