Bible Question: This might sound like an easy question to answer, but I'm confused. I am a single male (never been married) dating a single female (never been married). Would having sex be a sin? The Ten Commandments don't address this issue (see Exodus 20:3-17) nor is it addressed in the two commandments on which the whole Law and the Prophets depend on (see Matt 22:36-40). |
Bible Answer: Dear JMR Your question is a good one But I think that you might be looking for an excuse to have sex, and the Bible doesn't give you any as I gave the passage in 1 Cor 7 1-10.Paul by permission gave us instruction as to how we should conduct ourselves. Jesus also told us that the only reason we could divorce a wife is for fornication and that is sex before marriage. I would counsel you and your friend to save the wedding present for the night of your marriage it just will make the rest of your life together that much better. I hope that you can glean some help form this answer if i can ever be of help just contact me through this web page. May god be with you in your descision. |
