Yes, sex before marriage is a sin, and it is termed fornication. Sex is only meant to be enjoyed between a husband and his wife.Is Sex Before Marriage Considered A Sin In The Bible?
Ok, I am a devout atheist and believe God is the biggest lie known to mankind.. Unfortunatly, the girl I am in love with is a Catholic so naturally we run into problems.. I was not a virgin but she was when we had sex.. She started to worry it was a sin and forced me to do some research..

Sex was designed by God to be within the marriage. If you want to lose your virginity, why don't you wait till you get married. Your future spouse would be privileged to help you make that happen. Most Christian men and women would like to marry those who has not lost their virginity yet, and try to keep it until they are married.
My wife married me when she was 28. She never had sex before, never had a boyfriend before, and waited for that special person in her life. When we got married in Sept 2001 and after that, she lost her virginity. For her, it was worth waiting for. And the Lord blessed her indeed. We now have a 20 month old son and, our second son is to be born in Jan 2009.
God would certainly bless you, if you could wait till you are married.
Is sex before marriage okay if you love each other?
No, sex before marriage is sinful even if you love each other. Being in love doesn't alter the reality that the sexual act is outside of marriage, marriage being the ceremonial union of a man and woman in matrimony. Sex outside of marriage is called fornication and the Bible definitely condemns it.
Matt. 15:19-20, ';For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. 20 鈥淭hese are the things which defile the man.';
Acts 15:29, ';...that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well.';
1 Cor. 6:9-10, ';Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.';
Heb. 13:4, ';Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.';
So, very clearly fornication is condemned in scripture and there is no provision for it being acceptable just because someone loves each other. Besides if this couple is so much in love, then why don't they carry out what true love is and marry each other? True love is when you put another person first, not when you take from them. For a man and woman to engage in fornication is to declare that such love for the other person is more self centered, than other centered.
Sex before marriage is always a sin. I had sex before I was married but I look back now and wish that I hadn't. I would advise the two of you to stay faithful to each other. There is alot of disease and things out there if you don't. God bless you both. I wish you both a very happy life.
Marriage happens in the heart and not on a piece of paper, so if you two are already married in your hearts there is no sin in having a physical relationship :)
Marriage as a government institution is basically there so that you can legally bind your finance together with your partner, people can be married on a piece of paper but for all the wrong reasons, in my view being married in your hearts is much more important than whether or not you have a paper to go with it.
I met my partner when I was 15, we had a physical relationship... we also promised God that we will always be together ever since we fell in love, now 6 years on we are still together and have been happily married for 2 years :)
I think the main problem in the modern world is that people give up on relationships too easily and not being married makes it even easier to leave someone, but if you two *know* in your hearts that you will always be together you are married already.
like all things written you can interpret the bible as you like.
some say yes, others say no.
the ten commandments don't mention anything about thou shalt not have sex until thy left ring finger be clothed with gold or silver depending on thy personal taste.
if you think you are in a loving relationship filled with trust and respect then i don't think you could possibly be committing a sin. just because you are unmarried doesn't mean that you shouldn't enjoy being physically as well as emotionally close.
yes
this is the seventh commandment.
7.Do not have sexual relations with anyone other than your spouse. God forbids sex outside of the bounds of marriage.
If you guys decide to practice abstinence right now then plan your wedding then have sexual relations after your vows..trust me ... it only makes it better.
It was in the old testament.
God created woman to be man`s helper.
He gave her to man in marriage.
As a bonus, God created the intimacy of sex as
a way for man and woman to bond.
The ceremony is to show the world that the two of you
are united as one.
Since Jesus died for our sins and we are forgiven, then no it is not.
God knows your heart and if you both love, respect each other and
will marry, God knows.
Sex before marriage has traditionally been enforced upon women. The reason? In order to ensure an heir, bloodline, etc, the girl must be a virgin ( younger the better) and then become pregnant asap...
No one really seemed to care too much what unmarried men did..or for that fact still do.
Yes, it is a sin, but if you and your 'wife' will hurry and marry, and repent from your sins and rededicate your lives to Him, He will forgive you and cleanse you. Otherwize you are still fornicating.
Sex before marriage is the sin of fornication. Just as Christ is the bridegroom and the Church is the bride, so are we to only share our passion with the one to whom we are wed.
According to the Bible, yeah.
But, if you've known this girl for a while, there's no problem with having sex with her, really, it's just a human urge.
You'd try out a car before buying it, wouldn't you? Marriage is an expensive contract. What if you two aren't sexually compatible?
they made it a sin because they didn't have birth control and keeping the family unit in tact was important then, just as it is now except we have other family planning methods.
Yes it is, some say this is why God created STD's. To prevent or punish those who commit the sin.
Yes, it is.
YES
yes it is. its called fornacation
Heck yes Look in Exodus 20.
yes it is
I hear that it is. We all fall short.
Yup. Got to love religion. Makes everyone miserable.
Of Course not. Enjoy all things of Sense and Rapture, no God will deny you for this!
not if you stay with her forever, and marry legally within a year...
