What does the bible say about "premarital sex"?

I personally believe that modern concepts of marriage have changed the biblical concept. The Biblical concept of "marriage" is that of two (*male and *female) becoming One (echad) flesh.

Gen.2:24

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.(Gen.1:27)

& Confirmed By Yeshua(Jesus) HaMashiach(Christ)in:

Matt.19:4-6

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them *male and *female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Two consummate a marriage by having sex (Including the culture of Israel). This is a literal way in which two become one in a physical bond. Long ago paper (a mariage license) had no role in marriage (example Adam and Eve). The Paper is to symbolize the bond and make it known by Law. (Jer.3:8 is one place where the legalisim is emphasized relating to God giving a bill of divorce). So I basically consider that when two form a bond that comes to the point of sexual relations that the should consider themselves married. So I don't really get the concept of "premarital sex".

The context of being echad (married) is broken when one has sex (commits adultry, fornication) with another outside of the bond (of TWO being ONE), when one beats the other, or basically any concept that breaks the two being a unified One (echad). Sadly many women stay in a relationship where they are being abused, cheated on, or basically disrespected.

1 Cor.6:(13)15-20

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's(Eph.5:3/ Col.3:5/ Rom.12:5 / 1 Cor.10:8/ 2 Cor.12:21/ Jude 1:7)

Heb.13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Jesus (Yeshua) was speaking unto the woman at the well and:

Jn.3:16-19

Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

( I don't know this woman personally and dont how she "now hast" a man that is not her husband. Perhaps he isnt one with her regardless how devoted she is to him.)

Matt.5:27-28

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery (Ex.20:14): But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. (Acts 15:20)

Attraction alone isn't wrong and actually needed to get together. "Adultry" is sexual activity outside of Marriage. So if one lusts after another when either one are in a marriage it is then considered (spiritual) adultry.

1 Cor.7:1-9

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. (1 Cor.7:32-38)

2 Cor.11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (1 Cor.11:3)

Not only Did YHVH divorse those in spiritual adultry, The body of Christ is told not to have fellowship with someone who insists on being a instrument of fornication/ adultry (physically and spiritually)

1 Cor.5:2,5,11,13 (1 Tim.1:19-20) 1Thess.4:3-4 (Gal.5:19-21/ Matt 16:6,12) 2 Thess 3:14-15......

Sex consummates marriage. I believe anyone your having sex with you are entering into that covenant weather you respect it or not. Two becoming one is more than a piece of paper. So I don’t personally believe in sex before marriage (even exists). When you don’t honor the relationship it leads to fornication. … "fornication"- #4202 porneia-harlotry (including adultery and incest); figuratively idolatry: - fornication. FROM porneuo #4203- to act the harlot, that is, (literally) indulge unlawful lust (of either sex), or (figuratively) practise idolatry: - commit (fornication) which is from #4204 porne - a strumpet; figuratively an idolater: - harlot, whore. (Rom.1:24-32/ 1 Cor.5:5,11) #4204 is the femine of #4205 pornos- a (male) prostitute (as venal), that is, (by analogy) a debauchee (libertine): - fornicator, whoremonger…. Perhaps even entering into sex with intent of just having sex is also fornication

1 Cor.7:1-2
