Is premarital sex really a sin? The Bible condemns sexual immorality but not premarital sex. I personally do not believe that premarital sex is a sin. What do you believe?

It all depends. It is a sin if you want to follow a certain religion that doesn't allow sex without marriage. If you have no religion, then how can it be a sin for you?
Wouldn't you say that if someone is without God that the most important thing is that he does accept and believe God? After the person accepts God, then we get into the rules and regulations of our prescribed religion and/or denomination. That is something that a lot of people don't seem to realize. Let us use Jesus as an example to this: He did not go up to known 'sinners' and tell them they are doomed, He taught them and healed them. He instead blasted the people who were already religious and followed their religion (the Pharisees). Sometimes people like the pharisees become so wrapped up in following rules that they forget who they are supposed to worshiping and they forget that it does not make them a better person. I rambled on too long on, forgive me.

I personally don't believe it to be a sin, in accordance with the Bible. There is not enough evidence in the Bible to support monogamous, premarital sex being condemned, IMO.

I feel it's implied not once but throughout the Bible that marriage between a man and woman is sacred and that man and woman are united through that sacred bond. It makes sense to me that God would want a man and woman to wait until they've entered that bond to join as one in the flesh.
So, yes, I personally believe it to be a sin, to have sex before marriage. "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge." Hebrews 13:5 NKJV

Why? Is this view based on Biblical ethics?
