Are all sexual relations considered a sin if performed before marriage?

Yes. Premarital sexual activity is Premarital sexual activity.

Over the last few decades, all over the world, perceptions have changed with regard to fidelity in marriage. Some married people believe that there is nothing wrong with an affair, a modern euphemism for adultery, especially if the other partner knows of and accepts it.

“The world has virtually abandoned any serious attempt to live by a moral code. Chaste conduct has come to be viewed as old-fashioned.” Prominent political, sports, and entertainment personalities openly violate the Bible’s standards of moral conduct, and such people continue to be lionized. There is virtually no stigma attached to any type of moral wrongdoing or perversion. Chastity and integrity have seldom been valued in so-called high society. Then, on the principle of ‘what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,’ the masses follow that example and condone what God condemns. It is as Paul expressed it: “Having come to be past all moral sense, they gave themselves over to loose conduct to work uncleanness of every sort with greediness.”

God’s standards have not changed. It is his position that cohabiting without the benefit of marriage is living in fornication. Infidelity in marriage is still adultery. The apostle Paul stated clearly: “What! Do you not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.

On the other hand, the modern world’s definition of immorality is so diluted that it does not match God’s view. A dictionary defines “immoral” as “contrary to established morality.” Today’s “established morality,” which condones premarital and extramarital sex as well as homosexuality, is what the Bible condemns as immorality. Yes, from the Biblical viewpoint, immorality is gross infringement of God’s moral code. 1 Corinthians 6:18.

The Bible counsels: “Let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.” (Hebrews 13:4) So, God is against sexual relations outside of marriage. This is consistent with the fact that when providing the first man with a mate, God showed that his will was for the two to become “one flesh,” in a lasting bond of union. Some four thousand years later, God’s Son showed that his Father had not abandoned this standard. Matthew 19:4-6

ANY type of orgasm without the specific goal of the orgasm being impregnation is EVIL!

God will strike you blind...

God will make hair grow on your hands...

God will make you sterile!

Oh... wait... then what's up with all the STD's and unwed teenage mothers and The Morey Povitch Show?

Sorry... Unless your god comes down and knocks on my bedroom door in the middle of next weekend's game of "Hand Ball" (Since I don't know of any cute uphimisms for female masturbation) then I'm gonna keep on believeing that what I do is natural and normal...

If god is really all knowing then he is aware of my MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of sins and thousands of dollars in "Adult Purchases" and my multi Gigabite pornography collection... I think that my computer would have burst into flames by now if Porn was really that bad of a sin...

In the least my DVD Burner would have stopped working...

If each episode of Hentai and BDSM porn is it's own sin then my DVD Burner has commited more sin's then Hitler...

You would think that god, the all powerful, would have done something to at least stop me from buying more blank DVD+R's!

Loving someone through sex is beautiful. How can that be wrong? Bodies that are being enjoyed by two lovers is the most divine act on the planet. The angels sing and the stars shine when two lovers unite. Sex without love is not wrong; it just shortchanges us from the full experience of growing love through sexual union.

hold on a minute! if what we do is/are sins then what about animals? insects? etc! we are not the only living things on earth! so animals lick themselves hence what they do while having sex lol they cannot marry, pray, or do the things we do but yes they still mate! so if they can do it we can too! and there is no god up there people! if there was, why is he up there and we aint? why is there bad things going on down here and he's not doing anything to stop it? its aload of bull! hell we only live once so why not enjoy it while we can before we leave?

Sure they are sins and you'll be a social outcast.....about 60 years ago. Sex is a natural instinct like survival. It's nothing to be ashamed about - before or after marriage. It's simply a preference.

Oh you are naughty having bj's and hj's before marriage, ask the priest next time you are ina the confessional its allways good to hear virgins talk about sexual realtions

1 Corinthians 6:13

Food [is intended] for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will finally end [the functions of] both and bring them to nothing. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but [is intended] for the Lord, and the Lord [is intended] for the body to save, sanctify, and raise it again].

All that stuff is bad, if you do that stuff you go to hell.

God created AIDS to kill those who do "evil" sex, and thats not a statement against homosxuality, its a statement against all fornicators and adulterers. However its a shame that those people donate blood and infect innocent good Christians!

i don't think that sex before marriage is a sin. i dont think that sex is a sin at all. actually, i dont even believe in sin. XD.

Yes...and some of them are even a sin after marriage...such as anal and oral sex (oral sex between heterosexuals is considered sodomy). God frowns upon these things....

So, that means you have to watch how you have sex. As an atheist. I don't...

Who gets the better deal??????

EDIT: Hey Randy...check this out...

Sodomy: Noun

1. Anal or oral copulation with a member of the opposite sex.

2. Copulation with a member of the same sex

Now what I don't understand is...if God allows sodomy between heterosexuals, wouldn't it make him a hypocrite to destroy 2 cities (Sodom and Gomorrah) because people were committing the exact same acts of sodomy????

So, either you're mistaken, or your God is a hypocrite.
