I think I owe you an apology can you accept it PLEASE.
I misunderstood your replies. I thought you were asking whether Adam and eve were married before sex so why oppose fornication. Also when you said why flesh of flesh is not considered as marriage now a days. I thought you meant why sex without marriage alone is not considered as marriage. So I thought you were one of those who said fornication is nothing but inter race sex. I'm sorry

Btw they are telecasting lions & hyenas in animal planet anything about lion will be very interesting, wanna watch?
Ps I have never heard of fornication being inter race sex. Where does that come from?

No need to apologise. I maybe should have been clearer and a bit calmer in my response, I apologise as well.

What channel?
You were already calm no need to apologise. I was the one who asked you to refer scripture like I knew everything. I'm the one who talked too much without understanding. Btw its Animal Planet.

Unfortunately that's the only channel I can watch here along with news and some sports. All other channels broadcast soap operas, movies and reality shows in which women dress like ughh. So I'm sort of an animal expert right now.

The marriage bond and intimacy is supposed to be something special that you share only with your husband/wife. I've seen a lot of people on these threads say or indicate that sex is only to produce children. I cannot understand that point at all and have no idea where they get it from. I've never seen anything in scripture that backs that idea up, and never heard anyone in real life even suggest such a thing.

Anyways, married couples should be able to be closer to their spouses than anyone else in all ways. Physical intimacy is an expression of that and should be enjoyable for both spouses.

I'm sure that was God's intention. Yet, like everything else people have gone against God's plans and purposes and have made sex into something dirty and to be ashamed of. If it is done wrong outside of marriage or in any of the other weirdo ways going on nowadays... like gay/lesbian, stuff, etc.... then yeah it is dirty and shameful. But it should never be considered that way between a husband and wife.

However, if you are uncomfortable and feeling that way about it then you should really seek the Lord about it. I'm not knocking you or trying to be demeaning in any way, but if you are a healthy man and you feel this way then there is a problem and something is wrong. Maybe it is that you are not comfortable with your own self...IDK but like I said you should seek the Lord and really put some thought into where the problem lies.

Your statement about wishing another man could take your place sexually with your wife indicates that you do not understand the sacred bonds of marriage. Having someone cheat or have sex with another person is one of the most hurtful and devastating things they can do, and really one of the only reasons I can see that scripture even justifies a divorce. There is a reason for that.
I’ve been abused sexually and come from a rough sexual background so everything seems to be destroyed but God has healed in many ways come out so it’s basically my brain that doesn’t really wrap itself around the whole idea! I will never be unfaithful I will never indulge in any fornication, I’m only sharing what’s in my feelings and thoughts

In Genesis 2:22, God brought Eve to Adam. The same word for 'brought' is used in Genesis 24:67 when Isaac brought Rebecca into his tent and she became his wife.

So sorry to hear about what happened in your past. Glad that God has healed you in many ways. Just keep praying and giving it all to him. I'm praying for you. I know that God is able to move in all things. He is able to completely heal us in all ways...GBY:)

Fornication is marrying a foreigner or having intimate relations with a person foreign, especially one who is from a nation which is an enemy of one's own country and especially one who is personally such an enemy. Fornication: to make yourself foreign.
I'm sorry but you sound crazy

Foreignification...that's a new one for me! Sort of sounds like what the globalists are doing to us! :eek:

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

That did seem 'off'. I have read the opinion that the word translated 'bastard' could also refer to children from illegal marriages to foreigners. Israelites were not allowed to marry, and therefore not allowed to have sex with, members of the forbidden seven nations.

I see no law against different groups of Gentiles' people's marrying, except Christians are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, and marriage is quite a bond.

I think the word 'fornication' had something to do with the rooves of houses of ill repute and bears a faux resemblance to porneia in Greek though the two words are not supposed to be etymologically related.

This award winning, high definition, spectacularly photographed and wonderfully narrated
(by David Attenborough) eight part series called Our Planet, which Netflix has made available
for free on youtube, is truly excellent :) imdb rates it at 9.1, with the bi-line:
One man has seen
more of the natural world than any other. This unique feature documentary is his witness statement.


It was four years in the making :)
