sex is for pleasure. have you read the song of Solomon?
I believe in the words of jesus,
I accept jesus as my savior,
I do feel born again.
But i don't necessary believe the whole bible is 100% truth.
I'm skeptic towards religious institutions.
I didn't know the Song of Solomon before, but i just read through it fast.
It sounds like "holy porn" written by some man named solomon (??)
The song doesn't seem like something Jesus would say or agree with.
I can't see why within marriage it would suddenly be "ok" to lust for the flesh.
What about the people who are not "blessed" enough to find a partner to marry with?
They should not lust their whole life, but married christian couples do get the privilege to lust all they want
and even have oral sex because supposedly the bible does not say a thing about it?
Either way, it is my experience,
that if i pray to jesus to be delivered from sin.. i feel blessed by the holy spirit...
and there is no lust in me at all.
If i would again start to lust for the flesh,
then i know for a fact that i distance myself from God. (as lust, and other sins, have estranged me from god before)
I can't see why it would be different for married couples,
if they lust for flesh... then i think they will also be estranged from spirit.
Satan persuaded Eve to sin through the lust of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life...
Everytime a christian lust for the flesh.. we fall down. Married or not. That is what I suspect.
The story of adam and eve is probably as relevant today as it was a long time ago.
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. "
