Until recently I would have agreed with most people on this thread that sex is a matter of personal choice (and eventually it is). I think that because we have grown up in a society and in a generation where sex is sad to say, not as sacred an act as it is meant to be, it has become something that we don't concern ourselves with seriuosly. I think when it comes to sex people consider that a very personal decision and much like abortion people don't want to be told how or why they should live their lives a certain way. Especially if there is a slight suggestion what they are doing is wrong or immoral. Who wants to have that shoved in their face or be reminded of their choices. I think if we would remind ourselves that this earth is ONLY a stopping place we may remember where our ultimate destination is, and we have to live our lives with that in mind. If you have causual sex or you destined to be banned to hell? Of course not, our God forgives. I myself struggle with the issue of being engaged but not married to my son's father. However when we willingly do something we KNOW does not please God, we should make an effort to correct those actions rather than dwell in them, and blame it on the times we live in.
