sex outside of marriage

So my question to all of you is this... As Christians, are we not to wait for marriage before having sex? I have known many men, (not saying it is only men who think this way) who claim to be Christian men but think it is ok to have sex outside of marriage. So with that said what do you think? Here is some scripture to read and then think about....



For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God. ~1Thesalonians 4:3-5~



I know many do not believe this to hold true anymore or they think it is only for the young children and youth but it is true for us adults also! Jesus said He is the same yesterday, today, and forever so why wouldn't His Word hold true even today?

My view is GOD is always right and it better for us is to obey his command with out compromise because he know what is good for us more than we do

Also you might want to add the marriage chapter in Corthinians. 1 Corth. chapter 7:1 clearly states its good for a man NOT to touch a woman... then later it says if he can not control, let him marry. meaning its better to get married right away. It is better than to burn.. meaning burring (lusting) to tempt to have such relationships before marriage that are not clean in eyes of God.



Also it did say it is better for him to marry a woman who is passed her flower.. meaning she cant have anymore babies. Or already older, menopause, things like that because then this way the man will not have his wife to become a baby factory (no offense) which is to get her pregnant so many times and have babies so many times. Why you think we have population out of control these days? Yeah, we should be so strict like the Mayans did. They had the fiance to be located at a corner of their city like Tikal (I visited Tikal and a Mayan with his finace said this location in the corner of the Tikal City is to prepare the bride for six months so she can not get lusted by her own future husband or anybody so she can stay chasite...) And this kept population control (although the Mayans, Aztecans, Icans, OT Biblical Egyptians, and Babylionians had humans killed for their false gods).



My point is that don't touch until you get married. If you can not hold ever since you both clicked, GET MARRIED RIGHT AWAY! Then you have to work at it to KEEP your marriage right with God. I am not saying it is too bad kind of thing but it sounds like that. God is not oh.. I forgive you that you sinned again and again by doing that. NO excuses. Solomon did that once 1000 times too many. And David as well asn Samson. Even Adam, and Jacob. You noticed that in the Bible it seems to be that way?



Read Genesis chapter 24. God told me to read that years ago and I understood why. Now I am going to be happy!! Wooo! Not because of this activity. I have someone special. And I am in control. Thanks to the internet as a wall. Internet is great to block from having sexual actiivities and when I meet her, I am going to have to marry her right away if I am going to be out of control. She would have to feel the same way.

I agree, we need more men with godly morals to be on this website. As godly women and men we must be very careful about who we connect with and ask God for the spirit of decerment.

Sex outside of marriage is a sin. We sometimes try to pick and choose which parts of the bible to believe because we convince ourselves that we will eventually be married and then God will forgive us. We somehow believe that marriage equals repentance but you're only burdening your marriage with past sins and the more partners you had before your marriage the more likely you are to compare your spouse to past partners. That being said lust is powerful and it is a difficult emotion to overcome and many Christians fail to be chaste. The secret is to know the difference between regret and repentance and if you truly repent you will be forgiven.

The intimate physical knowledge of another is the temporal picture of Christ coming in unto his bride and filling her up with himself. How is it that one would ever even consider attaching himself unto a harlot? Unto one whom he is not married? God forbid!



My body is for my Lord. To live and do his will through me. When the time comes that God chooses to lead me, as his temple keeper, to join myself unto another in a physically intimate and awesome display of oneness, she must be my wife. That isn't happening today.

I believe in saving myself for marriage. And I believe in finding a true christian bf/spouse because we'll both be able to help each other spiritually guide each other in the right direction towards Christ.

I have had a non-christian bf and it wasn't a good experience so the relationship didn't last since he didn't respect my beliefs & values.

I believe too in waiting to have sex until after marriage, God wants us to be holy and our body is His and we are ruining it by having sex before. Not all guys are like that, some girls are too. I have a friend and sister who had sex before marriage and got pregnant, my friend didn't get married but my sister did, but my family do not like him. My friend was 18 or 19 when she had her baby and she kept him. These teenagers who keep their babies when they are still babies themselves and who can't afford to even take care of themselves, they won't be able to afford to take care of a baby. Its sad, but their choice. My friend's parents have custody over her son b/c she is struggling by herself
