The Bible silent on pre-marital sex?

[Zebra1552]

Like I said earlier, there is legal marriage, and marriage in the eyes of God.

What's the difference? Why should there be one?

Legal marriage is an expectation placed on us by society, having a whtie wedding with lots of people and lots of food. Its a worldy tradition.

Marriage in the eyes of God is two peopel who loev ea ch other coming to gether as one. It actually states that.

....

......we see that it also quite conclusively covers PREmarital sex as well in 1 cor 7:1-2.

Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
(1Co 7:1-2 EMTV)

Coming at this with our previous conclusion that 'inappropriate contenteia' is ALL sexual immorality this passage shows conclusively that PREmarital sex is also wrong and needs to be dealt with by having ones own spouse.

Even without the previous conclusion that the word is ALL sexual immorality, this passage entirely on its own condemns PREmarital sex by showing that a man or woman is to have their OWN spouse.

Lets play this nonsense game that inappropriate contenteia is only prostitution for just a moment and examine the verse.

Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
(1Co 7:1-2 EMTV)

Does it say to avoid this sexual sin let each have their own boyfriend/girlfriend ? Their own lover ?

No, it quite clearly shows that we are to have our own husbands or wives to avoid this sexual sin REGARDLESS of what it might actually be.

It is complete folly to try to assert that Paul MIGHT have also mean 'you can also have sex with someone else you arent married to as long as they arent a temple prostitute"...more like purposefully rejecting the facts.
Whether the immoral and argumentative can accept the facts or not, Paul ONLY gives ONE remedy for avoiding this sexual sin and that is to have OUR OWN SPOUSE.
*IF* you are going to partake of sexual intercourse GET MARRIED !

"Married in the eyes of God" excuse is ludicrous. No, God's eyes are blazing red with wrath. It's just made up to justify their sins.

I hope this thread dies soon.

It actually states in the bible taht wen a man and a woman coem together, they are married in the eyes of God.

Legal marriage si something created by society, an expectation and ridiculously over priced.

Only if they commit to staying with each other till death do they part.
*edit(added)* But it is better to ere on the side of caution than foolishly make claims just for convenience.

Death to this thread!

Death to this thread!

I have met couples who refuse to conform to expectations of society, and have been together for years and years.

its one of those ones folks make up like 'God helps those who help themselves'....complete hogwash...

Have they made a covenant of marriage to one another or are they just shacked up and thinking theyre married ?

 

[Thaeoles]

Regardless if it is by government, marriage is a covenant. It is not to be taken lightly.

 

[elephunky]

They have made vows to each other in their own privacy and own way without the need for legalities or a huge fake ceromony

Legal marriage means nothing, you can marry, get divorced, marry, get divorced

Actually, the closest I can find to that is Genesis 2:24 - "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." Which doesn't actually mention marriage per se, although it's widely interpreted as referring to marriage. Nor does it mention the phrase "in the eyes of God" (which I can only find once in the Bible, and that's in a context that's nothing to do with marriage).

What sins do you imagine "they" are trying to justify?

I hope this thread dies soon.

Why?
