Is premarital sex a sin?
Is premarital sex a sin? I don't believe so. The Bible condemns sexual immorality but not premarital sex. Some have argued that the Bible condemns fornication which is sex between unmarried persons. However, modern Bible translations translate fornication as sexual immorality. Is premarital sex really a sin? I don't and can't believe so. What do you believe?

Its not a sin so as long as there is love and not lust. Where there is lust bad things happen, its where there is love so when something bad happens you will be there for them and that is where it really matters.

I don't know if it's considered a sin, but if God is love above all things, then I think two people having sex out of wedlock in love would not be frowned upon.

If you *really* want to know what "God" thinks about sex in general: Look at every single prophet and holy man in the bible. Does it *ever* mention them having sex?
This either means: A. God doesn't care who you have sex with as long as both people aren't married or they're both married to eachother. or B. He'd prefer that you have your mind more on him than on sex.

If the modern translations give you the impression that fornication is ok then there is a problem with those translations, the Bible does not change so if the modern translations do not convey the true meaning as Christians have held it since the time of Christ then those Bibles are no good.
In the Bible I use God is quite clear in this matter. adtende tibi fili mi ab omni fornicatione et praeter uxorem tuam numquam patiaris crimen scire Tobias 4:13 Take heed to keep thyself, my son, from all fornication, and beside thy wife never endure to know a crime. Tobias 4:13 non erit meretrix de filiabus Israhel neque scortator de filiis Israhel Deut. 23:17 There shall be no whore among the daughters of Israel, nor whoremonger among the sons of Israel. Deut. 23:17 ut abstineatis vos ab immolatis simulacrorum et sanguine suffocato et fornicatione a quibus custodientes vos bene agetis valete Act. 15:29 That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well. Act. 15:29 Last edited by Abdon; 02-18-2008 at 08:43 AM.

Just a question here, but why is it that the newer translations are wrong when it comes to premarital sex, but they are right when it comes to "other things'? I've noticed that words change from translation to translation and it always seems that people will use different versions of the bible to back up their stance. If it says one thing in one version that can't prove your point, then you grab a different version that can.
Do any of you think that eventually you will ever all agree on just what version has the "most truth"? It's easy to see why there are so many different denominations of Christianity when you constantly see the proof that so many can't even agree on what the scriptures you base your faith on actually say. This seems to be a big blockade within Christianity.
