Do people really go to hell for having premarital sex with their partners before marriage?

u I think it's very reasonable to say yes.
Here's a quick analogy to start. You're in heavy debt. A wealthy man offers not only to pay off your debt, but he also offers you a prestigious job. He only conditions that you live within your means, make better financial decisions, and otherwise try to better yourself. If you accept his offer, what do you think would happen if you did exactly the opposite of what he told you to do?
Now follow the analogy. God, through the words of Sacred Scripture, specifically condemns adultery and fornication. Jesus Christ became one of us and suffered a very excruciating, torturous death for us and subsequently rose from the dead for us in order to break the power of sin and death over us, but also to feed us with his own Body and Blood (Holy Communion) in order that we might have everlasting life. Therefore, if even after such a bitter and grueling Passion, one still engages in those actions, thoughts, and words from which we are commanded not to act, think, or speak, what ought one to expect to happen? This doesn't mean that sex, in and of itself, is sinful. When it is outside of its properly ordained context, which is marriage, it is sinful.
The best and simplest way to explain it is that marriage between a man and a woman symbolizes, is reflective of the union of Christ and His Church. Throughout the Bible, we hear about "the fullness of time", "my hour is not yet come", "the appointed time", and so forth. The meaning behind this is that God made a covenant with His chosen people, but it progressed in stages up until its fulfillment with the coming of Christ, His Passion and Death on Calvary, and His Resurrection from the dead and Ascension into Heaven.
Yes, God is gracious, merciful, good, and loving. He cannot be anything else. The question then is, as I begged earlier, what ought we to expect to happen if we indulge in those things which He not only forbids us to, but sent HIs Son to redeem us from them? Does anyone really want to take such a great gamble with their immortal soul and presume upon His Mercy and Love?

🤦♂️. I respect anyone beliefs. The reason they made this type of fear is for people start to behave. The Bible was created to place order and have control. That been said, you have the control to choose either is right or wrong use your gut feelings just remember whatever you push out there, positive or negative will come back unexpected.
Example, church says is a sin to drink alcohol you will end in hell. The reality is not after life is actually living it. How? Well drinking alcohol what causes? Liver... right. In the beginning everything is all cool you don't feel it but internally you damaging it without seen it. You are torturing your organs. Then after years liver results. Then who is living in hell you are because your body is not functioning and waiting for a donor. Then you start blaming God by saying "he is punishing me". The reality he isn't instead he is sad, why? You did it to yourself.
Instead being more appreciative the life he offer you in the beginning but you took advantage of it. Why not eat healthy and love yourself. When you love yourself you know what is right and what is wrong for you.
Same as relationships, take your time to know the person, don't rush. Rushing and fearing being alone once again is the worst move ever you can make, why? Either gal or guy may see your fear and could take advantage of it and just use you. Just remember he or she ain't the last Coca-Cola or Fanta 🤓 or specially tea there is many flavors 😉.
So... in other words no. You choose if is the right guy or gal, you choose what type of guy you want in your life a hell guy or heaven 🙃
Hey, I can see why you would be worried about this.
From a Christian perspective, the most I can say is "probably not". God values our hearts, and that is how He will judge us (1 Corinthians 4:5). On the one hand, we need to be prepared to sacrifice our sex lives to God. On the other hand, if you believe that God is okay with sex before marriage, then your heart is probably okay in this matter. One key point some people might raise is whether or not you can be a Christian and truly be okay in your heart with same-sex marriage. There will be differing views on this.
With all that said, I am a universalist. This means that I do not believe that hell is eternal and that, in the end, everyone will end up in the New Jerusalem (that is to say, Heaven). This does not mean that I deny that hell exists. Rather, I just believe that hell will be emptied... eventually.
Despite that, it is better to seek God's will whilst we are on Earth. So whilst I would not have sex before marriage, you will need to look at God's Word and your own heart and different opinions on this issue before making that decision for yourself.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (KJV) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither 'fornicators' nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
But guess what sis? There's still hope. God loves and can forgive your sins. All you have to do is bring fruits of repentance and repent. If you bring fruits of repentance God will forgive you, just make sure you turn from your sins completely.

Actually there is nowhere in scripture that premarital sex is a sin. But that doesn’t mean it’s okay. There is also online one line in the entire bible that hints at female homosexuality being a sin and even that is very vague.
BUT if Jesus said “if anyone of you here has looked at women lustfully you have already committed adultery in your heart” I don’t think he would be okay with lots of other things including premarital sex.
Anyway having a personal relationship and accepting him as your savior is what matters most. It’s were your heart is and repentance.
Also as for all you proud atheists on here. I’m a strong believer in free will. I think freedom of religion should be a worldwide right. But you angry fools act like the Spanish Inquisition is still going on nowadays when it comes to Christianity. The last I checked freedom or religion has been a foundation of America since the Salem Witch trials (before the American revolution for you dolts who skipped history class).
QUIT taking things a step further and attacking Christianity. If you really wanted to fight “religious persecution” grab a plan ticket to
the Middle East and try yelling at Muslims. Many countries over there have no separation between church and state. They still throw gays off buildings. They are REAL about female
oppression. But none of you cowards ever utter a word of criticism against Islam yet always tear into the easy target Christianity. -
If you're concerned about having or hell, I am assuming you have read the Bible or at least aware of his existence and are trying to decide where you stand and how to follow it.
With that said, it is my belief from what I've read and what I've been taught that premarital sex will not keep you from heaven. Not having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and not believing that he is God's only son and your savior of all sins, that is what keeps you from heaven.
Be well my friend. Try to do What you believe is right in your heart, love God and love his people and talk to Jesus regularly. That is the secret to happiness in this life. -
Lol of course not. Even if god were real, she would have expected the people to have sex and not punish them to eternity in flames or whatever hell is supposed to be. Look, u can believe in god if you feel it helps you somehow, but don't accept all the threats of hell etc. I'm told some branches of christianity have no hell at all only heaven. (Protestant I think) and some can get anything forgiven by the priest or whatever I think that's catholic. So don't worry. Just fuck your boyfriend like the rest of us and enjoy it like the rest of us

Well, in the Bible it says
Romans 3:22-23 KJV
'Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: [23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;...'
For God is no respecter of persons (God sees us all the same way : sinners.) but Jesus, part of the Trinity, became manifest in the flesh, to pay the price of sin for all people. All it takes is belief in what he did.
John 14:5-6 KJV
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? [6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Rejection of Jesus is what sends anyone to hell. -
God is merciful and forgiven if you repent and stop having premarital sex. He loves you but hate the sin. The Bible says "Love covers a multitude of sin" Jesus died for the sins of the world. He also said those who do sin will not see the kingdom of God. That's those who continue to stay in their sins and not repent. There's a verse in the Bible that says "If my people will humble themselves, seek my face, call on my name and turn from their wick ways... I will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal the land."

Do people go to hell. That depends if you can prove to me that hell exists, that heaven exists.
It's an existential question really and all depends on what you personally believe. It's quite possible that he'll already exists and we are living in it, in which case it can be argued that why worry if we are already living in hell. Or the converse, we are in heaven so again it makes little difference.
The concepts of heaven and hell and God and the devil have always been things that bothered me, for example a serial killer of children can repent and ask to be forgiven, he or she must be forgiven, even if they aren't but ask for it and truly mean they are sorry they automatically get a pass into heaven but a mother of a child killed by that person, if she doesn't forgive she goes to hell.
Isn't that then the greatest joke of all. -
We may never know that but the belief is that it's a huge din.
Most religions forbid pre marital sex.
If all the religions over the world have a similar view about it, there must be some solid grounds.
I am not sure about hell but it is a sin for sure.
Also the specialness of the act goes away if it's done multiple times with multiple people.
My first kiss was with my friend.
So when I first kissed my current spouse, the same specialness wasn't there. Infact I was probably remembering my friend or maybe comparing sub consciously.
Also it doesn't mean you can go to second base or oral or anal
It's all sexual, just different levels. -
I personally dont believe in heaven or hell, so I donr think it's even possible, you will have to read up on your religion, I know some of them you can repent, be forgive for your sins in the eye of the lord. Some religions may not even consider it a sin.
Maybe you should tell us your religion so that someone may be able to actually speak on the believes of it, may not what is considered a sin for your situation.
If hell is real I think about 80% of people are going there cause there are so many different religions, and atheists like me, and only those following the one right god will make it too hsaven. So if hell is real I'm sure I'm going! LOL -
As I understand it and have been taught, sex is marrying your partner and is what is recognized by God. What we call marriage is more or less a social construct that is the outward declaration to the world that you are going to be with this person.
So it is frowned upon by society and not good practice, but I do not believe it to be a sin. The sin occurs when you don't get "married," and then go to your next partner, and the one after that, etc. You are still married to your first lover and now you're sleeping around. -
It's not something you can't repent of, is it? You can grow to love doing almost anything wrong. But you can also turn from it, right? But then, the reason for turning from it matters too. Is it because He moved you to, or are you trying to bribe your way into Hellfire Insurance? Or is there some other, more self-serving reason?
Now, if your attitude about it having happened is: "It's my 'right'!" (no it isn't), or vowing to do it again just to get under someone else's skin? That's a lot more damning than the act itself. Don't just look at what you're doing; but why you want to do it. -
No. People who have premarital sex have premarital sex. That's what happens to them... or more appropriately what they do. They have premarital sex.. that's it.. nothing else happens, except maybe a baby or an STD or.. awkwardness or accidental inconvenient love which causes people to react irrationally. And yeah I guess one of those things could be hell. The STD, IF it's AIDS. Because if you get AIDS then that's hell at the end. So those people who have pre-marital sex do indeed go to hell; the ones who get AIDS.

My body will be in the ground, no nerve endings, or brain to react to fire, which somehow physically exists outside physical reality, so I'm not concerned as suffering, in the context of "hell" presented in the bible won't affect a spirit, only body, yet I meet very few who analyze, think, reflect, far more only will try to impose belief, often in ignorance, and blind acceptance, on another.
To answer your question, I have no direct access to knowledge, or experience, to know even what hell is, how to recognize it, or if I'm going, so witout sufficient evidence, I can't say I will go to hell for premarital sex. - 764 opinions shared on Religion & Spirituality topic.
I sure hope not. On the other hand, if God's that much of jackass, maybe we're better off without Him.
I think I'd be okay with it being the punishment for premarital sex after marriage, though; messing about with the timestream can cause a *lot* of trouble. -
I sure hope not.. Don't you think he'd care more about us then that.. To let that happen.. I don't think he would allow that personally. Of course i do realize that could be completely false and we all could be literally burning in hell and getting tortured forever.. I don't think he'd make it that easy tho and cares about us and loves us.

Yes according to the three Abrahamic religions. You will go to hell for having sex before marriage if God doesn’t forgive you. You have to repent from your sins and make sure you don’t do them again but if you die a sinner without repenting sincerely you’ll be doomed to eternal damnation.
It’s all pretty sadistic. Lots of good people died who were of different religions but if they didn’t believe in this God they would apparently go to hell. What kind of horrible person does that? Apparently God is meant to love us more than our mother. What mother has the heart to pour hot lava into the ears of her child for anything at all? It doesn’t make sense to me. I think only morons can believe this is okay. This is where religious people can’t see morally right from wrong and common sense because they suffer from cognitive dissonance. -
It was a mistranslation I think on purpose by the Catholics. The translated word that was on the original scroll was pornei. Properly translated it means sexual deviancy not fornication as it says in Bibles. Sexual deviancy was already spelled out in the Old Testament. It is pedophelia, homosexual, beastiality, adultery etc. heterosexual sex between two unmarried consenting adults is not a sin. It was everywhere in the OT, it isn’t a Ten Commandment and Jesus never said anything about it. It amazes me the Catholics will convince you you’ll burn in hell but think nothing of molesting altar boys

No one knows. It's all just words written by people. I don't believe hell or heaven are real. Life is much simpler if you let go of this and just try to live ethically. Have sex if you want to, be honest with your partners, take the necessary precautions and enjoy it.
-
Honey, you have as much pre-marital sex as you want. there's nothing wrong with it. If it's safe and consensual then I would not be worried. God will look at you and your partner and go "Well look at that. They are enjoying themselves" and not care. I dont thing God would care.
-
You won't go to hell for having premarital sex.
Yes, people will look down on you and family members may look differently at you. Having premarital sex is common among a lot of people, especially younger generations. But truth be known, if you can have a relationship that can go the first three months without sex, then you know you have a relationship strong enough to fall back on after the sex dries up -
From what o have heard of those who went down and saw, yes. Amongst other too when they never repented. Even Christians, but it is said they receive harsher punishment be ause they knew and didn't repent or lead others astray. It's not a joke people. Fornicators in the word of God clearly says as even those who commit adultery, lying, etc isn't welcome in the kingdom. It is literally right there. But it may not be the only sin that will get one to hell.
