This thread got me thinking.
I am a christian.
However, I do perform a sin- premarital sex.
Now, it got me thinking- about marriage vs. premarital sex vs. divorce. Not necessarily which is better but more like what is your take on this.
Here are my thoughts:
Premarital sex is a sin, but I don't think it is as big a sin as standing on an altar before God and promising someone to unite our souls and spend eternity loving each other then five years later deciding we "just aren't right" or whatever reason people have for getting divorced.
I'd rather be 40 and never married and even have a child out of wedlock rather than get married and end up divorced.
But I get extremely irratated by the Christians that say I am going to hell or I need to stop and repent for this sin when they are divorced twice or whatever and have two sets of kids by two different fathers.
EXCUSE ME? I am going to hell but you can stand before God HOW MANY TIMES saying you will love this person forever before you are going to hell and need to repent?
But I am one of the few people I know that really doesn't believe in divorce. I know people have GOOD reasons for getting divorced, but you need to consider that before going so far as walking in a church before God, your family and your friends and entering into a sacred vow.
Now breaking THAT to me is a sin.
