is doing sexual things with a boyfriend/girlfriend sin...

[MatthewG]

It's encouraged by Paul to be avoided.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20​

​

Amplified Bible​

​

​

18 Run away from sexual immorality [in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written]. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins against his own body. 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]? 20 You were bought with a price [you were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and made His own]. So then, honor and glorify God with your body.

That is subjective though, it is between you and God. From my total outlook on it, it would be best to do those things with your wife, its just between you and God on what you do, according to Paul it is the only sin that actually totally effects the entire body.

 

[Adam]

Adam and Eve had no wedding ceremony. I personally believe that the moment you vow to be with someone or the moment you lay with someone you are married. Any separation after this is an adultery and that adultery is on the head of the one who left.

That being said, many men will make all sorts of lies to a woman, then abandon her if she gets pregnant or if he finds another woman. So women should protect themselves by formalizing their marriage legally, and therefore be secure against men taking advantage of them.

What??? You are definitely not married "the moment you lay with someone ". There is a huge difference between intercourse and marriage. Having intercourse with someone else after you are married is the definition of adultery. "Adultery is extramarital sex that is considered objectionable on social, religious, moral, or legal grounds. Although the sexual activities that constitute adultery vary, as well as the social, religious, and legal consequences, the concept exists in many cultures and is similar in Christianity, Judaism and Islam." wikipedia

"That being said, many men will make all sorts of lies to a woman, then abandon her if she gets pregnant or if he finds another woman" is a very bizarre generalization. As is "So women should protect themselves by formalizing their marriage legally, and therefore be secure against men taking advantage of them." a) Marriage is a legal contract (as well as a ceremony and a commitment). b) Many married women are taken advantage of by their husbands.

Gotta lock this one up. Remember the rules state… No vulgar/obscene language or images. We are mostly adults here, but younger audiences frequent this forum as well. Please refrain from using offensive language in light of this. This is, by far not, just limited to swearing, and includes graphic language or content of sexual nature.
