+ Sex +
Sex is actually a part of the Sacrament of Marriage.
Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years that it is God's will that:
+ Single people should be celibate.
+ Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
+ Married couples should welcome God's gift of children.
The Catholic Church recognizes the power of sex when it teaches, "Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul."
Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person. A chaste person's body and spirit lives in unity and opposes any behavior that would impair that unity.
The purpose of sex is to bring a husband and wife closer and to create human life.

+ Original Sin +
Original sin is the sin by which the first human beings disobeyed the commandment of God, choosing to follow their own will rather than God's will.
As a consequence they lost the grace of original holiness, and became subject to the law of death; sin became universally present in the world.
Besides the personal sin of Adam and Eve, original sin describes the fallen state of human nature which affects every person born into the world, and from which Christ, the "new Adam," came to redeem us.

That's kind of silly...of course it IS NOT. Sex was MADE for a husband and wife- they are the only ALLOWED to have sex- how could it be a sin?????
Original sin has nothing at all to do with sex. Tell whoever told you that they are full of it.
Original sin is the first sin- the sin of Adam. Call it an apple if you want, but the original sin is THINKING WE KNOW BETTER THAN GOD DOES. And we do it every day, all the time. Any time WE decide we know what is best for us and it contradicts the teaching of God- we fall into that sin.
Baptism removes the stain of original sin- but we still have the tendency to fall back into sin. That is called concupiscience

No, sex is not a sin between a husband and wife.
Original sin is an inherited condition from our first parents, Adam and Eve. Every human being is born with original sin. However, God's grace and mercy removes this sin through the Sacrament of Baptism. We are then received into His Church as adopted sons and daughters. Most of the time, people don't remember their baptisms because they were baptized as infants.
God bless.

Sex between husband and wife is not sinful. 1 Corinthians 7:28 "If you marry, however, you do not sin, nor does an unmarried woman sin if she marries...."
We are all born into Original Sin as stated in Romans 5:19 "For just as through the disobedience of one person the many were made sinners, so through the obediedne of one the many will be made righteous."
God bless,

No, sex is not a sin. It is necessary for procreation.
We are born in orginal sin which is passed down to all of us from the beginning. It's kind of spiritually genetic.
Sex, within the sacrament of marriage is a blessing. It is a gift from God, meant to be beautiful and allows us to participate in the creation of life.

No having sex between a husband and wife is not a sin.
We are born in a world of sin. We are NOT born with sin on us.
The missionary style is the appropriate style to have sex. But, you will have some say any position, any hole is not defying the marriage bed. Boy are they wrong!!!

Sex between a husband and wife is NOT a sin, even when it's for pleasure. Some diehard Catholics will tell you that husbands and wives should only have sex if they want to have a child--and that's nonsense.

Umm no. Original sin has nothing to do with sex, it is the condition we are all born with. When you were born, you were born a human. Humans have a spiritual inheretance almost like genes, in a way. Thus all people inherit a sinful nature from their parents.

Genetically, Adam became flawed (imperfect) when he disobeyed God. God had warned him that the consequences for his disobedience would be death. Adam is the forefather of all of us and since like produces like (see Genesis chapter 1) we all inherit both the imperfection and consequences from him unless and until we accept the sacrifice of Jesus' perfect life on our behalf as a replacement (the Bible calls him the 2nd Adam). God blessed the marriage arrangement and told Adam and Eve to be joined together (Genesis 2:24). It is not a sin.

We're not. We're created in God's "image and likeness" - God is not sin. God is love. Ergo, humankind is love. We are not born in a sinful state ... that state becomes ours as we grow and make unwise decisions be that through lying, stealing, hitting ... say unkind words ... think bad thoughts - whenever we do/say/think/believe anything that separates us from God and God's loving grace.
Christianity is a manmade
Sex is a wonderful way for two consenting adults to express love to the other. What would be sinful in a husband and wife sexual encounter would be if one were abusive to the other in the sexual encounter ... in any way. Sex isn't a commodity to be given on demand - it is a sharing of one's very essence and for God to be part of the equation, love/lovingkindness must be present ... not simply lust.
