in the christian religion sleeping with each other before marriage is not allowed.
in 1 corinthians7, it is written clearly that instead of doing that you should marry.
Also in heb 11:4 it says that the marriage bed should be undefiled.
are u of this biblical opinion?

Yep. Can't argue against it cos the text is clear. If i won't obey the text but violate its teaching as if it does not exist then I wouldn't be a Christian.

Every Christian violates the text of the Bible. There is not a person alive on this planet that is without sin...The bible teaches that Jesus was the only person to walk the earth completely free from sin.
To say to sin means you are not Christian means that no one can be a Christian then.

Here's the thing...if you believe in the Bible literally, then having "relations" before marriage is wrong.
I would suggest to those who can wait - to wait it out because not only of what is in the bible but because of the proven problems it causes - unplanned pregnancy's - STD's, etc.
But for those that have had premartial relations, do not worry as those who believe in God and are saved are fine. It may be a sin, but so is alot of other stuff. No one is free from sin and just because you have sinned, does not mean that you are going to rot in "hell" or that you are going to be struck by lightening.
A sin is a sin - no matter what it is...in God's eyes - all sins are created equal...it is only in our human eyes - with the way we think that we feel that one is worse then something else.
For example, one might say to dishonor your parents happens as it is a part of growing up - even though it is a sin...but then turn around and say if you have relations before marriage - then you are doomed..
Who gave us, as God's people, the right to decide which rules were okay to be broken and which ones weren't.
To my Christian friends who have their heads up their.... Remember not to judge and that every sin is wrong on the same level and that all can and will be forgiven if forgiveness is asked for.
Never say someone is not a Christian because they sinned.
