Name two different attitudes to premarital sex

This is my answer: I'm not sure whether I'll get full marks (6) or only 4 marks.
Some christians believe that premarital sex is wrong. This is becaue they believe that sex is supposed to be carried out only after marriage and for the purporse of deepening ones love.

Some christians also disagree because it can also enckourage a polygamous relationship. If the person breaks up after premarital sex, then he or she will more than likely form a new relationship with another person. Christain teaches that people should have a monogamous relationship.

Other christian agree to premarital sex as they believe that sex outside marriage can sometimes be for the good. If some people are unable to marry due to circumstances yet still want to express their love, then some christians believe that sex outside marriage (as in premarital sex) should be allowed.

  1. I think you have to mention the name of a denomination to get past level 2 (I remember reading it somewhere in the markscheme, probably 2008 not exactly this question but a similar one).

  2. I thought that miss kaur said that you don't have to state the denominations?

  3. Tim, if you tighten up the second paragraph you will get six marks for it.

    Referring to a denomination may be advantageous as it makes you look smart...but the mark scheme does not specify you NEED to mention it to get full marks. Basically, you won't get penalised for not using it.

    Where possible refer to difference between Catholics and Protestants. That is a key piece of knowledge you need to show.
