Where in the bible does it say dont have s*x before marriage?

Question

i would like to know . if its not in their where did ppl get the idea from?

Answer 1

honestly i don't really care if the bible says that you can't have s*x before marriage because i would rather govern my own life than have to follow the rules in an ancient book. and don't get me wrong I'm actually christian and all but i think god is there to help you not control you...

Answer 2

s*x before marriage is called fornication or sexual immorality:

See: John 8:41; Acts 21:25; 1 Corinthians 6:13,18;7:2; Ephesians 4:3; Galatians 5:19.

Answer 3

It's called fornication. Here is a sampling...

Act 15:20   But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood.

1Cr 6:18   Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

1Cr 10:8   Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Answer 4

You'll get a lot of answers about this, citing chapter and verse--in English--but keep in mind that not all words translate exactly from the ancient texts.  Thus, we tend to put our own judgments and shades of meaning on some subjects which weren't necessarily there in the original language.

For instance, our concept of marriage as being a ceremony held in a church is pretty much a post industrial revolution idea.  Before the 1800s, marriages were civil matters.  By the time the couple came to the church, it was a done deal.  The marriage was announced in church simply because it was the most public place to do so.  It ensured witnesses so that if there were any children resulting from that marriage, there would be no question as to their legitimacy.

Christians aren't called to slavish obedience to rules.  Christ Himself criticised the Pharisees for that.  Rather, we are called to be responsible, and s*x before marriage is a matter of logic, not morals.  As women are vulnerable if they have children, there must be some sort of security provision for them, for otherwise they would not be equal to men--this is very much in keeping with Christ's teachings.

Also consider His reply when a woman was caught "in the act" of adultery [or so it ws alleged].  He didn't condemn her, but asked her accusers who would like to throw the first stone.  In the end, the woman was forgiven, and all her accusers who had drifted away had a few things to think about.  Scripture doesn't record what Y'shua wrote in the sand, but it was probably the Ten Commandments.

Answer 5

It says it right here:

If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife. If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must still pay the bride-price for virgins.Exodus 22:16-17

If a man takes a wife and, after lying with her, dislikes her and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity," then the girl's father and mother shall bring proof that she was a virgin to the town elders at the gate. The girl's father will say to the elders, "I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. Now he has slandered her and said, 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, and the elders shall take the man and punish him. They shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the girl's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives. If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you. Deuteronomy 22:13-21

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. 2 Corinthians 11:2

Now I say to those who aren't married and to widows it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am. But if they can't control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It's better to marry than to burn with lust. 1 Corinthians 7:8-9

Answer 6

In many places. That doesnt mean you should listen to it though.

Here is an article explaining why.

http://www.exposingchristianity.com/Sexu...

The Christian Church has done everything in its power to suppress and control sexuality- the life/creative force that liberates the kundalini and is a direct threat to their agenda for enslaving humanity. This power source available to the common people, had to be shut down in any and every way possible. Kundalini liberates the soul and also opens up the psyche. The xian church has done everything in its power to keep us from communicating with beings such as Satan and his Demons, and deliberately cut us all off from any knowledge and power. This keeps us all in the dark, and cut us off from our True Creator God.

The sexual suppression creates an imbalance in the base and second chakras which bleeds over into the emotional level (chakra) this extends to the next chakra and from here, we have a further imbalance, creating fear and guilt, and other emotional and psychological disorders. Because of the cut-off, there is no outlet and humanity degenerates spiritually from generation to generation. Each generation has been indoctrinated and conditioned to view sexuality in the Judeo/Christian/Muslim way. Those of us who are completely free from this influence are few. Sexuality= Life, liberation and spiritual advancement. The Church knows this and has denied the general population this knowledge for centuries.

Now, when I mention "the Church" I am referring to those on top, not the average pedophile priest or minister. The Catholic priesthood is a prime example of the level of indoctrination, ignorance, and stupidity all the way down the line- blind obedience. The child raping and molestations are chief illustrations of what occurs when one consciously suppresses the powerful s*x drive, which is the life force, itself.

Because of the suppression of this knowledge, humanity is operating at 1/5th-1/10th of the total potential. The energy centers remain closed and dormant, cutting the world off from other dimensions, blocking spiritual, mental, emotional and physical potential, in order to keep power in the hands of a "chosen" few.

All of this is the use of black magick at the top levels that has been handed down through the centuries. The new age movement teaches helplessness and a taboo on the black arts to ensure this power only remains in the hands of a few as they can no longer suppress the knowledge of it in today's climate of communication- again, fear is used. The new agers who dabble in magick are also imbalanced. The Ancient Egyptians knew that to be adept, one must be versed in both the white and black aspects of magick. Black magick is suppressed and controlled by the few in power at the top who make liberal use of it. The average person is not only ignorant to this fact, but helpless against it.

The denigration and exclusion of women in RHP religions is also for a specific purpose. As Thoth stated, everything comes in two's for balance and harmony. Two is the creative force. The female energy within us all includes the subconscious and the psyche. The female aspect connects us to the higher dimensions of the mind in balance to the male logical side of the brain. The two ideally, should work together in harmony.

Suppressing this female energy is fundamental to the enemy agenda. Once this feminine energy is suppressed, the intuition and higher consciousness are switched off and become dominated by the lower consciousness. The chakras below the heart, which is the switch off point and connector of the seven chakras, remain disconnected and a serious imbalance results. The Church and its controlling cohorts are well aware of the imbalance that occurs when this female energy is cut off. The chakras all work together.

Answer 8

Heb 13:4  Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Rom 1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Rom 1:29  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Rom 1:30  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31  Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Rom 1:32  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

1Co 7:2  Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

1Co 6:18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Why worry about some old book written by a bunch of drunks?

You try out a car before you buy it, don't you?

Answer 11

Proverbs 5

15 Drink water from your own cistern,

       running water from your own well.

16 Should your springs overflow in the streets,

       your streams of water in the public squares?

17 Let them be yours alone,

       never to be shared with strangers.

18 May your fountain be blessed,

       and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19 A loving doe, a graceful deer—

       may her b*****s satisfy you always,

       may you ever be captivated by her love.

20 Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress?

       Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife?

21 For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD,

       and he examines all his paths.

22 The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him;

       the cords of his sin hold him fast.

23 He will die for lack of discipline,

       led astray by his own great folly.

Answer 12

It's in there.  Sunshine provided it.  Fornication is premarital s*x.

Answer 13

go to www.bible.com or the like and do a search for fornication... it is considered sexual immorality which is a sin...

Answer 14

The same place where they come up with the 1001 things God tells them is wrong about your life. I always found it funny how this God depends so much on a species that barely uses 10% of it's brain to get all it's answers "from." Their God much be so retarded it can't think for itself.
