it's no sin when channeled towards the right direction i.e in the ordained institution of marriage.

OasisofRefuge:
@op do you mean sexual urge or what? if yes, its not a sin. its normal. its God that put it in human.
but its becomes a sin when we do not have self control over our urge and allow it overpower us.

it becomes a SIN the moment you think of it

Bilogically, sexual feeling or urge is a natural phenomeno, is jst like normal response wen d nature calls, but wat makes it a sin is ur negative thought and action which lead to all kinds of immorality like, fornication, adultery, beastialism, homo-sexualism, lesbianism, incest, masturbatn etc. Jesus Christ made it clear in d bible that, it is not only wen u have a sexual intercourse wit som one that is only wen u sin, u also commit fornication wen u have d thought of havin sex wit som one.

EnlightenedSoul:


What I meant was: I can totally understand how lust (a psychological and biological reaction to visual stimuli) triggers the instinct to 'reproduce', but how so does love? It's entirely unnecessary for reproduction.

Love is a deeper form of lust expressed as the desire to possess.

It's not a sin.

But because Jesus said that if a man looks on a woman with lust in his heart he has committed adultery people tend to assume that sexüal arousal at the sight of a member of the opposite sex is sin. This is wrong.

Jesus never meant that involuntary sexüal interest or mere sexüal desire is sin. Sin, by definition, necessarily is an act of choice. So what Jesus was speaking of was the intent to have sëx with a woman given opportunity. He was addressing the hypocrisy that was rife among the religious elite of his day who thought that intent did not matter, all that mattered to them was what people saw.

Jesus was saying that if a man nursed intent to have sêx with a woman to whom he is not married but lacks opportunity to do it and get away with it, he is as guilty before God as one who actually commits adultery and got caught.

Jesus was simply reiterating what God told Samuel in the early days of monarchy in Israel. He said to him that He looks upon the heart not just upon what people could see and He judges by intents and desires not just by actions.

So mere involuntary desire is not sin in itself. Whether the desire has an object, that is, for example, some shapely girl you saw gave you a hàrd-on or some smoking hot guy made you go weak at the knees, or it does not, that is, for example, you just start feeling hörny with no human trigger around, makes no difference. It is a mindless experience. What matters is what thoughts and intentions you maintain. Do you decide that if you got the opportunity to do the do and get away with it you would take it? Or do you effectively kill the very thought of sleeping wïth someone you're not married to? That's where all the difference lies.

Sex is SIN unless committed by 2 consenting adults who are married in the Holy Church of God blessed by a Holy Man of God. all you traditionalist and gay marriage people are going to hell

Temptation is not a sin until u fall for it. And I believe Sexual desire is part of temptation. **Ma Opinion**

tpia6:

'everyone is tempted' temptation is not synonymous to sin; it is yielding or putting temptation into action that is a sin. Christians sometimes face temptation to steal, lie, gossip etc. but we have been commanded not to 'obey the lust of the flesh' and besides, I think we are genetically programmed to have sexual desire so it's just a mere desire and therefore different from lust.

If 2 unmarried or uncommitted people have sex, that's not a sin. That's sex for pleasure. That's curiosity, that's fun.

What's utterly offensive is when a married man, a man with a pregnant girlfriend, baby mama goes out to have sex without consent that they are both in an "open relationship," now, that's immoral, unfair, selfish, and utterly illegal. That's a sin.

I don't suppose that this is a Christian view, is it?

Not at all though you can't deny the fact that his statement is arguable.

Hmm. That's an interesting thought for sure. I'll consider it for a while, and let you know...

philosophy

I have never seen a man that is So spiritual to the extent that he has never, and can never, have sexual desire. if you have seen such a man,or you are such a man, you can identify yourself here. the truth is,as long as we are human beings,and we still live in our human body,sexual desire will ALWAYS come, even if you don't think of having sex. it's just totally natural. the same way we get hungry,or thirsty, and we can never stop ourselves from being hungry, So also we can't stop ourselves from sexual desires. it's natural,God designed humans like that. Paul, in his letter to the Corinthians,he never condemned any one of them for having sexual desire,but he only said,"but if they cannot contain,, let them marry:for it's better to marry than to burn"1cor 7:9. to burn means to be pressed with d passion or urge for sex.
So,sexual desire on it's own is never a sin. however,the inability to control it is what makes a man to sin. when a man is pressed down with sexual passion,it's not sinful,but if he,being unmarried,proceeds to have sex,such is illegitimate and it's sinful. now it will. look. as if it's a punishment for someone,infact That's how many people see it. they say,body no be stone,or firewood.Yes,That's true,and That's Why d Bible says "...let him go and marry". So first solution to sexual desire is,go and marry. now if one isn't ready for marriage,or married but s spouse isn't around...there is a better way.,and That's self control. but self control is not what someone can just have by and of himself, it's a fruit of the Holy Spirit. The truth is that Why many people can not exercise self control is that they don't have the holy spirit that will produce the self control in them. I have found this to be very practical,and whether u agree or disagree can never change the fact.the reason Why,if you are born again,u need the holy spirit is to help in these kind of circumstances.when you are pressed down by the passion for sex,and you are not married,my conclusion is that,get on your knees, speak to your father in heaven about it,ask him to produce in you the self control that is needed at that point, and I tell you,you will be normal again,you will experience the self control working perfectly in you. sexual desire is a lust of the flesh, on it's own it's not sinful for someone to have it,but working towards expressing that lust,moving in the direction of the lust, is what makes a man to commit sin."but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,and make not provision for the flesh to fulfil the lust thereof" Romans 13:14

the truth is dis....sexual desire or d desire for sex is not a sin.....for it was placed n us by GOD.....to fulfill GOD's own desire....but d point is dis....dis desire ppl refer to as sexual desire and lust is actually.....''passion''.....and dis passion craves for a course or a path...to follow...and since it was placed in us by GOD...itz path has to b rooted in GOD.....so if one doesnt hav constant fellowship wit d holy-spirit to kip dis passion n dat direction...of winnin souls and doin great tinz for GOD...d passion will long for smtin else....and d first and d easiest way for dis passion to xpress itself is tru sexual desire......
........bt if we can channel dis passion unto winnin souls for GOD...and doin grt tinz for him we'll b suprised dat d sexual desire will b reduced.....it will bcom a minor desire......
