Sex in Christ: Must read! (long)

Whiling doing some research on sex, sexual activities, and how sex relates to us as people as told by God, I came across a very disturbing website.
The website is www.sexinchrist.com, and you cant tell who or what organization runs the website as it is not present. The website disturbed me not because of the content: anal sex, sex, bondage, masterbation, but rather how it presented Gods view on the situation. First the person grossly misinterprets passages to fit his view of sexual activities. Simple criticism, and critical thinking into the Scripture shows this right off the bat. Even the language (Hebrew and English alike) both defeat the authors usage of the passages.
Our society and our world is trying to conform God, rather than conform to Him. This person decided to take the Word of God, and grossly use it to further things that God has made clear as NOT being His will, nor His purpose. Lets dig in!!

From actual website:

Topic: Anal Sex

"Are you saving yourself for your wedding night? The Devil wants you to fail, that’s why he puts stumbling blocks in your way. But God wants you to succeed, and that’s why he has given us an alternative to intercourse before marriage: anal sex. Through anal sex, you can satisfy your body’s needs, while you avoid the risk of unwanted pregnancy and still keep yourself pure for marriage."

~(any where you see this squiggly line its my response to the above information)
Look at this statement, the devil wants us to fail with sexual purity (ok I agree), and God wants us to succeed ( I can agree with that too!), and thats why he has given us anal sex so that we may remain pure for marriage ( now he has got it completely wrong!!!!!!!!!!)

For what he is saying God has given us anal sex so that: 1. you stay pure for marriage, 2. to satisfy your bodily needs, 3. you avoid unwanted pregnancy.

1. He is correct in the notion God has called us to keep ourselves pure for marriage. God from the beginning with Adam and Eve declared that these holy beings that He created would become "one flesh" or the "two will become one". ( Gen. 2:24) God instituted a holy monogamous marriage between Adam and Eve, one without impurity.
But for God to use anal sex to keep the marriage bed undefiled is to say that God uses sin for something pure. Doesnt fit.
Look at Hebrews 13:4: "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

~Will Mcdonald ( religion professor, and Bible scholar) puts it perfectly, " any sexual relations outside of the bounds of marriage are sin."

Now some might say that its only adultry, and they would be wrong also. Any sexuality commited outside of marriage: premarital sex, oral sex, anal sex is sin. All of those things are sex outside the bounds of marriage. Sex was created by God, but the second part is that God designed sex to be used in a certain way. Which leads us back to Genesis as our description and example of what and how sex is to be conducted. God created 2 people to be united as 1: this is our bond of marriage and it is to be kept today!
To think that performing anal sex still keeps you pure is false. Sex is a mind, body and spiritual journey. Too many breaking the hymen is consider actual sex. Teens think having oral sex isnt really having sex and there okay. Its all sex! Anal, oral its still sex. It isnt in the bonds of marriage, and is sin.

1 Thess. 4:3-4,7 "It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable." "For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life."

-sexual immorality--what does this word mean?
--sexual ( Implying or symbolizing erotic desires or activity)
--immorality--( an immoral act or practice.)
So sexual immorality is implied or symbolized erotic desire or activity that is acted or practiced!
God's call and will is for us to avoid sexual acts or practices because it was never His intention for it to be used in that manner.

-Leviticus 18+20

-Acts 15:29-" You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these..."

-Romans 13:13-" Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.

-1 Corinthians 6:13-"The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body."

-Ephesians 5:3-" But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.

-Colossians 3:5-" Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry."

2.-" to satisfy bodily needs"
~ This was the second part of that 3 part intro. He already has told us that anal sex has been implemented by God to satify our bodily needs. Well I am trying to figure out when it has ever been about us?? God created sex, and he created it for us to enjoy, but within the bonds of marriage. (explained above) Anal sex was never created by God, nor supported in any Scripture for our bodily needs. That is what the pagan or the heathen does-("...that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen do who do not know God." 1 Thess. 4:4-5) The bodily need for anal sex comes from the passion lust that derives in the heart and distorts the mind. It increases its craving, telling the individual that its ok, even distorting it to the point that someone will try to find scripture to support their sin.

3. "you avoid unwanted pregnancy"
~Gods way of avoiding unwanted pregnancy is all over this blog, not to have sex unless it is in the bonds of marriage end of story.

NEXT SECTION:
“I thought the Bible said anal sex was a sin.”

Nowhere does the Bible forbid anal sex between a male and female.
~this was just explained, anal sex is a form of sexual immorality, it doesnt conform to Gods perfect union that He set at the beginning of time. Therefore IT IS forbidden!! Use above passages to reference this.

Many Biblical passages allude to the act of anal sex between men and women.
Lamentations 2:10 describes how “The virgins of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground,” indicating how a virginal maidens should position themselves to receive anal sex.

~This interpretation could not be farther from the truth than the east is from the west! He regards this passage as evidence of Jewish maidens with their heads bowed as being a position to recieve anal sex????!!!!! NOOOOO This passage is a passage speaking of MOURNING, and GOD'S WRATH!! Here is the full verse:

"The elders of the Daughter of Zion
sit on the ground in silence;
they have sprinkled dust on their heads
and put on sackcloth.
The young women of Jerusalem
have bowed their heads to the ground."

~The elders are sitting in silence, the young women have there heads bowed to the ground because the Lord has brought his anger upon them. The word sackcloth were ("Garments made of this cloth, worn as a symbol of mourning or penitence.)
It is shown throughout the entire chapter. Here is a snippet of verse 2 that gives us the preview of why they might be low to the ground:

"Without pity the Lord has swallowed up
all the dwellings of Jacob;
in his wrath he has torn down
the strongholds of the Daughter of Judah.
He has brought her kingdom and its princes
down to the ground in dishonor.

~ Notice the words highlighted, the elders, the young men, the entire nation of Israel was bowing low because they are dishonored for they rejected God and now must deal with the consequences of the Lord handing them over to their enemies. The Lord has displayed his anger with them and they are in a state of dishonor, and mourning for the wrath the Lord is dishing out to them. Nothing about sex, nor anal sex is in this passage!


Another suggestive scripture tells of a woman’s pride in her “valley” (referring to her buttocks and the cleft between them) and entices her lover to ejaculate against her backside: "How boastful you are about the valleys! O backsliding daughter who trusts in her treasures, {saying,} ' Who will come against me?' (Jeremiah 49:4)

~Now the author takes a verse from Jeremiah, lets look at it deeper!
"Why do you boast of your valleys,
boast of your valleys so fruitful?
O unfaithful daughter,
you trust in your riches and say,
'Who will attack me?"

~ In this passage the Lord is sending a punishment out to the Ammonites because they possesed the territory of Rueban and Gad. They prided themselves on the land they had taken, and in verse 1-5 the Lord describes what He will do to them. Verse 4 is no different, we see the boasting of the Ammonites because they have the valleys of the territory and boast of there new found riches (which they trust in) and remain prideful in saying "Who will attack me?" Once again this verse has been grossly misused by the author to try to make it fit something it has NOTHING to do with.


And in the Song of Songs, the lover urges his mate to allow him to enter her from behind: “Draw me after you, let us make haste.” (Song of Solomon, 1:4)
Heres is the whole verse:
"Take me away with you—let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers."
We rejoice and delight in you ;
we will praise your love more than wine."

in the Message:
Take me away with you! Let's run off together!
An elopement with my King-Lover!
We'll celebrate, we'll sing,
we'll make great music.
Yes! For your love is better than vintage wine.
Everyone loves you--of course! And why not?

Once again this passage is taken way out of context. Now if you have ever studied the S.O.S you would understand that yes there are several passages that refer to sex. But you also would know that the book is filled with love, and not the mere physical sexual act. Now I have read several interpretations of this passage: Many have said that the "king" is God and his inner chamber is us being taken into a intimate communion with him. Also there is the interpretation that this "king" is Solomon and that the Beloved woman is ready for him to take her into his inner chamber (private) and to be taken away from everything to be with him.
I choose the later interpretation. I think the first one is good but from reading the entire chapter it shows us a more intimate loving conversation between 2 lovers. But what has happened is the person with this site has misinterpreted the passage to make it sexual. This is the reason why I put 2 translations on here. (NASB, and NSRV have the same general language of NIV.) I wanted you to be able to see what they were saying if you heard it today. The Message provides a very plain conversation and shows:
#1- the woman wants to be taken away to be alone with him and him alone.
#2- both translations use the "we" word which can help us cite the fact that the concubines, the wives and friends were admiring this Solomon. His love is like vintage wine.

And even though I didnt have to dive greatly into this, there is no Hebrew language that supports any anal sex, or sexual position or anything in this passage. Does the book contain sexual things, sure, once again God create sex, but no where does it encourage anal sex for anyone. Grossly misinterpreted by the site.

THE POINT:
1.-This website is false, its teachings are false, its use of Scripture is false and is not to be trusted.
2.-This site uses the Word of God to further the satisfication of the self rather than give glory to God. It tries to create loopholes through the Word of God regarding sex. IT doesnt work and they failed.
3.-God created our bodies not for sexual immorality and not even for sexual satisfaction but for holiness. God's will is that we remain pure in mind, body and spirit so that we may give glory to God. "For God did not call us to be impure but to live a holy life." 1 Thess. 4:7
4.-Sex is and has always been designed through the bonds of marriage, if it is not through the bonds of marriage it is sexual immorality.

May God Bless you!
