SEX DURING CHURCH ACTIVITIES

The verse below says that after having sex, you are unclean for a while. However, once again, we are not under the Law.

The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.

Leviticus 15:18

You are free to have sex before and after church activities or prayer. It does not demean your spirituality.

SEX DURING FASTING

Fasting is abstinence from food. It does not also imply staying away from sex.

At certain levels of fasting however, you may want to abstain from sex to help you concentrate.

Having sex does not make you unclean or unholy. The marriage bed is undefiled.

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.


Hebrews 13:4

If you decide to abstain from sex during fasting, you must BOTH decide to do so for a definite period. Also decide (together) when you will resume your normal “activities”. This is the meaning of “except it be with consent.

Remember aftercare fasting to come back together quickly, lest the devil tempt you.

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

1 Corinthians 7:5
