Why is it a sin to have sex before you get married? I mean I know it's suppose to be a sacred show of love, but it also is suppose to be pleaserable. I mean if it's a sin to do it before you get married, then alot of people are gonna go to hell. Can you help me with this, I don't understand.
It would help to know how old you are,
or why this is an issue in your life. Just
the same, premarital sex is a lapse, not
a sin that will take you to hell. I think
murder, abortion, deliberate cruelty,
libel/slander and a lot of other things
are bigger sins than premarital sex.
In God's plan, sex and marriage go
together. I do believe there's no
substitute for a happy marriage, and
that would include a meaningful sex
life. Real marriage succeeds when
there is intimacy on every level: you
can share emotional stuff, intellectual
stuff, etc.
Sometimes, when you lead with your
groin, true intimacy gets lost. You can
have sex with someone, it can be great,
and you can wake up one day realizing
that you never knew what was in that
person's mind or heart. Because the
sex relationship became the end.
Does that help? |

Well, I'm the grandson of a Baptist minister, so I have had a very strong Christian influence my whole life. Here are my thoughts on premarital sex:
I agree that it is a good idea to have sex with someone before you marry them, in order to make sure the 2 of you are sexually compatible. A marraige in which the sex is always bad isn't going to be very good at all. I mean, would you buy a car without test-driving it? (sorry if that's a bad comparison; my dad's a mechanic)
I don't think that God has much of a problem with pre-marital sex. What I believe God does have a problem with is promiscuity -- sleeping around with everybody. Being promiscuous puts a person at risk for diseases and cheapens sex from what it's intended to be (something great shared by 2 people in love with each other) to being just a cheap means of pleasure you can do with anybody. (although to some people cheap, easy pleasure is a good thing! but I don't think sleeping around is a good way to get it)
So in my opinion, the key is love. If you're just having sex and don't love the person you're having it with, I think that's a sin, but if you do love that person, I think it's okay, whether you're married or not.
And no, I don't think masturbation is a sin. If you masturbate, you're not hurting anybody else, and you're not hurting yourself or putting yourself at risk, so I don't see how that could be a sin.
We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. -Tyler Durden, "Fight Club" |

This all really does help. So answer this. This is a senario. Lets say I have dated a girl for about 2 maybe 3 years. We've never had sex. Then we start thinking of engagment, and marriage. Should we have sex with then get engaged, or get engaged and then have sex. Some people say that you can go to hell for premarital sex. Also I heard it's a sin to jack off, is that true, and it's a serious question.
Two or three years is long enough to
know how much you mean to each other..
If sex proceeds out of your committed
relationship, I think it's immaterial just
when the official engagement occurs.
Someone told you that premarital sex
will take you to hell, and it made a big
impression on you. Breaking faith
with someone who depends on you is
worse. Leaving a woman alone with
your baby is worse. Date rape is worse.
If you can remember it's not just you,
you're prepared for the consequences,
and you genuinely care for the other
person, you'll be OK. For the record,
any of the above are worse than
"jacking off" if that is what I think it is. |
