Bible Question: My roomate asked me where in the Bible it says that premarital sex is forbidden. Can anyone give me a passage or verse. Thank you |
Bible Answer: Referral to another thread............................................ Hi Yates, You have already received a couple of great answers to your question, but I'll just throw in two more cents. In the Bible if a person had pre-marital sex, they were either stoned or forced to get married immediately depending on the circumstances. In either case, it was a very serious decision and not to be taken lightly or jumped into just because a person lacks self-control (which is a fruit of the Holy Spirit).
