What came first - consummate marriage, or sex?Posted : 3 Jul, 2012 08:12 PM@SOS4EMAILFRIEND: I can see that, thanks! My understanding of these verses in their immediate context is that Paul is coming to a point where he can say not just to flee from sexual immorality, but also reason why. I'm not sure that I'm focussing on prostitution being involved to make this case, though - sorry, I could have made that clearer in my first post - but on using the reasoning that Paul uses. What I proposed might be just as applicable for any two people, prostitute or no, Christian or no. |

What came first - consummate marriage, or sex?Posted : 3 Jul, 2012 11:32 PMConsummate marriage comes first. Pre-marital sex just isn't moral! However,its a different case if one committed that before knowimg christ or fell into the fleshly desire for once. God does forgive which again doesnt mean we keep on committing sin in the name of forgiveness and repentance. |

What came first - consummate marriage, or sex?Posted : 5 Jul, 2012 04:10 PM@CuriousAisha: I can see where you're coming from, and how I agree that we are not saved to go on sinning (Romans 6)! My question isn't about whether pre-marital sex is a good or bad thing, but whether sex in itself entails marriage. |

What came first - consummate marriage, or sex?Posted : 5 Jul, 2012 04:32 PMIn the traditions of the Hebrew~Israel~Jew...a couple was betrowed...most often a Older man to Younger women...refer to all scripture of Josheph and Mary...the young women/girl usually aged 11-12yrs was already in or to be in the Temple for 1yr before the Actual Marriage Ceremony takes place...Marriage 1st...then Consumation (sex)...the sheet to show fourth blood to verify she is virgin and pure...Hope this helps ya...xo |

What came first - consummate marriage, or sex?Posted : 6 Jul, 2012 03:31 AMYes! It does. I thought the question was what came first? For which I answered consummate marriage and yes sex in itself entails marriage. Its a very important part of a wedded life I think. |

What came first - consummate marriage, or sex?Posted : 6 Jul, 2012 01:05 PMI think he was asking: If you have sex without being married first, are you actually married in the eyes of God after you have had sex? |
