Is it Sex bad for a christian.

Sex means having sex with your own parter,

that is to say to have sex practice between husband and wife.

Or christians should not have sex for enjoyment, is it only for reproduction?

enjoying sex...is it a sin ? ( not illegal relation ship, I am never talking about it, I know well it is a sin).

Nah......enjoy it! God made all of our body parts to work exactly as they do! And He said it was good. Reproduction is just a side effect or a result of enjoying a wonderful, loving relationship with your spouse or partner. Sex is a wonderful thing for a christian. Dont let the twisted, puritan ideals squash your fun with the hubby! God set out the guidelines for an acceptable union. At no time, did he EVER say it wasnt to be enjoyed! :-6

Sex, I think, is cool. The priests would condemn me to hell but they are still priests. Reproduction? What is that?

Sex was designed to be guarantee that our specie's continued, it's part of our nature!.........what is not inbuilt into our design is the idea that enjoying sex is a sin! that has been implanted into your faith somewhere along the line,......an idea to arrest your normal functioning! I personally feel it messes people up.

I can understand why we need to channel our primal urges into respectable and safe ''safe-ish'' institutions like marraige and purchasing your own home, and a safe environment for your kids to grow in,........thousand's of years ago or hundreds of years ago even! men would kill one another for land and the spoils of whatever came with it, and we are still doing that today, we have not changed much then have we? except in our technological progress!..........I would give yourself a bit of rope on this one Amale! if your in a loving relationship ''a legal one'' why should you hold back?

Repression of human sexuality is a horrible thing with many nasty side effects. I thought we were the animals with intelligence. Why does our intelligence tell us to repress ourselves. Innately it doesn't. Without this learned behaviour we would be expressing our sexuality rampantly and be much healthier. We still do but it has to seep it's way in throught the cracks.

lime-sterman · Post by **lime-sterman** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 12:51 pm

We repress in order to gain some projected end! maybe in this case it's the fear of offending God through sin! ........and in sinning isolate themselve's through seperation from God in this way........so repressing these instincts in some way keep's them in favour with God!

We have these inbuilt instinct's first, the idea that these instinct's are wrong and can only be channelled in a particular way is secondary to the way we are designed! so maybe it's not intelligence that's making us steer our instinct's but fear instead! does not fear also seperate you from God?

Not sure what you are talking about? Seems like a jumbled up mess of words? Repress to gain projected end? You are not talking about what i think you are?

Paula :-6 You are too funny! If it is that projected "end" then it may indeed be sinful.

It seems to me a jumbled mess of concepts. The idea that sex is sinful is the repression I was talking about. Teaching sinfulness of something natural is repression and results in all sorts of nasty results. Sexual deviance in the church as it has been plagued is more than enough evidence. Whatever the conceived benefit it is still repression. Fear of sex and sexuality is a sickness.

The purpose of sex is to reproduce. It is to be enjoyed with your significant other. Getting into marriage because you want to have sex as opposed to choosing the partner you love has happened to a lot of people and I think that that is why the dovorce rates are so high in the western culture. Better be with the one you love because you love them than to be with one you lust.

Plenty of songs and dances about how people have forgotten that marriage is about love and not lust. The sexually repressed eventually get out of marriages because they understand that it was not for the right reasons. They may not know the specific reasons but they sense that there is something missing and look for it elsewhere.

Getting trapped by sexual needs and urges eliminates the ablity to find the woman or man of your heart. It is that that the churches have built their power on throughthe centuries. There are more good and sincere people in the chuches of the world, but they are being sold a bill of goods and foisting it on their unknowing, repressed laity. Indiscriminate sex is not the answer either. There is disease and death in that sexual practice.

If the purpose is just to reproduce I might stop! Yikes.

I thought it helped people actually appreciate being in their bodies. A bonus side effect to being in a big waterfilled sack'o'skin.

I never respond to threads that mention Rape and Child Abuse. These are the areas that are sinful. Any teaching that sex is wrong between (2) consenting adults is a waste of time. You would have to be a "Brain" washed God freak to believe sex is sinful. What Next?

Who mentioned rape and child abuse Paula?

The thread that i said ''we repress in order to gain a projected end'' meaning in the context of thread 1, that we repress our natural sexual instinct in order to [in reference to the end] ''to stay in favour with God'' we don't repress for nothing! we alway's do it to gain some other objective! the objective or end in this case maybe was the fear of offending God through sin, because if you are religeous sin seperate's or isolate's you from God!

Maybe i did take the analogy in thread 4 a little far from the original in thread 1, but i think it still stand's! you just have to look at Croatia and Bosnia also Rwanda in recent year's, and what they did to them there! repressed anger and hatred has caused a lot of grief worldwide, repression is dangerous!

I'm a Christian and I am in favour of appropriate sexual activity. Whether one is Gay of straight is of little consequence.

Shalom

But what is "appropriate"?

I say that two (or more

) consenting adults are appropriately doing anything they both consent to. Pretty broad definition but I stand by it (if you take the bracketed part out).

I can read above this (i mentioned them as sinful.) You asked the question. This is where the projected end should be castration (neutering).

No further comments, don't make me call the police. :yh_beatup

I can go along with two consenting adults. That would be appropriate. I think we both have the same ideas as to what would be inappropriate.

Shalom

There is something about the title here. Christianity and Sex implies a discussion on the various Christian views regarding sex for pleasure vs for procreation. As the title stands, there are two nouns competing for attention. Sex is guaranteed to get attention every time. Then there is the double space between "Christian" and "and". I think there are some missing words. Where's the guy who started this?

for what?........for having a viewpoint! :wah: :wah:

its obviously not the skewed twisted version you interpreted! everything i needed to say is in thread 22.

What do you say Amale after hearing all these views on this?

I say, the more sex you have the better. I have an insatiable sex drive that is full-filled regularly. Just be careful these days of who you have sex with and use protection and I dont see anything wrong with it. Making love with the person you truly love, there is nothing like that, the best feeling ever. But sometimes having wild sex, with whoever or someone youve know for a while, is great too. Like I said though, just be careful and get to know them a little bit first.

RSF, you were conditioned that is was good. I knew it was good, but you really explained it as REAL good. Thats Okay. Bee happy and enjoy, it could STOP tomorrow.

Oh I know it could, thats why you have to get it all while you can. But im in a committed relationship, so as far as going out and doing the "find the chick for the night thing" thats done and over. Although we do bring others in to join the fun once in a while.
