    Sex on your wedding night? Sounds like lust. Why not wait even longer?

    Just like the guy, I had a boyfriend who was like that. I told him in the beginning of our relationship no sex allowed. I was with him for three years. He hated the fact that I wouldn’t give him sex without us being married. He didn’t understand Christianity since he was a Catholic. So, he broke up with me over the phone. I was hurt but at the same time I was glad because in the end, I was able to still keep my virginity. I’m glad to still have it at almost 42 years old. Can you believe that? I guess sex can be beautiful but it’s really beautiful when you are married on that special night.

    Someone claiming the name of Christ while knowingly encouraging fornication is a legitimate reason to be concerned about the state of that person's soul. Not because those sins are too sinful to be covered by Christ's atonement (they aren't), but because conscious rebellion against/disregard of the clear biblical teaching against sexual immorality is enough to call into question whether someone really has put faith in Christ and been regenerated by the Spirit. It could be that they are saved and just an immature believer, but it could also be that they are not even saved. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the *sexually immoral*, nor idolaters, nor *adulterers* ... will inherit the kingdom of God.

    My question would be, why let the compelling force that's driving you to get married to be what gets you married in the first place, this is got to be the most ridiculous thing to believe, to get married only to justify having sex and getting married is the only way to do it, BIG mistake for the majority, only to find out later that what they done can't be undone, having two people live together that hate each other or are just unhappy in their marriage, it's a damn if you do and damned if you don't situation, what your NOT being told is what happens when the LOVE grows cold and it DOES with most, then disaster comes when the two are irresponsible for their actions, the bible is clearly against this which is why being betrothed eliminated that possibility for most, it's too apparent from the Song of Solomon these two are NOT married and DON'T live with each other and they are all over each other, people that don't understand the purpose of being betrothed are to blame for this, a lack of knowledge, if betrothed, there was a way out, if married, there's NO way out, according to Jesus, just people with their excuses making the law have no effect or being useless, and fornication is Not something the married commit, it's what the unmarried or betrothed person commits, which is cheating on the person you intend on marrying, if you were married, you didn't need a divorce, that person was as good as dead by their law, the apostles didn't deal with adultery because at that time every country knew what adultery was and had laws concerning it, what a country can't do is make a law that can control the sex lives of people that are not married, it could not be enforced, which is why STD'S are so dangerous, back then, one would have more than likely killed you, having no laws to protect someone from another person giving you a STD is the problem and if your looking to nature how these diseases spread, look no further beyond the unfaithful or possibly needles spreading it, there is NO judgement on the faithful only the unfaithful, the disease doesn't just appear from out of nowhere

    logistically and mathematically not everyone can marry. also, not everyone is suited for marriage. yet, god hardwired all for sex, made it intensely pleasurable, and mentally and physically beneficial, not just for married couples, but for all. if one believes god loves all equally, why is god prejudiced against and why does god discriminate against the unmarried? there is absolutely nothing immoral about unmarried people having consensual sex. the term pre marital should not exist, for sex or anything else, for the reasons i cited above. while being married is indeed a life event it does not grant you special access to things unmarried people are restricted from. seriously, if one does not marry are they supposed to die a virgin? get over yourselves. you got married, you did not split the atom

    Lets try this again, the bible doesn't call it a sin, men call it sin, the bible clearly doesn't condemn it, what the bible does condemn about sexual relations is easily found in the law of Moses and no where in his law are two adults having sex with each other that's not man on man or incest or adultery or rape, maybe some others but never a single male adult and a single female adult, stop using the laws that apply to children to judge people that are smarter than yourself, don't fall for this marriage trap either from videos like this, a trap it is and one you cannot get out of unless your partner breaks one of these laws Moses commanded that applied to sexual relations, any other cause and Jesus will not justify you, the bible says marriage is honorable by all, not commanded to all nor is it something that all respect, adulterers certainly don't and the whore doesn't either, just be faithful to whomever your with, it's not till death do you part nor are you making a vow to God that so many break not realizing the bible says, if you make a vow to God and don't do it, He will call it sin in you, I'm just saying, don't get married unless you absolutely have to, what their not telling you is all those feelings you have towards that person you love, don't last, what you make together with that person you love, you will be held responsible for it, also don't rely on the errors the KJV translators made with this word wife, go to the old testament as your source, it's more accurate and better understood, it would also help to get some understanding of Hebrew and Greek if you really want to know the truth
