Christians in the house, it clear from the bible that God out rightly forbid any professing born again Christians who are yet unmarried the right to explore themselves in the area of sex before the marriage. Looking at the scripture below God promised to judge such people. Also the Old Testament paints a vivid picture of how God hates this sin. Under mosses law, the culprit was meant to be stone to death, as seen on the scripture below.
But on a practical ground, what is the level of compliant in our today Christendom, with this tenet of faith?
Heb 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Eph5:3 ¶ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
Deu 22:15-21 ¶ If any man takes a wife, and having had connection with her, has no delight in her
And says evil things about her and gives her a bad name, saying, I took this woman, and when I had connection with her it was clear to me that she was not a virgin:
Then let the girl's father and mother put before the responsible men of the town, in the public place, signs that the girl was a virgin:
And let the girl's father say to the responsible men, I gave my daughter to this man for his wife, but he has no love for her;
And now he has put shame on her, saying that she is not a virgin; but here is the sign that she is a virgin. Then they are to put her clothing before the responsible men of the town.
Then the responsible men of the town are to give the man his punishment;
They will take from him a hundred shekels of silver, which are to be given to the father of the girl, because he has given an evil name to a virgin of Israel: she will go on being his wife, he may never put her away all his life.
But if what he has said is true, and she is seen to be not a virgin,
Then they are to make the girl come to the door of her father's house and she will be stoned to death by the men of the town, because she has done evil and put shame on Israel, by acting as a loose woman in her father's house: so you are to put away evil from among you.
