Why do alot of christian act as if sex and money are bad things?

Question

What's wrong with wanting to be financially secure and having a good sex life?

Answer 1

Because money is the root of all evil and sex is a dirty, naughty thing unless it's done within the confines of marriage.

Answer 2

There's nothing wrong with being financially secure.
It is "good stewardship" to properly manage your finances. It is bad stewardship to run up huge credit card debts and lose your house to foreclosure.

There's nothing wrong with a good sex life within marriage.
(those last 2 words should make all Christians happy. If not.. see below)

************

Misinformed Christians mess up the quote "The love of money is the root of all evil" and delete the first 3 words.

Money is "just stuff" It is inanimate. It is unthinking. Its pretty hard for a coin or dollar bill to be evil.

Misquopting seems to be a favorite habit of some groups. You can misquote the Bible easilly by taking phrases out of context.

The "verse" numbers were ADDED by the translators as references to aid in the translation process. The Bible is the only book known where every translation printed has the translators' reference numbers included.

Also the chapter breaks are often estimates done durring early translations. They don't always work out correctly. The original scrolls had just huge blocks of evenly spaced hebrew or greek characters. No spaces. No punctuation, sometimes... no vowels.

Mistranslation and misinterpretation runs rampant.

There are groups that think the "King James Authorized Version" is the ONLY accurate translation. In actuality, its a PURPOSEFUL mistranslation done expressly to please King James. He turned down 2 previous versions by the same translators...

The English work "Baptize" is a result of the "transliteration" (using a modified word from one language in another language) of the Greek "Baptizmo" King James believed in sprinkling. Baptizmo means 1) immerse 2) Dunk 3) Drench 4) inundate. Sprinkling is guaranteed to NOT fit that word.

THAT is just one of hundreds of things done in the King James Authorized version just to make the king happy.

Answer 3

Neither are bad as long as they are used correctly. Sex before marriage in my church is seen as wrong. It is something to be shared with your spouse. And in these days, sex is everywhere. You almost can't turn on the tv, or read anything without sex in it. It is thrown around so casually now that isn't seen as anything sacred or special. It is just something to do even when you don't love that person.

Money is a good thing, as long as you know how to use it to your favor. But it can be a b ad thing. Some people use it for their own gratification. Today, it's better to have everything you want then to save and have money for when you really need it. Money can corrupt someone, if not taken as a blessing and as something to keep and save. A lot of people these days get in trouble with money. They get credit cards, and loans and buy everything they can think of and then can't pay the bills. There are more bankruptcies declared now then there ever was. People are forced to have things repod and then they turn around and buy something else that they can't afford. I know someone right now that is in this situation. She bought an expensive house, new car and new furniture for her house, all in the same week. Now she can't pay for food, or her bills on these items. She has gotten herself so far into debt that a bulldoser couldn't get her out of the hole she has dug. This happens over and over. That's why some see money as evil. If used correctly, and with restraint, money can be a good thing.

Answer 4

Sex and money are both good - very good! Sex was given by God to us. There is one hitch, though....to please God, we need to exercise this gift within the context of God's design, marriage. It won't get any better than this. Sex outside of marriage is displeasing to God. He says it many times in the Bible. Money is not a bad thing either. Some Christians are blessed with a lot of it. It happens to be the LOVE of money that displeases God. If we as Christians keep things in the right perspective, money can be used to do many good things. This is not against God's will.
Get married to your Christian soul mate, have a wonderful sex life within the bounds of that marriage, work hard, make a lot of money. Bless others, support your local Body (the church), don't covet what others have. In other words, treat money like it is a gift from God because He owns everything, you know.
What would it prosper a man to have the whole world, and lose his soul?

Answer 5

Sex isn't a bad thing when you are married. Once you are married have fun! It's only bad when you do it before marriage. What you got to understand is sex is actually the becoming of one flesh with the other person. When you have sex with that person, you become a part of them. So that is the ideal thing to do when you are married and in love with that special woman. But it becomes ackward when you do it with everyone in site and become a piece of all these people who are meant for someone else. Think of it, would you like to feel that other person with the one you love?

Sex is just fine, Christians love it with their wives and husbands. Even the Bible says better to be married than burn with passion. But it makes clear on what it thinks about someone serial fornicating with everyone in site.

Answer 6

Nothing is wrong with sex and money. It is smart to have a financial plan and who doesn't want a great sex life? God does not condemn money or sex but calls us to use these gifts in a God glorifying manner.

Answer 7

She does not sound like a staggering individual era however the ingredient to bear in concepts is that christians are not appropriate, only forgiven. Does that advise we are able to bypass around and do issues then ask forgiveness and be positive, NO, yet human beings do it. And its going to be them status in the past God on judgement day. that's what provide Christianity a undesirable call. however the massive ingredient to me is that a Christian will no longer be somebody who acts like an angel each and all of the time, we shrink to rubble too. yet do no longer think of it incredibly is appropriate right here. She is utilising her christianity as an excuse to decide others and in my opinion she would pay for that for the period of the top.

Answer 8

Nothings wrong with money or sex so long as you lead a life by the word of God

Answer 9

Because Christians are weak. They need someone else and a 2000 year old book to give them their morals and ethics to go by. They can't follow their own and just in case they think something for themselves they are scared back into their "senses" by a place called hell.

They consider sex and money bad because since they are weak in the first place they can't handle either one.

Answer 10

FINANCIAL BLESSINGS are given, that we be good stewards over them; and use our gain or excess to help others without.

Sex is altogether good; when it is within the confines of a MAN & WOMAN marital union.

That is what real Christians SHOULD believe. Unfortunately, too many of my kind (lol) do not do things this way. AS THE LORD WOULD HAVE US to do them.


in Christ w/love,

Answer 11

There is nothing wrong with both. What you do with the money and who you have the good sex life with are the important issues.
