  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Sex is pleasurable so people keep doing it and keep producing offspring. If it was painful, you wouldn't have many martyrs sleeping for the cause. :wink: However, it's also an act of love and compassion, and sometimes lust, though mostly lust in the secular world as it seems.

Nothing wrong with it either. It's like having a donut when you're on a diet.

Sex is pleasureable because nature needs us to reproduce.

Because of our vertical position sex needs to be pleasurable for women to stop them just walking off in an upright position afterwards and letting gravity take over.

Sex needs to be pleasurable in men also so that they will keep 'doing it'.

pleasure and sex mix very well and help strenghten the pair bond and keep the mating couple together so they can raise children over a long period of time.

Sex is necessary for procreation and for pleasure. Sex is also the physical consummation of two becoming one flesh.

As far as immoral sexual intercourse, anything outside of one married man and one woman is outside of the confines of what sex was intended for. Biblically, incestuous unions were not even considered real unions. As far as homosexuality goes, I would say it is immoral in that sex is intended for two married people to become one flesh and one of the concepts of marriage is that the man is the head of the marriage. The husband is to love the wife and the wife to submit to his loving authority. That is not something that is to be abused; it means that a husband must be willing to give up his life for his wife and the wife is to help the husband to be a strong marital leader. The problem with homosexuality is that it is a marriage with two heads. Sexually, emotionally, and psychologically, homosexuality is not natural in the context of marriage.

I realize that this is not something that we are all going to agree on as we are all coming to this with differing views.

Well if you look at it, It is all unmarel. even just thinking about it is adultery. God took the rib of Man and created Woman. So it is just what Gods will is for us. He will put you through test every Day. What i do to over come it, That is if you have a problem with sexual sin, Is whear a ruberband on your rist. When ever you have a sexual thought, snap the rubberband on your rist. I hope this has helped you out some.

Genesis 38:9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother's wife, he spilled his sperm on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the LORD's sight; so he put him to death also.


Here's more:
Sex. It is really made by God to give pleasure but when it's done out of marriage, it will be a sin and will be payable by punishment from God.

I think sex can be pleasurable outside of marriage, but I think that it will not be nearly as good. In a marriage covenant, sex is more than just saying "i am attracted to you physically, or even I love you", it is saying "I love you unconditionally and would give my entire life for you. We are one not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, psychologically." I think the meaning of sex within a marriage covenant is far more profound than casual sex, even if casual sex does yield pleasure.

What do you suggest I do when I want to reproduce? Should I try ripping various bones out to see if God will create something?

What is this supposed to represent? Onan was put to death for failing to follow a tenet of Mosaic Law. But we are no longer bound to that because of, you know, Jesus and all.

Meh, Adam and Eve were annoying if you ask me. They didn't take responsibility for their actions. Adam blames Eve and Eve blames the snake.

Eve was deceived , Adam sinned willfully , and adam blamed not only eve , but also blamed God for making eve, that is why through one man sin entered the world , not through one woman . Sin is passed through the male , that is why Christ was born of "her" seed , from a virgin . Sin did not pass to Christ .
