Sex before marriage = Hell: Is it really that good?

OK. We all know that there are certain things that you just can't say in certain places. Our country firmly stands behind the First Amendment and all, but most of the time in the work place and most social settings you really can't speak your mind because there are consequences to what you say. In most cases, you should just shut up, but when something clearly goes against your religious beliefs, is it really okay to just be quiet so you don’t hurt someone’s feelings? Here's my first thing: Now I am a firm believer that God has no respect of person and that no one sin is greater than another. If God saved me, He can save anyone. My problem is, when we will we stop accepting sins as being ok? The Bible explicitly says in Corinthians that fornicators cannot make it into the Kingdom of heaven. Two of my three children were conceived out of wedlock, and while I knew it was wrong to have sex before marriage, I did not truly understand the Christian consequences of my actions. I did not know that I was truly damning my soul to hell had I never repented. How many young people really know that? It amazes me how my generation can be so Godly and yet miss something as big as this! Almost everyone has sex before marriage these days and the problem is that society accepts it as ok. Regardless of the fact that in the old days most people probably did it and lied about it, they had enough sense to know it that sex was not something to be taken lightly because God did not take it lightly. First of all, most young people are not even ready for the emotional problems that come with a sexual relationship, least of all the consequences such as children and diseases. Our bodies are temples of the Lord (1 Corinthians) and He dwells in us. (Or He should anyway if you are who you say you are) Would you do half of those sexual acts in the church or temple? Whatever you wouldn't do in a church you shouldn't do in your body. This goes for way more than sex. Sex is a wonderful thing, and yes with the right person at the right time it can feel GREAT! There is nothing in the Bible about baby mama's or child support because these things are not of God. How can you tell a 15 year old boy to be a man and take care of his baby, he's not a man, he's a BOY! Casual sex is all over the TV, movies, magazines; everywhere you look everything is about SEX!! Even in churches they talk about practicing safe sex instead of explaining that this is a huge sin that WILL guarantee that you will not make it into the Kingdom of Heaven. I was in church almost every day of my life and I thought that even though sex was a sin it wasn't as bad as something like, I don't know, selling drugs or stealing. I made straight-A's, church musician, volunteer, one of the sweetest and nicest people you'd ever meet and I was unaware that even I was on my way to a devil's hell. I can take my lesson learned now that I have repented for my sins and share with someone else. Trust me, it's really not THAT good, nothing in this world is. So if you're out there, and you're still having sex before marriage, no matter what your age is, consider this a chance to repent and start clean. Besides, if he likes it, tell him put a ring on it! Beyonce’ did…Uh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh…….
