Bible Discussion Thread

I am responding to Polly 's Question above She asked "I am a 60 year old widow. Recently I have been blessed with a new relationship with a man who has stated will "never marry again ", due to his 25 year experience with a wife who was unfaithful. Since we are both long past child bearing years, is it still considered a sin for us to express our physical desires outside of marriage in this case in the eyes of the Lord? My Response Dear polly, the commandments of abstaining from "Fonication " or Adultery " and their likeness has no age limit, neither is it only for those within the child bearing age bracket only. If you have sex with that man in that your new found relationship, you have committed fornication. As a widow, you are Biblically permitted to marry again and enjoy sex within the confines of marriage, but doing it outside marriage is a sin of fornication.
