This topic is borne out of the weave of confusion I've gotten in over the bible verse -Hebrews 13: 4 -Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

I have always interpreted this part of the bible as to mean preserving the honor and sanctity of marriage,infidelity being unacceptable, the christian valuing their relationship with spouse so highly and avoid defiling the marriage bed by keeping themselves from any kind of external sexual relationship while married and to mean that all violations of the marriage
covenant will be severely punished by God.

I had to take a bible class a few weeks ago where this topic was the discourse. I totally got confused. I was being made to understand that "the bed undefiled" means a christian couple could defile their own bed by engaging in some certain unconventional sexual practices. That it was a violation of God's word and defilement for christians to bring in "these certain sexual practices" to their bed.

Well,though it wasn't explicitly described,I understood them to be particularly talking about the orals and some other kinkies..
A friend at this meeting also mentioned to buttress their points that during her marriage counselling,their were things they had forbade them to engage in sexually as christians.

Even though I disagree,I would really like some other point of view or another interpretation of this bible verse.

That verse is often read 'into' or read in a superlative 3D mode. You can understand scriptural difficulties when you follow context and study word meanings USING CONCORDANCE.

So, get a concordance, word meaning each words used and place your meanings back into the context. You will get a whole different meaning and interpretation from the religious interpretation.

Bless you!

@OP

You did not specify what these "unacceptable" sexual practices are, so leaving us nothing really to comment on.

As far as I'm(my christian doctrine) concerned the only practices I call fornication are either unnatural sex(eg: homo/bi-sexuality, bestiality, etc) or unlawful/non-consensual(cheating, rape, etc) sex. These principles apply very well to the "bed undefiled".

Jesus Christ, this person goes to church? Is it a satanist church?

see the type of things she spews here:

slimyem: Why are you so pained?

Is being so old too unpalatable a tag to wear?

What has what I view in the news got to do with the fact that you are a miserable grumpy woman with mostly twisted views and warped perceptions?

If I've seen 30 many moons ago,I'd glory in it not carry bile inside of me everywhere I go just like you do.

...and btw,I'll stay in anything I choose to on NL regardless of who it concerns. You should have gotten used to it by now. If you haven't though,please do. I'm your cancer!!!

see as you destroy your personality

out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.

she can even open her mouth to say she went to bible class?

shameless or is it clueless.

i'm not sure why some people wear church like fashion tag when they'd actually be better off openly pagan.
