Pre-marital sex?

You should tell her she shouldn't point fingers as there is always pointing back.

I don't personnally agree with pre marital sex,however if you choose to then you choose to.

I'm not religious.

I've read the Bible four times.

My wife was raised Catholic, but is not religious.

We have both cried over the fact that we were not each other's "first". We both wish we could convey to you how deep and meaningful that can be, and what it costs when you give it up carelessly without the commitment of marraige.

Pleasurable, yes. Painful, definitely.

Is it wrong? Yes, by Christian standards. Whether you agree or not, it is still wrong by Christian standards whether you think it is your choice or not.

That also doesn't change whether you go to hell or not. That isn't your choice, only how you react to it.

Myself, I don't know whether it's true or not. I just know how sad my wife and I have been, and we've been married, quite happily and faithfully, for more than a decade. I wish you wise choices, and deep commitments, while warning you against the promises of men with no or low ethics.

Good luck to you and your friend. It seems to me your friend seems to be being careful to save that "one thing" for her husband. Even that can be a very big thing. It's a compromise, but not so compromising as pre-marital coitus.

If you are so devout a catholic as you say you should know that pre-marital sex is a sin called fornication. that pre-marital sex is a selfish act done with the sole end of obtaining inmediate carnal gratification (lust) and is not enclosed withim the sacrament of marriage, where the love of man and woman expresses freely and with the blessing of God in an institution that safeguards the unity of society and was ordered by Christ to be permanent. There is no room for personal opinion, if you want to follow the commandments of Christ as expressed through the Church. If you however decide to maintain your own opinion and do your will instead of God's it seems that this would not describe a devout catholic, but a nominal catholic, at best. A catholic that can't take the body and blood of Christ at the Eucharistic table because of sin, and of course you should know that for a true catholic to be separated from the Body and blood of Chirst is death, spiritual death, it's the worst for a catholic: to be separated from your Savior. In a sense, and fundamentally it is a personal decision, but if you take the decision of having free pre-marital sex then you are simply not living according to God's standards and you will have chosen something else...freely.

Don't be confused, within the Catholic context, pre-marital sex is a mortal sin. period.

Sex is blessed by God and encouraged to be practiced frequently and freely only and only within the sacrament of valid matrimony.

God bless

There's a lot of reptilian urges deep within our DNA that peak in our teens. There is no denying that. Telling someone not to have sex when it is a natural part of life doesn't work either. Basing your existence on a mythical bunch of stories in the bible won't work. So, educate yourselves about sex; use protection to prevent both std's and pregnancy (until you are ready for a baby), and don't do it with every guy that comes along. It's your choice, just make it an educated one....

I'm going to try my best t answer your question. Jesus gives us all free will, but if you, me or anyone really has Jesus in our heart all the way, we don't want to do anything that is against his will for us, the holy ghost within us will teach us all things & convict us of things we shouldn't be doing. That being said, you stated that you know what the Bible says about pre marital sex. It is still your choice,but doing the wrong thing might hinder your spirtual growth & blessings. I have abstained from pre marital sex because I want ALL of what God wants for me. It might feel good for the moment, but if I slipped up...I would feel terrible for a long time.

Talking from the islamic point of view, pre-marital sex is not allowed... pre-marital sex is like cheating on your to-be better half....sex is only allowed after the marriage with your better half only.

Every deed is the personal opinion of the doer... Religion means commitment... You can deny each and every point of the religious scriptures by saying that you have a different opinion... but things dont work that way.

Dont worry .. you will not burn in hell if you have sex... as far as its not a pre-marital sex ;)

peace

Premarital sex is committing fornication which is a sin according to the Bible. You say you are Catholic then how come you have to ask if it is right or wrong? Time to look into your faith by reading God's Word. Start with the book of John and find out for yourself what is right from wrong. As far as going to hell, if you are guilty of one sin you are guilty of them all. Those who do not accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior they are the ones that will go to hell. If you ask Christ to be your savior and repent of your sins you will be forgiven. Your priest cannot do that for you, (it is not in the Bible). If it is not in the Bible it is man made and not necessarily right as you can appreciate. You don't have premarital sex because it is a sin against God.

I agree that it is a personal decision for every person, and I also agree that having premarital sex does not give a person a one-way ticket to Hell. No human being is perfect, nor is he or she expected to be. I think that it's more reasonable to think that every person will be judged by their hearts and not their every action (or at least this is what I believe).

It is not what I think but what the Bible says that matters most.

The Bible says that no fornicators (sex outside of marriage/any type of sex) can inherit the Kingdom of God.

Therefore that means a whole bunch of people will not enter Heaven, but spend eternity in Hell.

The only solution is the love of God demonstrated on the cross where Jesus took the sins of our depravity and nailed them to the cross and put them to death. Through his resurrection, Jesus conquered death and all those who have fornicated amongst other things can now enter the Kingdom of God by repenting of their sins (turning away from sin) and trusting solely and fully in Jesus to save them.

This is the only way to salvation. Repent therefore and be renewed by the Holy Spirit of God!

To me pre marital sex is a choice only you can make and if someone feels they are ready for sex before marrage i say go for it .
