[Not 4 Me]

Scripturally, is premarital sex a sin?

I would love to have a discussion with you about what you think 1 Thessalonians 4.3-7 means.

"3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life."

Hello,

For my part, I would say that sex before marriage is a sin. One must respect the sanctity of one's body.

I agree with you that sex before marriage is a sin. I was trying to engage "Not 4 Me" in a discussion. But they never wrote back.

Hello,

Like @jimwalton and @Jeff52, I also consider premarital sex to be a sin.
