There are many scriptures that implore us to overcome our physical and sensual natures

Ah, the good old gnostic heresy ...

I need to overcome my fallen nature, not my physical nature.

If physical = bad

how do you explain the fact that there is a human being sitting on the throne of God.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:

all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:3-9

>>Are you saying that the prohibition against homosexual acts, does not apply to gentiles?<<

I suppose if that was the only place it was mentioned, that would be a true statement. But it isn’t. ;)

And one interesting aspect is that as many have pointed out, the command to abstain from sex with women during their cycle had VERY strong health and disease benefits.

I think we have more than enough evidence to suggest the same STILL applies to Sodomy, be it homo- or hetero-sexual.

“Are we allowed multiple wives and or girlfriends?”

Who would want more than one? Too expensive and talk too damn much.

I was just reading Zacharia and Malachi yesterday. Although your comment was tongue in cheek, I feel the need to strongly disagree with it anyway.

The bible is very clear that they will “turn around” when the time comes. He seems to have an ongoing purpose for His “chosen people”. Maybe that’s why He chose them...

What are you getting at? I said no such thing. And why do you insist on using the word "pesky" in front of the first noun in every post?

sex is PART of marriage. It should be encouraged in marriage.

Then again remember all the little old ladies who decried the arrival of viagra because they husbands wanted sex again.

Of course the dirty little secret in divorce courts is how much sexual absence causes divorces.

The Fifth Noahide Law prohibits homosexual acts for all people.

>I for one will NOT cut back for any reason!!<

The Rev is talking about two people having sex. You know the ‘Share the fun’ idea.

I am not in favor of homosexuality, far from it; I'm just saying that your argument in itself might not be persuasive. The Noahide Law may say "No sexual immorality," but in itself it does not define sexual immorality.

Example: laws can require, permit, or forbid actions. But If I were to say to a number of fellow FReepers, "Mark this chart to indicate what acts are required, permitted, or forbidden," I'll bet you $25 dollars that 12 different Christian FReepers would have at least 8 or 9 different answers:

__masturbation

__polygyny (having more than one legal wife)

__serial polygamy (marriage - divorce - marriage)

__arranged marriage (arranged by parents)

__Abrahamic polygamy (legal wives, plus slaves and concubines)

__anal intercourse in marriage

__vowed, lifelong celibacy

__contraception

__marriage between first cousins

__BJ's in marriage

__divorce by reason of adultery

__divorce for serious reasons other than adultery
(abandonment, alcoholism, abuse, apostasy, abortion)

__remarriage after divorce

__sexual intimacy by engaged couples

__artificial insemination by husband

__artificial insemination by donor

__surrogate childbearing

__IVF

__tubal ligation for purpose of birth control

__vasectomy

__marriage between two men

__marriage between two women

__sex change surgery

__man/man marriage, where one of the men is a genetic female

__women wearing pants

__men wearing earrings and styled hair


The Noahide Law "no sexual immorality" doesn't specify what "sexual immorality" is.

And although you are a good Christian man and I am a good Christian woman, I doubt we would agree on the survey questions listed above, and I further doubt either of us could convince the other using the Bible alone.

the more peopel stay married, the less importance they put on sex. it takes more than getting one’s rocks off to maintain a marriage, and this trivializes that.

uHHH....It is not about getting ones rocks off. Me and the wife are enjoying a lot better sex life now than in our earlier years. When we were younger we were not getting along too well and not having sex as often. Now that we have repaired our EMOTITIONAL side we have been having lots and lots of sex and could NOT BE HAPPIER. (not yelling emphasizing.

The emotional and physical go hand in hand regardless of what anyone says.

Besides it is fun. You should try it.
