The Bible and Sex! |
| The sexual relationship was created as a natural part of marriage. |
|
"For
this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to
his wife, and they will become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24) |
| Any sexual relationship outside of marriage is sin! |
|
Adultery is Sin! Any sexual relationship between a man (single or married) and a married woman that is not his wife. |
|
"You have
heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that
anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery
with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:27,28) |
|
Fornication is
Sin! A general word for all kinds of sexual activity outside of marriage. |
|
"The acts of
the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and
debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft, hatred discord, jealousy, fits of
rage, selfish ambition, dissension, factions and envy, drunkenness,
orgies, and the like. I warn you as I did before, that those that live
like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-20) |
|
Homosexuality is sin! Any sexual relationship between a man and another man or a woman and another woman. |
|
"Therefore
God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual
impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. Because of this God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relationships with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the penalty for their perversion." (Romans 1:24-27) |
