    What do you think about masturbation?

    It is indeed a sin to engage in intimate relations for any other reason than procreation. Therefore, if a man engages with a woman who is known to be barren, he is indulging purely for the sake of his own selfish pleasure, which is not to be countenanced. If he continues in his selfish, lustful...

    Are you a TRUE BELIEVER or a chooser?

    The Word of God was in the beginning with God and was God. The Bible comes to us from God. It is what God intends us to read. It is what God intends us to live by. It is God's Word. Therefore it is the Word of God. And the Word of God was born in Jesus Christ and the words of Jesus Christ (the...

    Is Sexual Relations Only Purpose Procreation?

    That is your interpretation.

    Is Sexual Relations Only Purpose Procreation?

    I'm sorry you seem to have misunderstood my intention. I will not pass personal judgement on an individual as it is not my place to do so. In the second quote you draw attention to, I am merely expressing my belief and interpretation of the Bible without passing personal judgement on specific...

    I have already explained my position on that in another thread, but if you missed it, I'm happy to repeat it here: As far as dinosaurs are concerned, nowhere in the Bible does it mention the earth being overrun with these tacky and ridiculously far-fetched 1950s B Movie monsters. The skies...

    Is Sexual Relations Only Purpose Procreation?

    It is certainly not for me to comment on what you choose to get up to in the privacy of your own home. Only God is privvy to what you do behind closed doors. God Bless

    Are you a TRUE BELIEVER or a chooser?

    I fail to understand why you're having a hard time believing I'm 'real', have I missed something? My father did indeed birch me whenever I transgressed. This helped me enormously, as I have previously explained, although I have never claimed to be perfect. What I can't tolerate is willful...

    Now this is silly. I do not deny the existence of something simply because it does not appear in the Bible. However, I do deny the verity of scientific claims which flagrantly contradict the passages in the Bible. The Bible explicitly tells us how the world was created in 7 days. It also tells...

    Is Sexual Relations Only Purpose Procreation?

    The fruit provided Eve with the knowledge of good and evil and took away her innocence. Evil manifests primarily in sex, avaricousness, greed and violence. This meant that the divine experience of procreation through intimate union was forevermore sullied and defiled with base lust, carnal greed...

    Are you a TRUE BELIEVER or a chooser?

    I don't recognize the quote but it certainly isn't Biblical. Do you intend a lewd connotation? God Bless

    Is Sexual Relations Only Purpose Procreation?

    Peace be with you, Mister Emu. You speak righteously. This is the point I have been making all along and is certainly not contradicted in the Song of Solomon as far as I can see. Intimate union can only be pure and good in the context of marriage where procreation is the objective. This indeed...

    Are you a TRUE BELIEVER or a chooser?

    How right you are, graceabounding. Peace be with you. You offer the voice of reason and set us all a fine example. It is certainly not for us to interpret the Bible as we please, making up our own rules in the process. In choosing that path, we could justify all kinds of foul debauchery by...

    I am so pleased, Xenia, to finally encounter a post from someone who is prepared to fully embrace the Word of God without compromise. There is no doubt that secularists (who surely are unwittingly doing the work of the Devil) have done much to undermine the authority of the Word in the minds of...
