[Faith-talk] living together before marriage

[Jeanette]

the Bible tells us that any sex outside of marriage is fornication, the act 
of sex as it says is Genesis is an act that brings the couple together as 
one, two shall become one the bible tells us, many folks  have decided this 
is an old fashioned idea and they choose to do as they please, it is between 
them and God, but as to teaching about it, the bible is very clear about the 
behavior we are to have as Christians, judging folks is not necessary, 
stating what the Bible says and leaving it with them is all you can do and 
live a pure life to be an example to others to the best you can, we are all 
sinners and fall short of the glory of God.
i have a few friends whose young adult children have decided if they love 
each other and plan on getting married some day it s ok to go ahead and live 
together, as to living together because of money, we are to depend on God to 
provide for us what we need and if we need a place to live and we feel the 
only optio is to live in sin then we may not be seeking god's guidance, He 
will never put us in the position to sin instead of lean on Him.
