Do you think God takes care about our sexual life

JESUS=G.O.A.T said:

No.... he says go out and multiply for a reason. And the term Eros(sexual) love comes straight out the Bible. Now sex before marriage though is wrong, it's called fornication. Sex with another while married is also, it's called adultery. Now in songs of Solomon sex is mentioned as being gentle or something(heard in scripture on the radio I'm kinda young to really dive into that stuff lol) of that nature so I guess he cares to an extent. But yeah

I'm pretty sure the Greek word eros does not appear in scripture. I've looked.

However, the OT does speak in Aramaic and Hebrew of sexual love between a husband and "the wife of his youth"--which would be the wife his parents arranged for him, not the ones he may have chosen later in his life.

Honestly, Christ broke with this idea: A punisher God. Of course, the God is not going to send you a desease for what you do in your intimate life. I don't belive on that. I can't. God is love. The god of Old Testament maybe was. But not this.

¿Is bad to eat? Not, but if you eat too much, in disorder, it's glutony. It's bad to sleep? Not, it's natural. But if you sleep too much, it's sloth. It's bad sex. No, but if you so it in disorder (that's not written how much, it only depends on you), it's lust.

Please, I ask you. Read the New Testament again. Don't believe in a punisher God. It's not our God. Not hate, not punishment in this life.

Thanks for your reply

At that time, some people came and reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
And He responded to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all Galileans because they suffered these things? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as well!

Or those that the tower in Siloam fell on and killed—do you think they were more sinful than all the people who live in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as well!” -- Luke 13

These verses tell me that stuff happens in this fallen world, and it has nothing to do with punishment from God. If bad stuff happened to those people over there, it's not because they were more sinful than me. And if that stuff did not happen to me, it doesn't mean I'm more righteous than they are--I'd better repent of my own sins even if nothing has happened to me.

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. -- Matthew 5

This is a fallen world. Because this is a fallen world, bad stuff happens to good people and good stuff happens to bad people.

If only good stuff happened to good people and only bad stuff happened to bad people, it would not be a fallen world, it would be a just world.

But the state of being a fallen world also means that it is an unjust world, and it will be unjust until Christ returns.

It's not inscripture just like certain Hebrew and Greek words you have to do research. The Bible has been translated... to English but people tend to forget this if you read certain portions in the Bible on this subject though you'll find where the word Eros would be. I don't have the scriptures at the moment though but yeah there are 4 different forms of love mentioned in the Bible and agape love(godly love) is the main one.

No,

Sex, something the LORD gave to us as a gift, is not bad when it is engaged in within the context in which it was divinely intended which is within marriage between a man and a woman.

It is bad and even destructive when engaged in outside of that context.

If you had merely said that sexual love appears in scripture I would--and in fact did--agree.

But you explicitly said the Greek word eros is in scripture, not "where the word Eros would be." Point out that verse, please, where the Greek eros actually appears in scripture.

24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. (Gen. 2:24)

16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” (1 Cor. 6:16)

Being so intimately merged with another causes a soul tie, an intertwining of souls. This is why the LORD has put perameters in place, that it be between one man and one woman in the sacred union of marriage ("a man...is united to his wife").

Nothing God created us to do has purely physical (worldly) ramifications. We must always consider the spiritual consequences, whether good or bad, in everything, according to His Word.

Is sex something bad? There is something wrong if the act indeed is full of love? Do you think He get's sad if you do soemthing you are programed for? Nothing wrong if it's a normal act, I think. Into an order. Something you control, inside a bounderies. What do you think about?

I realize that for christians rulers it was always the most important thing, more important than the goodness and other things that are in fact in the Holy Gospel.

Is sex bad? No, not in the proper design of marriage it isn't. It is actually a wonderful thing then.

There is something wrong with anything sexual done outside of the marriage bed.

Does God get sad if we do something we are programmed for? Yes, just about everything we are programmed to do is contrary to God's will, including and especially sex.

How can sex be bad when it´s a need just like feeling hungry, or thirsty???? Sex and love are two different things for many people but that does not make it bad.

Within the confines the Lord has established, marriage of a man and a woman. Clearly scripture denounces and calls adultery and fornication for what it is.

Radrook said:

Exegesis is necessary when scriptures are unclear. We need no exegesis for the prohibition against inappropriate behavior with animals or against incest and other sexual perversions described in the OT because he clearly tells us that he considers those things abominations. The dietary restrictions which were part of the ceremonial Law were only for the Jews under the Law covenant.

Pretty sure perversion is also addressed along with fornication and adultery in the New Testament as well.

"According to the Bible" He cares a great deal about whether or not we eat shellfish, too. Some exegesis is required.

Shellfish not mentioned in the NT, but homosexuality, fornication, and adultery are.

Stillicidia said:

Don't be deceived, thinking sin is okay.

Marriage is your answer. God knows the best match for you also.

Certain things are not inherently evil, look to Matthew 5:28
Matthew 5:28 is much bigger than any one action.

Don't be deceived, thinking sin is okay.

Not to be silly, but what does marriage exactly? I've read some definitions, but they arent universal definitions.

A man leaves his family, and cleaves to his wife. The two become one.

We are taught to marry if we want to have sex:
"Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband." - 1 Corinthians 7:2


We are taught not to fornicate:
"But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood." - Acts 15:20

We are taught to abstain from fornication:
"That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well." - Acts 15:29

Evil people are associated with fornication:
"Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers," - Romans 1:29

The early Christians reported perverse fornicators to the elders of the church. They are then commanded to "deliver such an one unto Satan":
"It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife." "...deliver such an one unto Satan..." - 1 Corinthians 5:1&5

Our bodies are not for fornication or sexual impurity:
"Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body." - 1 Corinthians 6:13

Fornication defiles the body:
"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." - 1 Corinthians 6:18

Fornication is associated with sin:
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness," - Galatians 5:19

Fornication and Christian sainthood do not mix:
"But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;" - Ephesians 5:3

We are taught to have discipline, and not take part in fornication:
"Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:" - Colossians 3:5

Fornication is associated with grieving the righteous:
"And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed." - 2 Corinthians 12:21

"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." (Acts 3:19).

Radrook said:

Celibacy can be due to Ill health, extreme age, lack of opportunity due to isolation, or a decision to spread the Gospel to others as God commanded but more efficiently. All these are not sinful. But if a person is aflame with desire and stays celibate but chooses to satisfy lust via inappropriate contentography, then his celibacy is sinful since the natural thing in such a situation would be to seek a marriage mate of the opposite sex.

BTW
Homosexuality is only partially sinful based on God's purpose to fill the Earth and making male and female relations necessary for it. Homosexuality is primarily sinful because it constitutes an intentional aberration of the way that God originally intended nature to be.

Are you positing that people choose to be homosexual?

I never said the word was specifically in the modern translations you're just confused. Look we all read things wrong and make mistakes just move on. You sound immature almost whiny tbh.
