Does Christian allow fornication before a legal (religiously) marriage?

Question

ive always been confused.

Answer 1

Many who have succumbed to pressure to engage in illicit s*x  before marriage agree that there is compelling reason not to do so.

Among the undesired results may be a sense of degradation, a troubled conscience, jealousies, pregnancy, and sexually transmitted disease.

Just as the Scriptures remind us, a person who practices fornication is “sinning against his own body.”—1 Corinthians 5:9-12; 6:18; Proverbs 6:23-29, 32.

What about premarital s*x? That too is against the moral standards set out by Jehovah. “This is what God wills . . . that you abstain from fornication,” says the Bible. (1 Thessalonians 4:3)

Homosexuality, incest, and bestiality are also sins against God. (Leviticus 18:6, 23; Romans 1:26, 27) Anyone wanting to please God and enjoy a truly happy life must keep away from immoral practices.

What about premarital passion-arousing sexual behavior? This practice displeases Jehovah. (Galatians 5:19) The mind must also be kept clean of immoral thoughts.

Jesus said: “Everyone that keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28) Those words apply equally to viewing pornographic images on paper, a screen, or the Internet; to reading accounts of sexual activities; and to listening to suggestive lyrics of songs. Avoiding such material pleases God and has an upbuilding influence on one’s life.

Answer 2

No it is a sin.  God does forgive sin but there are always consequences to sin.  God created s*x for marriage!  When we take God's gift and miss use it we have been lead astray.

Answer 3

The Bible calls fornication a sin. Fornication covers many different sexual sins, including s*x before marriage with another unmarried person. We can not use the excuse that it isn't possible to be legally married- or religiously married, if you prefer.

Answer 4

Religiously speaking, no.  However, it does advocate forgiveness of such an action which it considers to be a sin.

I think it's nonsense, myself.

Answer 5

Marriage is about love not religion....Adam and Eve had no certificate...

If ppl stay together God considers them married...But we should marry within a year imo....diamonds, romance all that and for insurance etc..

Answer 6

christians don't control people.  If the fornicators belong to a good church, the pastor will tell them that it is sin and they should get married.  The church will not stone them to death if they do not listen.

Answer 7

No.  Fornication is a sin - I'm an atheist and I know that.

I just happen to give a big thumbs up to that sin...

Answer 8

This question needs to read:

Does Christ allow.....?

The answer is, no.

No need to be confused any longer.

Answer 9

If and when a Jehovah's Witness wants to date, they have marriage in mind. They date only with a chaperon, and no sexual acts before marriage.

Answer 10

No.

But they do it anyway.
