Are you seeking the approval of people, or the approval of God? Mere humans do not have the power to condemn or absolve you .. Only Jesus has that right. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the wisdom you need and the power to obey.

I'm sorry that you were offended by my response. The reason I posed that question is because the Bible is pretty clear on that topic ... I think you would have been just as offended if I had told you you were living in sin. But I was merely trying to point you to God's word to find your answer. Sometimes we know the answer God gives to our question, but we don't like the answer, so we ask people to give us their opinions so that we can find a way around what God's word has already told us. I think we all fall into this at times. It's not always easy to follow what God tells us, which is why I suggested you pray, not only for His wisdom, but also for the power to carry it out. Sometimes we need divine courage to help us obey. If you see money as being what is holding you back from obeying God's word, then maybe you need to look at Matthew 6:24 "“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." All I am trying to say is that you need to look to the Bible - God's word, to pray for His truth to be revealed in your heart, and then to ask Him to give you the courage you need to obey. May God bless you with ALL you need in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Your Body belongs to God. Fornication is Sin in God's eyes. If you are engaging in fornication, Stop...Pray...Repent! If you can't afford a Church wedding now, can you afford to have a Justice of the Peace Wedding? (You could later re-new your Vows and have a Church Wedding when you can afford it!) The Bible is clear: "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 There is hope for you if you confess your sin to God and go and sin no more. The next verse is powerful as well if you repent: "And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:11 Pray and ask God what He would have you do!
