u cant really !
fornication is just u are not married , having sex means what ? u have sex with the person for whom u love and have spme kind of feelings.
jusging somthing on basis of sex is certainly not correct !
if u love some one and both the adults are okay with it , the marriage question shouldnt rise ? its all long back culture story now .!
and about culture , there many looop hole in our culture i hope u know that .!
comparing incest or fornication with culture is a hypocrite thing as fad as i am concerned !
My dear, I wasn't comparing fornication to incest in its entirety. I was routing the two to being sins w.r.t. to marriage.
So the deduction is:
1. Fornication = Sin
2. Incest = Sin
3. Incest = Consensual sex with immediate or close relatives (Marriage not possible)
4. Fornication = Consensual sex between two individuals not related to each other. Here, marriage between the two is possible. However, the two may choose to not be married.
Therefore,
5. Incest = Unmarried sex
6. Fornication = Unmarried (premarital) sex
7. Sex before marriage of any kind is forbidden / declared to be sinful.
Which winds down to:
Incest being synonymous to Fornication, which is a sin.
Hope this helps you understand my viewpoint.
