and yet that is the example here. No where in the scripture did GOD ask for purity before marriage. If you're pushing purity before marriage, what do you do with anyone who has been divorced?

Fornication is sexual immorality. Sex is to be between 1 man and 1 woman for 1 lifetime. You either understand this or you do not. Either way, anything other than sex within marriage is sin. We will all give account for our behavior.
Yes purity is supposed to be, it not 100% vital, onlt 100% for the priesthood
Deuteronomy 22:13-19,“If any man takes a wife and goes in to her and then hates herand accuses her of misconduct and brings a bad name upon her, saying, ‘I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her evidence of virginity,’then the father of the young woman and her mother shall take and bring out the evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to marry, and he hates her;and behold, he has accused her of misconduct, saying, “I did not find in your daughter evidence of virginity.” And yet this is the evidence of my daughter's virginity.’ And they shall spread the cloak before the elders of the city.Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip him,and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife. He may not divorce her all his days.
Exodus 22:16-17,“And when a man entices a maiden who is not engaged, and lies with her, he shall certainly pay the bride-price for her to be his wife.“If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he pays according to the bride-price of maidens.”
Because some people actually understand the scriptures and don't make it up as they go along like you do. Maybe if you would've listen to your teachers when you were younger you might be married right now instead of being old, alone and desperate for a woman. No problem though, just break out one of your VR machines and you're in business.
God told Hosea to marry a woman in Whordom. You did not give the context as to why!
Let see why God sad that shall we because Context is important. Did God tell the Prophet to do so because God wanted his Prophet to be married to A whore? or was it a type of judgment due to sin?
Hosea 1:2
2 When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea:
“Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry
And children of harlotry,
For the land has committed great harlotry
By departing from the Lord.”
It is Symbolic and not normative.
This was not a goodthing untilGod had Hosea by back the Women as an example of redeeming Israel.

He does not strike me as someone who is holier than thou. Thinks outside the box.
The bible says that there will be no sex in heaven. Of course, marriage is not necessary in order to have sex.
I have no idea whatsoever if there will be sex in heaven but can't think of a reason why there wouldn't be. I for one hope that there is.
Since on earth marriage is a death until you part contract, in heaven, perhaps this type of a relationship will be given a different name besides 'marriage'.
We're not called to "think outside the box." I know you'll probably find that hard to believe.
I believe that Moses was outside the box. Elijah too. Other prophets and servants of God too. Paul was definitely outside the box, God had to turn his perceptions 180 degrees. He finally saw the light.
There is no marriage in heaven. It doesn't mean there is no sex or showing of affection. GOD created sex, so why would be ban it?
I'm establishing common ground with you before we consider valid/invalid conclusions.
Do you affirm or deny that sex outside of marriage is sinful?
Yes or No?
Thank you for the simple answer. Simple answers are good. Let's first examine earth.
On earth, why is sex outside of marriage sinful?
