is there another adult or someone of an older more mature age who will talk to you in a non-religous bias? talk to you about the whole aspect of being intimate and the consiquences but also the joys and the methods of protection and STD's?  |

I think that the stuff you do before sex would be considered a sin because it leads to sex... but that's just my view on it  I agree with Midnightly, you should talk to someone about it.  |

I don't think it is a sin but I really think you should wait, you want your first to be with someone you love, I'm engaged and my fiance' understands that I want to wait, although my father always said you can do what you wait just make sure it is portected. It is up to you. I was catholic and my mothers family are real strong catholics, but nothing like this. I don't think you will go to hell but there are times when guys try and push you into it, and they just want to had sex with you, you have to make sure you can trust your boyfriend. This is up to you and you only. I wish you luck and may God be with you.  |

I disagree, that the stuff before sex leads to sex, it only does that if you make it. My fiance and I have been engaged for almost a year and we have done the stuff before sex but we are waiting until we are married in 3 years before having sex. So I think it only leads into sex if you make it. I hope that is g-rated. |

i agree, find someone else you can talk to about it. i honestly don't believe you will go to Hell for it. my husband is a catholic and, if thats the case, he is going to burn! honestly, i can see where your mother is coming from with her worries, but i really don't believe that if you have sex you will go to Hell. see if you can find someone else to talk to. a councilor or a relative. best of luck to you.  |

no you wont go to hell for it. but If you can not do it before you get married that would be better. Cause there are so many sexual disease, as well as pregnancy.  |

Well theologically, if it's something your afraid you'll feel guilty about after its done, then it's probably a sin to even go that far.  |

According to the Bible, sex before marriage is a sin. It is called "fornication." I believe that the reason it is a sin is that it was designed to be the ultimate physical expression of a committed relationship that had already matured in other areas. Sex before marriage can foster a number of problems, including a child that comes into the world without the benefit of a two-parent family, a lack of commitment to a future marriage, an increased chance of divorce after marriage, and sexually-transmitted diseases, some of which can leave a woman unable to ever have children. Regarding "some stuff that people before sex," please be aware that, when you are attracted to someone, closer physical contact tends to produce still closer physical contact. One cannot play with fire and expect to remain unburned forever.  |

The Catholic church states: God has exclusively given the gift of intercourse to a man and woman who have pledged their lives to one another through marriage as a way of fully giving oneself to the other, being fully open to the transmission of life should God so choose to bestow this blessing, therefore sex outside of marriage is inherently sinful. So baisicly its only the sex thats sinful. However, i dont really see a problem with what you are doing, its natural! Good luck!  |

Also, you wouldnt go to hell for it! What kind of God would send you to hell for doing something which is baisic human instinct? We are told in the bible that everyone has a place in heaven, that God forgives everyone, and that the only really unforgivable sin is to deny the Holy Spirit into your heart! |

Well, I'm not Catholic. But I think that if you choose to follow the Catholic faith and call yourself a Catholic, then you should embrace all that the church teaches. In my opinion, religion is not like a buffet dinner where you can pick and choose what you will believe and what you won't. You either accept it, all of it, or you don't. As for sex, and sexual activity outside of marriage. I personally believe that the ability to create another human life is a god-like ability that we have. In fact, creating another life is as close as we can get to the creation powers of God. Therefore, we need to treat it as such...with respect and care. That's why it needs to saved for marriage. Because the life that comes of it deserves to come into this world with dignity, with a mother and father who love it and are committed to each other and to the raising and caring for that child. I weep at those talk shows where women test 8 or so different men trying to figure out who their baby's father is. That's so sad and so unfair to the child. To go through life with no father and no idea of it's parentage. So, the problem with fooling around, with doing everything but having sex is that it just makes having sex more tempting. There will come a time when just fooling around won't be enough. You'll want to go farther. And when you do that, you're taking lightly this gift God has given us to create life. I think you should wait. Save yourself for someone who truly loves you. Enough to commit himself to you and to promise you that he will be faithful to you and care for you and for whatever children may come of that activity. It will mean so much more that way. That's just my humble opinion.  |

As a Catholic, your mother should know that there's not 1 sin that can make you go to hell. And if that's the case, EVERYONE would go to hell because everybody sins. You just have to repent, but be truly sorry for what you did.
Maybe she was trying to scare you so that you won't go out and get pregnant out of wedlock. As long as you TRULY believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, you're saved. Look in Romans 10 . That "if you break any of the commandments, you'll go to hell" thing was in the old testament of the Bible before God sent Jesus.
And to God, a sin is a sin. It may be hard to believe, but no sin is bigger than another sin to God, because either way you've simply sinned. |

Another reason why no one sin is bigger than the other is because you can repent for whatever you did. As long as you're TRULY sorry. |

Oh and let me clarify something. Sorry about the first mistake.
I meant "As a Catholic, your mother should know that there's not 1 sin that can make you go to hell WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN HIM." |
