THE IMMINENT RAPTURE, BE WARNED!
Do you care for the Rapture? How often do you think
about the Rapture? Or rather, are you prepared for the
Rapture? Better still, do you have clear understanding
of what Rapture is all about? It’s unpopular topic in
churches today, and so many Christians care less
about it because it’s not as sweet and motivating as
prosperity, breakthrough, new things, favors, blessings
and earthly success.
But Rapture is a daily expectation and thought for the
wise Christians while prosperity and earthly blessings
are the focus for the foolish Christians. Rapture is the
catching away of the saints, which will happen within
seconds and any moment from now. It’s the first event
of the end time advents when the angels of God will
blow the trumpets, only Christians who are waiting for
it, expecting it and preparing for it will make it. DELAYING IS COSTLY.... THE NEXT HOUR MIGHT JUST BE TOO LATE!!! SAVE YOUR SOUL NOW!!!

There is no Personified God. God like Love,Happiness,Joy etc are qualities not quantities. Stop misusing the word "God" it is not a person, it cannot say anything about sex.

Sex is beautiful, Marriage is unnecessary. As long as sexy is not forced,it ain't a problem.

There is no Rapture. You are destined to die on this planet. Get busy with better reasonings!

Lol, so funny and contradictory

yes, if two unmarried people have sex it means they've joined themselves together to become one. Cos in the right sense, it is sex that makes two become one in marriage

Hollyb: yes, if two unmarried people have sex it means they've joined themselves together to become one. Cos in the right sense, it is sex that makes two become one in marriage

please stop decieving yoirself

Doclight: please stop decieving yoirself

please go and study your bible very well. That pre marital sex is the in thing now doesn't mean it is acceptable by God. God's clear injunction is that the marriage bed should be undefiled if you know what that means

Do you mean they get married at the time of the act or thereafter?

OLAADEGBU:

it means once you av sex outside marriage, the spiritual implication is dat you are already one wit the person. So if you commit fornication with 5 girls it means you are joined with those five girls.

‪Does having sex equal marriage? If an unmarried couple has sex does God consider them married?

http://www.gotquestions.org/sex-equal-marriage.html

Question: "If an unmarried couple has sex, are they married in God's eyes?"

Answer: It is true that sexual relations is the ultimate fulfillment of a couple becoming “one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). However, the act of sex does not equal marriage. If that were so, there would be no such thing as premarital sex—once a couple had sex, they would be married. The Bible calls premarital sex “fornication.” It is repeatedly condemned in Scripture along with all other forms of sexual immorality (Acts 15:20; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13,18; 10:8; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). The Bible promotes abstinence before marriage as the standard of godliness. Sex before marriage is just as wrong as adultery and other forms of sexual immorality because they all involve having sex with someone other than your spouse.

If an unmarried couple has sex, does that mean they are married? The Bible gives us no reason to believe this to be the case. The act of sexual relations may have made them for a moment physically joined, but that does not mean God has joined them together as husband and wife. Sex is an important aspect of marriage, the physical act of marriage. Sex between unmarried people, though, does not equal marriage.

I checked all of those scriptures you provided. NONE, absolutely NONE said fornication IS EQUAL TO pre-marital sexx. You keep following some websites and when called upon to discuss these things in context and by word meanings, you will still be finding another site to defend the one you already have. Stop adding to the word of God.

If you pick one of those scriptures after the other and dig into them, contextually and by Greek word meanings, none of them comes to your man made definition that the BIBLE CALLS pre-marital sex fornication. If you insist however that pre-marital sex IS fornication, then you need to show scriptures saying exactly that. Else, you will be adding to the word.

Also, check the Greek meaning and also many translations, none said or called fornication pre-marital sex.

If you don't believe that fornication is pre marital sex, do you consider fornication or pre-marital sex to be a sexually immoral act?

Do you believe in abstinence before marriage?

"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body" (1 Corinthians 6:18)

6:18 fornication. In Biblical usage, "fornication" can mean any sexual congress outside monogamous marriage. It thus includes not only premarital sex, but also adultery, homosexual acts, incest, remarriage after un-Biblical divorce, and sexual acts with animals, all of which are explicitly forbidden in the law as given through Moses (e.g., Leviticus 20:10-21). Christ expanded the prohibition against adultery to include even sexual lusting" (Matthew 5:28.)

If you don't believe that fornication is pre marital sex, do you consider fornication or pre-marital sex to be a sexually immoral act?

Do you believe in abstinence before marriage?

Who knows why Goshen evaded these questions?

Hollyb:


yes, if two unmarried people have sex it means they've joined themselves together to become one. Cos in the right sense, it is sex that makes two become one in marriage

Are you saying premarital sex is right?

Hollyb:


please go and study your bible very well. That pre marital sex is the in thing now doesn't mean it is acceptable by God. God's clear injunction is that the marriage bed should be undefiled if you know what that means

Agreed. Why did you say that sex between two unmarried people becomes marriage in God's sight?

OLAADEGBU:


Are you saying premarital sex is right?

i'm sayin that pre marital sex is wrong. Very very wrong

God bless you my sister. So Goshen and his WoF movement are on their own.

Marriage Is Honourable...

"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge" (Hebrews 13:4)

Ever since the divine union of Adam and Eve, the institution of marriage has been between a man and woman. However, the "bed" has often been defiled, with all kinds of sexual perversions. Homosexual behaviour is often mentioned in the Bible, and always explicitly condemned, even being called an "abomination" by the Lord (Leviticus 18:22). Adultery, fornication, prostitution, incest, bestiality, and all forms of sexual practice outside of heterosexual marriage relations are also condemned. Indeed, "God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions" (Ecclesiastes 7:29).

Yes, but times have changed, we are told. The so-called "gay" life-style is now a normal option, they say, and even "same-sex" marriages are acceptable. Premarital sex, as well as adultery, are very common today, all over the world, often even impacting Christian homes and churches. Indeed, the world has changed!

But God has not changed, and His commandments and purposes have not changed. "For I am the Lord, I change not" (Malachi 3:6) He says. In the last book of the Bible, the glorified Christ said that "the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death" (Revelation 21:8.)

The Greek word for "whoremongers," incidentally, includes anyone who practices or promotes illicit sex of any kind and the Bible says that "whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." However, God will forgive and purge away any of these sins when they are repudiated and Christ is accepted as Saviour. HMM
