Do you really think that the creator of the universe would waste time worried about what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms?
probably not.
So why are some christians so worried about sex before marriage, and things like that?

Originally posted by generalissimoLooking lustfully generally precedes getting laid, and it is apparently a form of adultery.
what has that got to do with sex before marriage?
From the other passage, Jesus' ideal is for marriages to last, which precludes having other partners, at least after marriage. This implies that Jesus may frown on having multiple partners in general, which greatly limits sex before marriage.

It is part of Paul's Lessons in Marriage in his epistles to the Corinthians. I don't know about you, but I don't think I would take advice on marriage from a single dude who looks like a hobo.
1st Corinthians 7:1-7 states:
Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry. 2 But since there is so much immorality, each man shou ...[text shortened]... re as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.
Conclusion: Whatever you believe, you can find a verse in the bable that backs you. As long as you like. Until you change your belief. Then you can find another verse that back your new belief. In the same bible.

Why some Christians are so worried about sex?
-I honestly don’t know why.
But once a Christian who happened to think that sex is a “sin” tried to explain it to me: I don’t remember her words but, if I remember correctly, what she said was vaguely along the lines;
“Having sex is having extreme physical pleasure and that is a ‘sin’ because life should be all about suffering and we should be perpetually suffering” …or words vaguely along those lines.
I wanted to ask but I didn’t get around to asking here why “life should be all about suffering” (that was because she DIED the very next day!!!) -sounds to me we are not allowed to have any REAL fun at all 🙁
Can anyone explain to me why she probably thought “life should be all about suffering”?

Originally posted by chappy1It's perfectly reasonable to be in a loving and committed relationship outside of marriage. So I suppose you are not against pre-marital sex then?

Originally posted by darvlayNo. God created sex to be experienced within a loving committed relationship and the way you declare your committment is through marriage. If you aren't married then how committed are you really? Not very because at the drop of the hat you could split. In a marriage you are legally and spiritually bound to your spouse. There's a big difference there.
