Exodus 2:1414 “You shall not commit adultery. This is the "master" verse that speaks of either all or most of sexual immorality as I know it, as a Christian. This is one of the ten commandments. Adultery is sex outside of marriage. This means you can't have sex with animals. This means that sex before marriage, fornificiation, is not something to do as-well. I'm surprised you even need a verse to a very very well known principle. |

See, this is the problem. Adultery means if you have given a commitment to someone, you should not be with someone else. It is not the act of sex which is evil and sinful, it is the betrayal of trust. If you are in a loving relationship - married or unmarried - then sex can be an expression of that. If sex is a betrayal of commitment to another, then you are breaking Jesus's fundamental message of treating others how you wish to be treated.
There is nothign in the bible about pre-marital sex. The stance you are taking is the problem with so many Christians in the eyes of non-Christians. Your stance has no value. No one will believe that sex is wrong, so they mock your views. It's too bad that this becomes the image of Christians, as it's not actually a Christian stance. It's actually a stance that dates to ancient Greeks and adopted by early Greek Christians, but that's another story.
You should stop spouting these bible quotes and live by the simple message of be kind for others. If you do this you will not be mocked by others, but rather you will be admired.
