The Bible provides a number of instances in which individuals are either implicitly or explicitly told not to engage in sex with people with whom they are not married: We are enjoined by the Bible to treat our body as if it were a temple, given to us by God and made in the reflection of a divine image. By honoring the divinity that is immanent in our own bodies (and this includes a number of activities such as not taking drugs) we honor the original act of creation. This is true of all Christian sects, although more so in some than in others. It may be obvious but it is still worth mentioning here while are addressing the issue of premarital sex from a Christian perspective there is of course no single Christian perspective: Unitarians have very different beliefs than do Catholics, for example. However, all Christian groups argue that it is immoral
