I think God looks at the total package how we lead our lives on earth and is just, forgiving and REASONABLE enough to know we are not perfect just as we might not like everything 100% about our spouses but look at the total package when we marry them (or not).

BTW premarital sex has been around since the begining of time.

I think you might find this of interest. From "Everyday Life in the 1800s" by Marc McCuctcheon, Chapter 10 Courtship and Marriage, page 205:

"premarital sex: the late 1700s and early 1800s were marked by a notably higher incidence of premarital sex than in later years. Records show, in fact, that around the turn of the century one third of New England brides were already pregnant when they married, despite civil statutes against fornication

Good enough for what? What is God measuring us for?

And what as a total package is “good enough” for that standard?

Uh huh....

“Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders” 1 Cor 6:9

Now tell me G-d doesn’t care.

You write that like some kind of revelation, like something you just read in a book.

Thank goodness we have wise folks like you to tell us dullards that sin has always existed.

Who knew, lol?!
