NaijaNewsPapers: PLS U ARE COMPLETELY WRONG,VERY WRONG INDEED BUT TRUE THAT,THE CHURCH GOT INVOLVED MUCH LATER. PLS KNOW SEXUALITY AND MARRIAGE HAD BEEN FROM CREATION EVEN BEFORE CHRIST BIRTH. MOST OF D RULES HV BN MADE,ISSUED OR KNOWN TO MAN AND SPECIFICALLY D JEWS AS D MORAL LAWS WERE CLEARLY LAID OUT BY MOSES, SO D BOUNDARIES WAS KNOWN. 1. THE BIBLE'S TEACHINGS ON SEXUALITY FROM D EARLIEST TIMES WAS VERY CLEAR,SO JESUS CHRIST ONLY GAVE CLARIFICATIONS WHERE SOME PHARISEE DOUBTS EXISTED. 2. HOMOXUALITY & ALL OTHER FORMS OF SEX OTHER THAN HUMAN WAS AN UNGODLY ACTS CLEARLY TAUGHT IN D SCRIPTURES. 3.U SEEM NOT TO KNOW UR BIBLE THAT, TEACHES U MORALITY AND PLAIN GODLY PRATICE ON SEXILUALITY : CHECK OUT WHAT IT SAYS ON, NO SEX DURING MENSURATION,FASTING COMMITMENTS,ETC. 4. ITS NOT TRUE FROM D BIBLE THAT EMPHASIS ON CELIBACY WAS HIGHEST. PETER D VERY FIRST APOSTLE WAS REVEALED AS A MARRIED MAN WITH FAMILY. PAUL'S STRESS MUST NOT BE MISCONSTRUED,HE GAVE A VERY BALANCE TEACHINGS ON MARRIAGE AND FAMILY. 5. SODOMY AND ITS DERIVATIVES WERE FORBIDDEN AND EVEN TODAY ITS AN IMMORTALITY TO D CORE. PLS STUDY UR BIBLE TO SHOW URSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD AND MAN, RIGHTLY DIVIDING D WORD OF GOD PROPERLY. WITHOUR MODERN DAY ERRORS AND BLASPHEMY. |

4. Jesus had very little to say about sex. Other than a some heavy admonishments against lust and against divorce, the Jesus of the Bible didn’t have a lot to say about issues of sexuality. (My guess is that he was too busy hanging out with the poor and healing the sick to care. Just a guess). He also had nothing at all to say about homosexuality or sexual identity as we understand it today. Most of the instruction about sex comes from Christian leaders who started spreading the religion after Jesus’ death. http://www.naijanewspapers.com.ng/2017/08/4-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about.html [img]https://4.bp..com/-74ZK0uo5Vv0/WaJnDvxMMEI/AAAAAAAAFQ0/e1VEYcdDD2Mej9DPIGoZ3Gh6OAsv69DOwCLcBGAs/s640/sex.jpeg[/img][/quote] Its people like u that say homosexuality is good, if u read d bible u will c DAT one of the main reasons God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah was because of homosexuality |

swiz123: The reason he was killed was because the initial reason GOD permitted him to sleep with his late brother's wife was to procreate in his stead but the man was selfish and instead would pour the semen on the ground. I strongly believe if he impregnated the widow and later did whatever he wanted He would not receive that punishment |

Sexual immorality is a sin and the Bible clearly stated it.
Leviticus 18, Romans 1:25-32, 1corithians6:15-20 e.t.c |

swiz123:don't get things wrong. He was punished because he refused to give his dead brother an heir as the law stipulated. Genesis 38:8-10New International Version (NIV) 8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also. 1 Like |

gentlegenius:Good points but do you know it is a sin to eat crayfish following Old Testament laws? |
Re: 4 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Christianity And Sex by gentlegenius(m): 7:34pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
princy80:So what was the punishment for those who eat crayfish? Did he Bible said that Any man who broke such law should be killed? Did the new testament not say that everything God created is good for consumption? Did the new testament say anywhere that fornication or adultery is a good practice? The new testament gives us the freedom to do away with certain OT laws like eating and drinking but that doesn't include illicit sex. |

princeSammyz: You still wonder why there is so much hypocrisy among the so called believers. They try to adhere to instructions from their "holy books" that is nearly impossible to keep, like trying to be celibate which is actually against human nature, they try hard to be but their body keeps failing them, only the very very few "lucky" ones who naturally are born with low sexual drive or sexual related psychological problems tend to scale through and eventually become judgee on those with average or relatively high sexual drive who could not keep up. I've long come to realise that to be religious is to be an hypocrite. That's just the truth. You can take a closer look around you for confirmation. 1 Like 1 Share |

gentlegenius:Where does your Bible tell you that it does away with rules on eating and drinking? GIVE PROOF OF QUOTATIONS BTW lev. 11:9 “‘Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams you may eat any that have fins and scales. 10 But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales—whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water—you are to regard as unclean. 11 And since you are to regard them as unclean, you must not eat their meat; you must regard their carcasses as unclean. 12 Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be regarded as unclean by you. |

princeSammyz: Imagine what it would be like if everyone could sleep with every other person @ will. Some men will prefer to sleep with other people' wives, how will a man feel when one impregnates his teenage daughter in SS1,incest won't even be be be deal, diseases will spread, stds, there'll be so much pain and hurt. We may not realise it yet but marriage goes a long way to check many of these excesses. |

NaijaNewsPapers: God punish you for your twisted script. Your facts from the devil will never erase the truth that marriage was sacred and conducted by the levis in early isreal and still a sacred arrangement involving certain ceremonies way before the levis were formed by Moses by the instruction of God almighty. Even Adam and Eve were blessed by God into their union. Even Mary and Joseph were wedded in a typical jewish weddig ceremony. Your story is so crooked becuse you are someone who had bleeped his way through life and wants to justify his worthlessness instead of repenting and and settling down. Ask your ignorant self deceiving self what made God flood the earth and burned Sodom and Gomorrah, and even destroyed the surrounding nations/cities around Isreal aside cause of their idols. Stay there and be trying to fight God, you #BlasphemousIdiot! #BurnInHell

If people actually know and understand what God is and also what the old testament teaches...they will realise that the new testament is BS. |

Much of those stories that they are interpreting as literal are allegorical.....we are supposed to read the stories and learn the hidden message.. God is not a MAN.....therefore the word of God always comes out from the mouth of men..most times,men gives it in firm of parables..those that watch nollywood movies can attest to this... The Bible is a spiritual manual not a history textbook..for you to understand spiritual language you need to understand the symbolism and numerology of the jews..only them know what a talking snake,a talking donkey, 700 wives,300 concubines means...like I said earlier nobody on this forum knows.... |

komekn: But do you realize that while Jesus faulted the Pharisees for teaching "traditions of men" as "doctrines" and also telling them that they "rightly erred for they knew not the scriptures and neither the power of God"; the current church, including the Pentecostal, Evangelical, Revivalist etc movements, have failed to rightly identify the source of most of the non-Word-Based teachings, doctrines and heresies they so readily hand down as sacrosanct even in their Bible colleges. Generation after generation of Pentecostal ministers absorb and re-transmit these practices to their congregations without wondering where they came from while, if we really wanted to be really finicky about being transparently white on these issues, we would have gotten responses to all of them. Your popular doctrines on Easter, Christmas, Communion, Voluntary Poverty as against (God actively or benignly blessing the honest efforts of His worshipers thus resulting in) progressive prosperity over time and many more? Since, we wanna be splitting hairs and dwelling on relevant "irrelevancies", let me query your popular impressions of the Personhood of Jesus Christ himself. Who and what fashioned your early impressions of Him? Did you grow up thinking Him as Black, Semitic or Caucasian? If you say Semitic, where did the white picture of Jesus Christ you see everywhere come from? Where do you think the foundational thoughts regarding such and many other issues came from? Were many of them not even heretic legacies from the Church of Rome? And where would the crime be in someone speaking out against erroneous paradigms and mindsets when and wherever spotted? These his "self led and self derived opinionated observations" that you taunt; were they not, as such, sourced from fleshly lusts, church administration expediency of a largely religious age and the popular societal traditions of medieval european "dark-ages" as well as post-Nero days of pollution of the core body of central christian truths? If the church were to even have any cultural antecedent, should it be pro-Judeo-Christian? Why is the church of today so European in etymological foundation? Was Jesus, in his earthly walk an European, a Greco-Roman or truly one branded as the King of Jews? Ok, refute his position as against the writings of the Songs of Solomon or would you say that is not canonical enough to establish that marital consummation might not have being intended for procreation alone? And if such is true, your stance of attacking the OP's sincere musings for the lack of bible verse quotations would not have being the best and most helpful approach to shedding more light on the issue? Because he didn't quote verse might not mean his questions, points and fears may not be valid. And lest I forget, while we all fought, daggers drawn, as per best ways to be a christian or make heaven, the thief on the right hand of the blessed savior already made it in to paradise without attending a single believers foundation class, paying any monetary vow, or joining any church activity group and Rahab and many others did same too; it's time to invest in the things that really matter. I don't agree with many of the stuff he wrote up there too especially the purported Divine silence on masturbation, homosexuality or license for hedonistic living but set him right, if you have the time, supply the Bible verse sef instead of everybody attacking everyone else like they do with tribalism on Politics Threads; It's a new day, peace! |
