Desire

[mepalmer3]

I'll add in short that from the christian perspective I believe we feel that God gives us our desires. My desire for sex is a desire given to me by God. My desires for sex outside the confines of marriage are my own desires that are a perversion of the desire God gave me.

Trying to isolate one sort of desire outside of the way it is meant to be is generally considered wrong in christianity. It's like trying to isolate the taste of food from actually eating meals by eating and then throwing the food back up.

To make this as brief as possible:
Some desires are good--for good things, with good motives, etc.
Some desires are bad--for bad things, with bad motives, etc.
To have a desire is not sinful. To dwell on a "bad" desire, feeding it, making it stronger, or of course to act on it, is a sin.
