Im not sure if this should go here or not but this sounded the most fitting
Basically I have two seperate questions.
1. My girlfriend of 5 years has been reading more into the Bible (we are both Christians) and she is becoming a bit worried about fornication. The Bible says its a sin, and it is basically defined as having sex before marriage. Basically, I want to know what marriage is as far as the Bible is concerned...
We have all intentions of getting married but we want to finish school first. We honestly dont really have sex -that- often but we dont want to feel guilty and be sinning every time we do, even though 90%+ people do it before marriage anyways.
2. Second is gambling. After reading some more into the Bible, my girlfriend decided to bring it up to me that I am sinning when I gamble. I play low stakes games online and am going to Vegas for the first time in May; I dont gamble more than I care to lose and I just enjoy it as a leisure activity. Is gambling just that no matter what? Am I in the wrong? :/
After looking at these two sins, I cant help but think about Gluttony and how nobody without a disorder has ever avoided being a glutton. I know that doesn't make the others right, but Its just that its another one I would question the translation, exact meaning, etc. of.
Someone please clear me up
