Here's a great vid I saw just yesterday about how the meaning of the latin term "fornication," which is the closest word in English to the Greek word porneia (πορνεία), has been changed to fit a certain ideal or theology. He also goes into the meanings of other terms that we use today that are so not what they meant in ancient times. Check it out:
A way for me to get the message out that pastors and churches all across America and the world are straight up lying to people with their poisonous dogmas that treat sex as some perverted thing. Sex is beautiful. Sex is natural. Sex is not sin.

Premarital sex
This is a very touchy subject. For some, like me, it would mean that one had denied him/herself, in vain - sometimes for many years. I find nothing in the Bible specifically listing premarital sex a sin, not even in the big list of sins in Leviticus 18, where the Lord details unlawful sexual sins, which include (in graphic detail) incest, bestiality and apparently homosexuality. Some people have said that just because it isn't in the list, doesn't mean it is not a sin. I disagree with that position. Who is able to determine what is a sin or not? God. Man is incapable to determine that. Sin is whatever God says it is, not what you say it is. So, if there is no law against something, it's not a sin to do it.
