Sex is sinful even For Married Couples (the passion, celibacy, woman)

[Marlbron]

It is often said that man is the abode of God, but his abode, like a house needs to be clean for the visitor to come in. Sin like dirt keeps the house unclean and unworthy of the Holy Spirit. The Holy spirit is Holy, it means that our daily activities like anger, taking medications, and most of all sex all cause uncleanness in our bodies making us unworthy of the Holy Spirit.

I want to focus on the most controversial which is Sex. Most of us think that marriage is a license to unlimited sex and that indeed sex in marriage is not a sin. I Am sorry to disappoint you but sex in marriage is a sin because it defiles the abode of the Holy Spirit.

From the word of Christ it is clear that the people worthy for the kingdom of God are the Virgins or the 144,000. It means that celibacy and holiness count a lot with God.

Luke 20

34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

It means that the rest of us are saved not by our righteousness but by his mercy and grace. His exact requirement is chastity, otherwise we are the children of the world. But I guess even the children of the world are graduated on a God scale of righteousness.

Let me dwell on Paul's teaching, which advocated marriage as a last resort and as a better alternative to wanton sex.

1 Cor

1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

It is clear that Paul struggled with this topic because he understood the setting under which he thought. His general conclusion is instructive.

29 But this I say, brethren, the time [is] short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
31 And they that use this world, as not abusing [it]: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

In other words keep your Sanctity and celibacy even in marriage as the time is short.

Finally he advises in 1Cor 7:5

Defraud ye not one the other, except [it be] with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.


In giving this advise, Paul understood that fasting and prayer times are periods couples come close to God and invite the Holy Spirit in their lives, by removing the sin of sex in their lives. It is only when you practice fasting and prayer after sex, that God can hear your prayer either as a couple or individuals.

Lastly Hebrews 12:

14 Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:



Holiness is an important part of relationship with our spouse and with continued sex and lack of fasting and repentance , how can we see the grace of God.

Lol, nice thing about this believe is it's self-correcting. Any group of people that have this belief die out before too long.

[Georgiafrog]

I am such a sinner. Over, and over, and over, and over again. But I'm pretty sure there's some book that says we all are.

[DiJay]

Sex within the arrangement of marriage is not a sin and is not unclean. God is the author of the marriage arrangement.

Hebrews 13:4 states “Let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.”

[little elmer]

Better to marry than to burn - meaning the passions will drive someone to enter into sin.

[Nikk]

"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. (Heb 13:4)

Being married you do not sin, if you have sex with your wife.

A virgin according to the bible is not one who has never had sex, but one who is undefiled. So, a man or woman who is married and who has had sex can still be considered a virgin according to the bible, if they are undefiled.

So, the 144,000 virgins are one specific group of people in God's kingdom. But they are not the only ones in heaven. It is written, that there will be a multitude in heaven "which no man can number"!

What a sad, sad marriage you must have.

I cannot even credit this nonsense with a real response . . . this email I received will have to suffice:

Subject: Never copy from copies
Monastery Life

A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.

He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies,not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.

The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son."

He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years.. Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot.

So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing.

"We missed the R! ?We missed the R!
We missed the R !"

His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably.

The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?"
With A choking voice, the old abbot replies,
"The word was...
CELEBRATE!!!"

Paul was a Nutcase. Remember that. The worse thing you can do to yourself is dwell on Paul's writings. he was not an enlightened teacher, he was not seeking anything other than his own agenda, and I cannot understand why 1900 or so years later anyone still cares what he said.

There are a lot of religious, historical and philosophical wirtings out there, and almost all of them are better than Paul's. If you lined them up best to wrose, he'd be somewher between LeVay and Marx.

I know, right?

How did we get here then? God said, "Go forth, and multiply!"

Did He mean math, and we misunderstood?
