Not necesarily. Fornication could mean having multiple partners at the same time, or casual sex. Giving every man a wife would solve this problem. I think this statement was directed at people who couldn't limit their sex to one partner, and so the marriage was in there to tie the people to one sexual partner. Some people are prefectly capable of having just one sexual partner outside the bonds of marriage.

This is so funny to me. People don't argue whether or not lying is a sin because the Bible clearly states "Thou shalt not bear false witness." Don't you think if sex before marriage was such an extreme sin it would have been stated more clearly and we wouldn't be having this debate? Most of the support against it comes from the words of Paul, which in my mind is not the same as the words of God or Jesus. True, it is divinely inspired, but Paul was not perfect, he was human. Usually when Paul wrote to communities, such as Corinth, condoning fornication, the communities had a reputation for having sin assemblies in the streets. That's pretty extreme, and I'm sure that's why Paul felt he had to address the problem
i agree

Firstly a dictionary says what a word currently means.
Meanings change along with how the population uses the words.

Not only that, porneia is no longer translated as fornication, due to it being inaccurate.
Porneia covers a variety of meanings.
So don't be looking into you KJV and pointing out "But it says fornication!"
That's using the definition being analysed as proof :S

So, understandably it's hard for the translators to choose which translation to use where,
and so use "sexual immorality", the closest translation we have.

But what constitutes as sexual immorality?

Well for that it's wise to look at Deuteronomy 22 and Leviticus 18.
Though these are Old Testament quotes, they show God's intent fairly well I think.
Leviticus 18, well, it's detailed to say the least. Not a mention of sex between two unmarried people.
Why?
Well the issue a guy having sex with a virgin is dealt with in Deuteronomy. They must marry.
There's no room for anyone following the rules to sleep around.

And to re-enforce that, just before it I think, it talks about a girl lying about her virginity.
Then upon being married being discovered to be lying, and should be stoned to death for her sin.
What was her sin? Promiscuity. The time is taken to emphasise this, yet the following line about premarital sex has no tone of wickedness about the act. The wickedness comes from not following the rule to then marry.

Instead the one flesh bond that should be shared between two until death do they part, has been spread among more than intended.

So then there's the question of "Ok well clearly promiscuity is a sin, but would it be a sin to have sex before marriage?"
If it were then wouldn't it have been clearly stated in the incredibly detailed Leviticus. Wouldn't there have been punishment in Deuteronomy? God didn't seem to care that it was done, but cared that once they did, they became married.

So, don't think "Oh yeah! I can have sex now!"
Unless you and the guy or girl you're with intend to marry, and understand the grave sin of having sex as a virgin an not marrying. Because if the future spouse is anyone other than those then you have been prmiscuous.
To have sex is a life long bond as strong as marriage to be with that person, after all, it is supposed to result in marriage.

And to finish off, to all you who think that people are trying to weasel their way out of the "difficult route of self-control",
with the excuse that "It just is."

Isaiah 19:13
Matthew 15:9

Don't condemn what God clearly didn't condemn.
He was precise about promiscuity being a grave sin, but also in the importance of the one flesh bond and that when it's created you must be with that person until death.

@trini girl
Greetings!

It is my belief that pre-marital sex is different from fornication.  The verb "to fornicate" is derived from the Greek word
korinthiazomai,a word which was derived from the city of Corinth, where promiscuity and sexual immorality abounded like no where else and the corinthians worshipped the goddess of love (eros), Aphrodite.

There were over 1,000 love-peddlers in the temple of Aphrodite, so sexual promisuity was the norm.

In Paul's letter to the Corinthians he admonishes them to flee fornication, meaning avoid to avoid sexually promiscuous behaviour, sleeping with love-peddlers, and multiple sex partners.

This is different from pre marital sex.

My point is, if you are committed to be married to someone, then having sex with that person does not mean you are a fornicator.

Although I do not condone sex with multiple partners, sex with your boyfriend or fiancee is fine, as long as you are both committed to each other and monogamous.

The floor is now open.

I will want you to explain which passage you got this "korinthiazomai" from.

you seem to have a very good argument. let us face, majority of those on this post have slept with a girl before marriage. just plain hypocrisy , that is the problem with the African. he would alwaya pretend to be what he is not.

i have always wondered is pre-marital sex is sin cos thre seems to be no biblical support for this but it suits us over here because from our rural backgrounds, the society has always frowned at pre-marital sex and appluaded virgins.

@ the Reverend; humanist? Nah!!

Whether you guys that are rationalising pre-marital sex like it or not God's standard remains the same: and there shall in no wise enter into that city any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie (Rev21:27). Wait for this: But the fearful, the 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. (Rev21:8 )

Greetings,

Cudos to Trini Girl!!!! I have been preaching this for a while now. Here's the thing; can anyone out there give biblical proof and please don't go to Webster dictionary please find a bible dictionary and when you are defining words like fornication and adultery, think about this, what was the meaning of these words during Moses' time? What did fornication mean to Solomon the man of so many wives? Noah Webster the creator of the original Webster Dictionary, was wrong when he deleted original meanings of base root words. So; Cudos to Trini Girl!!!!!!!!!

It becomes sin if they both are not going to marry.
It is like defiling another Adam's Eve.
God commanded if a man found a woman and met with her she must be his wife and must not divorce her for any reason except for a proven infidelity.
But I prefer after legal marriage

On the Divine Institution, Marriage: God Ordained, God Defined

by: brother Ken

Marriage ceremonies and traditions differ from society to society, culture to culture, and, age to age. It is a constantly changing ceremonial tradition in the eyes of men. To make proper Christian judgments and decisions in the areas of marriage, divorce and remarriage, one must fully understand and examine God’s definition of marriage and the purpose for which He established the institution. The Word clearly defines the guidelines which govern marriage.
Marriage is primarily designed so that a man and woman become one flesh. God said in Genesis 2:24,25
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
Notice the absence of any “wedding ceremony”. They become one flesh and that is it. While the teachings of many Puritanical Protestants and even the Roman Catholic church claim that sex is inherently evil, the first mention of marriage defines it as the sexual act of union between the man and the woman. It does not even mention children. God further elaborates that they, Adam and Eve, were naked and unashamed by their unclothedness. This flies in the face of any teaching that sin in the Garden of Eden was the act of disobedience to God that caused the fall.
On the contrary, sex was established as the definition of marriage and the purpose of marriage by God. Its placement in the Genesis account of the creation of Eve pointedly explains the creation of the help mate for Adam that would be one with Adam. The explanation in Genesis 2:21-23 says,
“And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

This explains that the creation of woman from man demands their union. They were created from the same flesh to be the same flesh.
Many cults have sought to make this God given sexual attraction evil. Some as Paul warned Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:3, even forbid people to marry or engage in marital sex. This most certainly seems to be done in order to enslave people and must be (as Paul warned) the doctrine of devils as it is a direct violation of God’s purpose. However, in order to demonstrate His definition of marriage and expound on it, Jesus, the Christ, spoke on the subject of the divine institution, marriage.
When the Pharisees asked our Lord a controversial question on divorce, He not only quoted what He had said in Genesis, but, added commentary on the law and the provision of divorce. First consider His answer. He starts by defining marriage from His Word in Genesis. In Matthew 19:3-6, we read
“The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, ‘Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?’ And he answered and said unto them,
‘Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh’. Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.’ What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.’ ”
So, first Jesus answers with the Word given in Genesis 2:25. He defines marriage from the Word. As Jesus is God, and is named as “The Word” in John 1:1, His explanation and interpretation of the Word given in the Old Testament is the ABSOLUTE basis for our understanding and interpretation of the Old Testament and law anywhere He explains it or quotes it. (Also, as John chapter 1 goes on to say that He created all things as He was in the beginning, one can fairly argue that the Word given in Genesis 2 was Jesus’ Word as He is the Word who created all things.) Therefore, marriage is defined by God as sexual union of a man and a woman. The statement of “They shall be one flesh” is established as the statement made by God and not a second statement by Adam. Jesus, the Christ, quotes “and they shall be one flesh” as the very statement of God and not man.
Re: Pre-Marital Sex Is Not Fornication by biblebased: 6:12pm On May 06, 2013
cont:

At this point many who have been socialized by tradition and worldly concepts of marriage will be reeling at this discussion and possibly railing against it. Therefore, it is necessary to point out other scriptures that drive home the divine institution and reveal how God views the statement, "they shall be one flesh" as the part of marital tradition that God accepts as a marriage ceremony. The fact that God views the sexual union between a man and a woman as marriage is further 'shown in the law concerning sexual intercourse between virgins in Deuteronomy' 22:28,29
“If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.”
Thus, as they have had sex, they are already married in God's eyes they need to make a formal declaration and fulfillment of the marriage contract. In this way everyone knows, they are bound to each other. This concept is confirmed by our Lord in the passage quoted above from Matthew’s gospel 19:5,6. He says,
“And said ‘For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh’. Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.’ What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
He indicates that God, Himself, joins the two as husband and wife when they unite sexually. This is NOT an interpretation of the Word. It is a direct quote of the Word of God. One must read what He said in Matthew again and again until it is written on their heart.
What a wonderful and upright society we would have in churches across the land if this truth about marriage were properly explained to young people. Abstinence teaching fails to stop sexual activity because it is NOT a divine concept. But, when we know that sex is marriage, it does give us a stronger answer to give when temptation to marry the wrong person arises. Because God recognizes the sexual union as marriage and even instructs us that man should not separate the couple, we know that we must refrain from sexual union with anyone that we do not want to marry
This concept of God actually nullifies the English concept of pre-marital sex. According to the Word there is no such thing as sex before marriage. There can be extra-marital sex (sex with someone other than one’s spouse), but, never any pre-marital sex. Paul references the spiritual nature of sex when he says in 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 ,
“Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.”
Paul admonishes the people of intercourse with prostitutes. He demonstrates how God views "couples that' have had sexual intercourse using the same statement of God from Genesis 2. He says that they, the Christian and the prostitute, are unified in the divine concept of marriage and are looked on as man and wife in the sight of God. This is the reason that Paul warns the people of illicit sexual relationships. These relationships undermine God’s system of marriage.
Paul also expounds on the spiritual-physical nature of the divine marriage of a couple after sexual intercourse in 1 Corinthians 7:14,
“For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.”
Paul explains that in an illicit relationship the Just are defiled by the unjust, but in a marital relationship the unjust are united with a member of the body of Christ and are set apart. Thus the spiritual-physical bond of sexual intercourse is fully revealed.
Before going on to a full discussion of our Lord’s commandments on divorce, we must look at the definition of fornication because many trying to evade the direct commandments and warnings of God try to hide behind the word. As there is a difference in the Hebrew word for adultery and the Greek word for adultery and we are referring to scriptures in the Old Testament Hebrew and the New Testament Greek, there are two words used for the same meaning in two different languages. Therefore, we will enter into a brief discussion of its etymology.

Fornication is the English equivalent of the Greek PORNEIA, πορνειαν, which comes from the Greek root, PORNE 1(prostitute), and would in its purest Greek form refer to sexual intercourse with a prostitute or prostitution. However, it is used as a complete word covering a multitude of sexual acts and uncleanness. Figuratively, it may be applied to spiritual adultery towards God. We employ the Greek root PORNE in English in such words as 'pornography' as the nonspecific root for all forms of sexual promiscuity and eroticism. This usage transcends all levels of sexual illicitness. This concept of PORNEIA comes from the Greek use of the word as a general term for all forms of sexual illicitness and lewdness. This is why the English translators dutifully translated it to the English word fornication which has the same open use as a “catch all” term. Webster’s Dictionary defines fornication to include every extra-marital sex act including incest. This shows its universal meaning as any sexual act outside of the sanctity of marriage with the obvious negative denotation as sexual impropriety.
The reason for this discussion is that when Jesus, the Christ, condemned adultery and other extra-marital acts, He used the catch all term PORNEIA which properly translates tofornication when He is speaking generally and adultery when He is speaking specifically. We know that adultery is the proper translation of PORNEIA when our Lord references sex between a married person and any person other than their spouse because adultery is the only classification of sex outside of a marriage. By definition, if a married person commits any sexual act with any person other than their spouse, it is adultery. This applies to such cases as that of the ex-president of the United States, Bill Clinton. His sexual act was by definition adultery whether it included intercourse or not. The specificity of adultery is its delineation of who the sexual act includes (non-spouse), NOT what sexual activity occurred.
Re: Pre-Marital Sex Is Not Fornication by biblebased: 6:15pm On May 06, 2013
This proper translation removes any loop hole that has been used by pastors teaching in err in the past. Some have taught that women cannot divorce a man for his adulterous acts. Some have taught that the first person one has sex with is NOT their spouse. Both are contrary to the scriptures that we have reviewed thus far. Now that we have established a couple myths and cleared up the meaning of fornication and adultery, let us address the issue of improper sex, extra-marital sex.
As marriage is defined as a man and a woman uniting sexually, there is no such thing as pre-marital sex. The worldly construct of pre-marital sex is a convenient way for sinful man to illegally divorce himself (pun definitely intended) from his first sexual union’s Biblical-spiritual obligations. Therefore, the only true sexual sin is that of extra-marital sex, sex with anyone outside of your marriage. We also call this adultery. Unfortunately, as we as Christians have allowed the government to get involved in marriage (people need laws on divorce so they can circumvent the divine law and get simple divorces free of divine interference), the definition of marriage has gone from being a divinely instituted sexual-spiritual union to that of a legal contract between two people. Therefore, much of the sexual impropriety in the world goes unacknowledged or improperly defined as pre-marital.
The problem with this construct of pre-marital sex is that it eliminates God’s law of marriage by trying to separate sex from marriage. This problem is a struggle between man’s rebellious sinful desires and God’s commandments on sex. Man wants to have his free sex and then settle into his legal sex. This is totally extra-Biblical. The Bible does not provide man with sin or justify man’s sin! The only provision for man’s sin in the Bible is the mercy of God through the death of His Son, Jesus. The reason that so many people have so many problems related to sex is that man wants his sin and his life. You CANNOT have both for “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).
If the Christians would teach marriage as does the Bible, many problems could be avoided. Unfortunately, weak Christians and fallen Christians have given in to the world’s sinful definitions in order to satisfy their own lusts. Instead of impacting the world with the truth of the Bible, they have perverted the true Biblical doctrine of marriage within the church to serve their own ends. The modern church must repent this sin and return to God’s Will and commandments on marriage. If they do, God will heal their hearts, their homes and their lands.
The Word of God does provide an answer for man’s sin in regard to marriage. The Ten Commandments which provide God’s moral law and give us an understanding of His Heart and Will, specifically forbad adultery (Exodus 20:14). Further answer was given when God ordained a bill of divorcement in Deuteronomy 24:1-4,
“When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.”
This passage provides several rules about marriage, divorce and remarriage. It gives us amazing insight into God’s Will for marriage and His rulings on what should be done after a spouse commits adultery.
Now the reader is asking, “Where do you see adultery in this passage?” Granted on first examination it would appear that this passage is very open to interpretation and makes allowance for divorce on almost any grounds. However, let God interpret it for us UNEQUIVICALLY. Examine again the answer of our Lord to the Pharisees that tempted Him in Matthew 19:3-9,
“The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, ‘Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?’ And he answered and said unto them,
Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh’. Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.’ What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.’
They say unto him, ‘Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?’ He saith unto them, ‘Moses because of the hardness of your heartssuffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marryanother, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.’ ”

Not only does our Lord explain why the bill of divorce was given, but, He expounds on the purpose of divorce. He also repeats the very context, continuity and fullness of Deuteronomy 24:2.
The Pharisees that came to the Christ to tempt Him were most likely of the school of Hillel who taught that the “uncleanness” in Deuteronomy included physical imperfections or bad temper found in the wife. However, Jesus, the Word, specifically explains that divorce on any grounds other than adultery is not His commandment and He makes no allowance for such grounds other than adultery. He goes on to expound on Deuteronomy by stating that a man who marries another woman after improperly divorcing his wife commits adultery. There is NO equivocation here. Jesus, the son of the Living God, the Word made flesh, God Almighty, left no neutral ground. There is only one allowance for divorce given by God. One must come to terms with the commandment given here.
Not only is what the Son of God said given to the Christian, but, it was also the very Word of God given to the Jewish adherent to the law. It was the explanation of the law given by God. We can make a spiritual assumption based on the spiritual mystery of marriage here. Marriage is the symbol of the relationship between the child of God and God. Revelations described the church, the believers, as the “Bride of Christ”. The Old Testament describes the children of God as espoused to Him. It warns them of spiritual fornication, idolatry. Yet, the children of God turned away over and over to idolatry and committed spiritual adultery against God. Yet, time and time again, God forgave this adultery and remained in the relationship with them as long as they would repent. He NEVER turned Israel out to another husband. The assumption is that ultimately, God expects that the adulterous party repent and be forgiven. However, as people are not divine and cannot have the limitless Grace of God, they are allowed to end a marriage and move on with their lives.
Re: Pre-Marital Sex Is Not Fornication by biblebased: 6:16pm On May 06, 2013
This brings one to the question, “How is adultery so destructive that it is a reason for divorce?” Well, that point is quite simple. As spiritual idolatry is having a relationship with another, false god, sexual unfaithfulness is entering into a type relationship that is exclusive to the marriage relationship. That is, as sex constitutes the divinely acknowledged marriage relationship, sex with another partner enters into an illicit marital relationship with an outside party. This effectively ends the exclusive definition of “they shall be one flesh.” There is no provision for “they three will be one flesh” or any such like. This does condemn the historical practices of marriage traditions in the Old Testament.
However, as God incarnate, Jesus, explained the way that He ordained marriage, that command supersedes tradition and history. The mistakes or sins of the early Israelites do not create a traditional loophole for any type of marriage that does not conform to the exact definition given by God Incarnate, when He addresses the issue directly. The mere fact that that explanation is provided three separate places and times by God alone (we are not counting Paul’s multiple references to this definition just God’s), points out its importance and solidity. Jesus, the Christ, even pointed out that Moses allowances were things that God tolerated for Moses’ sake but were not His Will. In Mark’s account of the same tempting of our Lord by the Pharisees, he gives even more details of His answer.
“And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, ‘Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?’ tempting him. And he answered and said unto them, ‘What did Moses commandyou?’ And they said, ‘Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.’ And Jesus answered and said unto them, ‘For the hardness of your heart he wroteyou this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.’ ” Mark 10:2-6
The Lord explained that while an allowance was made, it was actually made by Moses, not Him. He, then, goes on to reiterate that His original definition was immutable and unchanged. He expected one man and one woman to be one flesh. He could not be more clear in His speech. One finds often that our Lord answered the scoffers in His day as well as the arguments made by “modern” scoffers who would now argue against His direct commandments. He answers once and for all that the only ground is the only ground that He will accept and that if a man violates this ordinance and puts away his wife for any other reason taking a new wife, he is commiting adultery.
This points to the nature of the spiritual-sexual nature of the marriage union, indicating that the sexual union of man and wife lasts to the grave. If there is only one ground for divorce then logically marriage is for life. The reinforcement of this doctrine is found in Paul’s letters. Paul not only expounds on issues of marriage law, but, also reveals more about the mystery of the church’s marital relationship to Christ. Paul delineates the length of the marriage contract in 1 Corinthians 7:39,
“The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.”
In this passage, Paul is teaching directly on whether one should or should not marry. He is also explaining the right of a widow or widower to remarry. It is indisputable, direct teaching of the doctrine of marriage.
Paul also repeats this teaching in Roman 7:2-3, where he uses marriage as an example to dying to the law to live in the Spirit. He says of marriage,
“For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.”
There is no mistake on the teaching. There is complete continuity with the teachings given by God in Genesis and the Lord, Jesus, in the New Testament. He demonstrates the doctrine using the law showing there is no disparity of doctrine.
From these teachings of Paul we have a reiteration showing that marriage is a lifelong commitment. We see another reference to the fact that anyone marrying (having sex with one other than their spouse) is committing adultery. And, we have the provision that as in the case of adultery, a widow may take a new spouse upon the end of their marriage.
Paul gave eleven admonishes against fornication. He even went so far as to explain why fornication is so abhorrent to God and why it should not be named among the saints. In his explanation he reveals a powerful mystery as to the spiritual nature of sex. In 1 Corinthians 6:15-20, he is dealing with Christians that were caught up in horrendous adultery which violated the Old Testament commandment that a man could not take his step mother as a wife. He wrote,
“Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid. What? Know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body? For two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.”
Here Paul reveals that sexual intercourse is a spiritual act not just a physical one. It is such an act that it unites one spiritually with the other person. He elaborates on this subject in the same book, 7:14-16.
“For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
Here Paul explains that an unsaved spouse (and their children) is sanctified to God by sexual union with the Christian spouse. This is quite a powerful statement. He further exhorts a Christian to strive in faithful patient for the salvation of the unbelieving partner. Therein, Paul explains the only other provision in the Word for divorce. He says that as the unbelieving partner is dead in their sins, if they depart and do not return, the Christian spouse is no longer bound to them in marriage.
In this chapter prior to these verses, Paul commented again reinforcing God’s stand on marriage and divorce (notably verses 10 and 11).
“And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, ‘Let not the wife depart from her husband: but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to herhusband: and let not the husband put away his wife.’ ”
There is absolute continuity and unity of doctrine on marriage given us by God in His Word. He provides ample direct commands and explanations of the same throughout the Bible. All the major sources (God the Father, God the Son, Moses, and Paul) give the same consensus (with the exception of Moses whom the Lord corrected). All point to marriage as
1. An institution ordained by God, Himself.
2. Defined as one woman having sexual intercourse with one man becoming one flesh.
3. A spiritual mystery relationship between the couple.
4. A relationship that lasts until death.
5. A union that is defiled and broken by adultery.
6. A union that can only be put aside in the case of physical or spiritual adultery.
7. A joining of two individuals by God that should not be separated by man.
We also see those constructs and doctrines of men which cannot fit into the marriage doctrine given by God. The institution of marriage given by God shows that
1. Sex is neither evil nor brought about the fall. It was given by God as the establishment of a marriage.
2. All sex is either marriage or adultery. Therefore, there is no such thing as “pre-marital” sex.
3. People cannot be “doubly” married. They are either remarried according to God’s provisions or they are caught up in adultery.
4. Divorce is not granted on the grounds of incompatibility, falling out of love or any reason other than physical or spiritual adultery. Therefore, Christians divorcing without Biblical cause are sinning against God.
5. Christians who properly divorce a spouse can remarry another Christian without condemnation.
6. No Christian or sinner can be condemned for remarrying after the death of their spouse as there is no marriage after death.
7. Marriage cannot be between members of the same sex or between more than two people.
As God ordained and defined marriage in the beginning of His Word, all those who disagree with this construct, disagree with God, Almighty. In a day of New Age serving of the lust of the flesh, many endeavor to redefine marriage to suit their own lusts. Such are absolute heresies. Homosexual relationships seeking religious acceptance and validation attempt to pervert the entirety of the Bible. Divorce for incompatibility is destroying the church and the nuclear family. Unfortunately, we see a time where no one seems capable of keeping their word or accepting the clear revelation and commandments of God. Of such our Savior spoke,
“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believethnot is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and menloved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Buthe that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:17-21
Re: Pre-Marital Sex Is Not Fornication by Jenpoet(f): 12:26pm On May 19, 2013
This might help:


There is no Hebrew or Greek word
used in the Bible that precisely refers to sex
before marriage. The Bible undeniably
condemns adultery and sexual immorality, but
is sex before marriage considered sexually
immoral? According to 1 Corinthians 7:2 , “yes”
is the clear answer: “But since there is so much
immorality, each man should have his own
wife, and each woman her own husband.” In
this verse, Paul states that marriage is the
“cure” for sexual immorality. First Corinthians
7:2 is essentially saying that, because people
cannot control themselves and so many are
having immoral sex outside of marriage, people
should get married. Then they can fulfill their
passions in a moral way.
Since 1 Corinthians 7:2 clearly includes sex
before marriage in the definition of sexual
immorality, all of the Bible verses that
condemn sexual immorality as being sinful also
condemn sex before marriage as sinful. Sex
before marriage is included in the biblical
definition of sexual immorality. There are
numerous Scriptures that declare sex before
marriage to be a sin ( Acts 15:20; 1 Corinthians
5:1 ; 6:13 , 18; 10:8 ; 2 Corinthians 12:21 ;
Galatians 5:19 ; Ephesians 5:3 ; Colossians 3:5 ; 1
Thessalonians 4:3 ; Jude 7). The Bible promotes
complete abstinence before marriage. Sex
between a husband and his wife is the only
form of sexual relations of which God approves
(Hebrews 13:4 ).
Far too often we focus on the “recreation”
aspect of sex without recognizing that there is
another aspect—procreation. Sex within
marriage is pleasurable, and God designed it
that way. God wants men and women to enjoy
sexual activity within the confines of marriage.
Song of Solomon and several other Bible
passages (such as Proverbs 5:19 ) clearly
describe the pleasure of sex. However, the
couple must understand that God’s intent for
sex includes producing children. Thus, for a
couple to engage in sex before marriage is
doubly wrong—they are enjoying pleasures not
intended for them, and they are taking a
chance of creating a human life outside of the
family structure God intended for every child.
While practicality does not determine right from
wrong, if the Bible's message on sex before
marriage were obeyed, there would be far
fewer sexually transmitted diseases, far fewer
abortions, far fewer unwed mothers and
unwanted pregnancies, and far fewer children
growing up without both parents in their lives.
Abstinence is God’s only policy when it comes
to sex before marriage. Abstinence saves lives,
protects babies, gives sexual relations the
proper value, and, most importantly, honors
God.

"Single Sex" is NOT Fornication.

Clearly NOT!!! The Bible defines the word correctly, Dictionary does NOT. Most others do NOT. They Base it on Wrong "traditions of Men".


Dictionaries explain only how people use or misuse a word at the time. It is based on the “tradition of men”. Sometimes right, and sometimes wrong. In this case it is wrong and misused and taken out of context with the whole Bible. The Bible itself defines the word Fornication correctly, the Dictionary does not. Compare 1 Cor 10:8 to Num 25: 1-9.

Compare 1 Cor 10:8 to Num 25: 1-9, This clearly shows that fornication is NOT just merely “single sex” or “sex outside of “one man, one woman” marriage, but it is a lot more serious, it is a major violation of the most important first command.

Fornication is using your God given sex freedom, which God gave to all creation at creation, including humans, but NOT to worship a pagan fertility god. One of the Baal pagan gods which was worshiped all over the place in all Bible times as a major pagan religion, during all the Bible times, both OT and NT.
God is Very Pro Nude Pro Sex I Prove It

http://Inkaboutit4u.com God is Very Pro Sex Pro Polygamy


In the worship of this fertility pagan god they would have a sex orgy to worship the pagan fertility god and they would be promised blessings from this pagan fertility god of good farm crops and lots of fertile animals giving them a lot more livestock.
Also, they themselves would also be fertile.


Also, if they got pregnant because of this sex orgy worship, and then offer that baby as a living sacrifice to this Baal fertility pagan god, they would get even more promise blessings. These Blessings would make them a lot more money.

In Corinth, Christian men, were using there God given sexual freedom, but Paul is reminding them that this God given sexual freedom is not to be used to join in with the pagans to worship their pagan fertility god, which God, got very angry when they did the same thing in the OT, in Num 25:1-9, and God had 23,000 to 24,000 killed. Because this was a very serious violation of the first commandment, “ NOT to worship any other gods other then the one creator God.

Through out the whole Bible you see this worship of this Baal fertility god worship. Both OT and NT. Where ever the Jewish Hebrews went, all their neighbors worship this pagan fertility god. Very popular pagan fertility god. This was one of many Baal gods. Different places would call them by different names.

Remember that we are missing the letter written to Paul explaining all the detail of what is going on. We only have the return letter from Paul to the Corinth without the details of the problem.

In Corinth Paul makes a suggestion that because there are over 2000 pagan fertility temple prostitutes seducing men and women to come join them in their pagan fertility worship orgy, that the Christian single men and women just get married to help avoid the temptation to join in the pagan fertility sex orgies worship and that both husband and wife means all the sexual need of each other daily to avoid temptation to join in the pagan fertility god orgy worship. As they did in Num 25: 1-9 and many other places in the Bible.

Inkaboutit4u.com reply:

This clearly shows he is NOT called a fornicator here at all. The least he has to do is pay the “bride price”. The most is to pay the bride price and marry her. He could marry her and many others if he wanted.
But this would be a violation of the father’s authority over his daughter. A man Should NOT have sex with any women under the father’s authority unless the father gives permission.

[b]Samson had sex with a prostitute
(probably many times, nothing wrong with it) and it was NOT Fornication, NOT a sin. Sex with a non pagan worshiping prostitute was NOT fornication and NOT a sin. .

But today per the wrong , misused man made dictionary definition he would have had adultery many times and fornication many times Because, they are using the wrong definitions for fornication and adultery.

Samson was full of the Holy Spirit before and after he had unprotected sex with a non-temple prostitute. The Holy Spirit left him after he disobeyed God by cutting his long hair. His problem was NOT sex but marrying an enemy, ungodly idol worshipping women and letting her cut his hair.

Judges 16:1 NLT “One day Samson went to the Philistine city of Gaza and spent the night with a prostitute.”

Judah

had sex and a baby with a prostitute
(his daughter in law) and that was NOT a sin at all. NOT fornication, NOT adultery.
But today, per the wrong , misused dictionary definition Judah would have had done fornication. But he did NOT. Because, they are using the wrong definitions for fornication and adultery.

Judah had regular unprotected sex with prostitutes. He did NOT think it was a sin. He feels he did sin by NOT giving Tamara to his third son to have sex with her.

King David

But today per the wrong , misused dictionary definition King David would have had adultery over 25 times and fornication over 25 times, but neither is true. Because, they are using the wrong definitions for fornication and adultery.

2 Samuel 12:8 NLT I gave you his house and his wives and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. And if that had NOT been enough, I would have given you much, much more. (unlimited sex partners over a life time give to all creation at creation.)

They were NOT hung up sexually, they just enjoyed themselves. Of course, today, they would go to jail and maybe kicked out of the church and maybe divorced, if they had wives.

Because she won the sex contest, sex out side of marriage, (NOT fornication,) she later on became queen and later on, saved all the Jews from death. God designed it for her to win this sex contest. As a King queen she would have sex with anyone the King desired. (NOT adultery, NOT fornication.

But today per the wrong , misused dictionary definition, Esther, would have had fornication many times Because, they are using the wrong definitions for fornication.

Polygamy

was always popular when ever the Jews ruled over themselves. In the NT they were being ruled by the Romans and had to live under some Roman restrictions. But there were still polygamy in the NT and there is NOThing in the OT or the NT saying that it is wrong and a statement that God, himself, gave Dave all the wives he wanted. In the NT in one church the elders had to have just one wife because they were too busy taking care of the welfare program that they did NOT have time to take care of many wives and many children. It was NOT a sin, just a job requirement for that special job. Just another Bible verse taken out of context. .

But today per the wrong , misused dictionary definition all polygamists would have had adultery many times and fornication many times, Because, they are using the wrong definitions for fornication and adultery.

Adultery

against God was the worshipping of aNOTher "deity" and turning your back away from God. Fornication was the sexually using your body in the worship of another deity. The Cultic Temple prostitutes would seduce the men to come into the temple to worship a fertility god, deity and they would then get the promise of good farm crops. Some times, some would get pregnant and they give the human baby as a human sacrifice to the deity, god. (1Cor10:8 Num. 25:1-9). Adulterous nation is a nation that turned their backs on God. nothing to do with sexuality.

Adultery,

It was a sin against the man NOT God, a married women should NOT have unprotected sex with aNOTher man with out permission from her husband or master, because this may cause an offense to him or unprotected sex may cause a baby and could NOT keep the blood line or birth line clear. Genealogies were very important in the OT. Jealousy of the other man because maybe he would try to steal his wife away from him. Women were property owned by the master or owner. In the OT, masters did give wives to there servants for 7 years and if the servant got their freedom on the 7th year then the master would give the wife to someone else.

God is very pro-sex by being pro-polygamy

God creation build in instinct for 98% including humans, to have many sex partners. Most Godly men had sex with many women. King David the man after God’s own heart had 25 to 100 wives and God would have give him as many (unlimited) sex partner as he wanted.

2 Samuel 12:8
I gave your master's house to you, and your master's wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more.

King David

only real sin was taking aNOTher man’s wife with out his permission. God gave David all his many wives and would have given him as many (unlimited) as he wanted.

King Solomon

had over 1000 wives and concubines and unlimited amount of virgin available to him. The bad thing he did was to let some of his pagan wives worship there pagan gods.

Song of Solomon 6:8There may be sixty wives, all queens, and eighty concubines and unnumbered virgins available to me.
God attitude is the same for today also.

When ever Hebrews rule over themselves they always had polygamy and legal non-cultic pagan temple prostitutes.

In the NT and other time they were ruled over by Non-Hebrews they had to follow ungodly rules. Both Pagan Egyptians and Pagan Roman did NOT want the Hebrews to populate too much in fear they would get too many and over power them. God is pro-polygamy because God wanted them to out number the pagans.

God made law that at times would force polygamy even if people did NOT want it. If they when to war and a man had 7 bothers and all 7 died in battle, then he would be forced into polygamy and marry all 7 wives.

Gen 38 That was God’s law. God is very pro-sex with many partners, pro-polygamy. By God’s creation and by God made laws. NOT adultery. NOT fornication.

In Ex 21:4 one boss man lets another servant man borrow one of his wives to have sex with as an employee benefit.
The first man always is the owner of the wife and the second man is never the owner of the master’s wife but has lots of sex with his wife, even it is ok to get the masters wife pregnant. But the owner of the his wife keeps both his wife and his wife’s children when the second man leaves the boss’s employment.

This is NOT Adultery nor any sin at all. NOT Fornication.

But today, per the wrong , misused dictionary definition, They would have had fornication many times, Because, they are using the wrong definitions for fornication and Adultery.

Exodus 21:3, 4
If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
Many Concubines was God’s reward to Hebrews that fight good in battle. The more wives you had the greater honor.
God reward both soldiers and priests with concubines or many sex partners. God’s reward. God is pro-sex with many sex partners as a reward from God.
Numbers 31:25 The Lord said to Moses, 26 "You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the community are to count all the women and animals that were captured. 27 Divide the spoils equally between the soldiers who took part in the battle and the rest of the community. 28 From the soldiers who fought in the battle,….. 31 So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses. 32 The plunder remaining from the spoils that the soldiers took was 675,000 sheep, 33 72,000 cattle, 34 61,000 donkeys 35 and 32,000 women who had never slept with a man. (they used sex to worship their pagan sex god. God wanted all women that did NOT worship the pagan sex god.)

NOT Fornication. NOT Adultery.

But today, per the wrong , misused dictionary definition, They would have had fornication many times, Because, they are using the wrong definitions for fornication and Adultery.

God attitude is same today.

Very pro-nudity and very pro-sex. Many religious leaders take many Bible text out of proper context to mislead you about God’s attitude about nudity and sexuality. The Bible can be taken out of context but God’s creation is very clear. God is very pro-nudity and pro-sex proven by his creation and that is clear.

They take 1 Cor 6 & 7 out of the proper context. Paul is just suggesting that because the men are tempted to have sex with the pagan temple prostitutes they should have at least one wive to help meet their sexual needs instead of being tempted to join in worshipping the fertility sex page god with the pagan prostitutes. Men had sexual freedom in both OT and NT to have sex with single girls, but NOT to join them in sex orgies to worship their pagan sex gods. Compare Number 25: 1-9 and 1Cor 10:8. It is NOT against man sexual freedom but against join sex worship with pagan prostitutes (there was over 2000 pagan prostitutes in Corinth alone.)

1 Cor 10:8
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Fornication Is NOT single sex or NOT pre-marital sex at all.

With their wrong "tradition of Men" definition for fornication the create a NEW PLAN OF SALVATION.!!!!

[url] http://inkaboutit4u.com/?p=Web_Pages_List[/url]

Instead of knowing Christians for their love, they know us by a list anti-nudity and anti-sexual rules, and by who they hate,

[b] [color=#990000]They hate sexual freedom based on their wrong “tradition of Men” sexual definitions. If you try hard to apply there “Tradition of men” sexual definition to all the verse in the Bible they do not fit. [b]The “Tradition of men” wrong sexual definition create many contradictions and Change the Plan of Salvation.
[/b]

Because of there wrong Definition for fornication, they change the plan of salvation, to say, you have to aaccept Christ as personal Savior PLUS be anti sexual freedom.

Fornicators do not go to heaven per the Bible. So if you use the Church's wrong definition for fornication, you end up sending everyone who has sex out side the one man, one female marriage [b]to hell. (maybe over 80%++ population, including 80% so called "Christians". All because they have the wrong definition for fornication. There definition for fornication is clearly 100% wrong. [/b] Common sense tells you that something is wrong here.


They also want to tell you that there are 10 different meanings for the word fornication, which is totally wrong. Again common sense tells you something is wrong with this.

I discovered the one and only correct definition for fornication by correctly studying the Whole Bible in correct context. By letting the Bible definite the word, you end up with the correct definition, that will fit all verses and creates no contradiction and does not change the plan of salvation in any way. Also has one definition only, not 10 different meaning.


I discovered the correct definition for fornication from[b] 1 Cor 10:8[/b] Where Paul tell the Corinth Christians that they are doing fornication just like the Jewish people in the past did and 23,000 died.

Then when you go back and read Nu 25:1-9 you discover what the meaning of fornication is. In Nu 25: 1-9 in context, describes the definition for Fornication per St. Paul.

The correct definition is Nu 25: 1-9 describes the people both single and married joining in with the worship of a fertility pagan god which part of the worship was a sex orgy to worship the pagan fertility god. For given the promise of good farm crops, more reproductive animals, and more human productivity. All which will get lot more income.

The major issues here is the worship of this pagan fertility god was a major violation of the first commandment ofGod. This makes God very angry. God told them to never worship any God but him because HE is the only true GOD, there are none others.

Also, Check out:[url] http://inkaboutit4u.com/?p=Web_Pages_List[/url]


http://inkaboutit4u.com/?p=Fornication_Definition_Expose_Wrong_Definition


The correct definition of the word “fornication”, Bible defined, is found in Number 25. Paul in 1 Cor 10:8 used the word, "fornication" and defines the word “fornication” by referring back to Number 25, which describes the meaning of "fornication" correctly.

Fornication defined As using your, God given sexual freedom, (God gave all creation sexual freedom at creation), to the joining in with sex orgy to worship the pagan fertility god, one of Baal's many pagan gods of that day, in hope of getting better farm crops and more fertile animals and personal fertile to have lots of Children, hoping to earn a lot of money as a results.

1 Corinthians 10:8
“Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. “
Numbers 25:1
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom () with the daughters of Moab.
25:2
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
25:3
And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
25:9And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.


The man made Bible dictionaries only reflex how people use or misuse a word and has a wrong and misleading definition.
The Bible, itself, clearly defines this word correctly for us. (not the corrupt man made dictionary.)

At creation God gave all creation sexual freedom to have many sex partners over a life time to all creation at creation include humans. King David 2 Sam 12:8, King Solomon SOS 6:8 "unlimited sex partner" given at creation to all creation by God.

Men sexual freedom was limited only by Adultery and "Fornication"by not using sexual freedom to have sex as part of worship to a pagan fertility god as we see fornication in Both the OT and NT in Numbers 25:1-9 and 1 Cor 10:8.

Fornication was in the whole Bible time both OT and NT times a major problem in a major religion of the Bible times.
They were surrounded by Baal fertility pagan god worshipers in both OT and NT.

Fornication Described in both OT Numbers 25: 1-9 and in NT 2 Cor 10:8.

Nu 31:17 shows God is very pro-polygamy even with young pagan girls is OK, BUT NOT OLD pagan women which joined in with the pagan fertility pagan god worship sex orgy and are set in their pagan fertility god thinking and pagan fertility god worshiping ways.

In Nu 31:17 God gave 32,000 ”pagan young girls from the pagan families, as concubines to Israelite' s that they did NOT join in the pagan fertility god sex orgy worship of the fertility pagan god, part of the many gods of Baal worship.
Nu 31:17
31:17 "Now kill all the boys . And kill every woman who has slept with a man, (join in worship pagan fertility god sex orgies to worship pagan god as in Nu 25: 1-9) but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."

(virgins that proven that they did not join in worship pagan fertility god sex orgy part of Baal worship to pagan fertility god) (From the NIV Bible, Numbers 31:17)"

Baal worship had many pagan gods: sun god, moon god, many other gods, one of them was a Fertility pagan god where in worship by having a sex orgy to worship the fertility god to get promise of good farm crop and lots of fertility in crops, animals, and themselves be fertile. More fertility means lot more money.

If wives join in sex with others without the husband's permission ahead of time, would be adultery. Wife swapping is ok, if with permission from husband or father by mutual agreement mutual permission honoring his authority over his owned women (wives or daughters or concubines).

At creation God gave all creation sexual freedom to have many sex partners over a life time to all creation at creation include humans. King David 2 Sam 12:8, King Solomon SOS 6:8 unlimited sex partner given at creation to all creation by God.

Two limitations to the sexual freedom: No fornication (defined above) and no adultery (honor the man authority over his owned women) but wife swapping is ok that is not adultery, but done by mutual agreement. Or loaning your wife to another man is ok and not adultery. Adultery is without any mutual agreement or mutual permission.

Women sexual freedom is limited by male authority over her. Husbands or fathers can give her as much sexual freedom as they want to. Like wife swapping, or “open marriage” or letting her have sex with a friend with permission. If no male authority over her then she also would have unlimited sexual freedom as the all other were given at creation.

1 Corinthians 10:8
“Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. “
Numbers 25:1
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom () with the daughters of Moab.
25:2
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
25:3
And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
25:9And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

Fornication

Fornication was the using of your body to have sex with a cultist pagan temple prostitute join in pagan sex orgy worship another pagan fertility god, deity. Giving your mind and body to worship another pagan deity. To worship a pagan fertility god so they could have the promise to get good farm crops.

God designed sexuality and said it was very good. What is bad is using your body sexuality to worship a pagan fertility god and having sex with women who are worshiping pagan fertility idols and other pagan deities. This make God very angry.
Compare, 1 Cor 10:8 to Numbers 25:1-9 This is what Paul was referring to.

1 Cor. 10:8Neither let us commit fornication, (“Fornication” or “porneia” or “sexual immoral”) as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Fornication is clearly described in Nu 25. Whichis where Paul is referring to Fornication.
Numbers 25:9And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand
NU 25:1And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

Re: Pre-Marital Sex Is Not Fornication by inkaboutit4u(m): 11:51pm On Apr 27, 2017
Fornication Does NOT have 10 different meanings like they want to tell you.

Also, Check out: http://inkaboutit4u.com/?p=Web_Pages_List

People or man made dictionaries want to say ‘fornication” mean many different things. This is NOT true. They want one word, fornication” to mean 10 different sexual things, this is wrong and NOT true and shows they do NOT know what they are talking about. They are being intentionally misleading you to have you think any thing sexual is "fornication", it is clearly NOT.

Paul clearly defines “fornication” as misusing your God given sexual freedom given to all creation at creation, (2 Sam 12:8, SOS 6:8, creation story in Gen 1) misusing by joining in the pagan worship of a fertility god sex orgy as worship to this pagan fertility god so they will get more blessing in crops and more animal reproduction so they can make more money, that is the one and only meaning for “fornication” and it is Paul’s definition in 1 Corinthians 10:8 and Nu 25: 1-9 and Nu 31.

In Nu 31 proof that a female did NOT do “fornication” was if she was a very young virgin girl, because all pagan women would join in the pagan worship of the pagan fertility god sex orgy, but if they were very young and still virgin then that means they did not join into the pagan worship sex orgy to worship this fertility pagan god. They killed all women who join in the worship of this pagan fertility god just like they kill 23,000 – 24,000 Jewish Hebrews who joined in the pagan worship of the fertility pagan god sex orgy pagan worship in Nu 25: 1-9 compare to 1 Cor 10:8.

Incest is NOT fornication, it is incest with its own definition. During “fornication” they could be doing incest. But incest does NOT equal or mean fornication. That would be fornication plus incest together, each with there own definition.

1 Corinthians 5:1

5:1 “It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.”

In 1 Cor 5:1 Paul uses the word “fornication”. Paul Defines the word “fornication” in 1 Cor 10:8 as joining in the pagan worship of the fertility pagan god. Paul did not use the word adultery or incest but use fornication. Therefore the man must have had sex with his father wife without his father permission while doing fornication or during joining in with the worship of the fertility god. He would have been doing both adultery, incest, and fornication. But fornication does not mean it is adultery and incest. All have their separate definitions of their own.

A special note about 1 Cor 5:1 we do NOT have the letter that the Corinth Church wrote to Paul in Jail explaining the special details. We are missing the details. We can only guess what was in the details in the letter written to Paul. Paul and the Corinth Church knew the details we Do NOT. We have to guess.

1 Corinthians 10:8
10:8 “Neither let us commit fornication , as some of them committed , and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.”


Numbers 25:1-9

1 And Israel abode in Shittim,
and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods:
and the people did eat,
and bowed down to their gods
.

3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor:
and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.


4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.


6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand

8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.


Nu 31: 15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive ?
[b]16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, (Nu 25: 1-9) and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. (23,000 to 24,000 killed)

17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have NOT known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. …..
35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.




Adultery is NOT fornication, it is adultery with its own definition. But during doing “fornication” they could in addition be doing adultery with another man wife without the husband permission. Each one has its own definition. But “fornication is NOT adultery, just because the person is doing adultery and fornication at the same time. Separate definitions for each word.

Masturbation is NOT “fornication” it is masturbation with its own definition. But during doing “fornication” a person could be masturbation, but that does NOT mean masturbation is “fornication” or part of “fornication definition. They have there own separate definitions and both could be done at the same time.

Two married people, husband and wife, could be doing “fornication” and that is evil.

Homosexual is NOT fornication. But during doing fornication Gays could be having sex. This does NOT mean homosexual is fornication. Each word has its own definition and are NOT the same thing at all.

Prostitution is NOT “fornication” it is separate with a separate definition and NOT the same thing. But during “fornication” a person could be having sex with a prostitute. But that does NOT mean that prostitution is “fornication.” It has its own definition.

Even in today's modern times If you believe a pagan god called evolution which created all thing, and is all powerful and is every where at all time you are making a god out of evolution you are worshiping evolution as a creator god. This is the same type of the they were doing with their pagan fertility god, they believe this pagan fertility god created life and sex and sexual enjoyment and everything to do with sexual reproduction in the world. Worshiping this made up pagan god is “fornication” type of thing.


Muslims worship 2 idols, located in Mecca.That is why they face Mecca to pray. In Mecca, One of the 2 idols is a Black Stone Meteorite.

Muslim do a similar type thing. They said there made up, Allah, god is the creator god of all things and NOT the Jewish, Christian Creator God, Jehovah God, of the Jewish and Christian Bible. Hebrew, Jews and Christians would call any other god, a man made pagan anti- Jehovah God made up god that is NOT real at all, and did NOT create anything at all , and is a total lie.

So a Muslim having sex believing and worshiping their man made, Allah, god would be doing “fornication” saying their, Allah, god created all thing, and created sexuality, and sexual enjoyment, and sexual reproduction. Same type of thing the other pagan gods did during their worship of their Baal's fertility pagan god, but they would be more public about it, and more sexual active in their Baal's pagan fertility god temples.

* Prostitution (Today's Prostitution/ordinary prostitution) in general is not a sin! God/YHWH/The Most High of Israel, within the entire Old Testament, never ban & never eternally hated ordinary prostitution as he showed complete apathy towards it as he was only concerning the stability of the children of Israel especially in the BCE era when he placed "limits" on the practice of ordinary prostitution (Leviticus Chapter 15, Numbers 5:11-31, Leviticus 19:29, Leviticus Chapter 20 & Deuteronomy 23:17 - 18 w/ Deuteronomy 23:1 - 6)
- God/YHWH/The Most High of Israel (In the wholeness of the entire Old Testament) never wanted all of mankind to be sexually neurotic monogamous-only people at all as Biology itself & History 101 tells you the case!
- Nowhere in the Ten Commandments (Exodus Chapter 20) even states ordinary prostitution as as a transgression whatsoever or even mentions a tittle about it.
- Nowhere in the Old Testament states a "universal ban" against ordinary prostitution!
- Paul of Tarsus is not a lawmaker whatsoever or even a befriended person of the Ancient Roman Empire! The apostle Paul is not God/YHWH/The Most High of Israel!
* Free Sex Between Singles was never a sin in the 1st place since God/YHWH/The Most High of Israel originally wanted Mankind (Before Genesis Chapter 3 & even before Noah) to be sexually polygamous buttnaked people with no shame at all in the Garden of Eden place which was a paradise! The hate towards "Free Sex Between Singles" was created secretly by the Vatican w/ The Jesuits through exploration of the Middle English dialect development & Norse Mythology!
* Masturbation/Sexual Self-Stimulation is not wicked at all whatsoever! There is no evidence at all in that makes Masturbation a sin;
- Leviticus 15:16 - 18 (The only piece of legitimate scripture in the Old Testament that references things such as masturbation) only requires a simple wash up which it only concerns the ancient Israelites & by the advent of the NT Messiah/Jesus, that particular is no longer relevant!
- As of the advent of the NT Messiah according to the New Testament, Lev 15:16 - 18 along with the whole of Leviticus Chapter 15 is irrelevant!
* Owning concubines was never wicked acts against God/YHWH/The Most High at all since it was never evil within the 10 commandments or even the entire-ness of the Torah (Genesis - Deuteronomy)! A man having more than 1 wife (or other words, having 1 main wife plus 1 or more sub-wives) never angered God/YHWH/The Most High of Israel at all & even The sons of Aaron aka Levite Priesthood members can obtain female concubines (Numbers Chapter 32 & Judges Chapter 19)
* Incest is only evil within the realm of The Nation of Israel & not evil universally due to special stipulations and for keeping The Nation of Israel's genetic lineages "clean as a whistle"!
- The Middle East today is the most dangerous area in the planet to be caught doing incestual sexual intercourse
- The USA states with the harshest punishments on Incest are Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, District of Columbia, Georgia, and Nevada!
* Pornography/Porn/Professional Pornography is never evil in general whatsoever! There are literally no instance, Within the Old Testament, that signify Today's Pornography as "wicked & sinful" [/b]

- The English Language never existed in 1st Century AD at all
- Exodus Chapter 20 - Deuteronomy 31:26 was almost a millennium before Neo-Babylon (Nebuchadnezzar II's Babylon) was even formed & even before King Saul was even born!
- The modern common definitions for "fornication, adultery & whoredom" never existed at all prior to middle English development!
- The Hebrew words used to identity prostitutes & holy prostitutes are H#2181 - Zanah & H#6948 - kodeshah/qadeshah
- Jesus Christ/Yeshua/NT Messiah died near within the 1st half of the 1st Century AD on only Northeast Africa at Jerusalem of the Judea Providence!
- Churches was non-existent within the BCE era & even the 1st Century AD period!
- White wedding dresses, wedding rings, pastors, wedding conceptions, tuxedos, "wedding licenses", or even the "legal age of consent" concept never fully existed within the BCE period & even in the early stages of Dark Age Europe!
- Job (The main male character of The Book of Job) is never a law maker whatsoever! Job is never Jesus, God/YHWH/The Most High of Israel, King David, King Solomon or Moses! Just a plain ordinary human being!
