Does the Bible teach that people who never marry can't ever have sex? Isn't that a little bit of a bummer?

That Bible does teach that, it can be a bummer if you aren't married whether you do or don't.  If you do, you feel guilty (at least I do) and if you don't then you are frustrated.  I would rather be frustrated (but, not always).  I am still working on it and as long as I am not seeing someone I am in the clear.

Yes.  The Bible makes it clear that there is no marriage in heaven.  THey're not waiting for you in heaven as your spouse, they're waiting for you as brothers or sisters in Christ.

just dont be gay it forbids it in the bible here are some verses:1) 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10 - Do you not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom. \n\n2) Romans 1:24-27 - Therefore God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them, even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever. That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.\n\n\nand 1 Cor.6:9-10 these are some of the verses i remember. there are a lot more but i forgot them

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.

Numbers 31:17-18 "Now kill all the boys [innocent kids]. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."\n\nIn the Torah (In the Book of Numbers in the Bible), after the conquest of Midian and Moab, and the great venereal plague, Moses (peace be on him) ordered that all the women "who have known a man" be killed but that "all the young girls, who have not known a man by lying with him" be kept alive for the Israelites.\n\nSince the only females left fit for marriage and wholesome relations were prepubescent virgins, a Jewish law concerning child marriage was enacted. That law is found in the Babylonian Talmud: \n\n"Rabbi Joseph said, 'Come and hear. A maiden aged 3 years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition.' \n\nMishnah: A girl of the age of 3 years and a day may be betrothed, subject to her father's approval, by sexual intercourse.\n\nGemara: Our Rabbis taught: 'A girl of the age of 3 years may be betrothed by sexual intercourse.' "

Unfortunately it would seem to me that for the Bibles conception of marriage and how we must behave both parties would need to be of the same mind. In this sick worlf I imagine that more often than not one or the other would take advantage of the other if only one believed the above philosophy. \n\nI have never married. But when I do, I will follow God commandements. I will also make sure my chosen mate lives a life that is pleasing to the Father so we are of a same mind on such issues as these. \n\nIt is sad, but I work in the domestic violence feild and I ahve seen many women taken advantage of and even their pastors use these Bible verses to keep them with their abusers...and sometimes they end up dead. That is not what God intended.

Sex is not a taboo in Christianity. Eve was made to fit Adam just perfectlly - as women are made to fit men today. Certain practices and certain restrictions are mentioned in the bible but those are for the protection and well-being of the people.\nSex is a 'right' of people joined in marriage, to the extent that husbands and wives are taught to not withold sex from each other - unless the practices are unclean and unChristian. It is a part of male-female expression of love and unity.\nREVISED: If someone professes Christianity and has sex out of wedlock - then they are disobeying a very basic law - and in effect they are a hypocrite.

The only way a man can legally have sex (by Biblical standards) is to do it in the institution of marriage. All other sexual encounters outside of marriage is sin. Promiscuous sex is not condoned by God. We have many in this country that are living together, having sex, families, etc. without being married. The Bible clearly defines this activity as an abomination. Sorry, I didn't write the rulebook, but you asked. I am 60 years old, and I have been married to the same woman for 35 years, and have never had sex with anyone else. God's rules work if you let them. I am proud of marriage, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for asking - it allowed me to respond!!

Allah is saying that you can marry the slaves not to have sex with them.Allah  allows sex just between a husband and his wife. \n[4:23] Prohibited to you (for marriage) are: your mothers, daughters, sisters; father's sisters, mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters; foster-mothers (who gave you suck), foster-sisters; your wives' mothers; your step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom ye have gone, no prohibition if ye have not gone in; (those who have been) wives of your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time, except for what is past; for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. \n\n[4:24] Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess: thus hath Allah ordained (prohibitions) against you: except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your property, desiring chastity, not lust. Seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, ye agree mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-Knowing All-Wise. \n\nI hope that I made it clear for you and thank you for asking such an interesting question.

The Bible does say to "marry only in the Lord," but hardly any religions claiming to be Christian follow that command :(

We were created by God, and sex was created by God Who gave us rules to help us use it wisely. He said that sex is only correctly practiced between a husband and a wife. We have rules that govern the way we drive our cars. When they are not followed for whatever reason, they have serious consequences.\n\nSex is beautiful – not evil at all – the only harm comes in how you practice it. Let’s say you have sex with your boyfriend or girlfriend before you are married. When you marry, you want to believe that your husband or wife will not have sex with anyone else, but you’ll always know that they had sex with you when you weren’t married. So the relationship is tarnished in that sense.\n\nYou don’t sound like you believe the Bible, but I do and I’ll share with you what it says very briefly. It says that sexual sin has a different effect than all other sins.\n\nFlee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20\n\nJesus said that sex outside of marriage was so dangerous that we should be afraid of going to hell if we even contemplated doing it.\n\nYou have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. Matthew 5:27-29\n\nGod forgives everything if we ask Him to forgive us and make Him the Lord or boss of our life. If you’ve already made a mistake with sex, He will forgive you if you ask.\n\nIt is impossible to fully comprehend the love of God. All I know is that I’ve made tons of mistakes, and He has never turned His back on me and walked away. I don’t know how big God’s love is. I only know that it is bigger than all the mistakes that I’ve made.\n\nGod bless.

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?

Two virgin sisters would like to have children, so they get their father drunk, have sexual intersourse with him, and get pregnant. (Genesis 19:30-36)\n\nAn old king can no longer get an erection, so a beautiful young girl is put to bed with him. But alas! even she can't get a rise out of him. (1 Kings 1:1-4)\n\nA woman pretends to be a prostitute and entices her father-in-law to have intercourse with her. He does, and lo! nine months later she bears twin boys. (Genesis 38:12-30)

I am not one, but want to address your question:\n\nExodus 20:14  Thou shalt not commit adultery.\n\nLeviticus 20:10  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.\n\nDeuteronomy 5:18  Neither shalt thou commit adultery.\n\nProverbs 6:32  But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.\n\nJeremiah 3:8  And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.\n\nJeremiah 3:9  And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.\n\nJeremiah 5:7  How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.\n\nJeremiah 7:9  Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;\n\nJeremiah 23:14  I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.\n\nJeremiah 29:23  Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.\n\nEzekiel 16:32  But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!\n\nEzekiel 23:37  That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.\n\nHosea 4:2  By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.\n\nHosea 4:13  They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.\n\nHosea 4:14  I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.\n\nMatthew 5:27  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:\n\nMatthew 5:28  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.\n\nMatthew 5:32  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.\n\nMatthew 19:9  And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.\n\nMatthew 19:18  He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,\n\nMark 10:11  And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.\n\nMark 10:12  And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.\n\nMark 10:19  Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness,

Uhh...I think it is not a matter of religion but of a moral standpoint.  I do not believe there is anything anywhere that says "You cannot have sex untill you are married."  Like I said...maybe it was a moral issue in the 1900's.  You know what....I think you are on to something.  If people would wait until they got married to have sex there would be less spread of disease, abortion and teen pregnancy.  Plus...if you get AIDS could you imagine yourself saying that "The sex was WAY worth it!"  lol  Is it really so bad?  Half the time I think it is more fun on my own anyway.  hahahaha
