Does The Bible teaches that sexual relations are sinful?
Gen 1:28: "God blessed them (Adam & Eve) and God said to them: 'Be fruitful and beocme many and fill the earth.'"
Fulfilling this divine command would require that they have sexual relations, would it not? doing so would not be sinful but would be in harmony with God's purpose for the populating of the earth. some persons have thought that the 'forbidden fruit' in Eden was perhaps a symbolic reference to a divine restriction or even a prohibition of sexual relations on the part of Adam and Eve. But that conflicts with God's command quoted above. It also conflicts with the fact that, although Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit in eden, the first mention of their having sexual intercourse was after they had been ecpelled from there. Gen 2:17;3:17, 23; 4:1.
Gen. 9:1 "God went on to bless Noah and his sons and to say to them: 'Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth.'"
1Cor. 7:2-5 "Because of prevalence of fornication, let each man have his own wife and ec=ach woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to his wife her due; but let the wife also do likewise to her husband....Do not be depriving each other of it, except by mutual consent for an appointed time,...that Satan may not keep tempting you for your lack of self-regulation.:
WHAT IS WRONG IS FORNICATION, NOT PROPER SEXUAL RELATIONS BETWEEN HUSBAN AND WIFE.

God created the man and women to fit together. Sex is really a beautiful thing,its just the sinful nature of man that has made it to be a selfish lust of the flesh.I have at age 18 I have made an oath before God to save myself for my future husband. I want Gods perfect will for my life and his blessing.Sex was intended to be in the bounds of marriage.I can walk down the isle with no regrets and the white dress will HONESTLY represent my PURITY.To reproduce and have children is another blessing.As far as sex in church? I wouldn't mind if my husband is in my church. I know I will marry a Christian.

Sex in church, as a form of worship? Not an acceptable practice in CHRISTIAN churches, based on its being condemned in the Bible as it was practised in some of the heathen nations mentioned in the Old Testament.
Sex between a man and his wife is enjoined (pardon the pun) in the New Testament. In ALL other situations, it is strictly prohibited.

God wanted children to be parented by a mother and a father. Students do better in school, have better self esteem, and get into less trouble when they are in a two parent household. God knew this, He didn't need to see children have their lives damaged to give us His commandment what would cover the problems.. Jim

Fornication isn't one of the no-no's in the commandments. And, it's time we forgot about the sin of Onan, too.

Fornication isn't bad. Just a hunger for it or it without a purpose apart from pleasure or money.

That's just one of those things that have been plaguing people for time eternal.
If it is any comfort to you, the concept of original sin accounts for that paradox.

Let's put it this way, if sex were allowed in church, I might consider attending.
