Sorry I’m Shamanist, so I can’t answer. Just sounds quite interesting as if Christianity decrees asceticism? Asceticism can be good for spiritual quest, but for the strong. The average people can’t handle it, or they need to grow first. Could you please re-word your question for me in simple way?

And if sex outside of marriage is wrong, shouldn't Leviticus say "thou shalt not have sexual relations with any woman that thou art not married to" or "thou shalt not have sexual relations with a woman unless thou art married to her" or something? How come the Greek phrase sex ektós gámou isn't in the New Testament? Edit: Or the Hebrew equivalent in the Old Testament?
I understand the seventh commandment. But adultery is just a person with someone else's spouse, or a married person with someone other his/her their spouse. What's the Hebrew word for adultery?
And I understand 1 Corinthians 7:2. Fornication is porneia, which is not the same as sex ektos gamou.
Is Sex Before Marriage Forbidden in the Bible?
I would like you to comment on that post and tell Lee Woofenden why you disagree. I want him to hear your points, because they are good.
Edit: How come progamiaíes schéseis isn't in the New Testament? Or the Hebrew equivalent in the Old Testament?
