I was told in bible study that when you have sex with someone you make a spiritual connection and form soul ties. How is this possible when men usually don't get emotionally involved during sex. It is mostly females which bring me to this question...does it only apply to females? Also, do you think that if the person has a spirit of jealousy, spirit of adultery, spirit of homosexuality (etc)...will the person they have sex with get it too? I don't think that can happen. if you do think so please explain how?

Soul ties don't depend on emotion. You don't have to love, like, or even KNOW a person to create a soul tie with them. Women are not the only ones who can get soul ties; but just like with conditions like depression, women are more likely then men to say something and try to get the condition addressed.

There is a distinct possibility that you can "catch" someone's spirit from having sex with them, because of the way God designed sex to work. He made sex to make one person out of two (1 Corinthians 6:15-16). When you have sex with someone you have no intention of staying with, when you leave that person, you take a little bit of their soul with you, and they take some of yours with them. (Think of it like taking a sticker off a painted wall; when you peel the sticker off, the wall has some of the sticker left on it, and the sticker has paint on it.) You don't get to choose the part of that person's soul that gets left with you, so often it's the yucky parts: their foul temper, their jealous nature, etc. You might even find yourself acting in ways that are totally unlike you. Well, they're NOT you; they are the person you slept with last week!

The safest thing is to not engage in sex before marriage. While this can be very difficult sometimes, it's not impossible; count on the power of the Holy Spirit to help you. If you already have had sex and you're not married to whoever you slept/are sleeping with, it's never too late to stop. God is forgiving when we are truly repentant, and He'll help you get back on the right track.

I believe that when two people have sex they each leave a part of themself in the other person, psychologically. Without the other person they'll never really be whole again. Is that what you mean by soul tie?

If so, then here's my answer: This Bible study of yours sounds like it's into some really strange stuff. Find a church that doesn't look for demons under every rock. The Christian life is hard enough without putting that kind of stuff on you.

Besides, if the Holy Spirit is living inside you, do you think God would cohabitate with a demon? If you're a Christian, you don't have spirits of anything except the Spirit of God.

Sex does not necessarily create a soul tie, nor does not having sex necessarily prevent a soul tie. David and Jonathan had a soul tie and I do not believe it had anything to do with homosexual tendencies as some would assert. I believe their friendship was so deep that they became "bound" to each other in a spiritual sense. I believe that there is a love that transcends boundaries and has nothing to do with the physical intimacy aspect of love (as in the case of David and Jonathan). Sex creates a different kind of "tie," not necessarily a soul tie or even a emotional tie but you become "connected" to that person in a spiritual sense that I don't have a specific name for but it is very real. Unhealthy soul ties have to be broken in the Spirit by the power of God through prayer and intercession by someone who knows how to utilize the concept of binding and loosing in the Spirit. I've never seen anyone able to do it on their own without help.

The idea that men don't get emotionally involved is a lie. They may not get as involved as women do but they certainly get involved emotionally, almost every time. There may be some exceptions here and there, like with prostitutes and men tend to hide their emotions but they definitely get emotionally involved. The two do become one flesh in the spiritual realm (Genesis 2, II Corinthians 6, Matthew 5, and maybe other passages too).

Demons travel from person to person pretty easily. Sometimes they travel from a person simply laying hands on you to pray for you. I have known cases of that in my own experience (one lady actually had a nervous breakdown not long after a woman with an evil spirit on her prayed for her) and I don't let just anybody pray for me for that reason. However, if you are walking uprightly, not in sin, and you have Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you have the Holy Spirit to protect you from evil spirits. You also have authority over Satan. He was defeated at the cross. How this works exactly is kind of confusing, but you should be living a monogamous life and you won't have to worry about that. In any case, you should be more concerned about what God is doing than what Satan is doing.

What sort of Bible Study do you attend?
I think someone has been misapplying 1Corinthians 6:15-17. Sex is reserved for marriage, for the uniting of husband and wife into one flesh.as Genesis says. Because the Holy Spirit lives in you, having sex with a prostitute (the context of the passage), brings Him into your sin as your audience, front and center. (and all God's people said, "Yuck!") As a Christian, your body no longer belongs to you but to God.
Soul ties? That's a stretch.

You make those "spirits" sound like STDs that can be passed along.
No, no one has "jealousy spirits" or "adultery spirits", but rather attitudes that tend toward sinfulness. Those attitudes are always choices we make to disobey God. We can at any time, choose to follow Him, not our wicked desires.

Dear One
Your body is a temple of the living God, when you have sex with anyone, it should be out of pure love, that is when the two soul become tied. You were not put on this earth for the pleasure of man. You are a one of a kind creation, created in the image of God. and you have much value. you represent the famine essence of God, God is not only a male she is also female. If you read the dead sea scrolls Jesus is refer ed to in the gospel of Mary Madelene, as Jesus Maria, and Jesus refer ed to God as his Mother Father Parent. So my point is, don't feel you have to give some man sex, because it is his right. it is not his right, God gave you free will, honer you temple. God Bless you dear One. Love and Prayers Cindy.

When a man and a woman have sex that emotion stays with them for seven years, their souls literally join together, and become one, and it takes that long for them to separate but not totally, part of their energy stays with them for life, being a spiritual being is an incredible mystery.

I believe this was asked of Christ as a trick to catch him in his words. It was about a man's wife dying and he remarries. The question was when he gets to heaven, which will be his wife. Christ answered that marriage was of the flesh, that they become one flesh. Either by sex or marriage the soul is not bound.

Ok, first of all, who is your Bible teacher? Second, God is strong against sex out of marriage. He created it for marriage, not outside of it. He doesnt like Homosexuality either! I really want to talk to your Bible leader, and tell him right from wrong!

Sex is a physical connection. You have been taught something that is not a Bible truth and I don't think there is any grounds for believing it.
