Christian Denominations: How They Differ on Premarital Sex
Catholic Church
The Catholic Church teaches that sexual relations belong only within marriage. The Catechism (2353) calls fornication a 'grave offense against the dignity of marriage.' It is considered objectively a mortal sin requiring confession.

Protestant Churches

Holy Bible (Protestant canon)
Eastern Orthodox

Christianity's teaching on premarital sex is one of its clearest moral positions. The New Testament uses the Greek word 'porneia' (sexual immorality) repeatedly, which encompasses all sexual activity outside of marriage. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:18 to 'flee from sexual immorality' — not to resist it, but to run from it. Hebrews 13:4 commands that the marriage bed be kept pure. Jesus himself raised the bar in Matthew 5:28, saying even lustful thoughts constitute sin. Catholic teaching calls premarital sex a 'grave sin' that separates the person from God. Protestant denominations universally affirm the same, though pastoral approaches to those who have already engaged in it emphasize grace and repentance over condemnation.
