It isn't the agape love part, it is the lust part. It is certainly not sin to love everyone. The Directive from God concerning sex is this:


Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.



Gen_9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

Chapter and verse where your interpretation of what the anus was created for?

Are evangelicals also saying oral sex is unseemly and deviant?

He's focused solely on that, but somehow we're the perverts.

The Bible isn't Him, the Bible only points to Him. Yes, we do study the Bible. But we should realize it isn't the end all, be all. Christ is.

And those that condemn you cannot see nor understand this. Well said GG.

So, men and women are supposed to be fruitful and multiply, but not lust? That seems to turn procreation into a pretty rote, animalistic act IMHO. BTW, if G-d didn't intend for people to enjoy sex, then why did he create body parts that allow them to do just that? Or are they supposed to ignore those pleasure-giving body parts and just lie there and think of England?

You read that in the Bible, didn't you

Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”

He taught them to preach the Gospel, and they did exactly that, plus wrote it down for future generations.

You still don't get it. We are using the scriptures just like Jesus did to show you by them that you are in error in regards to them and the Way of the Father.

The odd occassion that Jesus quoted them was to correct the fundamentalist of his day. You really should do your research on how many times it is recorded in the NT Jesus quoting the scripture(not the gospel writers quoting scripture, Jesus quoting them). You will be amazed.
