A used car is hard to sell.

What culture would that be? Used car is not hard to sell BTW.

I think the thou shalt not commit adultery one covers the base fairly well. Assuming you define adultery as sexual relations with anyone other than your wife/husband, that is.[/b]

Most definitions I've seen seem to require one or both partners to be married (to someone else).
Maybe someone more familiar with the Bible could point out where premarital sex is forbidden.

I would be happy to...

"Ephesians 5:3
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people."

EDIT: Oh here is another regarding adultery...

"Matthew 5:28"
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

So not only is pre-marital sex forbidden, but even looking at a woman in an impure way is sinful.

that verse doesn't forbid premarital sex, but suggests sexual immorality is improper.

If you are going to reference that you also have to show where premarital sex is defined as sexual immorality.

Anyone means everyone, so married people can not look at their wife lustfully? an engaged person can not? If there is a list of exclusions, where do you draw from to define that list?

 

i like sex.

Well considering God made sex for a married man and woman to enjoy, it wouldn't be a sin. But you have to think about what lust is. A married couple must obviously be in love for them to have gotten married, and love and lust are not the same thing.

And the line is drawn within the confides of a biblical marriage...

Also... if looking at a woman in an immoral way is a sin, then sleeping with her before marriage is obviously also a sin.

I like this one

1 Corinthians 7:2
Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

I'm looking for biblical references, but reg. your example, you're right, lust is not love, but a marriage without lust could be considered very unfortunate.

Truth is that the word "forbid", muchless "allow" isn't ever used in the new testament (according to niv).

You should know tho, Christianity isn't about laws. 😉

 

[skace]

Well the Catholic religion doesn't really forbid anything, since you can repent for any sin. Lucky this isn't the middle ages where you had to buy forgiveness, its free these days.

Why does it matter if the exact words forbid and allow are used?

And however sarcastic you may be attempting to be, Christianity isn't about laws to a certain extent. There is a set path of righteousness, you either choose to follow it or you don't... it's that simple

Imo this refers to people who are already married, referencing immorality when a husband is with someone else etc. How about engaged couples having sex, they aren't contradicting one man/one woman? This verse couldn't be used to prohibit that at all.

Ahh this has been thought by many people. Although I am not a Catholic, I still can shed some light on this philosophy. If you are truely a Christian, you will not want to go around sinning just because you know you will be forigivin. God rewards you in Heaven for following his commands, and that is motivation enough for me. Salvation most certainly is not a license to sin...

OK, Thanks!

I think the vast majority of people think that premarital sex is covered by the 7th Commandment, but I don't think it originally had to do with premarital sex at all.

Well, the idea is that God has one person planned to be your spouse. And until you actually enter a biblical marriage relationship, sex is still a sin.

Have you never seen an engaged couple break up before they are actually married?

I'd disagree, isn't about laws AT ALL. Beyond that tho you haven't shown biblical references where premarital sex is referenced as forbidden, muchless a sin and is not on such proscribed path of righteousness.

Woa wtf? You sure God rewards you in Heaven? Did you get a trial run through the system and came back to report on it?

No, Christianity doesn't forbid it. It's just highly frowned upon. 😉

Christianty, and if you really think about it and look into the reason....aside from the fact that it is against gods law. It makes so much sense for those who seek marragie in the future....

Did not see your post: but this is always a factor with christans reasons (not 100% into it...but a very large role in the 'law')

Originally posted by: DainBramaged
Regardless of whether or not it is strictly forbidden by any religion, I think that not engaging in pre-marital sex it is one of the best presents
you could give to your future spouse.

It is a belief and he can believe what he wants. A lot of people believe it also. Does that make it right or wrong? It is just a belief they have.
