If only more churches would teach a spirituality to sexuality, instead of calling it dirty and making it taboo, sinful, and not appropriate for any kind of conversation - much less doing.
Originally posted by BadwaterChristianity does not teach that sex is dirty. What Christianity teaches is that sex outside of marriage is fornication, and that fornication is a sin.

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesI don't think they needed a formal wedding and all, seein' as how there wasn't anyone else around to marry.
When did Adam and Eve get married? Sometime before they ate the forbidden fruit?
Originally posted by josephwWell, were they in fact married or did they fornicate before the traditionally accepted fall into sin?

I suppose you think marriage is just some kind of man made thing created when man was primative and wanted to institute a form of female inslavement!

Cruelty does not limit itself to the radical elements within Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc. etc. It is independent of religion. Violence exists in the absence of religions. The perpetrators of the violent act should be held accountable for a gross injustice, but Islam itself i ]
What is it with you? Do you like to turn your bigotry on and off according to your mood ?
Originally posted by josephwChristian churches generally don't teach anything about sex - period. About the act. Saying what not to be doing is not helpful in learning what to do. The vast majority of churches (at least here in the US) only teach what is wrong - adultery is wrong, pre-maritial sex is wrong, masturbation is wrong, etc. There is no instruction on what is right. It's like when I had sex ed in school; it was reproductive education but nothing about sex. I had to learn the hard way and parents, school, and churches were no help. By and large they still aren't. That's the point I was addressing.

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesThere's no record of Adam and Eve's sex life before the fall.

Are you suggesting that if nobody else is around, fornication is not a sin?

Originally posted by josephwDo you figure that Adam and Eve didn't have genitalia before the Fall? If they did, why did God

Consider this. Before the law was given there was no prohibition against fornicating. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a sin.
