According to the Bible, God created the lust and pleasure during sex for Adam and Eve. He made them 'hunger' for one another. How can lust be considered an sin when God supposedly made us that way?

Isaiah - So you agree that God condoned premarital sex at one time. Now he's changed his mind?

Evidently I'm the only one who has read the bible for myself. And evidently, if you read as carefully as you supposedly read your bibles, I never said anything about marriage. I was talking about lust. Thanks for playing though! :D

You apparently missed some scriptures. Go back and read Genesis thru Revelation and then you will understand how God gave us, our bodies natural instinct to procreate with the opposite sex, and for it to be upright and natural. It is mankind that has turned it into lust and dirtiness, immorality and unnatural desires because most of mankind is doomed and won't listen or heed Godly standards.
You, you go back and re-read what you read, and then like I said above, read Genesis thru Revelation to get a more broader scope and completedness of comprehension. Don't just take a few scriptures and twist them up.
Do it right...get a full comprehensive understanding of it all, not just in part. When you're done then you come back and you can then teach others who are ignorant what you have learned because you will be well-informed. Be sure to pray to God for understanding before you get started each time reading.
I'll be here in a few months to see how much you've grown.
Bye for now.

It is not lust but sexual pleasure between two people who are unified. Lust is something God does condone and the definition between lust and love are two totally different things. God unified them and told them to be fruitful and multiply the earth. So in a way He married them to each other, to love, and cherish. Sex is not a sin when in holy matrimony. Know that God is holy and anything He says should be more supreme than any preacher that consecrates a marriage today. God made us sexual beings but He did not make the sin to go against His Word according to the Bible. Which is no sex before marriage because it is considered fornication.

It's not lust if you're thinking that way about your spouse. The Bible never says that they lusted after each other. Sure, they longed for each other, but it isn't lust if you're fantasizing about your own husband or wife.
Since they were perfect before the fall, even if there had been 500 Brazillian supermodels there, they would have only had eyes for each other. After the fall, lust.

Lots of things are considered a sin that are part of human nature as "god' created us. Gluttony, lust, selfishness, and homosexuality to name a few. Christians are called to be 'above' their sinful nature and give all of that over to God and live as he tells them to anyway. One of the reasons I'm not a traditional Christian anymore is because of this.

"Lust" is not what was created; a natural attraction to one another is what God gave. Lust is man's sinful nature overtaking what God created as normal.
To give you an analogy: eating isn't a sin, but gluttony is.

Where do you get this "theology" from.? It is not in the bible.
God created love..not lust. Lust is desire twisted, and comes from the evil one.Lust can never be satisfied, and is a demon.
Lust takes, while love gives.
God is love.

Sex was a gift for married people, it wasn't anything nasty, it was for reproduction and sex is suppose to be expression of love, but the Devil made to where people think nasty of it. and God didn't flip it around all nasty. He's not like that. Also in John 10:10 explains the Devil kills,steals, and destroys.

God made one woman for Adam and basically married them. He told them to be fruitful and multiply. God never said sex was bad he just said it is for after marriage and only with the person you are married to.

I believe its lust when one partner is desiring another person who they're not married to. You can lust for your wife or husband though.

According to the Bible? Can't find anything in the Bible to confirm anything you have said - deliberate misinformation?
