1 | Premarital sex is a sin? | Heb 13:4 | monkman | 112452 | ||
well, this is a very interesting discussion... I have been married and divorced after 3 years (my wife wanted to get rid of me) and I have had a sexual relationship for one year and a half with a divorced woman. I guess that would mean that according to some of you, I have been fornicating or something like that... Do I feel guilty? Yes and no. Yes because I rushed into these two relationships much too quickly and with hindsight I could say I should have slowed down and given it more thought. And Yes also because it is very painful to be that closely linked to a woman, to have that kind of intimacy, and then become like strangers... there is bound to be some sin in that, I am sure there is. But also no... because... I don't consider premarital or postmarital sex in itself to be 'fornication' or sinful, the only sin I would admit is adultery... By the way, God does not hate divorce (as the NASB puts it), He just hates men sending their wives away (because that is the original meaning of the hebrew). So I have this kind of in between stance, not liberal and not conservative... perhaps this is the moment to add I am dutch/european... it seems we are a bit more liberal than christians in the usa. I would welcome any reactions out of a concern to be biblical and loving. |

I would like more info......................... Welcome to the forum Monkman :) Before I respond to your post, I would like to know more about you. Do you consider yourself to be a Christian? Do you consider the Bible to be authoritative for your life? |

Yes I do consider my christian. I consider the bible highly reliable: an authoritative account of past, present and future. |

Personal Note.................................... Nsparkman, Thanks for answering my question. I was actually hoping that "Monkman" would give a little more information about himself so that I could help him more. As for you, I am glad that you have a good relationship with God, and have chosen to allow scripture to be authoritative in your life. I would suggest that you put that information in your "user profile" on this site. That way, when you ask future questions or give answers, people can click on your name and know where you are coming from. In fact, I would encourage all new people on the forum to use this feature. |
