There isn't one that says "Thou shalt not fornicate" either - but that didn't stop the church deciding it was a sin.

Thou shalt not fry children with jellied petroleum,nor dismember them with cluster bombs.'It was on the third tablet,but Moses' hands were full.

you will find that there are references to 

premarital sex in holy texts - it being a sin -

in most religions.

from the koran

And those who cannot marry should practice restrain (or abstinence) till Allah enriches them out of His bounty. (24:33)

and from the bible

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. (Hebrews13:4)

and from the five precepts of buddhism

Is sex before marriage a type of sexual misconduct?

Not if there is love and mutual agreement between the two people. However it should never be forgotten that the biological function of sex is to reproduce and if an unmarried woman becomes pregnant it can cause a great deal of problems. Many mature and thoughtful people think it is far better to leave sex until after marriage.

 Its interesting to hear the different sides of it, julia.

My next question is

How is it possible for a Christian to sin his whole 

Life and repent and redeem himself in his last 

Moments on earth

Go

So, do you fancy a bit of cattle rustling?

---

 I think other posters are thinking of rustling the bed sheets... just joking

 Cotswolds are just beautiful, don't you think?

I didn't see much of UK while we lived there - saw a fair bit when we went back about 10 years ago. Also went to a little village called Polpero (spelling?) - on the Cornish coast - famous for smuggling etc in the early days. A bit like the village in the Doctor Martin TV show.

---

 Yeah I've been to that village in Doc Martin, it's beautiful, you should go sometime.

what about Shrewsbury Abbey - Cadfael.

[jessicadazzler97]

I'm not into Cadfael, but my brother loves it.

I was only 10 when I came to Australia so I didn't have much chance to see stuff haha
