Re: Christian Marriage Sex Forum

I think that claiming to be a christian and being a christian are two different things Forever. Over here being a christian is not necessarily popular or fully understood so the situation is a bit more clear. I have never heard of any man involved in porn in our churches. I know that does not necessarily mean that it is not there. I have never actually come across it in any church I have ever been in. I think if one was doing it they would be under so much conviction of the spirit in the meetings that they would really have a hard time.

The nearest thing I got to it was a peeping Tom problem where he was warned consistently by the pastor and then eventually exposed to the whole church in a special meeting called for that purpose.

I think you are right about a spirit. I sometimes think of the flood proceeding from the dragons mouth to drown the church. Something is happening in our day and we are seeing a flood of it more and more. I can agree with you there.

One has no way of knowing how deep the problem is in the church here. One only sees their own type of churches and I don't think I have ever heard the word mentioned yet. Maybe the people who have a problem go to centres where they can get help anonymously and nobody ever hears of it.

I am a bit wary of judging what other married couples do in the privacy of their of their own bedrooms as that is their faith and who am I to judge. People can make pronouncements on practically everything saying it is wrong or okay but which the bible is silent about. In the end we are down to opinions and winning or losing the argument through majority or minority points of views which I think is a very erratic way of learning our marital behaviour. One just has to have their own faith before God for what they do or don't do. He is our judge and he uses our consciences, His word and others through whom He might speak through.

Personally I think it is a thing of joy that God has given in marriage which can be spoiled by a wrong guilt if we are not careful. I am talking about sex here not any particular behaviour and of course only in marriage.
