Sex
"God says 'No' to sex outside of marriage, but I love sex.
I love the attention, the chase, the affirmation and the physical comfort that sex gives.
Plus, I get rid of that 'itch' for a while.
Why should I have to live without that?"
This has been going on since humanity began.
Joke: Eve comes to Adam and asks, "Do you love me?"
Adam says, "Who else?"
.
God made us male and female as an example of how God craves His church and how the Church should crave God.
He did this partly through though our anatomies and hormones.
But for anyone to become legally attached to God, they must be born-again.
And when that happens, God is fully committed to them.
(Heaven has legalities too)
And marriage is the human example of that bond between God and the Church, in being born-again.
Sex outside of marriage is like people joining a church, but not being born-again.
.
Marriage creates the right to enjoy sex, as being born-again creates the right to go to heaven.
.
***1 Corinthians 7 is a chapter of the New Testament dedicate to marriage.***
.
Sex outside of marriage creates two problems:
1) It creates a sexual relationship without a solemn commitment to the sex partner.
2) It creates children that lack parental co-commitment.
.
For example:
Many women are killed by men they had sex with outside of marriage.
This include wives that are killed by their husbands, but had sex before marriage.
Complete sexual abstinence until marriage is the safest environment for females to live in.
.
Children conceived outside of marriage are the most likely to be fatherless,
which means they are the most likely to:
* use drugs
* drop out of school
* be sexually abused (often by a step-relative)
* be sexually trafficked
* be in foster care
* commit suicide
* be arrested
* depend on public assistance for basic needs as adults
* be a mass-shooter
* belong to an anarchist group.
.
In short, these children are the most likely to live in misery.
This is a good reason not to have sex outside of marriage.

Rebuttal 'A':
"I am unloved. Don't I have the right to create a child who will love me?"
.
I feel deeply sorry for anyone who thinks the only way they will ever be loved, is to make a child.
And I feel even more pity for any child who was bred, like an animal, soley to be their parent's 'significant other'.
Apart from abortion or child-prostitution, this is human trafficking at its worst.
Rebuttal 'B':
"Well then, if a child conceived out of wedlock, and seems destined for difficulties,
isn't it best to abort ?"
No. Abortion is the inexcusable taking of a human life.
God, through DNA processes, creates us in the womb. To kill an unborn child is to mock God.
There are certain cases in self-defense, where one human is allowed to kill or execute another functioning human,
without incurring the wrath of God. Abortion is not one of them.
Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself."
The baby in a woman's womb is her closest neighbor.
