it's called fornication and yes, it's a sin. Here are some verses in the Bible...\n\n1Co 6:18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. \n\n1Co 7:2  Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. \n\nGal 5:19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, \nGal 5:20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, \nGal 5:21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. \n\nEph 5:3  But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; \n\n...just to name a few.

God says to "be fruitful & multiply." I honestly do not remember seeing  ANYWHERE in the Bible that you have to be married 1st. The only thing I recall is that we are supposed to be monogamous & commit ourselves to our mate until death. Does that mean that we have to be married in the conventional sense? I don't know. Maybe this whole formal marriage thing was put in place to deepen the commitment.

Find it in the Bible.  By the way, why is this question posted under Law & Ethics?

First, are you truly saved?  Have you accepted Jesus as your savior and applied His blood to cover your sins?\n\nSexually, He says fornication is a sin.  What you want to do..is sinful.\n\nRead your bible, speak to your pastor...that's better than a lot of answers you'll find here.

the sin in my opinion is what you do to achive this\nI mean u visit P0rN Sites wtach movies et...\n\n"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. " Matthew 5:27

Where did you get the idea that sex is wrong?..There is no written rule there. The bible says "you can be married if you feel you need to be , but you don't have to be".. It actually says "pick one and stay with them" That is Gods own personal advise on that subject!..You don't have to be married, just monogamous. quit kicking your own arse and be in love for pete's sake!

read hebrws 13:4"Marriage is honarable among all, and the bed undefined; but for fornicators and adultterers God will judge".Also Hebrew 5:5 "For this you know, that no fornicator; unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater. has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God." I hope this helped.

You're absolutely right. Jesus never was married. I have never seen that in the Bible, or heard that from any preacher. The Bible is was, is, and will always be the Truth.

It's not that we are against pre-marital sex, it's that we don't want OUR kids doing it before they are emotionally and physically capable of dealing with all the repercusions, such as unwanted pregnancy, STDs etc.  Most Americans do have sex prior to marriage, and have been since the sexual revolution in the '60s.  However, the Bible teaches that sex outside of marriage is a sin.  Sounds to me that your "religious people" are picking and choosing which part of the Bible to follow and which part to ignore.

Well listen, in the bible it says...\n\nRomans 6:12  \nTherefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.  \n\nMatthew 5:27-28  \n" You have heard that it was said to those of old, `You shall not commit adultery.'  28  But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."  \n\n Corinthians 6:15-20  \nDo you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make [them] members of a harlot? Certainly not!  16  Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body [with] [her]? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."  17  But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit [with] [Him].  18  Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.  19  Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit [who] [is] in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?  20  For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.  \n\n\nWell anyhow...If you can Masturbate without lusting, then good for you, but There is no way you can. \n\nAnd ur not honoring ur body for God.\n\nAnd yes, thinking that Masturbation is normal, is also a sin.\n\nSex is within marriage.

1st Corinthians 6:9,10  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kindgom of God?  Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor theives, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.\nThou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 18:22\nHEY CHRISTIANS he who is without sin cast the first stone.  \nAnyone notice that he mentions premarital and extramarital sex right along with homosexuality?  Why all the homosexual bashing, what about child abusers, pedophiles, wife beaters, adulteres, liars, cheaters, thieves, etc. What about you?  What about me?

Is it right, might be reworded as, "is it a sin".  The short answer is yes.  However, let me clerify the christian viewpoint on sin.  All People sin.(Romans 3:23).  Sin has a penalty(Romans 6:23) God sent his son to pay the penalty of our sin (Romans 5:8). If your heart is right, God forgives your sin, through the death of his son (Romans 10:9).  Now to the fun stuff.  Jesus died for all your sins, even the ones you'll do in the future.  If that were not true, he would need to come back and pay for them again.  So all your sin has already been covered.  All your responsable for right now is to grow as a christian (1 Corinthians 3:2 & Hebrews 5:12).  If you are a christian asking this kind of question, then God will reveal your answer through his word. until that time it is a sin what you are doing, but that doesn't stop God from loving you, or prevent you from getting into heaven.  As you grow in other ways, God will deal with your 'self love' too.\n\nIMHO

No it is not.  It is called the sin of fornication.  That is what sex before marriage is called.  Certainly a true Christian would not be actively engaged in sex before marriage.  A true Christian, who made a mistake, would be repentant and try not to be doing it anymore.

Do you have moral or religious reservations about premarital sex? If you think it's wrong or dirty or sinful, that can cause a big problem. If this is it, you need to either get counseling or get married.

you got it. Its a cultural thing. Its a sin to indulge in pre marital sex. for 18 or more years they are told its wrong to have sex before marriage. You cannot convince them over a few months to change such an instilled value. Unless they agree on their own. And don't you dare go on forcing yourself on them because its not your right to do so.
