Christian view of "sensuality" and pleasure

[Bakytjan]

As an "agnostic" or bad/weak Christian, I known that Christianity warns others about sensual things like eating, sex, attractiveness, a lot of this stuff. But, do you think God meant to create the system we see as if those are always inherently evil or sinful?

Jesus also even said in Matthew 22:30 (there was also another iteration elsewhere in the bible) that "they will neither marry, nor be given in marriage..." so it seems that Jesus said we won't be married or have a similar kind of intimacy with the opposite sex of any kind at all in Heaven. That is one thing that made me feel even repulsed and one part that "helped" my faith slowly wither until the point today.

I don't feel like I can completely accept Jesus or God anymore. I used to be more spiritual or at least tried to be when I was younger, I thought that I was going to be able to have a partner, but the narrative about not being with someone who I can look at with physical passion, be naked with, and have an exclusive intimacy that I could've missed seeing on earth (seems that there is a two-tiered system in place) have made me disillusioned. I also became more disillusioned because I was born at the time where my generation will be the one alive to see everything become really awful and then it would just end.

That is kind of where it stems from, why do you believe it is fair too? That other people, Christian and non-Christian alike got to acquire something that seems to be denied to a significant group of people who desire it but are denied it, either because God said no or the world makes it hard or difficult in some way?

What about when God said we will see whatever we would desire? Is desiring a partner of the opposite sex to be with somehow unclean to God or has become unclean in his eyes? At least a lot of Christians seem to have a subconscious belief thinking so.

I want to close here for now.

Sorry I’m Shamanist, so I can’t answer. Just sounds quite interesting as if Christianity decrees asceticism? Asceticism can be good for spiritual quest, but for the strong. The average people can’t handle it, or they need to grow first. Could you please re-word your question for me in simple way?

What if I said that going to pornography was acting as a symptom of and not necessarily just a cause? That he has lived and experienced women that either all rejected him, took his money, or caused him any bad experience in the past, but the women in the pornography can't directly harm him as they are actors on a screen?

I am aware that pornography does have bad long-term health consequences, but it's still understandable that people use it as an escapism when real life fails to fulfill.

And if sex outside of marriage is wrong, shouldn't Leviticus say "thou shalt not have sexual relations with any woman that thou art not married to" or "thou shalt not have sexual relations with a woman unless thou art married to her" or something? How come the Greek phrase sex ektós gámou isn't in the New Testament? Edit: Or the Hebrew equivalent in the Old Testament?
I understand the seventh commandment. But adultery is just a person with someone else's spouse, or a married person with someone other his/her their spouse. What's the Hebrew word for adultery?
And I understand 1 Corinthians 7:2. Fornication is porneia, which is not the same as sex ektos gamou.
Is Sex Before Marriage Forbidden in the Bible?
I would like you to comment on that post and tell Lee Woofenden why you disagree. I want him to hear your points, because they are good.
Edit: How come progamiaíes schéseis isn't in the New Testament? Or the Hebrew equivalent in the Old Testament?
