Sex Before Marriage

Lavindathar · 02-01-2002, 03:36 PM

I'm in a heated argument:

Does the bible say either

i) if you have sex you are married in the eyes of god? (my friends opinion, who IS religious)

or

ii)you shouldnt have sex until your married (my opinion, not really religious)

and what are your opinions!!??

I think it's up to each individual..
The rest of the wrold really doesn't have anything to do with my sexual life..

pointless. I don't let a 2000-year old novel with poor scripting dictate my sex life either

Lavindathar · 02-01-2002, 03:53 PM

But what does the bible say?

I don't know, probarbly gonna be difficult to say, because the bible contradicts itself in every statement

I think that most current Western liberal Christian faiths have softened their stances to reflect current social attitudes.

Whereas, say fifty years ago there would have been an absolute condemnation of sex before marriage, nowadays, the clergy only tend to get upset if it delays the ceremony [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

i'm not entirely sure the bible entirely condemns it anyway - isn't that coveting thy neighbour's wife?

Not having sex before marriage would be rather difficult for one who didn't believe in marriage! *laughs* Everyone has their own opinions, as well as beliefs, and who's to say who,s right and who's wrong?

Ok, but could someone who knows the text give me their best statement that they can?

Soz for being a nag, but I don't want to go into this religious stuff myself. Just an answer!!
