Don't let anyone deceive you,there is no advantage to having premarital se#x. It hampers your emotional progress,physical health,spiritual closeness with God and mental health. Bed undefiled! Stay safe. FLEE!✌

Yea it’s not a sin. It’s disobedience to God’s commandment. 😑

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body, always read your bible.

Many things are not ACTUALLY not a Sin but we’ve been MISLEADED.
