Why I do not believe in sex before marriage
last updated 25 April 2005



Sex was created by God as something special between a man and a woman. If someone wants their marriage to last it is best if they wait until they are married before the have sex, this will greatly improve the chances of the marriage working.


The dictionary definition of "Fornication" isvoluntary sexual intercourse outside marriage.
"And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lascivousness which they have committed".
This passage implies that we can repent from these things and God will forgive us, it also emphasises the importance of repenting


Wherefore come out from amoung them, and be ye seperate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
