Hi angel1581 ,
I do not understand some of the questions you ask but let me answer the ones which I understood.

1) 1Corinthians 6:13-20 talks about having sex only when you get married. It says the body is not meant for immorality, but for the LORD and the LORD for the body. It also says every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body that is he sins against the temple of God because our bodies are the temples of GOD.Having sex without getting married is immoral and it is a sin. So the only way that having sex will not become a sin is when you get married.

2)The Bible does not talk about ceremony but there is nothing wrong to celebrate your marriage or to organize a ceremony for your marriage.Since marriage bring joy to us and it is a good thing to get marry that is why people in those days celebrate marriages; and it has become a tradition and a culture today.

3) You must not be infront of a priest or a pastor to get marry but what is important is that God should be there with you people. The Bible says where two or more are gather in the name of the LORD, the LORD is there with them.

Thanks and may GOD be with you and interpret His word for you as you read it.

I know the bible is very clear on the subject of sex before marriage and I know I've fallen short :-/ I have a little boy! Anyways I know I am forgiven and my little boy is the best thing that's happened to me!
But what I was wondering is, where does it say in scripture about when exactly you are married? Does it say about having a ceremony? Being infront of priests? Or is it just infront of you that person and God, and if it is and its not the ceremony and paper that we need to be married, does that mean that some of us our classed in the eyes of the bible, as divorced?
If that got confusing I'm sorry, but I'm a little confused myself lol
Thanks to anyone who can lead me to a part of the bible that can help me out! :)

Sex is instinct not goal
but body is the keeper of our soul
so in this life body becomes apart of our souls
it is valuable part
it our way to save our race
to express our absolute love and absolute confidence
the body have its own memory
we do not Sacrifice part of our soul for instinct rush
thats will be simply discusting and absulotly stupid

I also think it is wrong to have sex before marriage and with that being said if a person agree with this and is single and looking for a healthy relationship they need to make sure whoever they start dating feels the same 100% if not it can be very difficult to not sin...

Ya know I have to say that this is a great poll. I myself thought that sex was vital. That it was something that needed to be done in a relationship of boyfriend and girlfriend. It was a way to seek love, a way to feel wanted and loved, a way to get attention and it is something that should be saved for marriage and here is why...

Not only does the bible clearly say it should be, but the things you can't or may not understand why is because of the emotional bond there is when a man and a woman become one flesh. It is NOT just physical, but it is spiritual. You give a part of you to that person, and although at the time it may seem like harmless sex, if there is not commitment people become hurt emotionally and are left to pic up the piecees alone. I know because I was that person.

For so long I felt this longing to be loved, to have love, and i thought in order to do that i needed to have sexual relations with guys. I ended up getting my heart broken many times. It left me emotionally scared, confused, lonely, and I eventually became pregnant. I had been with a guy who I thought I knew a guy I loved and was with for 2 years, but when I got pregnant after the excitment wore off and reality set in he left me for my best friend at the time. I was devistated and am now single mother. My decision to have sex before marriage left me struggling. Although in the long run honestly my son has been a blessing in all honesty it has not been easay taking care of him alone with no support from his father at all.

For some it could be pregnancy, it could be aids, or other stds that happen from having sex before marriage and not knowing someone, but I know that Gods plan is better than our own. He planned for man and woman to have sex when they are joined in holy matrimoney not before, and it is apparent why. He doesn't want us to get hurt or to hurt others. Amen to that.

I just wanna give my point of view according to what the bible says about sex b4 marriage.

There is no Hebrew or Greek word used in the Bible that precisely refers to sex before marriage. The Bible undeniably condemns adultery and sexual immorality, but is sex before marriage considered sexually immoral? According to 1 Corinthians 7:2, “yes” is the clear answer: “But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.” In this verse, Paul states that marriage is the “cure” for sexual immorality. First Corinthians 7:2is essentially saying that, because people cannot control themselves and so many are having immoral sex outside of marriage, people should get married. Then they can fulfill their passions in a moral way.

Since 1 Corinthians 7:2clearly includes sex before marriage in the definition of sexual immorality, all of the Bible verses that condemn sexual immorality as being sinful also condemn sex before marriage as sinful. Sex before marriage is included in the biblical definition of sexual immorality. There are numerous Scriptures that declare sex before marriage to be a sin (Acts 15:20; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13, 18; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). The Bible promotes complete abstinence before marriage. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations of which God approves (Hebrews 13:4).

Far too often we focus on the “recreation” aspect of sex without recognizing that there is another aspect—procreation. Sex within marriage is pleasurable, and God designed it that way. God wants men and women to enjoy sexual activity within the confines of marriage. Song of Solomon and several other Bible passages (such as Proverbs 5:19) clearly describe the pleasure of sex. However, the couple must understand that God’s intent for sex includes producing children. Thus, for a couple to engage in sex before marriage is doubly wrong—they are enjoying pleasures not intended for them, and they are taking a chance of creating a human life outside of the family structure God intended for every child.

While practicality does not determine right from wrong, if the Bible's message on sex before marriage were obeyed, there would be far fewer sexually transmitted diseases, far fewer abortions, far fewer unwed mothers and unwanted pregnancies, and far fewer children growing up without both parents in their lives. Abstinence is God’s only policy when it comes to sex before marriage. Abstinence saves lives, protects babies, gives sexual relations the proper value, and, most importantly, honors God.

I have never heard any of my friends say that they are okay with me waiting for marriage to have sex. Biblical examples aside, I just think it is really awesome to be able to give yourself to that one person. To be able to say, "I am yours," and truly mean it. All of my friends tell me that my beliefs and morals are getting in the way of having a decent relationship. I want a man who lives for Him, so why wouldn't I wait? At least, that's how I see it...

I totally agree.. In our culture everything is so sexual it can be hard to remain focused on purity.. But the Bible is very clear on the subject.

Its strange...

I've come to terms with the fact that this thread will literally never die. Not posting isn't going kill it, so much like Liberals, I'm going to have to find a way to make peace with it.

I recently subscribed to a Youtube channel that I find very fascinating. Why? because it has nothing to do with Sex. It has to do with experiencing life. I invite you to enjoy it as much as I have...

Perk,
There is no such thing as sex before marriage. When you have sex with an available mate God considers you married.

Sorry. I mistakenly thought it was you who posed this question about sex before marriage.
It was my first day here and I am still feeling my way around.

Is there a way to turn the polls off so threads don't keep popping up after YEARS unless someone is actually posting something new on it?

This is why I started setting my polls to expire after a month or so. I don't want people to hate me 3 years from now :D
