What’s your take on premarital sex

I can't give you a direct Bible quote regarding premarital sex, as this would take me hours to sift through a Bible, however I do know what priests, clergymen, deacons and theologians have taught me regarding this subject.

Premarital sex is wrong because it is a form of adultery, this is written in the 10 commandments. It is considered adultery because sexual promiscuity only belongs in the sanctity and holiness of wedlock. Without being bound to someone through a service of God (marriage), this act is not considered holy, and is simply an act of lust. Furthermore, by having sex outside of marriage you are committing adultery to whoever your future wife may be. Even if you do end up marrying this girl, it is still outside the realm of holiness that God has taught us to follow, and who are we to question what God says to us? Sex has been given to us as a tool to procreate life, and to bind man and woman together in the most intimate of ways. You should not throw this innocence away so lightly.

Having sex outside of marriage also can lead to many unholy issues in one's life such as STD's and unwanted pregnancies.
I have a link here that I would like you to read, it explains this topic in much greater depth than I am able to, and it also has a couple of quotes from the scriptures attached inside of it.
I wish you luck on your journey and always remember to keep God close to your heart.

@goodnice 2.0 I am not wise, I am just a messenger of God. My words and thoughts come from Him.
I hope that you found your answers. If you ask God to enter into your life than he will, that is how I found Him.
The rest will unfold by itself. Always seek the truth, brother!

 

I don't think oral sex makes you lose your virginity. What makes someone lose their virginity is when the penis is inside a vagina. I personally believe that giving or receiving oral sex is illicit when it's done outside of the context of marriage. Inside of a marriage, though, I would say go for it. I would encourage married couples to perform oral sex on each other.

In 1 Corinthians 7 of the Bible, Paul says "But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband". Paul basically said that the only valid outlet for sex is that which is between a husband and wife. You know what Paul doesn't say? "Well, because of this temptation to sexual immorality, men and women should fornicate". No, he says in 1 Corinthians 7 that marriage is the only valid outlet that God approves of. Whoever told you that the Bible doesn't forbid fornication is mistaken.

 

I know what you mean. Sexual temptations can be so intense that it almost feels like masturbation is a compulsion. I think that we as people make marriage more difficult than it needs to be. Men and women need to be taught to have strong character so that they can marry young; like 18 or 19. I'd like to see more young people get married.

In the end, God will make the right person come to your life at the right time. Genesis 25 says that Isaac was 40 years old when he married Rebekah. It's not like Isaac was cursed by God or anything than that. We're no more cursed than he was.

 

See deuteronomy ch. 22, 20-21

 

See the world is full of sin. It also sounds absurd to say that someone can go their whole life without cursing, or stealing or lying. No man is without sin, it is simply your duty to limit these sins to the best of your ability. Gluttony is considered a sin, yet people consume products in excess on a daily basis. I don't believe that all sins carry the same weight, but your goal should be to absolutely limit your masturbation habits to the best of your ability. I hope that you understand my point.

 

So what you're saying is try not to get laid too often?

 

What I am saying is to follow God's teachings on sexuality. Get laid as often as you would like, and enjoy your wife in every way that you want to, as long as you are confined within the sanctity of marriage. Masturbation is always sinful as it is a degradation of your own body, which was created in God's image.

 

I saw this awful but funny meme that said "if God didn't want me to jack my dick raw, he would've gave me arms like a T-Rex".

 

Dude, its hard enough finding a girlfriend let alone a wife.

 

A bit of a flawed argument. If God didn't want you to curse he wouldn't have given you a mouth to speak. God gave us free will and with it, the ability to sin. It is completely YOUR fault if you sin. Every sin ever committed by man has been that mans responsibility. I appreciate the humour behind it, i'm just not sure if you actually believe it or not

 

As it should be.

 

Dude, you know nothing about me. First thing is your wrong assumption that I think sex is "cool". I don't view it that way at all.

 

I don't believe that @Get_It was being aggressive in nature, I believe he was trying to dig deeper into my theology.
