I have been having this argument with someone. Is sexual desire a sin? I don't really have something tangible to say about it. I really want to know what people think about this. I really hope I will get to have an answer to my question. So I plead with everyone to give matured and biblical comments. God bless you as you do. *Waiting*

so u dont want a Quranic comment

Pls get the english right
Desire is what you so wish and you press forward to have it.
URGE means; a push, a press or impel towards something.
The later what I suppose you mean and that is what majority are giving their time to explain.

But the former is the dangerous matter because Jesus said something like... what defile a man is what comes out of his heart , so your desire came from within.
In terms of urge it may be due to your closeness to and affection towards opposite gender
That's my humble logomachy

But honestly [unholy]sexual desire is a sin towards God and offense towards man pls read joke below:
Assuming you are saying your mind out this is what will happen


YOU : Sir am have sexual desire towards your wife
BOSS: WHAT! are you crazy ... you are fired

YOU : Padi am have sexual desire towards your sister
FRIEND: are you crazy or what... touch her make I see, I will kill

YOU : Sir am have sexual desire towards your girlfriend
NAIRALANDER: You havent stop smoking weed, and I have warn you several time. .mtchew j.anja.weed e-diot

Answer this question, all other notable atheists have chickened away, but I hold you in high exteem.
Does nothing exist? If it doesn't, why does it have a name?

Maybe what d nigga wnts to ask is if masturbating is a sin

tpia6:
Do you mean lust?

is it true that people in your country answer questions with questions? There is a huge difference btwn lust and desire for sex.

sexual desire is envitable in living being except something is wrong with someone if he could not get aroused. Even, No matter how spiritual you are except one is pretending however, we must imbibe self control whenever we are not with our spouses. ''Ire ooo''

Intimate desire is not a sin.Putting it into action outside of marriage is what makes it a sin.

if I be yahoo I go say dis na d best answer

You mean congy abi?



Lemme go think about it.

Very good question.

Personal desire is inevitable, as far as you have blood flowing in your veins, it is a given.

ifeness:
Bible calls it a sin,Common sense and science calls it human nature

The Holy Bible never admits human desire for sex as sin. Please don't misinterpret the Bible

Is sexual desire a sin?....No. Sexual desire comes naturally ...whether you want it or not.To that ..somewhere in the Bible (between Genesis and Revelation!) says that if the man can't control it then he should go get a wife. If the sexual desire is ehmmm....directed at your neighbour's wife/husband then that is a sin.

ifeness:
Bible calls it a sin,Common sense and science calls it human nature

Bible calls it imperfection, which is human nature too
Yielding to it becomes SIN

All these pentecostals are capable of turning the Holy Bible upside down......most of their pastors are ignorant of theology and philosophy yet they open their mouth so wide to misinterpret the Bible....this thread is an epitome of pentecostal evangelism

EXACTLY! This is just it! No further comments.

Sexual desire is not a sin, its the human nature, its God's gift, meeting a God given desire in a God forbiddn way is where the sin is.

Sexual desire or sexual urge is not a sin, but, its a big but, i should break it down.

Your response, reaction and understanding of the subject has a lot to do with the prism through which u are dissecting it.

Generally, people dont see anything wrong in sexual desire, it is considered as being natural, and thats viewing it from the secular or social angle.

Now i wil dwell more on the Spiritual perspective, Sex is more than physical in the 1st place.

Whats the source of the sexual desire/urge u are talking about? Are you referring to lust?

Is it the sexual desire you get when you look at an induvidual who dressed indecently?

Is it the sexual desire you get when the thought of some x-rated pic u saw played out in ur mind?

What will the sexual desire result to, is it sin?

Are you married?

The fact is, if you keep ur mind busy enough and u are filled with the holy spirit such immoral desires wouldnt cross ur mind?

Even if it does, it should be managed and shouldnt be allowed to lead to sin.

Rjasan:
There are three spirits that speaks into the mind of a man.
1. Spirit of the flesh.
2. Spirit of the devil(demons).
3. Spirit of God(The Holy Spirit).
.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and rulers of the darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places.
.
The quality and quantity of the word of God you know and "understand"(If you don't understand it, it won't work for you) sharpens your life as a christian. We are not to resist sin(no form james bond) it'll end up resisting you. Joseph flee he didn't resist. So don't resist evil thoughts. Fight them off with the word of God and they'll die completely. You won't even know when they leave you. If you're a strong man and you're at war with another strong man. You need the help of a stronger man to help you defeat the other strong man.
.
The spirits of the devil or demons are principalities and you can't fight them off with your power. These spirits puts thoughts into the heart of men in form of suggestions and if you're not sensitive enough. They encourage the individual to carry out that plan. So you must realise that we are at war with powers and principalities. Who wins depends on who you feed. But thank God. For the weapons of our warfare are not but mighty through God for the pulling of strongholds and casting down imaginations. So feed on the word daily and be devoted to prayer. And every sexual or evil desire will be cleared off your mind and you'l have a renewed mind. REMAIN BLESSED.

thank you pastor....u've said it all

Its not a sin cos we're humans and there is no one who would not have sexual urge at one point or the other cos God has programmed it that way. However, fulfilling your sexual desires in an ungodly way is the sin. Having sexual intercourse with you legally married spouse is godly:doing it with anyone other than him or her is evil.

In My own views, I think sexual desire also d same thing as "lust" and according to d book of 1John 2:16 says: For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world. So, brethren, sexual desire or lustful is a SIN and is of satan not from God

Kay17:
Is there any difference between Lust and Love. In primary sch, "we" were taught that the difference between the two is that love lasts forever.

Putting aside the 'staying power' (for now), you don't believe there to be a difference between the two?

Having sexual desire is biological/human nature. If mere desire is now a sin, then we've all been sinning shamelessly 'since Adam'.

So what else is new?

@op It depends on who you are having it towards, if its your wife its not a sin but if not your wife yes it is a sin since its a sexual feeling.
