I'm not so sure about that.. I prowl through family history online and I have seen folders where man and woman were charged with fornication. I have not seen any details as you would have to go and call them up at a record office and they are not connected to my family anyway but the people are named. I do not know why they were taken to court and it could if it was long enough ago be a court run by the church. In the past people often married ,in the countryside, when the bride was pregnant. Most people wanted families because of the labour required to work the land. They would not want a barren wife. It was bad if the man let the girl down when she was pregnant. The rules of the church in old societies are often like a skin over the usual way of going about things . So in the past it really meant sex without marriage between an unmarried couple. If you are married in the eyes of the church then sex out side the marriage is adultery. The old catechism before 196whatever made all this clear and if you went to a catholic church school it was all taught. Some people think it is a restriction but in many ways the rules are to keep souls safe in this world of sin. How many of the priests managed to sink down to their abysmal level God only knows. The trouble is unguided it is easy to delude oneself that something is alright. When the guides are corrupted the world is in danger of hell arriving here. |

I'm not so sure about that.. Op why do you think virgins are highly regarded both in the bible and the ancient world? It's all about DNA. Our modern science now understands what the ancients knew. [link to www.returnofkings.com] Thread: Women absorb and carry living DNA and cells from every male they have sexual intercouse with The scientific term is called "telegony" This is why sex outside of is sinful. Also "Fornication" in English means sexual intercourse between people not married to each other. Anytime you use the English word "fornication" it means unmarried sex. If you are trying to say the Hebrew or greek word in a particular passage doesn't translate into the English word "fornication" than argue that, but a lot of your thread seems to have confused this argument with an argument about the meaning of fornication. Also the translation into the English word fornication comes from three separate words in the Bible, two from the Hebrew and one from the Greek. 1. porneia (greek) 2. zanah (hebrew) 3. taznuth (hebrew). English is a less than perfect language that tends to generalize. But if you are saying their is a mistranslation you have to prove it for all three. And also the greek word "pornieia" is very context driven for translating it's meaning into English which depending on the context will include multiple different English words as English has a more defined lexicon for sexual relations. |

I'm not so sure about that.. It's ok to want to have sex with other people. That is pure and natural. That isn't lusting. Lust is when your perspective is they are non-human, just an object for orgasm. Someone you feel ok misleading or lying to. This is Lust, and since it fails to follow the golden rule, it is obviously what god is against. |

I don't have to prove it. That is your issue, not mine. I see how God expressed one women to one man is clear... yes death, & divorce (in sin and without sin), brake that covenant a covenant that was signified during sex. Your confused, sin is not always a salvation issue. Jesus did not come because we were without sin, No! He came because we are sinners, and we will be till heaven. Its not our sins that keep us in or out of heaven. Those saved, and sin will experience conviction of said sin by the H.S. and eventually repent. Those that are not saved might or might not ever repent... Sinners are entering Heaven and sinners are entering Hell, the difference is not sin, No! The difference those entering Heaven are ones admitting to there sin, that Jesus paid for on the Cross... Even the sins after they became saved. 1 Peter 1:16 should look like in the saved person, a progression that is 100% complete in Heaven with a new body and this body of flesh from Adam is gone. No its ok to ask a question, but you are not doing that. You asked a question as a statement. You believe this, and many on here have called you on it, yet you belittle them or diss them or ignore them, not Christ like. IMHO To say, to think that sex out side of marriage is ok, is wrong. God said two become one. Not one place in the bible you find people having free sex and not causing issues in there life. Not one place in the bible you find more than one wife that is not causing issues. One women with One Man for life is the only way, the rest, other than death of one partner is do to sin. The brothel period was a year, and the only way out of this was if one was found to be not a virgin (yes worded for the man tho). Why? because even before they had sex the promise was there holding them to the covenant. And those found with not being a virgin was dismissed (divorced even tho they did not have sex yet). Why? because it was ok to have sex out side of marriage? No! You are straining at a nat and swallowing a camel. You focus on a word, and miss the heart of God. God's love for us and the Love for family is clear, it started with His Promise with the heal striking the head of the snake and finished at the Cross. We will experience that finish in Heaven. |

I'm not so sure about that.. Good topic OP. Here's another twist on the subject that I've never been able to find anyone with a good answer for. The Bible says David was a man after God's own heart. David had many concubines though. They were obviously for him to have sex with. His son Absalom ended up having sex with them all up on a rooftop when he was trying to overthrow David. So, if extra-marital sex is wrong, how could a "man after God's own heart" have lots of concubines and not be condemned for it? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70929927 In David's last days, he spent them shivering uncontrollably, freezing. Punishment for his murder and adulteries? I think yes. Also David was never allowed to build the Temple because of his many sins and being a man of war. The person asking is asking a question out ignorance, if the person read some more the person would understand but since the person don't read it will never understand. What the persons like this don't understand is the forgiveness of God, they don't want it, the sanctuary cities is part of the forgiveness in the Old Testament economy and is also a picture of Jesus Christ, like a Christian flees from the law by entering such a city. Salt is a devil, people denying hell all are, people like her lure people to hell, this denying of out of wedlock sex is part of the agenda saying people can win and get away with it. Watch out people. |

This was before law's, before the establishment of the Irealites. They hadn't been given God's laws yet. We now have God's law's and have no excuse. No Abraham listened to his unbelieving wife, because of her sin we now have the Muslims around. God did not approve, just look at the curses that came from the union with Hagar, the bloodshed, the trillions of sin. And this because he listened to an unbelieving wife that refused to believe God would give her and heir from her womb. Men should not base their decisions on what unbelieving wives think, it will lead to a world of problem. Just like this idiot wolf Saltwanting even more whoredoms. |

The same way you did when you argued that hell is not eternal. I know that you are universalist from your previous posts. Not poisoning the well. But it should give an idea to people what your thought pattern is. Paul in 1 corinthians 7 Paul addresses two Christians who are burning wit passion and Paul says to them to exercise self-control or get married. Bible is pretty clear about what fornication means. The word itself comes from prostitutes hiding from the rain while waiting for a client. Translation is based on context. Simple linguistics. You have not shown any verses that would show that fornication actually means something different from looking at the context. Poor attempt.

Fornication aka adultery is strictly forbidden not ONLY in the Bible, but in ALL abrahamic holy books/religions. Trying to manipulate God's rules just so you can somehow acknowledge adultery, is pure insanity. People with so-called religion are trying so hard to justify their slutty actions by planting seeds of doubt in men's hearts. Fucking unbelieveable. No wonder this is a fucked up world. |
