: : hello..you dont know me but could you help me locate in the bible various verses related to no premarital sex. specifically verses that would tell me where it says it is forbidden ... etc. : : appreciat your help : : thanks!! : : Cindi, : I see you have all the bible verses you need now. : I would like to make a few comments on this as I have recent personal experience. : first of all Cindi, I don't think you would be looking for scripture unless you were having spiritual dificulty to begin with. Whether you wish to argue for or against sex outside of marriage is not my concern. Your questions mean you have a problem. One thing is certain if a person is not willing to marry you, the love you need to make it a lifetime is NOT there. Like Pastor Steven says, "Marriage is hard work and it takes much commitment for a lifelong relationship to survive." Listen the "Committment" part doesn't exist if one or both don't want to get married.So then, why be together? To have the comfort of a relationship? Your heart won't allow it if you are really a believer and follower of Christ I had to learn that the hard way after being in a relationship for five years with someone I loved deeply enough to want to marry. : I know, you want to twist it around in your head and make it alright. : You can't do it that way, jonvon says, " so even if you were to correctly define exactly what sexual immorality is, it won't do you any good unless you are growing in Jesus, in God, from the inside out" If this isn't you don't even bother trying to justify it. You will just be outwardly disobedient to scripture anyway, and eventually I believe the Spirit will transform your heart and make scripture come alive for you. Grace makes you free it's true, you are still in the body of Christ and that's the good thing, but continual unrepentant sin in your life will make YOU miserable, believe me! You will be unable to recieve all God has for you. It will eat at you and your lover if he is also a believer. God will not be able to work in your relationship as he would if you were married and eventually you will be resentful. Resentful of yourself, your lover, your life situation. : I think John said it best when he wrote, "God knew what he was doing when he set things up. The heart is a much more difficult thing to tame than human opinion. It is easy convince men that you are right, but the heart is much more difficult to lie to. And God places the judgment there. (not the condemnation type of judgement, but the discernment type.)" : I was very unhappy and wanted to be married but that's not what he wanted and God had been working on my heart a while and I knew it was wrong, to make matters worse I have children from my marriage before. Five years is a long time. : Well, I ended the living together thing and the sex thing and the relationship simply fell apart, not only that but, God revealed to me just how deluded I was about our whole relationship. I have told God how sorry I was for living that way. I have promised myself and the Lord I will not treat myself so disrespectfully again, after all I have a responsibility to myself, and my children, as well as the Lord. : I hope this is an encouragement to you to do what you know in your heart to be right and good and healthy, the Lord knows I am at peace and can live honestly with my decision. Not only that but I will never to have to stand by again while my partner struggles to introduce me to somebody and finally settles on " this is my old lady..." : -kat
