Lust and Marriage
EKnight:
I think I understand both sides here. I agree wholeheartedly with Dave's post.
IMO, the "sex" part of a marriage is purely physical. I know that is how it is in my marriage anyway. However, the marriage itself is spiritual. Marriage is a covenant between a husband and wife and God. It's a lifelong promise. It's a promise made out of love for one another and for God. I have often said that sex and love have nothing to do with one another. It is love that solidifies fidelity.

I know many of you think you understand what I posted. I mean you respond so strongly and apply ideas to the post that I don't even endorse. It is shocking. And it is scary. I'm sure you will be able to read something about this post and show by scriptures how sick and disturbed I am. I will spend no more time here. I'm thankful God knows my heart and thoughts, surely he understands. Go in peace.

Friend, Who Am I ,
It is always the responsibility of the speaker or writer to communicate full understanding to the hearers.
If we are responding to ideas that you didn't endorse, then it may be your task to edit your comments so that all can understand them more correctly. I know that this is often difficult since I have a similar limitation and edit most of my contributions before sending, but if one desires to someday become a teacher it is really necessary that one accept that burden.
It is a real blessing for a young teacher to overcome misunderstanding, especially with other folks who seem to think that they know all the answers. God works in mysterious ways to teach each of us patience and longsuffering so that we may attain in some measure to the status of His only begotten son Jesus.
I hope you will return and share with us when you are ready.
Regards, Indiana Bob

Wai, your question is like this,,,,
,,,, looking for someone in a fog you hear their voice very strongly, but have no idea where its coming from...
Don't speak in a fog,,, it gets everyone lost,

N U T S !! unsalted at that.
Can you even give the readers an insight, to where and how these ideas came to be birth from your heart and mind, Who taught you this, or how did you reached this conclusion on your own ??
Be forthright and say from where are you coming up with these carnal ideals ??
And no Scripture, wonder why that is ??

It is just a simple statement showing how "ATTRACTION" can bring people together. Yes it is carnal. I think that is very obvious. I am not telling you that this is LOVE. I am saying people are pulled to one another by attraction. You can find someone physically attractive and desire to talk to them. And then maybe by this talking you might get to know one another and then date. Maybe you will even get married later in life.
