Then why is this even a problem for you???????

It's most definitely NOT your business if other people have sex on Sundays. If you're single, and you have no vested interest in this discussion, then why start the thread? It's certainly not ever your place to determine whether the rest of the married couples in the church are allowed to have sex before they attend church.

I just wanted to start a good thread. we have discussed this before but I can't find the thread.

How do you keep masturbation "pure." How does it not become sexual fantasy about others, pornography, etc?

(Is this grown-up talk allowed?)

only fantasize about eligible bachlorettes?

Re: Sex On Church Day

DM,

What you need to understand is that God expects married couples to make the needs of their spouse (including sexual needs) a priority. Paul acknowledged that single men and women could focus on the "things of the Lord", but those who are married must care about the things of the "world", so they can please their spouse.

This is not presented as a bad thing; just matter-of-factly, as an acknowledgement of the responsibilities of marriage.

I Corinthians 7:32-33

But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

...But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

...There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

There's nothing BAD in being married and considering the needs of your spouse, and God acknowledges that this may somewhat interfere with devotion to the "things of the Lord."

This is consistent with the line of thought where a man or woman would get permission from their spouse to be separate for a time of prayer and fasting--but again--they must have permission. Not God's permission; permission from their spouse. This illustrates the importance God places on the marital relationship and their obligations to one another.

It's very interesting to me that God Himself only endorses sexual separation from your spouse for a spiritual cause if your spouse is willing to give you permission.

Now THAT game gets my wife in the mood (even though I have never played it myself). I can't understand why she wants me to wear my cowboy hat, belt, and boot after wards though......

I suppose. Reminds of the scene from West World where they have the option to either help rob the bank (or help keep the bank from being robbed) or go upstairs with the robot floozies. They went upstairs, "Trust me, this is better".

Thank goodness it wasn't a Sunday!

Because he thinks those people are hindering the service, and stopping a move of God. ;)

When DM ... posted this thread a few years ago he was an ultracon who thought it was of the debbil .... good to see how we've influenced DM to the Light.

That thread was shut down by the Thread police.

BTW what day is "Church Day"? What if a church has 3 services a week? Is sex on those days a sin?

This is the class we sat through where we looked at each other at the end, walked out when it was done, and never returned.
Yes, there was to be NO sex on Sunday, or Saturday night OR Wed night. Also there was to be NO sex during that "time of the month" as well as the whole following "cleansing" week. That is a min of two weeks a month NOT counting Sundays and Wed nights. He also advocated the "sex for procreation ONLY" view and that we should be growing our church via way of breeding rather than winning souls.

Found it. Couldn't remember what I named the original thread......

Good gracious, you have got to be kidding!!!! Wow, that might have been an appropriate discipline for the pastor, but to impose it on the body is very unwise and makes him look like a fool.

Making love before worship service makes one much more focused and receptive to the spirit, for goodness sakes. LOL

Don't you think that if God did not intend for it to be pleasurable he would have made it akin to something like the Dentist's drill or stubbing your toe?

I don't think this is a UC issue. More of an individual person type thing..... most UCs I know would find this idea hilarious.
