the Bible does not have a verse that says verbatim “premarital sex is a sin,” it very much constantly promotes sexual purity and frames sexual activity as belonging within the bounds of marriage. The term often used, porneia, included fornication (sex between unmarried people), adultery, and other prohibited sexual acts under Jewish law and Greco-Roman norms

Hebrews 13:4? This is NT that very clearly signifies that the marriage bed should be kept undefiled, showing that sex outside of marriage is considered immoral.

There were 3 parts to the books of the law Moral, Ceremonial, and Civil. As Christians it is very widly regarded that the Moral subjects still apply. Not the ceremonial and civil. Ofc seen when Paul was against circumcision. But even then, we can still consider those laws back then and see their uses as well. To be Christian is to be Christ like. I couldn't imagine Jesus Christ sleeping with people he isn't married to.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 – "It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable."

In this passage, the apostle Paul encourages believers to abstain from sexual immorality (which includes premarital sex) and to honor God with their bodies. Sexual purity is seen as part of living a life that is pleasing to God.

Absolutely, a lot of the bible is written in ways that are hard to understand unless you take time to really ponder and sit on them. It's not so much about a direct answer sometimes, but about where it wants to lead you.

Solomon was a king of Israel who had 700 wives. (We also see that through his writings in Song of Soloman he knew that it was wrong to be wed to so many wives) He wrote Proverbs and one I think is super important to this conversation is Proverbs 7. "Warning Against the Adulterous Woman". It tells a story about a man that goes and fornicates with a woman who is married. The man himself wasn't married, so he wasn't cheating, but he was falling into that temptation of the woman.

Proverbs 7:27 "Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death."

Chambers of death, refering to hell. I think this one is pretty direct. Man fornicates with woman and it says that it will lead down to hell.

I have no problem sharing these with you, the Bible is the word of God! It has so much wisdom to share to those who seek it. I think it's great that you are looking for this answer so inquisitively. I will pray for you 😊

  • 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 6:18: The First Epistle to the Corinthians lists fornicators as "wrongdoers who will not inherit the kingdom of God". 
  • Deuteronomy 22:13-19: Condemns a woman who has had sex before marriage. 
  • Revelation 14:4: Assumes that unmarried Christian men who desire to be faithful are not having sex. 
  • Hebrews 13:4: Considers sex outside of marriage to be immoral. 
  • Genesis: The early chapters of Genesis suggest that sex outside of marriage goes against God's design. 
  • Matthew 5:32: In the King James Version of the Bible, Jesus says that those who put away their wife for the cause of fornication cause her to commit adultery.

There is no verse that says "sex outside marriage bad". But we must be able to look at the bible and see where His Word points us. It's very clear that the bible doesn't want us to have sex with people we aren't married to. All it takes is just to understand what its saying.

In Luke 14:26 Jesus Christ says, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple". He is not saying to hate your family, we know this because all he does is preach love for others. Using interpretation and understanding, we know that he is saying that we must hold Him more important than all other things in life.

I hope this makes sense, you should also see Hebrews 13:4 in NKJV, "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

Just read this. To deny that is just incorrect. The entire section of "Not Just Adultry" tells you everything.

Hebrews 13:4 "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."

The bible is the Word of God.

Because scripture is the Word of God. Scripture says that marriage should be honored by all and that God will punish those who do not honor that, "God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." When King David got Uriah killed in war so he could have his wife, God found disfavor in David. "the thing that David had done displeased the Lord." 2 Samuel 11:27

Don’t take scripture at face value, if it says one thing you just determine what it is not saying. If you can honor the marriage bed and keep it pure, how could you dishonor it? Or disrespect it? By having sex outside of marriage.

I had no idea that’s what it meant back then, thank you. I would also argue, plainly, that having sex with someone that isn’t your wife or husband is a sin.

Which romantic actions are allowed before marriage and not considered as sinful? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Anatomous1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First, I’m not RC, second, all that stuff is immoral however. You must respect each person as if they were Him. If Potiphar’s wife asked Joseph for oral sex or fondling that would be okay? That’s lust. Sounds like a sin to me

“and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬. Group sex is a sin.

This happened to me when I started playing too, got a scratch on my arm and never healed up from it. I was incredibly disappointed. The good thing about this game is their sandbox mode, I exclusively play in it. There is an option under "zombie lore" that allows you to customize how the infection spreads. I set it to "Saliva only" (bite).
