Understand if someone says a person is biased, that doesn't necessarily mean they are purposely biased or that they are purposely ignorant. Many of us have been biased & didn't even know it. We all studied under our own denominations & their commentaries, only to find out some of their doctrine was wrong.
I propose that in this thread that we still need some "denominational debrainwashing" done to us before we can agree.
Problem is, who will humble themselves enough to say "Is it I"?
The problem has NEVER been with the text. The problem has always been with the brainwashing of the church with their "traditions of men".

Perhaps before we go to fisticuffs, you could explain your point. I'll explain mine. You said that fellatio is lustful activity. It could be considered so outside of marriage. Outside of marriage it becomes a sin (either fornication or adultery). Within marriage it is not lustful activity any more than coitus is. God is very liberal concerning activities between a husband and a wife. There is no prohibition against fellatio inside of marriage.
Perhaps you coud explain your point of view.

I
my point has been made several times over again, yet, people act as if i didnt just say what they said to me.
fellatio is a sin. its not a free pass to engage in the flesh outside of marriage because its not "fornication". its a sin. period. point. blank.
people must have been assuming that i think its acceptable. the question wasnt "is it acceptable". the question was, "do you consider fellatio SEX".. which i dont. but if you do, i respect that. but people dont respect that i dont think its SEX.
this is where they jumped the gun and came at me with their guns blazing like i just committed the ultimate or .... or something.. like i was the anti-christ in the flesh.
over and over again i repeated myself, and it went unheard and the judging, slandering, and insults continued to pile up.... because we didnt agree that its sex....

I certainly agree. The reason there are so many varied and contradictory theological stances is because people do not know how to approach this book. The Bible is not a historical or narrative document. It isn't even a liturgical document. Scripture is not just a book that addresses theology, soteriology, eschatology, or epistemology, yet, this is how people have historically approached it. The Bible is a representational document and must be understood as such.
In the assembly, when the congregation was being directed in prayer, the women were charged to cover their heads as a recognition of submission for the man is head over the woman. Likewise, the men were commanded to pray without their heads covered remembering that they too are in submission to Christ who is the head over the Church.
