But to say it's immoral to have sex outside marriage... that would suggest that two people who have never been with anyone else could meet, be totally serious and committed, have immoral sex, then get married and have moral sex with the same partner! How could that work? What is making it immoral previously? "Inadvisable" is hardly the same as "wrong/harmful".
You don't have to answer, I'm just curious.
Monogamy with a promised commitment for life, has benefits, yes. Which in our society usually, but not always, means marriage. If it's ok, for practicality's sake, I will just say "marriage" verses having to say "monogamy with a promised commitment for life" all the time lol.
But you know what I mean.Well, you have to remember that I addressed 2 separate issues:
-First I addressed why I think sex outside of husband/wife is not morally good.
-Then I addressed why I believe saving sex for a loving marriage is the safer, better option, regardless of God and morals.
These are 2 seperate issues, and while I know you don't understand the first, were you able to understand the second? Or at least, see where I'm coming from even if you don't agree? I explained it at length in my post to Rhythm.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
