SEX FOR CHRISTIANS?

SEX FOR CHRISTIANS?

When evangelists tell young people that Christians must not have sex before they are married, they give them the idea that they should have sex after they are married. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The apostle Paul wrote an entire chapter on marriage - and abstention from sexual relations (1 Corinthians 7). If you are single, you should stay single. If you are married, you should not have sex - and the resultant children.

According to St. Paul, marriage and sex are only for those who cannot control their libidinous impulses (1 Corinthians 7:8,9).

Jesus says the same, and even mentions what some men have done to themselves in order to avoid committing marriage. (Matthew 19:10-12).

But didn't God say, "Be fruitful and multiply." (Genesis 1:28)? Indeed he did; that was under the old law. But St. Paul taught a new way of life (Romans 7:5,6), based on a revelation of Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:12).

So Christians should not have sex at all - unless they are weak-willed wimps who have no self-control.

Not only is there no sex for Christians on earth, there is no sex for them in heaven either. Jesus himself said: "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in mariage, but are like angels in heaven." (Mattew 22:30; Mark 12:25; Luke 20:35,36).
