No, I am measuring God by modern decent human standards and I am afraid he does not stack up.

I don't think any god worthy of respect is going to be remotely bothered what you choose to do with another consenting adult. . . .
Essentially, have fun and don't worry about it, but be aware of the emotional, medical and pregnancy risks: try to avoid hurting anyone.

good for you if you are in a happy marriage. Truly, I find it is rare. Even if they do stay together.
As for me I have been unlucky in love, it is true, but I have two amazing children whose lives I'm very much involved with. Basically I've had 2 relationships (outside of highschool) with a child from each one. a boy and a girl.
In the hiatus between those r'ships I've not so much as touched a woman for about 7 years.
My latest childbearer is unfortunately mentally unstable, but on the bright I have full custody and ongoing enjoyment of my 6 year old boy (had him for the last 4 yrs)
So next time you want to take pot shots, there's a bit more for you to work with, eh? 😉

no, you would need to stop it and get married if you wanted to have (according to the
scriptures, that is the Bible) legitimate sexual relationship. As you can see from the
replies so far, all these people have determined for themselves what is moral and what
is not. What is the point of confessing if you are just going to do it again and aga ...[text shortened]... ask
them to demonstrate a justification for their moral stance. we have so far,
its fun.
As opposed to me is my best friend down in Melbourne who always seems to have a girlfriend but not a wife. He seems to stay with them for 2 or 3 years. They are always intelligent, attractive, worldly , not wanting children.
I would say he is lucky in love.
There is no hard fastened rule, and often imposing such a rule (as my sisters failed marriage showed) can often be worst for a marriage.
Take your standards back to the fifties, Robbie, really. I am just happy when two people can get on without arguing. Wouldn't a bit of that be good for everyone (and a bit more enjoyable sex 😉 )?

Does it actually say in the bible that sex before marriage is sinful?
is that for men and women?
also ... when (according to the bible) did marriage become an institution?
Presumablt dam & eve were not married...
you note the text in Genesis it states that God, brought Eve to Adam and gave her
away, even as many Fathers do today. This arrangement of man and wife becoming
'one flesh', set the standard for marraige. The Bible states that both adultery and
fornication (sex out with marraige) are sinful.
