if lust is such a deadly sin, how is man supposed to procreate? i know what you're thinking, "well, it's not lust if you're married." but the simple fact of the matter is most people don't get married unless there's that physical attraction there to begin, and most of the time that attraction is not mutual, thus people don't end up getting married, but the lust is still there? so how are we supposed to know who to marry and ultimately procreate with if there is not that lust there to begin with? do we just marry people who we think we might someday have sexual feelings for?

Well this is rather simple. Love. If you truly love someone, then their physical appearance is not the most important thing. To be attracted to someone does not necessarily mean you are lusting after that person. It's all about love. A relationship should not be based on sex. It should be based on love for one another. Thus, you can procreate without lust.

I think it more applies to the fact that making love is an unselfish act. If you are both doing it for the other then you both get what you need out of it. Everything about love is unselfish, and when you make love the woman gives here body to a child to grow and develop. Willing to go through the pains of labor to bring them life. That is unselfish. Then the two of them love and raise that child together. Lust is a completely selfish act. And just because you're married doesn't mean you can't lust toward your wife or husband.

It's considered sexual attraction rather than lust! Lust means you feel no love, and that all you want is to have sex and that is it...that you are just looking at and wanting the flesh....Loving someone means that you love everything about them...on the inside and out!! So it really isn't considered lust if you're truly attracted to someone's heart, their physical beauty, and their inner beauty all at the same time!! It is true that some get married because of having lustful feelings, with no true feelings of love involved....but in order to really WANT or FEEL COMPELLED to have a family with your mate, there has to be love and compassion....not lust!!

There is a difference between "lust" and "attraction" just as there is a difference between "murder" and "killing." Not all killing is murder, and not all attraction is lust. "Lust" refers to a depraved, faithless, carnal desire and excessive meditation for sex which revolves entirely around self-gratification. God never said finding someone sexually attractive is a sin - nowhere in the Bible will you find a Scripture that specifically says "being sexually attracted to someone is sin." How could God possibly say that when it is He who created both male and female?
God never places any prequalifications on the selection of a spouse (aside from forbidding homosexuality and the marriage of close relatives) - its up to you to choose who you marry and for what reason. If you want to marry someone because you find them physically attractive, that's your business ... welcome to the human race. God has no condemnation for a man being attracted to a woman. What God does have a problem with is people operating without any self control or restraint, engaging in premarital sex or sleeping with multiple partners without any regard for the divine purpose of sex.

Desire for one's husband or wife is NOT considered lust. Lust is sin. Period. It's a feeling for someone outside the bonds of matrimony.
Married people are SUPPOSED to feel desire and passion for each other. That's the wonderful thing about being married! God has sanctioned it and it's beautiful!

Good question. Lust is a power that can operate from within or from outside. If from outside, then most people civilise it. However, if from within it cannot be civilised, except by deliverance. As both conditions apply to all people there is usually little problem in getting marred. But lust does change with time and can and does get bored with a partner - seeking new assignations.

You take a test tube containing an human egg. You add another vial containing a man's sperm. You allow the egg to be fertilized by the sperm inside the test tube. You insert the fertilized egg into the womb of a female surrogate willing to carry the baby of two strangers to term. Voila! Procreation without lust or sex involved.
It's called in vitro fertilization.

Most of the time the sexual attraction (call it "lust" or not) IS mutual; that's why most people get married!

be conscious that your question is extremely heavily encumbered with circumstances which could no longer be validated. Is there any good data, as an occasion, that "intercourse is in basic terms meant to procreate interior of a loving marriage?" are you able to assist your declare that God created "Lust devoid of Love," or that God certainly created something?

As you mature into an adult mentally as well as phisically you will realise that there is more to a relationship than intimacy,a lot more ,yes some people do marry a sexually competative partner but when the honeymoon is over so is the relationship.real love is real it is sharing everything personal and phisical and otherwise,the birh of your children the care of them, personal health all.sex is only 1 part of many things that a couple share and a wonderfull way to express their love personally,but it is not the only thing that makes a relationship work. love and light
