I'm not religious but I think it's okay.. sex, marital or premarital is not a sin as long as it involves two consenting adults of the opposite sex

is it a sin to fornicate?

A man or woman that is born of God cannot continue to live a sinful life. It is not about asking for forgiveness of sin, it is about been bornagain. Even if you ask for forgiveness and you are not bornagain you will still end up in hell.



1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,


5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.


5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.


The solution to your sin problem is Jesus Christ

Is it a sin to fornicate?

chisco82:
Your answer is Eee=Yes..
I hope you don't fornicate again after that,
"Romans 6:1 KJV
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"
But wait oo, idikwa sophisticated, you carry your Bible and also consult Amadioha?

Do you fornicate after reading Romans 6vs 1?

Did the Holy Spirit pray after fornicating with Mary?

Becarefull with what you say so that you don't provoke the wrath of God upon yourself.

vonlogon:


If it has become a norm, and you know its fornication, help her by not doing it in the first place, its guilt that is driving her to her knees. The matter of prayer cannot be viewed from the angle of right or wrong because we are not God.

uhmm, it is actually because the prayer of a sinner is an ABOMINATION unto God!!

so Op there you have your answer.

Enuose242:
a

Bruv he without sin should cast the first stone.. Besides God answers prayers if you call him 1000 times he would answer irregardless of the sins commited

Stop this funny joke! We as Christians should pray conscientiously. And unless an individual bible trained conscience is dampen or suppressed with numerous sinful acts, he or she should know that such a prayer offered before and after an immoral act is not just hypocritical but foolish.
(unless she is just praying for her 'god' to bless the 'food' before eating)

jaxxy:
Yes pray for forgiveness. The Bible says the prayer of a sinner is an abomination before God. The question is are u a sinner? What makes u a sinner?

Does the fact u sinned make u a sinner? We are bound to sin one way or another bt God still hears us. He doesn’t abandon u just cos u sin. If u like sin and repent 1000 times a day he will still forgive. That doesn’t shield from sm consequences of ur stupidity tho.

so essentially you say I can willfully commit as much sin as I can simply becos I think God will forgive me? what sort of ideas do we have about God sef nawao

Don’t ask me ask ur Bible. It’s says God forgives and yes hes quite merciful if not u won’t be here typing this crappy judgmental statement also.

U are not the creator so u can’t judge anyone or decide who shud be forgiven or not. God decides that.

Must u copy others or bad thing. Run ur race

CaptainGOOD:


Read me again

But Gods mercies endureth forever.

lawani:
If you were God would you continue to answer the person's prayer?

I can't be God. All i know is that Gods mercies upon us is forever. Its even in the bible.

When you beat your child and he runs away from home for an hour or two, it is normal but if he doesn't come back to sleep in the house at night then you may have to do a paternity check, he is likely a bastard. The girl that prays after formication shows that she is still redeemable, Jesus came for such and I pray that she will receive the power to brake from that addiction in Jesus name.
She is at;
Romans 7:21-24 KJV
[21] I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
[22] For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
[23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
[24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
But that is not the end, by the grace of God she will get to;
Romans 7:25 KJV
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
And
Romans 8:1 KJV
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

She's delusional

Fornication in the first place is a sin, and any body who commit it and does not repent, his or her prayers won't be answered, 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 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.

Do u think any of the great men in the Bible who sinned did so my mistake or unintentionally? Leave story. Try not to sin bt if u do there is forgiveness. There are chastisement for sin or consequences for stupid actions that’s all. God will always forgive anyways.

alBHAGDADI:
Your uncle must have believed in the false doctrine of works based salvation which says you can lose your salvation. This means he was never saved for believing in that falsehood. A truly saved person won't go to the extreme like he did. God won't allow him.

Your uncle was never saved. Church of Christ is a false church.

I know God has appointed you on Earth to help humans determine which is a false church and which is true. not so?
you are actually the most cunning not straight-foward pastor I have ever seen. you think niaraland members are mostly kids you can confuse with English? my advice is that you stop searching the Bible looking for verse to twist to defend a certain church doctrine. always study the scripture with open-mindedness because it is the only way you can see the truth

CanineOfJackal:
I'm having this argument with my friends here and I want to hear different opinions about it.

A lady friend visits you and spends the night and you guys have sex and before you sleep, she kneels down and prays and sometimes invite you to join in that prayer.
Remember after the prayers the duo of you might have another roundof sex before day breaks.

My question is this;



1. Is that Prayer wrong?

2. Will God answer such prayer or it's a mockery of prayer?

3. Since we are commuting sin, is it right to run from God or run to him through prayers?


Please lets discuss it with biblical verses to help because a lot of people are victims of such incident.

Yes you can
Luke 18 : 1
And He spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint.

The question now is what type of prayer?
Such a person can only pray a prayer of repentance.
May God help us.

It's possible to fall into sin by mistake(that's without u planning to). But some so called xtians sin with d mindset dat afta sinning, dey would ask 4 forgiveness, n dey do dis over n over again. It's 1 tin 2 fall in2 sin, n it's anoda tin 2 live in sin.

If u are stronger help those weaker rather than judge. Everyone doesn’t hv same strength physically or spiritually. The only thing I don’t like is hypocrisy. We talk about fornication forgetting greed, jealousy, envy etc are all sins too.

alBHAGDADI:

not being a pastor does not change my statement.
spend your time on reading the scripture and writing post that are good for building us up as Christians instead of exerting all your energy on defending doctrines that maybe flawed.
I am not attacking you, I like you and I like the fact you are able to make out time to write about the Bible. something most of us cannot find out time for due to one reason or the other. but I don't know if you are a true Christian as we can become whatever we choose online.
I have been on niaraland for long with different account and I have been on your side on some post and against you on some but recently I began to notice most of your post are not to help us as Christians but for us to argue among ourselves and sometimes to give unbelievers a chance to mock Christianity

princenico007:
foolish people question ,why must you have sex before marriage?, then to the foolish op that banned me for two months I just created 6 diff accounts and won't stop from exposing ur stupid hipocricy until u hav sense and stop been a fool hipocrite that would applaud sarkii and manabaqills and their bunch here on nairaland for calling others ipob pigs, potopoto republic, flat heads etc but would jump to ban me once I let the good reasonable people on nairaland know that the real pigs are those who pass urin and faeces in their living room only to throw it away the following morning and the real potopoto republic are those who believe that forming a begging ring from state to state is the only way to survive and also those who claim to be educated but celebrate touts and agberos and even give them award.
to the foolish op my job is to expose all your hipocricy here on nairaland as someone who know ur kind thorough well having spent over 28 yrs in wild wild west.

Is it the op that banned u or the MODS

HappyPagan:

Be mindful of what you post bro. Even if you do not believe, do not make mockery.

missjane:
If I understand the question correctly you are asking if someone that just fornicated can pray? Well from what I know it's only the Holy Spirit that draws pple to Jesus in prayer..He might not stop u from sinning because God gave u free will but it's His job to continue to comfort n point u towards the right direction..regardless of what ever the circumstances..
Let's say u r in love with one person n ur hormones play a fast one on u, doesn't mean you love God any less..God understands human frailty that's why He made provision not to add the burden of salvation on mankind..it's on Jesus n Jesus alone..
With time I'm sure things would get better between the couple in question ..

Any Christian that fornicate is not of God. For without Holiness no man can see God. Holiness and sanctification is key.. If u wanna fornicate do it n don't mix it up with Christianity. It's either u are Holy and sanctified or not shikena

How many of you are HOLY ?. Only about 0.000000000000000000001% so called Christians can claim to live a pure life.

karlboss:
Let me digress, until the world understand that kneeling down to pray, or going to mosque/Church/shrine to pray is not praying it is basically mumbling words.

Prayer is the longing of the soul. That is why the Bible says they honor me with words but their heart is far from me.

In this situation the ladys prayer was to have sex with the guy and God answered immediately and she got it because we are the creators of our own reality. For her to leave her house to come to pass the night for sex is a very powerful potent prayer than kneeling down to say some words.

Her kneeling down to pray in the morning is not praying.

That is why it seems as if Africans are praying but we are getting worse, we fail to understand that work is the best form of prayer.

Worse case scenario a gee boy on the street pressing laptop to hammer because his soul needs money, God would answer the prayer because God says I will grant you your heart desires.

A real Christian praying in Church for a miracle day and night without working would remain in abject poverty because if his soul really needs the money it would seek ways to get it.

Doing is the prayer not kneeling down.

Work and pray

Of all the things I have read today this one touched my heart. You are a very wise man. I used to criticise these yahoo boys n say they should stop praying for God to bless them coz God does not condone evil practices. The more I kick against their 'God dey bless me' talk, the more they are getting paid and me that has been going to church morning till night not getting anything. Action precedes prayers. If u play from morning till night n do nothing, u nor go smell shishi. Thank u my brother

One thing with this generation is that we don't regard sin as sin..it has become a norm but no ye that God is no man and can't be deceived.
No sinner will everly go unpunished
We now paint sexual relationship outside marriage as nothing is wrong with it.
Imagine a girl praying after committing sexual immorality with her boyfriend.Why the prayer after sex? she still knows they might go another round after the prayer or still commit the same fornication another day..Now that's deceit
1 john 1 vs 9 said 'If we GENUINELY confess our sin that God is merciful and will truly forgive us.
And for how long shall we continue in sin that grace be sufficient..
let's call a spade a spade
our God remains a merciful God to forgive but only when ur repenting genuinely.
I see all this as a manifestation of the flesh but not of the holy spirit.

Let me ask u some questions Sir.
1. Does God have a limit that once it's exceeded one cannot be forgiven?
2. When Paul said 'must we continue in sin that grace might abide. God forbid ' what was he talking about. Was it that there's a level to which grace can hold
3. If all sins (knowingly n unknowingly) are equal , why do we feel very guilty or make am anthill out of fornication. I need to be guided thank u
