Bible Question: where in the bible does it say that u cannot have sex before marrage. isnt that fornication? but where does it say it like that "Before marrage no fornication?" or is it something made up? |
Bible Answer: Yesenia, Welcome to the forum. There isn't anything made up where the bible is concerned. Oft times God clarifies things for us by stating purpose or function. Genesis 2:23,24 is a good example. Read Deuteronomy 22:13-30, this gives a good and proper illustration of God's attitude where sex and marriage are concerned. In Him, lionheart |
