- Premarital sex and the Bible - http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/281628.html
- "Notably, in neither Exodus nor Deuteronomy is the premarital sex condemned as sin; the texts simply insist on "requiring full responsibility from the male as consequence of his act" (Childs 1977:477).
Solomon's line on Premarital sex - link
- Then I mention Hebrews 13:4, where the author distinguishes two types of sex that are prohibited. The first, moichos, refers to a married person having sex with someone other than his or her spouse and is generally translated adultery. The second, porneia, in this case refers to any other unmarried sex, usually translated fornication or sexual immorality.
- Anything else? They say. - How about Ephesians 5:1-3, where we are instructed to have not even a hint of sexual immorality (porneia), or any kind of impurity in or lives. Do you think pre-marital sex might be at least a hint of sexual immorality? I ask.
- Maybe, they say. What else do you have? - Well, I say, there is 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, which, among other things, tells us to flee sexual immorality (porneia) because the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are to honor God with our body.
- What else? They say. - Well, I say, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 says to avoid sexual immorality (porneia) and learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable to the Lord, not in passionate lust, like the heathen, who do not know God.
- Exodus 22:16-17 gives instruction on what to do if an unmarried, unengaged man has consensual sex with an unmarried, unengaged woman: "If a man seduces (implies consent) a virgin (or a woman of marriageable age) who is not pledged to be married, and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price (or marriage present) and she shall be his wife."
- Most scholars believe the same prohibition is found in Deuteronomy 22:28-29, "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered ... he must marry the girl...." Most scholars believe that "rape" is not being addressed here, but consensual pre- marital sex (albeit the man's strong initiation), especially given the phrase "and they are discovered."

- Exodus 22:16-17: An man had to marry the woman with whom he had premarital sex, if the father approved of the marriage, or pay a high price.
- Deuteronomy 22:13-21: Premarital sex is viewed as evil and a disgraceful thing.
- 1 Thessalonians 4:2-8: "Acquire a wife in a way that is holy and honorable" or you are in sexual immorality. Sexual sin harms others besides those who engage in it. Premarital sex "cheats" the future spouse by robbing him or her of the virginity that ought to be brought to marriage.

- Wow, did you ever actually pick up the OT and read it or did you stair at it from a distance and made your conclusions from there?
- Read Deuteronomy and it will give you what happens if they catch you doing just that.
- One: You will be forced to marry her.
- Two: If you raped the woman then you are as good as dead. (Oh yes people, raping women was a death sentence then.)
- Read Deuteronomy and it will give you what happens if they catch you doing just that.
