Oh! Also on psychology: as a lover of psychology, I don’t think most Christians oppose it. (Sign man is extreme, and I would debate him on several of the issues). I think many Christians are wary of it, though. Because while there are several issues that come from your past, bad experiences, etc. ultimately each person is accountable for their own sins. Because free will and all. I just think that most Christians would prefer more Biblical counseling. BUT if someone need medical help or assistance to live a normal life, that’s fine! Our bodies’ chemicals can get unbalanced, and I think to reject that help when available is actually not treating our bodies right (which we should do as temples of the Lord and His wonderful creations)

Makes it so much better. I would not consider myself “quiver full “ aka you have to have as many children as you can. I think that’s a decision each couple should make. As to condemning sexuality as a whole, I’m not sure what you mean exactly. Also, I believe that people make mistakes - nobody is perfect, and nobody should present themselves as such. But we believe that Jesus makes us new creatures. No matter whatever past mistakes or sins committed, God can cleanse you and give you new life. But if you mean “sexuality” as in relations outside of one man and one woman in marriage, yes - anything outside of that is not condoned. But I cannot expect people who do not know God’s love to behave the same way as someone who has been made new - because it is NOt in anyone’s nature to act in the way we ought. Does that make it okay? Ultimately, no. But would or should I expect differently? No. Because it is not man who is able to stop man from sinning, but God. ....That was super long. My bad!

I wasn’t sure if I should respond to this, but I figure it can’t really hurt. I’m not sure if either of you would consider yourselves Christian, but that’s not what I’ve read in the Bible or been taught. If you want more of a Reformed (aka Reformation, etc) view of it here goes: sex IS a good thing. It’s supposed to be pleasurable, and pleasing. It’s not this dirty, awful thing that a lot of people make it out to be. I do think it is a private thing, though - only been two married people - and I think that’s why in the past it was seeen as so “hush-hush” but that inadvertently made people act as if it was dirty, even though it’s not. BUT, it is supposed to be between one man and one woman in marriage. That connection is supposed to bring them together and ultimately closer to God. To have sex with someone else is essentially sharing a piece of yourself with someone who can’t or won’t ultimately be there for you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Waiting for the right person...
