That way evangelicals talk I would have figured the percentage would be closer to 3% - 4% at most. What's with these Bible thumping Christians anyway? Isn't there some edict from god declaring that sex outside of marriage is a sin? . . . . . . . Could a pragmatic rift be developing among fundamentalists in the country?

Scripture explicitly condemed sexual immorality (fornication). This we believe includes sex with anyone other ones marriage partner. That is the position we hold as Jehovah's Witnesses.




JW



Why, then is there no law that explicity states "You must not have sex before marriage"?

The Bible does specifically say that sex outside of marriage is a sin. There is the Commandment given to Moses that "thou shalt not commit adultery" (Exodus 20:14), and there is the word through Paul to the Corinthians: "Flee from fornication." (I Corinth. 6:18) He was clearer on the matter a few verses earlier: "Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,...nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons...etc., etc., will inherit God's kingdom." (I Corinth. 6:9,10)

That looks pretty plain to me that the Bible condemns sex outside of marriage.
