All unrighteousness is Sin. God inspired man to write the Scripture for man to follow. Why would you avoid the question? Is it righteous to go against the will of God? Moses directly went against that "law" 3 times according to scripture... And one of results of Moses sin was that he would not be allowed into the promised land and, at the end of the 40 years in the desert, After Moses and his whole generation passed, the chosen nation entered the promise land. But like many, his heart was for God which is really what God is looking for. No one on this earth is sinless except one man who was God himself made into man. msharmony's description is a good one. It has made me more convinced that 'Knowing' a woman really constitutes commitment in Gods eyes. How many of you have 'Known' another and walked away without a permanent connection with that person. (Assuming you were not altered to the point of no memory). |

Another result of Moses' sin is that we have at least 3 laws which are not God's laws. I bet there's a lot more than that too. Sacrifices, circumcision, divorce. *edited to add the 3 laws |

Its in the bible, Be fruitful & multiply, so I think sex is 4 procreation & pleasure
|
|
|
|
I think too that sex is designed to create life(natrual heterosexual sex that is)
I also think that marriage was a way to not just be 'fruitful' , but to not be consumed in lust for others throughout ones lifetime, to have but ONE that we commit our body to,,,,, |

Here is a question for y'all, don't know if anyone has ask. What makes a couple married? After all just because the court or a preacher joins you does not mean God has join you. What if you and your love is stranded on an island with no one to wed y'all?
OT talked about the ceremony but it was sex in the bed chamber that consummate the marriage and Paul clearly states his opinion on alot of sex and relationship. The only direct commandment I found was in Genesis 2:24. The man will leave his parents and "be join, stick, cling" to his wife. It is something I've been thinking about as I did a study on marriage and sex in the bible. |

Sure will. Would cure horny. Sadly this isn't true. When we indulge our fantasies, we satisfy them only for a short time, but what we really do is feed the desire more. Then at some time in our life we wish for more control over those desires, the work is multiplied by how long and how much we fed the desire. So it if vital we chose to desire things that are good for us and let them multiply in our lives instead of bad things which deteriorate us. Good luck with that. |

Don't understand why some say that it is not really mentioned in the Bible? Look up the definition of Fornication.

Question: "What does the Bible say about sex before marriage?" Answer: There is no Hebrew or Greek word used in the Bible that precisely refers to sex before marriage. The Bible undeniably condemns adultery and sexual immorality, but is sex before marriage considered sexually immoral? According to 1 Corinthians 7:2, “yes” is the clear answer: “But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.” In this verse, Paul states that marriage is the “cure” for sexual immorality. First Corinthians 7:2 is essentially saying that, because people cannot control themselves and so many are having immoral sex outside of marriage, people should get married. Then they can fulfill their passions in a moral way. Since 1 Corinthians 7:2 clearly includes sex before marriage in the definition of sexual immorality, all of the Bible verses that condemn sexual immorality as being sinful also condemn sex before marriage as sinful. Sex before marriage is included in the biblical definition of sexual immorality. There are numerous Scriptures that declare sex before marriage to be a sin (Acts 15:20; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13, 18; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). The Bible promotes complete abstinence before marriage. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations of which God approves (Hebrews 13:4). Far too often we focus on the “recreation” aspect of sex without recognizing that there is another aspect—procreation. Sex within marriage is pleasurable, and God designed it that way. God wants men and women to enjoy sexual activity within the confines of marriage. Song of Solomon and several other Bible passages (such as Proverbs 5:19) clearly describe the pleasure of sex. However, the couple must understand that God’s intent for sex includes producing children. Thus, for a couple to engage in sex before marriage is doubly wrong—they are enjoying pleasures not intended for them, and they are taking a chance of creating a human life outside of the family structure God intended for every child. While practicality does not determine right from wrong, if the Bible's message on sex before marriage were obeyed, there would be far fewer sexually transmitted diseases, far fewer abortions, far fewer unwed mothers and unwanted pregnancies, and far fewer children growing up without both parents in their lives. Abstinence is God’s only policy when it comes to sex before marriage. Abstinence saves lives, protects babies, gives sexual relations the proper value, and, most importantly, honors God. http://www.gotquestions.org/sex-before-marriage.html |
