Love,Sex & Marrage.your veiws (for both genders).
Posted : 7 Nov, 2010 06:44 PM

My question is based on an experience i had about 7 years ago.What happened was that me & a girl from my church from my neighbourhood at the time was regularly hanging with a with a couple of unsaved guys in neigbourhood at the time.On one particular night, we were discussing the Bible and then talked about fonication.Me & the girl from church were aguguing that the "Bible did talk about it but there is nothing wrong with having sex before marrage.That way, you will know what to do when your'e married". After this,she was then later had been baptised at church and have "seemed to be changed " at the time.Long story short,she was with a boyfriend at the time before her baptisim & around 3 years later,she returned back to him and which i believe because of his money & his "hot rod car" & went back being the same way she was before.My question concerning this is what is your opinions on this ungodly belief coming into the church? What are your views on fornication? I welcomed any quotaions from the Bible also.:waving:

We are all sinners. If church were just for the perfect, no one would be allowed to attend.



However, as as a follower of Christ, I endeavor to act as He would wish. To do less is to turn my back on His sacrifices to save me



Sex before marriage is quite simply wrong. The idea that a person must have sex to see if the marriage will work is ludicrous. This is something that needs to be saved for one special person and cherished, not used as a litmus test.



So, there you have my beliefs. Blessings in your quest for knowledge.

My opinion on "fornication" :

I do not think it is right to discriminate against foreigners unless they in a country illegally .

Ok, Im sorry :rolleyes:

It is odd that in the english new testament fornication is not "directly" addressed as such. If you wish to do a study on the subject you will need to go to the passages that speak of adultery sexually impurity and sexual immorality then look up the key words in strongs concordence. ( I looked them all up once and could find no loop holes! :excited:) You will find many times the key word includes as its meaning" fornication" It is spoken of directly in the old testament ; basically if you get caught you have to pay off the father, marry her and are never allowed to divorce her. ( Deut 22:28-29)

Well it isn't premarital sex if you never intend to marry them, right?

Just kidding. Please don't take that as seriously at all. By allowing for divorce in the case of adultery, God is strongly implying that sex is only for married couples. Is premarital sex unforgivable? Absolutely not. In Christ we are all new creations. However, sex is as it was meant to be only between married couples.

As for why the bible isn't explicit in talking about premarital sex, kids got married so much younger in those days that adultery was a much bigger concern. The principle still applies. The application just looks different for unmarried couples.

Thankyou all! Another reason i want to share with everone is that why i also give this title to this post is that it seems that most of the youths in church between the ages of 09-15 have been raise up in thinking through the media, slow jams music,books (advice on sex & romance novels ) , magazines,newspaper articles & motion pictures that having sex before marrage is the right way of showing how much love you have for the other person. By the they reach 16 ,they have probly already have lost their virginity!(p.s,i did not research or study this theory so i'm just averaging).I definetly believe there is an importance to learn the church youths importance of waiting since iknow that this can be very hard as i should know since i'm a virgin myself!(aw man did i just put that out there? I hope that no girls out there will start to message me for waht i've just said).:laugh:

I would absolutely not wait to talk to them. My mom gave me "the talk" when I was seven years old because my younger brother was asking about her feminine hygiene products. I had no interest in getting "the talk," and it was a horribly scarring day, but a couple weeks later, a 4th grader tried to tell me where babies come from. I told him I already knew, so he stopped telling me.

I don't think a second grader needs a full understanding of everything involved in "being married," but kids are being exposed younger and younger these days. I figure if you explain the basics at 6 or 7, you've got until 12 or so before they stop simply taking you at your word for the whole "only people who are married do it" thing. Then you have to have a more serious talk with them.

Ephesians 5:3-5

3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God�s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person�such a person is an idolater�has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

it does not actually say fornication, but that would be under sexual immorality, now this is not to say that we can't have it in the past, because when we accept Jesus as Lord and savior our old sinful self is gone, but we are to begin anew, born again, and live for Christ, and try to be more like him everyday, we can not expect everyone who comes to a church to be living to this standard, but those who are in the church for a while should seek to be more and more Godly!
