Why is God's life creating ability in the current time depenent on our sexual intercourse?
Considering God hasn't created a being since Adam and Eve why did he give up on his original method of bringing life to Earth? Was it flawed? Did he not have the time?

He "outsources".

No, He's just the ultimate Boss. How do the most powerful people get work done? They start on a job and get their underlings to do the rest of the work for them.
God created Jesus. He had Jesus create the angels and the earth and the first human pair. Adam and Eve were blessed with procreative power, so they had the ability to create more humans who would be eventually able to do the same (and so on...).
Of course, we give credit to God because the power of procreation, though often abused, is still a divinely bestowed gift. No, he does not PERSONALLY create every life, but we give Him due credit because He initially made it possible.

Well - so far - it's worked really well. Have you ever noticed how enjoyable sex is? Pretty good plan if you ask me.
I don't think I believe in the whole Adam and Eve thing. And I for sure don't think that God is a "He" - I believe It's a POWER. And It was smart enough to know that sex would work just fine as a method of procreation.

Sex between men and women was a beautiful creation of God, meant to reflect the 3 greatest virtues - Faith, as in fidelity to a spouse, Hope, as to your family prospering, and Charity(Love), as to raising children to know the beauty and sanctity of life...
as usual, Man has found a thousand ways to pervert another of God's gifts.

Adam and Eve are mythological beings. They are metaphorical for the first humans. The don't exist as real individuals, but rather are poetic representations of the time when humans first emerged from our primordial beginnigs and began to wonder about the world, to "think" about how to make tools, clothing, and to begin agriculture and hunting. At some point in time in our history we broke with the former way of living totally within our instinctive motives and began to use our cognitive abilities to figure things out for ourselves. This transformation is characterized in the story of Adam and Eve. Don't get confused by the names, its just a story. As far as sex goes this had been going on for millions of years prior and will continue for many years after. Besides helping to promote the species, its fun.

I went to a camp one time and the subject was Love, Sex, and Dating. The guy that was teaching the lessons said that sex was a gift that God gave humans so they could reproduce. But the gift of sex was to only be taken in the confines of marriage. I can't remember where the scripture is saying it though.

Thank you very much for that question. God loves us so much He wants us to be a part of the creation process. God said "be fruitful and multiply". He even made it most pleasurable and bonding to help in the process of creation. We supply the flesh part and He provides the spirit.
This flesh that we have provided will go back to the earth when we die, and the spirit will go back to God.

This shows His love for us in that He has allowed us to share in His creative work, His power, It is the result of the marital act in love to bring forth new life out of that love which is the premise of God creation

Because he knew what he was doing. Adam and eve screwed up. He wanted to give us that gift I guess. We aren't the only ones that breed. Almost every animal has to breed to multiply. And we don't have to have sex. It's a choice.

Sex is a joke in heaven? From what I understand its pretty much the same thing down here. You should see thefaces you people make when you are having sex
