Bible Question: I have a friend who is a Christian, but doesn't believe in the "fornication" part of the Bible. He believes that this word was not translated correctly somehow. He said that translators found it unfair that an unmarried person could have sex with many, while a married person couldn't. I know this sounds ridiculous, and I think he's using it as justification for his actions. He is open to argue it, though. Where should I start? Thanks for any help.

Bible Answer: Dear libraudr,

I can tell you that Jesus' standard is much much higher. Show your christian(?) friend Matthew 5:27-28. It would be good to ask him to read also v29-30 and 1 Cor 5:1-5 as well.

Rom 12:1
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and HOLY sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

Shalom
Azure
