I knew as soon as I posted that, that somebody would eagerly jump down my throat. Congratulations! It's you.

So what is the definition of "fornication" then if it's not unmarried sex.

And we are repeatedly warned to "abstain" from it and "repent" from it in the Bible.

By your logic....there's no need of marriage, the foundation of families. We can just go around saying...."we're married in the eyes of God" and live common law.

Come on....I'm not attacking the young couple. You asked the question and I answered it.

"Fornication" IS a sin and we're ALL sinners. If not of that very human sin, then of some other. But thank God for His Grace which forgives our sins by the blood of Jesus Christ.

How did they fornicate? they are getting married. there is no evidence that they slept around outside of their specific relationship and yeah I am saying there is no need for marriage under the law of the land.

Your answer is wrong. They have not committed fornication and by the way, who did marry Adam and Eve or any other Biblical figure like Abraham and Sarah? As far as I can tell the man took the woman into the tent, they consummated the marriage and they were married, in the eyes of God that is.
