I'm a Christian, but I'd be that Christianity declares that about 90% of sex is sinful.  I can't see how it was a sin to sleep with my wife a few months before we were going to get married anyway...Sex is not a dirty little act that should be shunned by everyone...but the church thinks so.

You are much mistaken on many of your "if you do this then you go to hell" comments.  Those who go do hell are those who do not have faith in Christ for the forgiveness of their sins.  Christ is the answer to the sin problem.  Those who go to hell are the ones who do not take hold of the answer.  They try to solve their sin problem by some other means.\n\nKeep reading the Bible to find out what it really says.

There's still fornication between a man and a woman that must be avoided.\n\nSalvation\n\nDefinition: Preservation or deliverance from danger or destruction. That deliverance may be from the hands of oppressors or persecutors. For all true Christians, Jehovah provides through his Son deliverance from the present wicked system of things as well as salvation from bondage to sin and death. For a great crowd of faithful servants of Jehovah living during “the last days,” salvation will include preservation through the great tribulation.\n\nWill God, in his great mercy, eventually save all humankind?\n\nDoes 2 Peter 3:9 indicate that there will be universal salvation? It says: “The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish [“he does not want anyone to be destroyed,” TEV], but that all should reach repentance.” (RS) It is God’s merciful desire that all of Adam’s offspring repent, and he has generously made provision for forgiveness of the sins of those who do. But he does not force anyone to accept that provision. (Compare Deuteronomy 30:15-20.) Many reject it. They are like a drowning man who pushes away a life preserver when it is thrown to him by someone who desires to help. It should be noted, however, that the alternative to repentance is not an eternity in hellfire. As 2 Peter 3:9 shows, those who do not repent will perish, or “be destroyed.” Verse 7 (RS) also refers to “destruction of ungodly men.” There is no thought of universal salvation here.—See also the main heading “Hell.”\n\nDoes 1 Corinthians 15:22 prove that all humans will eventually be saved? It says: “As in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.” (RS) As shown in the surrounding verses, what is under discussion here is resurrection. Who will be resurrected? All whose death is attributable to Adamic sin (see verse 21) but who have not also personally committed the willful transgressions set forth in Hebrews 10:26-29. As Jesus was raised from Hades (Acts 2:31), so all others who are in Hades will be “made alive” by means of the resurrection. (Rev. 1:18; 20:13) Will all of these gain eternal salvation? That opportunity will be open to them, but not everyone will take hold of it, as is indicated at John 5:28, 29, which shows that the outcome to some will be adverse “judgment.”\n\nWhat about texts such as Titus 2:11, which refers to “the salvation of all men,” according to the rendering of RS? Other texts, such as John 12:32, Romans 5:18, and 1 Timothy 2:3, 4, convey a similar thought in RS, KJ, NE, TEV, etc. The Greek expressions rendered “all” and “everyone” in these verses are inflected forms of the word pas. As shown in Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words (London, 1962, Vol. I, p. 46), pas can also mean “every kind or variety.” So, in the above verses, instead of “all,” the expression “every kind of” could be used; or “all sorts of,” as is done in NW. Which is correct—“all” or the thought conveyed by “all sorts of”? Well, which rendering is also harmonious with the rest of the Bible? The latter one is. Consider Acts 10:34, 35; Revelation 7:9, 10; 2 Thessalonians 1:9. (Note: Other translators also recognize this sense of the Greek word, as is shown by their renderings of it at Matthew 5:11—“all kinds of,” RS, TEV; “every kind of,” NE; “all manner of,” KJ.)\n\nAre there scriptures that definitely show that some will never be saved?\n\n2 Thess. 1:9, RS: “They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.” (Italics added.)\n\nRev. 21:8, RS: “As for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.”\n\nMatt. 7:13, 14,

No, they are not all going to Hell and God is giving them a chance.  Acts     17 :  30    And the times of this ignorance  God  winked  at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.  God will not hold anyone responsible for things they knew nothing about but only when you know and still do not do the right thing, then you will pay.  So God has and is giving them a chance as HE knows their heart and if they would have followed Him if they had known about Him.

I believe so. It's in the bible. Fornication (sex before marriage) should not be committed. Share that special something with that special someone.

If you watch porn, it is considered fornication because in  your mind, you really can't be thinking about Jesus or anything, can you? It isn't improper to have an unsaved boyfriend or girlfriend, it is improper to marry them though because then you are unequally yoked. That means if something goes wrong in your life you and your spouse are supposed to being praying but if they aren't saved, you going to God by yourself. Theres always that one scripture that says 'how can two walk together unless they agree?', which means sooner or later one of you are going to have to compromise and it's more than likely that you will compromise your beliefs.

Ok since no one really explained it!  One of the 10 commandements states do not commit adultery...when Jesus came to prove we needed His salvation He made it harder and said that if anyone looks at another with lust has already commited adultery with them in their hearts.  So in turn pornos are bad because you are lusting after the person on screen which also means you are commiting adultery at heart.  But adultery is still a sin and sins can be forgivin if saved and baptized!

No, they are not condemned to go to hell\nbecause you call them by all these rude and\nhurting words. It is not a sin to be who you are.\nHowever, if you do not love thy neighbor\nas the ten commandments say, then you are \ncommitting a sin. God created us all in his\nimage. Are you saying he made a mistake\nand has not fixed that yet? What is Hell?\nFor allot of these people living in to days world is hell.\nAnd all the the righteous and Strong Christians etc,\nshould not point fingers at other people and say they\nare sinners before they have checked out their own\n'LAUNDRY"

Yes it is and we are all going to burn in hell get a life!\n\nYou should go to hell why?  because:\n\nYou kill animals to eat them, you're going to hell\nEver killed a fly? that's murder you're going to hell\nEver had sex outside marriage? that's a sin too, burn!\n\nIf you consider everything that is meant to be a sin then the question that you should ask is not "Am I going to hell?" but rather "Who IS going to heaven?"

I don't think ALL religions consider pre-marital sex to be a sin. Scientology doesn't, paganism doesn't, hinduism doesn't and I don't think buddhism does either.

Heb 13:4  Let marriage be kept honorable in every way, and the marriage bed undefiled. For God will judge those who commit sexual sins, especially those who commit adultery. \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.

I am mormon but we do believe the bible as well. Here are some of the many scriptures referring to sexual activities and feelings. I hope that this helps. If you are looking for something specific, let me know:\n\nFornication (Sex before marriage):\nAbstain from fornication, Acts 15: 20. \nThe body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, 1 Cor. 6: 13-18. \nTo avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, 1 Cor. 7: 2-3. \nThis is the will of God, that ye should abstain from fornication, 1 Thes. 4: 3.\n\nAdultery (sex with someone other then your legal spouse)\nJames 2: 11\n  11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. \nLev. 20: 10\n  10  And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. \nEx. 20: 14\n  14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. \nDeut. 5: 18\n  18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery. \nProv. 6: 32\n  32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. \n\nLusts of flesh:\n1 Jn. 2: 16-17:  16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world bpasseth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. \nRom. 1: 24, 27\n  24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:   27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. \nGal. 5: 16, 24  16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.  24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. \nJames 1: 14-15  14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. \nMatt. 5: 28  28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. \nGal. 5: 19  19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

As a minister I can assure you just because you are gay this not what will keep you out of heaven. No where in the bible does it ever imply that because you are gay you are a sinner. Now however it does teach that if you practice sin ,that is what will send you to hell. It is the practice of homosexuality that is sinful. the same applys to a whole lot of straight folks to. Adultry ,fornication ,lying etc.\n  Read and study these verses : You will find it is Sin  against Gods will that sends folks to hell and sin applys to all people . \n  NIV 1 Timothy 1:9-10\n9  We also know that law  is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, \n10  for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers--and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine \n\n\nNIV 1 Timothy 4:1-3\n1  The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. \n2  Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. \n3  They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. \n\n\nNIV Revelation 21:7-8\n7  He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. \n8  But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." \n\n\nNIV Romans 1:21-32\n21  For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. \n22  Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools \n23  and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. \n24  Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. \n25  They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. \n26  Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. \n27  In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. \n28  Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. \n29  They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, \n30  slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; \n31  they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. \n32  Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. \n\n\nNIV Romans 13:13  Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. \n\n\nNIV 1 Corinthians 5:9  I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people-- \n\n\nNIV 1 Corinthians 5:11  But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. \n\n\nNIV 1 Corinthians 6:9-11\n9  Do you not know that the wicked w
