Casual sex is as bad as porn

I know where you're coming from because used to think like that but I disagree now. You don't have to disregard it. I think saying that is like saying you have divorce your wife because she annoys you. And anyway, the Bible never claims to be the word of God.

Did the writers write it perfectly? Do we read it perfectly?

 

i cant give you all the answers, really it just comes down to faith, only than can you decide what is true or false.

 

If they have biological urges, we have wet dreams for that to sub, and wait for the right partner to sex especially with your wife or husband.

 

Wrong, the Bible does claim to be the inspired Word of God, and yes, it also claims to be written perfectly. (Otherwise not everything they wrote would be inspired by God):

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
2 Timothy 3:16

 

Really? You really think the person writing a simple letter to a church Ephesus considered his letter to be scripture? Wouldn't he have been writing about the Torah? Would you consider a letter from any Christian to be the word of God?

Even if he's talking about himself he doesn't use the words 'word of God', he says 'inspired by God. There a big difference that's something being inspired and something being someone's word.

 

Faith is definitely important.

 

What I think is beside the question, because the Bible itself already defines Paul's letters as Scripture:
...just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. - 2 Peter 3:15,16 (Here Paul's letters are categorised as Scriptures, i.e. "Paul's letters and the rest of the Scriptures")

In the biblical context there is no difference. It's the intended message that matters, not the choice of words. This passage also clarifies what "inspired" implies:
But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. - 2 Peter 1:20,21

 

Don't want to get myself in trouble but I'd like to point out that religion is very relevant to the original topic.

 

I think what Sparky want's to point out is that that statement doesn't apply for non- or liberal religious people and the focus shifted too much to the religious aspect while the discussion about the rational aspect of the impact of casual sex got snowed under.

On original topic: I will never procreate and I very often feel an emotional connection with the women I have casual sex with. Therefore, casual sex does not equal porn to me. I respect that other people have other views on that but I prefer not to be condemned for my views

 

ok, although all could use the main forum wether religious or not.

 

That was sudden. What made you change your mind?
