Do YOU Consider Persons Who Fornicate As Being "Immoral"? (page 5)

Consenting adults are consenting adults. The Bible is the word of men.

As far as what "consenting adults" are, I am not the judge of others' values. Go with what is legal in your area.
It's a tough call to say to teens that sex is illegal and immoral based on a line drawn by the government, but you can at least say how it is illegal.

I think an age difference factor is included in most of these laws. If sex with a 17-year-old is statutory rape, most jurisdictions view it different if the "adult" is somewhere within 2 years of the minor's age.

The only thing I see in this world that is immoral- is unprotected sex! as long as the hats on the party is on! As long as you are responsible for your own sexual health and take the proper precusions then I dont see a problem- but having unprotected sexual relations when you know you have an STD of sorts, is just plain WRONGE!!!

My Motto is- You got to test drive the car before you but it! (I test drove my car (hubby) for 8 years before I bought it (got hitched) LOL)

Cheating on a spouse is a topic for another thread!

Please, tell me you are kidding?

I don´t want to become "spiritually One with the Master", I have no desire whatsoever to pursue that, and no I have never felt lonely for occassionally have been practicing "the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy". What do you know anyway? You have only slept with your hb. Quit your hibernating and join the game first when you really know what you talk about

Nathmedeah, please slow down, girl.

That was a quote from 1 Corinthians 6 in The Message Bible for PSacramento!

LOL.

I think I made it quite clear in my first post that I don't judge anyone anymore for their lifestyle.

Peace?

OK, so fornication is good. I get it.

I didn't feel I could weigh in on this subject at first, as I am living with someone, and had also "cheated". (See "All About Palmtree")

I felt really bad about the "cheating", even though it only happened once.

But I also feel the circumstances of it happening were not created by me. Remember the Shulamite Maiden? The King wanted her, but she stayed loyal to the shepherd boy. And why? Because she called to mind all the kindnesses and terms of endearment they had shared.

If you want your spouse to be faithful to you, then you BOTH have to work on it.

Not everyone who cheats is evil.

Cheating is a sin, it is a fall into temptation and succumbing to it.

We all sin, in one way or another, some sins like adultery are far more painful for all than others.

That said, the good lord taught us to forgive, just as he mentions in Matthew, if someone tresspasses against as , we must forgive them and keep on forgiving them (note he didn' say trust though, lol), why?

Because we ALL need forgiveness, ALL of us and if there is one thing that can break the cycle of sin, it is love and forgivness, in many ways, is the ultimate act of love.

I generally don't consider persons who fornicate to be immoral because society (much of it anyway) seems to have evolved in that direction. No one is really shocked any more that umarried people sleep together. It's become the norm.

That said, if one wants to be strict or technical about it and bring the Bible into it, then sex outside of marriage does fall short of the Biblical ideal. Then again, we fall short of that ideal in many ways.

I think a happy compromise would be to replace "marriage" with "committed relationship", which is pretty much what many religions have done.

If you are married I would consider it immoral to have sex with someone other than your mate .

I no longer see it as immoral for single people dating to sleep with someone they love as long as they act responsible .

I think it is a protection for young people to refrain from sex until they are physically and mentally prepared ,which can be a very individual thing .

Personally I think of sex as being immoral when there is a lack of responsiblity such as :

1) when an older experienced person takes advantage of a younger naive individual

2) having sex w/o protection causing the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy ,in other words sex w/o being prepared for consequenses or taking responsiblity

3) or having a sexually transmitted disease ,but still out having unprotected sex w/o giving full disclosure to the other person .

PSacramento

Evil and immoral in manipulating people into shunning their loved ones, not allowing people to save their children, making people believe they are less than they are.

That is evil and immoral.
