The Real Meaning Of Fornication by OnPointMan(op): 2:21pm On Aug 06, 2019
So many people say sex before marriage is fornication, while some say not all sex before marriage is fornication.

My cousin explained to me that having sex with someone who is not your boyfriend/girlfriend is only what is actually called committing the sinful act of fornication.

He explained further that it's only a sin because the person you had sex with is not yours.

Please, is my cousin right?

Please don't be deceived: your cousin is wrong.

Fornication refers to sex with someone you aren't married to. It could be your boyfriend or girlfriend or anyone else.

Fornication is sweet, but its consequences are terrible.

Jews don't have boyfriends or girlfriends. They have fiance or fiancee.

Then, you probably need to define what you mean by boyfriend/girlfriend.

1. And exclusive dating relationship
2. Friend who is a girl/boy

Sex outside marriage is fornication. Joseph didn't sleep with Mary even though they were engaged to be married for that would have been fornication.

1Cor 7:8-9:
"I say therefore to the unmarried and the widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I. But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn."

If you do not have self control, the answer is not fornication BUT marriage

contrary to what religion is teaching people today that fornication means sex between unmarried people, fornication according to the bible means a young man sleeping with his father's wife

1 Corinthians 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

Do you see that?
One should have his father's wife

Amen and you too. Haven't you heard that the word used in the original Scripture for what was called fornication in the Bible is porneia (which means prostitution)?
