Answer 3

Sexual interaction between an adult couple surely leads to new life or ....... DEATH!! Imagine the condom not working or the pill not functioning and suddenly you find yourself pregnant?

You did not want this pregnancy, but it will certainly lead to one of two choices. Either decide to keep the baby or to abort it. If you abort, you are really murdering a potential human being, who if left alone without you doing ANYTHING, would some day be born and grow up to be a child and a man or woman later.

In contrast if some good and moral person, especially Catholics would never choose the murder/abortion option if they are religious, especially Catholics, they may choose to have the child. This again becomes a problem if one of the spouses is from a different religion or culture.

I hope I am making sense to you

Answer 4

sex is a sin, but you are blind to the truth. A godly man is suppose to have the sexual knowledge of one woman. But you all have the sexual knowledge of many. You breed for God and that is the sin. 1 John2:15-16. for the love of the father is not in the flesh, that is what causes you to be attracted to the opposite sex. With the love of the father, you will be attracted to only one woman. So only a miracle can this be given and the only way to get it is to seek for the fathers love, heaven.

Answer 7

In the Bible sex is not considered a sin. God created sex and designed it for marriage. Sex outside of marriage is a sin against one's own body, according to God, the one who created sex in the first place. I figure he should know, and so I take his word for it.

Blessings.

I don’t believe there is total sexual satisfaction outside Jesus Christ.
— Billy Graham

Whether you interpret the Bible as literature or as the final word of whatever God may be, Christianity has given us an image of death and sexuality that we have based our culture around. A half-naked dead man hangs in most homes and around our necks, and we have just taken that for granted all of our lives.
— Marilyn Manson

In a sense, the religious person must have no real views of his own and it is presumptuous of him, in fact, to have any. In regard to sex-love affairs, to marriage and family relations, to business, to politics, and to virtually everything else that is important in his life, he must try to discover what his god and his clergy would like him to do; and he must primarily do their bidding.
— Albert Ellis, Ph.

But the most heinous crime of the Church has been perpetrated not against churchmen but against churchgoers. With its poisonous concepts of sin and divine punishment, it's warped and brainwashed countless millions. It would be impossible to calculate the psychic damage this has inflicted on generations of children who might have grown up into healthy, happy, productive, zestful human beings but for the burden of antisexual fear and guilt ingrained in them by the Church. This alone is enough to condemn religion.
— Madalyn Murray O'Hair, Playboy Interview (October, 1965)

Of the delights of this world, man cares most for sexual intercourse, yet he has left it out of his heaven.
— Mark Twain

Homer: "Uh, kind of ... but ...."
God: "But what?"
Homer: "I'm not a bad guy! I work hard, and I love my kids. So why should I spend half my Sunday hearing about how I'm going to Hell?"
God: [pause] "Hmm ... You've got a point there."
