As I said, some have a stronger sex drive than others. Jesus and Paul were clear on that. They showed compassion where many in the church will not.
Unlike many sexaul sins that called for the death penalty, fornication did not. What would have happened if the Pharisee's have brought a woman caught in fornication and not adultery.
Right. You may be suited to follow Josea's example though. I mean, there's usually some complications to what you might otherwise think to be the perfect woman, or man for that matter, since nobody is perfect.
Because Man is hardwired to desire intimacy....which sex is a small part of but it is not the whole.
And for whatever reason you are missing that point.
Intimacy is more than just physical intimacy. Otherwise scriptures would say something different.
God desires intimacy with mankind. And not physical intimacy but spiritual, intellectual, and emotional intimacy.
There ends the lesson.
Actually I stand against the misuse of scripture. Way too many time Christians use verses out of context. They apply "flee youthful lust" to just thinking about sex, when the verse has nothing to do with sex.
For men sex is very important for intimacy. Read the Song of Solomon. It's all about sex and intimacy.
Song of Solomon is a metaphoric poem describing with how much passion God desires His children. Sex is a metaphor....not an actual physical desire by God. It's a word picture/explanation.
God is not a mere brute beast driven by instincts and hormones....and neither is the Christian man.
That is so funny Please tell that to Abraham who was 100 years old when HE fathered Issac and well up there when he fathered Ishmael
HUH? talk about turning verses on their heads. You took sex completely out of the Song of Solomon.
listen you can't use ones personal issues or experience to mandate a law for all. that is just not true. sexual relationship between and husband and wife are to be kept between the Husband and wife. all though the desire of one or both may lessen that is not completely true for all.
“Suppose a man has intercourse with a young woman who is a virgin but is not engaged to be married. If they are discovered, he must pay her father fifty pieces of silver." Deuteronomy 22:28..... The key there is, don't get caught.
I think the ultimate punishment for both ends up with not inheriting Eternal Life...?
