3) why would god put his 2 perfect pets in the garden, tell them not to "eat the apple" (peach is more like it) and then after they "did it" change his mind and say "be fruitful and multiply" (Like bacteria).
If you can answer this question in a way that actually makes sence I might try church....of my choice... :)
Peace.

Allah wanted to challenge us with the temptation of sex to see if we would do the right thing and separate the sexes so as to have a perfect homosexual culture where woman are separate from men.

before I answer these questions...let me ask you..
Why would a mother turn on a hot stove with a hot pot and say don't touch it?(then it gives u the thought to touch it 2 see if it's hot) Why would they put a cookie jar on the table and say don't eat it? (then it makes u want it more)........however you have the choice to do obey or not. It's simply up to you!
1. sex isn't a sin.....God want's us to have sex...and lots of it!! in the confounds of marraige between a man and a woman. This is where he wants us to be fruitful and multiply. If he wanted it done faster and with more than one person he would have given adam more than one woman.
2. He never said it was an apple. The bible only say's fruit. What do you mean change his mind and say be fruitful and multiply?? In Genesis 1:28 is when he commanded this, so when both were initially created he said be fruitful and multiply( u gotta connect the timeline) when they were kicked out of Eden is when he told them the changes of child birth and how they would have to work because of their disobedience and sin.
3. The word sin is a transgression of God's law, but one of the other definitions means to be separated from God. He made two perfect beings but with FREEWILL. Otherwise they would have been robots. Who wants a robot with no free thought to love them? it's actually impossible. A robot has no need to love anything. But someone with thoughts, feelings, and free-will can choose to obey, love, and depend. He didn't have to put the tree in the garden, but he wanted to give them a choice. He told them the consequences so it's not like they were ignorant. However, they learned the difference from having a life with God and seeing how good it is......and then having a life without God (the result of sin) and seeing how much work it is.
the first few pages of the bible is man in God's perfect will......and everthing after is man trying to get back in the presence of God. It just comes down to obedience and love. Either obey and live, or disobey and die. It's a law that we see even today. Take it or leave it...believe or not! Same rules apply to the hot stove top and the cookie....mom said don't touch it...but she can't MAKE you not do it!

Sex was never a sin. It was the eating of the apple that was the sin, giving Adam and Eve knowledge of good and evil. Before that, they lived in perfect innocent bliss, sex and all. When they disobeyed God and ate the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, they became ashamed of their nakedness as they came to know and understand the nature of sin, which was unknown to them before.
This is quite different from the what you've been led to believe! The whole point is that God commanded them and they disobeyed; not that sex was ever a sin.

You are trying to interpret something literally, when it is a "spiritual" teaching, The apple grows on the tree of "knowledge of good and evil", and once it is "bitten into, or eaten" then mankind could no longer exist in that garden of EDEN. ( BECAUSE HE NOW HAD KNOWLEDGE OF EVIL) We as humans, are capable of choices, we can choose to do something good, and productive, or something destructive, and evil. Sex, in all living things is an instinctual behavior, but in man, we can choose to have it in a variety of ways, with a variety of partners, etc, and this is BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH, both mental, and physical. ie, sexually transmitted diseases, and the chance you may latch on to a fetish, or end up being sexually abused in ways you cannot fathom if your young and innocent. Many teaching written in the bible had a valid reason at the time it was written, but those reasons are not evident to us now. You need to get some guidance, or start your own spiritual study, there are many systems out there, and yes, they should all teach the same principals, the problem with organized religion is getting caught up in its allegorys and dogma ! First they want you to believe, and accept, then, take it all on faith. There are many levels to the bible, somepeople never get past the literal meaning ! And that is a real shame. One of the greatest teachings is Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.

No no no, sex isn't a sin. God made sex to populate the earth. It's only a sin outside of marriage. It's harder for people to stay abstinent now because we marry so old. People used to marry when they were like, 14, so those teenage hormones were used on their spouse. And God told Adam and Eve to eat of the Tree of Life. If they had done that before they ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, then they wouldn't have been able to be tempted. But because they were tempted, and gave in to sin, then God kept His word and kicked them out of the Garden of Eden. He said they would die if they ate of the tree, and their lives did eventually end. If they had eaten of the Tree of Life, then they would have lived eternally. I hope that answered some of your questions.

Sex, as long as it's contained within the marriage is not a sin:
Heb 13:4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
On the other hand, ANY FORM of Sex OUTSIDE of marriage IS SIN!

The basis of this question defends evil. That is a hard one to handle for beginners, but never the less is true. The evil is the idea that God made a man of flesh and bone to go lust after that kind, when in truth, man is His image and likeness, and so is spiritual. Spiritual beings don’t have sex. They are joined by God’s command and love as God is Love. So if you love flesh and its seeming pleasures, you love the perpetual lie of this age and do not love God. This is a brief truth of how things are.

Sex is not a sin when between a husband and a wife in the marriage arrangement which God himself instituted. God created the arrangement of procreation so as to populate the earth, God wants us to enjoy our lives and be happy so he made us in a way so as to enjoy the bond of love making with our spouse, to make us feel a closeness with each other that cannot be done anyother way and to have the joy of bearing children in our own likeness. Satan caused all the problems when he deceived Eve with his lies and Adam sinned against God willfully when he showed more love for Eve than God. Many of the sexual practices today are wrong in the eyes of Jehovah God and we should not practice them even if we are married, such as oral sex and sodomy, both are unclean practices. Homosexuality is against Jehovah's arrangement and goes against the natural order God set, and beastiality is sick in itself. God, through his Son, Christ Jesus will straighten all things out in due time, and that time is near, things will be returned to the way they were intended to be and all will enjoy everlasting life soon if they exercise faith in Jehovah and his Son, Christ Jesus.

no longer all Christians believe that it incredibly is. I belong to a (super) mainstream Christian church, and we do no longer believe that homosexuals are "below" heterosexuals. in simple terms because of the fact our faith is over 2000 years previous, does no longer mean that our thinking must be. to bronx b: Now the works of the flesh are ensue, that are [those]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal 5:20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Gal 5:21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I inform you previously, as I even have additionally advised [you] in time previous, that they which do such issues shall no longer inherit the dominion of God. Gal 5:22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, exhilaration, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, I examine no longer something approximately homosexuality - yet one helluva lot approximately love, peace, exhilaration, and goodness. think of approximately it. jeremy: i comprehend that's continuously pointless to point to those that quote Biblical passages approximately homosexuality. yet, your first occasion made me stop reading. in case you recognize plenty appropriate to the Bible, than you recognize that God says maximum for sure that the reason of the destruction of Sodom replaced into with the aid of a loss of charity. And, understanding what Jesus felt approximately love and compassion, it easily is clever that he might sense a loss of charity and goodness could be the downfall. once you place up such misguided issues like that, it makes human beings like me stop reading something of what you have written. in case you're so extraordinarily extraordinarily incorrect appropriate to the 1st one, why might i believe which you recognize something approximately the different issues you have published? i advise you to stop posting Scripture which you have cut back and pasted, and - instead - examine the Bible!!!

Where does the Bible say that sex is a sin?
Sex between a man and his wife is not only not a sin, it is actively encouraged in the Bible.
Husband and wife, close the bedroom door and HAVE FUN!!

Enzyte, god, and smiling bob all belong on the same bus. The first one out of town.
The bilical story of adam and eve is so far fetched, so silly, so idiotic, so untrue it taxes the mind how anyone could belive.
An enity so super, so powerful he oculd make universes and to top it off he isn't real, or of real form. He's invisable, yet he is in man's form, and he's even got a sex. He's a male, yet is supposely alone except for his angels. He decides to rape a child to give birth to his son who he than decides to have killed to save the humans, ect, ect, ect,
Can anyone tell me just one paragraph in the bible which is not plain silly?
