Subject: inmorality also if the couple will marry |
Bible Note: If sex is the "act of marriage" than are you saying that people "marry" a differant mate every time they engage in the sex act? Or those that have sex with an animal is than married? No wonder our nation is in such a mess... the divorce rate among Christians now out ranks that of the unbelievers. If you are a Christian, how can you give such ungodly advise? NO ... the sex act does not constitute a marriage any more than meowing makes me a cat! Marriage is entered by vows between a man and a women before witnesses and before a HOLY God! Sex is the privelege of the married couple. Sex outside of marriage is sin... as the brother justme has said. Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 1 Cor. 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 1 Cor. 6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 1 Cor. 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Cor. 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 1 Cor. 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 2 Cor. 12:21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Ephes. 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Col. 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 1 Thes. 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. |
