can I still go 2 heaven?

rolls eyes

Wow… sometimes I really hate being one of the only RATIONAL people on Earth.

bible DOES say that premarital sex is a sin.

No… it doesn’t…

Well I havn’t read the bible much but I know the ten commandments and I know that thatis not one of them. but of course I really don’t know that much about the bible

The Bible does NOT say that ‘premarital sex’ is a sin… it never mentions it…

In the Bible, sex outside of marriage is called ‘fornication’, a sin - speak further with your priest or minister for clarification…Take care !!

It is a sin. But if you ask for forgiveness you can still get into heaven. But really now, why would you do it if you know it’s a sin? It’s really not worth it, in my opinion you should wait. There’s so many people that throw their lives away because of it and all, it’s sad. But I don’t wish to get into your business.

It is true that one of the things God holds most sacred is chastity. Pre-marital sex is a sin, no way around it. But, the issue you can deal with is your desires. Pray to your Heavenly father for strength, and for guidance. Know that He wants you to be happy, and part of that is being chaste. It is always easy to give yourself before marriage, but if you wait you will have a sacred trust between you and your spouse and your love for each other will be that much stronger! You can do it!

the simple answer is to become a muslim.if you do you wouldn’t belive all the good things that will happen in your life.manshallah if you do learn the quran and the teranslation and you will love it.people say that we are terroest but thats an oxy moron islam means submition to god(allah),and I think you know what that means so you see my point.Inshallah if you become a muslim you will be portected by allah from any harme!

No… it doesn’t…

Yes it does

Jesus came to crucify our “want to’s “ .

If you have made up your mind to do this, there is nothing anyone can do. You will find a way. Just be sure you are prepared for the outcome. Satan does the tempting, but, he never mentions anything about the cost.

Be assured that every deed has consequences… be prepared to pay them, because they will come.

And they can take many forms,

Guilt shame Sadness STD Gossip Inuendos Let down those who trust you Always have the act (acts) in your conscience Unwanted pregnancy

It is the Lords desire to bring you to a place where you no longer want to do what is wrong, and that is the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.

God requires us to confess our sins, and he will cleanse us, but he will never take away the consequences, those are the price that you must pay for doing something that is forbidden.

Oh, and forbidden fruit, is always very desirable.

God be with you…and give you strength and wisom, to stand against wrongdoing.

Well, you seem like A good person =D ohh yes. sex before marriage is one BIG sin. but I guess you could go to heaven but there is a possibillity that you cant. it’s just God’s choice.

to no to do good and do it not this is sin if you know that sex before marrage is a sin then you can not be for given if you are going to sin and keep on sinning when Jesus was ask to stone the woman cought in the acts he did not condem her but said “WOMAN WHERE ARE THAN ACUERS AND SHE SAID THERE ARE NONE “ then he let her go BUT HE ALSO SAID GO AND SIN NO MORE LEST A WORST THING COME UPON YOU keep your slef for you husband pray and the Lord will give you grace

If you look at your wife, and see yourself having sex with her, is that lust?

I don’t think so, because it’s within the circle of matrimony.

YES you CAN still go to Heaven! God hates sin. He cannot look at it. He is abhorred by it…But because of Jesus’ death on the cross, you are forgiven of your sins, no matter what they may be. It does matter to God that you are doing those things, but he still forgives you. Does this mean you should do whatever you want? No. It doesn’t. It means that if you fail and do sin, then you will be forgiven and you will go to Heaven if you admit that you have sinned, you beleive that Jesus is God’s son, and you confess your belief to others. Now I am a strong Christian and have always been. I know tree are temptations in life. Very hard temptations. But if you have God on your side, then you can overcome those temptations. Yes those sins are WRONG but if you believe, then you will still go to Heaven when you die. Our God is a loving caring and forgiving God. So if you believe admit and confess, then I’ll see you in Heaven my sister. Becuase Jesus died for our sins: as the payment for our sins. If you want to continue those sins, then that is between you and God. But you can still go to Heaven. And that is the truth. John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son(for the payment of our sins), and whoever believes in Him will NOT perish, but have everlasting life.” And that is the truth my friend:)

No… it doesn’t…

You, like many other believers, like to interpret the Bible in such ways, so it agrees with your OPINION. The Bible NEVER says premarital sex is a sin, you just ‘concluded’ that particular message is IMPLIED, through various scriptures. And your interpretation of that single passage, just leads to another contradiction.

Of course, coming from a guy who instigates on every single Christian-based thread is the perfect source.

My belief is that people come along and try to rationalize sin so that they don’t have some part of them making them feel guilty. If you’re a Christian, and you’re sexually active outside of marriage, of course you’re going to come along and try to say I’m doing nothing wrong. It’s in human nature.

Of course, if you’re an atheist, you either have never had to deal with such doubts, or are in complete denial of Christ and his well-expressed teachings in order to bypass them.

I mean, lust? What is lust? It’s allowing your mind to dwell on sexual attraction. And that can lead to certain actions later on, which could put you in position to perform a certain disgusting action. It only takes a little thinking to put 1 and 1 together. If its a sin to want to have sex with someone, why the hell would it be right to do it?

Please tell me what these verses mean

They mean nothing with regard to premarital sex… the ENGLISH definition of ‘fornicate’ has been amended to include ‘premarital sex’ …to make followers THINK its a sin.

The Hebrew, Greek, and Latin definitions of ‘fornicate’ = to have sex with a prostitute

Biblically, the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the Holy spirit, and sex isn’t that.

Christians believe that if you ask for forgiveness god will forgive you.

Im not a christian so I dont have much information but im sure you will make it to heaven :)

I have a friend that has offered me similar advice. God always forgives. you just have to admit to your wrongdoings to Him. this is a pretty big decision tho. it sounds weird coming from a guy but temptations are there and it will test your strength. you have to be sure that when you make the decision your fully rational and not being taken advantage of because your horny.

I realized a few weeks ago that sex is something that people should look forward to in marraige, and if you’ve already done it before, then what makes it so special?

you just have to be really sorry about it and hope that you dont die while banging your boyfriend. (not pray b/c that would be blasphemous)

its all up to you in the end. its your life. live how you want :]

There are some people who have really given good answers to this questions. I want to say the bible DOES say that premarital sex is a sin. Jesus himself said that anyone who looks at a woman and lust after her is guilty of sin. This rule applies anyone weather married or not.

thehairdude you have not understood what silverwings has written. Read it once again

Please tell me what these verses mean

1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

If you look at your wife, and see yourself having sex with her, is that lust? I don’t think so, because it’s within the circle of matrimony.

Yes it is… you’re thinking about sex… your mind is dwelling on sexual attraction… which is a lustful act. The same processes, the same carnal arousal, stimulation, pleasure. Marriage does NOT nullify this, nor does the Bible SAY it does. If you read the Bible OBJECTIVELY, it considers sex to be sinful in general. Which is why it says that we are all ‘’conceived in sin, and born in sin’’ It speaks of sexual immorality, adultery, harlotry, rape, incest, prostitution (fornication). It never seems to mention sex in a POSITIVE way.

…well in Genesis, God DID tell Adam and Eve to ‘’be fruitful & multiply’’ (indirectly commanding them to have sex) …but then again, he didn’t tell them to get married first, either.

everyone goes to heaven, assuming you believe in it, the rainbow is the promise from god saying everyone will go to heaven as long as you open your heart to him at the gates

Of course, coming from a guy who instigates on every single Christian-based thread is the perfect source.

Generalizing again? Do you EVER want to be right? Do you have a VALID response? I see you didn’t provide information to the contrary.

Of course, if you’re an atheist, you either have never had to deal with such doubts, or are in complete denial of Christ and his well-expressed teachings in order to bypass them.

…pre-marital sex isn’t even mentioned in the Bible, so his ‘teachings’ aren’t expressed AT ALL.

I mean, lust? What is lust? It’s allowing your mind to dwell on sexual attraction. And that can lead to certain actions later on, which could put you in position to perform a certain disgusting action. It only takes a little thinking to put 1 and 1 together. If its a sin to want to have sex with someone, why the hell would it be right to do it?

Whether you’re married or not; sexual attraction, and/or sexual stimulation is REQUIRED for sex to occur. So that means LUST is required. So if its a ‘disgusting act’ out of marriage, then its also a disgusting act IN marriage. The processes are the same.

silverwings is saying that the very two people God created to start this world went to hell just beacause of fruit. im sorry even as a christian I dont believe they went to hell. before jesus sacrifices were made to be forgiven. consequences are saught on earth. not at judgement. it says ye shall be forgiven if asked. I know some of the older people at church had sex before marriage and yet are respectible at church. if they are going to hell they should just give up yeah. NO! Jesus died to forgive us of all our sin.

captain assassinThe bible does say that premarital sex is a sin the only problem is it’s written in a different version of english.I remember asking myself where in the world did the bible say premarital sex was a sin but I didn’t find it in my bible translation which was the New INtenational Version but when I was looking for it in other versions I found it… but yes I suppose our going to ask me to state the verse..the truth is I can’t be bothered to find it im hungry…but so you should know…

This is a complex question to answer, because for one, there will be believers and non-believers who will give their opinion on this.

Non-believers will tell you that there is no such thing as God or heaven and hell… and that considering non-marital sex as a sin is ridiculous – one of the many reasons why people don’t follow organized religion.

Believers will tell you that you’re definitely going to hell (or purgatory), because even though you confess your sins, you are unrepentant as you plan on doing the deed again and again. It shows that you don’t actually regret comitting the ‘sin’. They will tell you that God is forgiving, but only to those who are repentant.

Now, we have you in the middle of this, but only you can decide which ‘side’ to fall on. Are you a true believer, or are you open minded and rational? You can be in-between, where you try to stay a Christian while constantly committing this ‘sin’. However, if you plan on doing that, what kind of Christian do you plan to be?

Sex, when done responsibly and if you know what you’re getting into, is a very healthy thing. Whether or not you want to put religion into it, it’s a huge responsibility as well. Your body is a big responsibility. You should learn all you can about STDs, STIs, birth control, contraceptives, and pregnancy before even attempting at starting sex. Sex can affect how you live for the rest of your life.

Also, you need to think about how having sex will affect you if you have sex before marriage or after marriage. I’m not going to start the debate here, but some couples have sexual problems after marriage because they never had sex together before that. That kind of problem can lead to a broken/failed marriage, as sex (like it or not) can hold a relationship together and keep a couple mentally, emotionally and physically connected. However some couples can attest to a satisfying sex life after abstaining from sex before marriage. The odds are hard to tell, as everyone reacts to everything differently. You’ll just have to have this debate within yourself to see which is the best path for you to take.

In the end, you’ll just have to work out your priorities and see whats best for you and your needs. If God was a forgiving God, wouldn’t he understand?

I definitely agree with you jbwhoo. You can sin and be forgiven.its just that way too many people think oh I can sin,God with just forgive me for it and I will be fine.thats the problem with a lot of people.It takes a lot of faith and trust in the Holy God to be a christian.but doing this will make you SUCH a happier person.and you WILL be blessed plenty.and knowing that your going to Heaven should make you REALLY happy.IF your a true christian and you do wrong,you will be convicted by the Holy Spirit and you will not want to do wrong anymore. God bless [=

Thanks trixie777. I agree with you too. Sooo many people think that they can do wrong and God won’t care, but He does care. And I also agree that it will make you a much happier person. Believe me I know. God completely changed my life and I love it now:) And I love God:)

And to answer your question..it would be a sin(fornication: sex outside marriage) but you can still go to Heaven. Although that is NOT what God wants His children to do, He’ll still forgive you.

…it would be a sin(fornication: sex outside marriage)

INCORRECT.

The actual biblical definition [Hebrew, Greek, Latin] of (fornication: sex with a prostitute). the English definition was later (MUCH later) amended to include premarital sex, to make people THINK its a sin.

Since the English definition does not coincide with the original meaning, the English definition does not apply.
