It'd be really great if the Christians would reply to this topic, because I'm relating sex to Christianity... not to "OMG, Christianity is stupid and blah blah blah don't listen to the Bible, blah blah blah". But do what you will, it doesn't really matter.
I'm non-denominational, but I'm going to a Methodist church (Just clearing that up, because I'm pretty sure different sects see this differently). We just had a series of sermons about marriage, and as part of this series, the pastor talked about sex. Basically, what he said is that sex is not a bad thing. It's a pleasure that God created for us and something meant for us to actually enjoy. It's like a gift. The thing about sex is that when done properly (properly as in with your spouse, or someone you love) it's a beautiful thing, but when people take the "gift" of sex and turn it into trash, then it can become destructive. So many people view Christianity as "be abstinate because if you're not, that's a sin, etc etc etc." But, if you really think about it... Sex CAN be destructive when abused. I'm sure there are tons of people here who have regretted having sex with a certain person from time to time. And at the same time, with the right person and at the right time, sex is beautiful. How do you interpret Christianity and it's view on sex? |

Sex before marriage (during engagement, with a partner, with a lover) is wrong. So basically, have sex with you spouse and thats it. Sure sex is a wonderful thing, and it's even more wonderful with one person only...

I'd like you to point that one out to me. Sorry, I agree with Starlet on this debate...the whole idea of Marriage back then is totally different then today. |
