It is called fornication.




Show me some scripture. I dare ya'





He did, and you started doubting the meaning of the word fornication and the accuracy of it's application, so I think that if it was unarguably clear you would find a reason for why the bible isn't relavent or how it doesn't apply now or something.

And just because the word hasn't been around for thousands of years doesn't mean much.
When you translate something you use the best words in your language to describe what is being said in the original language, so I'm guessing -(even though I don't read greek or hebrew)- that whoever translated it used the word fornication because it was the best way to describe premarital sex. Maybe we have a better word now? Maybe I should look up the greek word, but since I can't read greek or hebrew, I'll still have to rely on someone's interpretation and transation.
