MAKIN WOOPIE...

I have found recently that one of the things I need to go on record with a guy with right away is my stance on premarital sex. There was a time when this was a given but I have found "some" christians do not see premarital sex as a big deal. It is weird how many debates and weird interpretions of the bible I have heard on the subject.



For the record I believe sex is for married couples only



Your thoughs guys and gals!!:waving:

And, yes, I believe that sex is for married couples only, and not just actual intercourse but other things. The line should be drawn way before actual intercourse takes place.

@Pixy, they must not use that term where you are. I�ve heard it a lot. Of course I have heard a lot of other terms as well.



As Christians it really doesn�t matter what you or I think about a pre-marital sex. What matters is what the Bible states, and it is clear that sex outside of marriage is a sin.



But, many people who are Christians (I�m not going to argue if they really are or not) do not have the Word of God as their source of truth, and therefore it is easy for them to justify their desire to have sex before marriage.

Romans 1:25 (NASB)

25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.



In today�s age, it probably is a good thing to state up front.

love making was designed to be within the covenant of marriage.

that's how it is, there is no compromise.

Deep intimacy needs to be saved for marriage. Physical, emotional, spiritual, it's all a part of that intimacy. Do I think anything past kissing needs to wait? Absolutely. But I also think the deep emotional and spiritual intimacy of marriage needs to wait as well. Too often people expect their significant other to have no boundaries for the second two, while placing a huge emphasis on the first. Long bible study and prayer sessions together can be just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, before marriage as fooling around. And you better believe that baring your soul to someone and constantly praying together is going to leave a lot more baggage if you break up than getting a little handsy.

Please don't hear me trivializing physical intimacy before marriage. The importance of the physical aspect sadly ends up overshadowing other areas that are just as important.

As River said, "love making was designed to be within the covenant of marriage."



Makin' Whoopie, physical intimacy, sex, love making...whatever name we give it...is a sign of covenant. It is to consummate the marriage covenant...that means it comes after. It is symbolic of and I believe creates a spiritual bonding. As an added blessing it gives us pleasure...not just from physical sensation but from the deep level of spiritual intimacy that occurs when you give yourself completely to another person. Another blessing is to procreate...to produce children. God's desire is for children to be born into Godly families and raised by parents that are bound in covenant to each other and to Him.



The purpose of marriage is to bring glory and honor to God...to build, strengthen and further His kingdom. The purpose of having sex prior to the marriage covenant is self pleasure...self gratification. It is putting your purpose before God's. Call it fornication, call it idolatry, call it sin...one might even call it fun and pleasurable for that brief moment in time...but, whatever you call it, it does not glorify Him nor does it further His Kingdom.



Within the protective boundaries of marriage that God has set for us, we have been given great freedom to enjoy some of God's richest blessings...outside His boundaries we risk losing all that and a great deal of heartache for a few moments of fleeting pleasure.

pixy,

because if it's really good you yell WOOPIE! WOOOPIE!:ROFL:

Seriously, as one who came late to Christianity, plus made many dumb mistakes, it is God way and right to wait.

I look at this pragmatically. In an ideal world, one without no-fault divorce, it's best to wait for marriage. But why wait when there's a significant chance of her divorcing me, and taking half of my things, for no good reason?



And it's not just the secular crowd. The divorce rate among religious people is just as high.

Wow. That makes me very sad for you rainbowian. If you keep your eyes on Christ, and you quite obviously do NOT (I'm not judging whether you're saved, but anyone who says what you just said is not looking to Christ), then you are not doomed to fail in marriage. The only way to keep a truly healthy marriage is if both partners keep their eyes on the Lord. I know there are non-Christian couples who stay married for a long time, but most of them are either from an older generation or they are not on their first marriage. The reason the divorce rate among Christians is just as high is because people like yourself are not keeping their focus on Jesus. Are we all perfect? No. But if He truly comes first to both spouses , He has our best interest in mind and will not let the marriage fail. It's when we lose our focus on Jesus that we falter.

Well, pixy, about the term "makin' whoopie", there was a popular song with that title from, I think, the 20s or 30s generation, ann also, that was an expression back then too for "having fun" ... and SEX is certainly supposed to be BAREFOOT FUN for a husband and wife ever since Adam and Eve, as God created it to be!!! :yay::yay::yay::applause::applause::applause::rocknroll::rocknroll::rocknroll:



An interesting aside ... you know, Whoopi Goldburg has confided in interviews that she got her unusual first name from just THAT too ... her folks had so much "Whoopie!!!!" SEXUAL FUN, that they decided to name her "Whoopi" for THAT'S what they were enjoying when she was made!!! What a clever sense of humor Whoopi Goldburg's parents had, huh? :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:



Steve
