is sex a sin

[sierra21]

It's still just as taboo according to God!

I dunno if I'd go that far...I mean, yeah, I don't agree with all the sex on TV and things like that, but I also don't think it should be swept under the rug like it used to be. I think there should be a measure of openness about sex. The kind of openness that allows us to have this conversation, being able to say "sex is beautiful and wonderful in the context of marriage." Such a statement would probably have shocked people if spoken outside the bedroom back then. Actually, I'm not even sure they would have talked about it much even then.

We are talking about sex outside of marriage here...that's the taboo of which I speak.

Well come on now, if it's so taboo then why are we talking about it right now??

Perhaps we should stop using the word "taboo"- I think it's a loaded term anyhow.

Huh?

This whole thread is in reference to sex before marriage...and when sex is a sin! If it were TABOO we would not even have opened our mouths THUS FAR.

What don't you understand??

What is taboo is sex outside of marriage. Verboten! Forbidden!

Okay, I think I see what's going on here. The issue is one of the definition of "taboo"...it has multiple definitions. It could mean a prohibition against SAYING something OR a prohibition against DOING something. I think I've been using it in the "saying" sense...a prohibition against talking about it. I think Axey's been using it in the "doing" sense. A prohibition against doing it.

What I'm saying is that it should be brought up and talked about openly...why? for awareness sake, because these things do happen.

What Axey's saying is that it shouldn't be done, because it's wrong and not what God intended.

I think we're both right...we're just using the word in a different sense.

wow, old thread brought back from the graveyard For a moment there, while reading it? I thought there was an imposter with my name!!!! Alright, since I already commented on this, I think I'll just post a reference from the bible really quick:

1Cr 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
