The God of the Bible is the One who makes the rules. That means that no matter if I like the rules or if some people have abused the rules, I am still held accountable for every breath that God gives to me. How will I answer on Judgment Day?JOSHUA S BLACKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231382872743752400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845709.post-26280641449014853642007-03-10T15:20:00.000-08:002007-03-10T15:20:00.000-08:00Thanks for the invitation to this post of your blo...Thanks for the invitation to this post of your blog. <BR/><BR/>I agree that sex is a gift--not a right or an obligation. I also think it is something our society has unhealthy ideas about it. For me, sex must happen in the context of a loving relationship--which, for me, is my marriage. <BR/><BR/>But I can't totally adopt your perspective, since I am not a Christian. <BR/><BR/>As a feminist, I think of marriage as a somewhat outdated idea, dating back to when wives were property and marriages were made as necessary political and economic alliances. <BR/><BR/>Marriage in different cultures comprises different things--and our culture's idea of marriage is not the only idea of marriage. <BR/><BR/>For me, the more important factor is commitment and love--rather than marriage.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868720718818623785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845709.post-30515829485435398392007-03-10T13:22:00.000-08:002007-03-10T13:22:00.000-08:00No. What about you?No. What about you?JOSHUA S BLACKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231382872743752400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845709.post-33168146669230054932007-03-09T18:40:00.000-08:002007-03-09T18:40:00.000-08:00My article on sex is not scandalous.

I hope you <A HREF="http://www.needgod.com" REL="nofollow">go to Heaven</A>. I hope you have a good marriage. But if you miss out on the one and have the other, well, that is not a good trade. However, if you have a bad marriage and end up in Heaven, trust me, it was worth the pain! (Not implying in the least that the marriages of Christians will suck inevitably.

The reason that people look for sex outside marriage is that they look at it as an entitlement instead of a privilege of marriage. It's all about them. Instead of sex being a gift of love that you give to that special someone, it is viewed as a "my right to have." It should not be that way. <BR/><BR/>Hey, if you know that you can comfort your husband that way, you go right ahead. The Bible condones that (Hebrews 13:4; Genesis 2:18-25; 1 Corinthians 7:1-5). But don't be demanding it from him, and he shouldn't demand it from you--but you should not withhold it if you know he needs it. That's what the Bible teaches (see previous references and the Song of Solomon).JOSHUA S BLACKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231382872743752400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845709.post-84730952978988948562007-03-09T13:42:00.000-08:002007-03-09T13:42:00.000-08:00Hey dude... take a look at my latest post and tell...Hey dude... take a look at my latest post and tell me what you thinkDave Carrolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12138953216264463289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845709.post-36278074899170273632007-03-08T09:14:00.000-08:002007-03-08T09:14:00.000-08:00Thanks for visiting.

By the way, didn't the Bible say that as punishment for their Original Sin men would have to slave away in the fields and be the "breadwinner" and women would have to slave away at home and be the "homemaker"...something like that? So, to be fair, it is totally appropriate that my husband comes home bitter and I, in turn, greet him with a weary "eh" at the door? Sex just may be the saving grace. Without it, we definitely would have killed each other by now! ;)you da mom!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14614652336136370877noreply@blogger.com
