Sex Before Marriage: Does God Approve?
We live in a new day. One in which the very definition of morality is being rewritten. With that in mind, do you believe the traditional Christian view concerning premarital sex is old-fashioned and outdated?
I hear many educators and social physicians say that sex before marriage is a natural function of adolescence. Popular culture views premarital sex favorably. In fact, there is an EXPECTATION that kids will have sex before they're married.
What do you think? Do you believe premarital sex is okay? Is there any reason teens or unmarried adults should abstain?

Re: Sex Before Marriage: Does God Approve?
If one is a Christian the Bible is very clear on these matters. Adultery and fornication are dealt with.
I am guessing probably only DAII, Mr. Smith, and Walks In Islam may have a possibly different view than everybody else on AFF. Should be interesting to see the responses to your question!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I guess that's what some of these people think. It's like someone saying last week that "Seeker" churches (emergent to some) don't teach the bible, repentance, and don't ask for commitment. Where do people get this stuff? I guess the mentality still, pretty much, holds true..."If you're not like me, something must be wrong with you."

The libs invented abortion to make the unintended consequences of fornication disappear.

I said it because I don't know if you left wing libbers have some modern take on scripture regarding this subject that us old fogies don't have!
Note I did not say that you did only that you might and it would be interesting to see what you guys think.

Mr. Smith, Left-wing Libber. Has kind of a nice ring to it.
When the bible says, "Thou shalt not", you need to look at the original Greek manuscripts. You'll find that when a predicate and a pronoun and an adverb, combined with a past participle, inverted through a subjective verb, are intersected with the word "Not", there is a Greek rule that actually makes a word mean the opposite. So when the bible says, "Thou shalt not commit fornication", the word "Not" means that you can't, NOT commit fornication, so in actuality, we're commanded to commit fornication. Not only is it not prohibited, it's commanded.
How's that for "Left-wing liberal"?
