Jesus and the bible say lusting is wrong. The word for lust in the bible meant covetousness or inordinate desire. Not all sex outside of marriage necessarily meets that criteria.
The bible says fornication is wrong. But the definition is different tho than modern definition. It just means unlawful sex. Premarital sex isn’t necessarily unlawful.
The bible says sex is becoming one flesh. Marital sex is becoming one flesh. But that doesn’t necessarily mean all becoming one flesh sex has to be marital sex. Of course sex is sacred based on the bible, tho.
Saint Paul says to avoid unlawful sex ‘let every man have a wife’ and vice versa. That doesn’t necessarily mean the only way to avoid unlawful is through marriage.
Saint paul says it’s better to get married than to ‘burn with passion’, but that doesnt necessarily mean premarital sex
I’m doin a lot of fancy foot work here and I’d understand if someone said the bible implies premarital sex is immoral. But it’s still the case and very revealing that the bible in fact nowhere states that premarital sex is immoral. That counts for something right? Same goes for masturbation and the bible, not stated as immoral or really even implied, realistically speaking necessarily. Maybe God’s word isn’t explicit about it, because God has some leeway here?
