Unmarried sexual relations

[Captain Obvious]

That is very pleasurable :-D

Satan does not exist as your God does not, neither.

And for what reason your God would punish me beyond doubting its existence? Is that a good reason to send someone to Hell? It is an interesting view of God. A resentful and vengeful God that will punish anyone that does not believe in him. Well, with this perspective and reasoning do you think is a good way to attract someone to this religion?

Well, but remembering what God did in the Bible, it is not surprising. Maybe you adore the wrong one. Comparing God to Luciver, looks like Lucifer a benevolent and a freedom fighter instead the Devil incarnated that is represented in the Bible. I would say that maybe the Devil and bad character is the protagonist of your novel, and the antagonist is the good one. Lucifer seeing the dictatorship that was living by the strict laws of fought for freedom and rebelled against God.

What were you saying about security again?

Remind me.

Oh, Satan has plans for you and talking isn't one of them. You might have an eternity with a burning stick up your ass.

Wishing that fate for anyone is not exactly the Christian ideal, now is it?

Hell neither Heaven don't exist. And between Heaven or Hell i prefer to go to Hell (supposing the stories of your fictious book the Bible were real) with enlightened people like Bakunin, Kropotkin, Einstein and many other intelligent people :-D

Also, in hell I can have more fun. I will meet with Lucifer and I will be able to have discussions with him or any other demons that there are :-D

Your entitled to believe whatever it is you choose, and so does everyone else

Here, I think, is an interesting question:

From a Christian standpoint--not from a contemporary societal standpoint, but from a purely Christian standpoint--is it always immoral to have sexual relations outside of marriage?

Most people, I believe, will reflexively answer "yes."

But is that actually the case?

True, Paul does condemn "fornication," as many English versions have it.

Two thoughts come to mind, however:

First, unmarried sex, in the first century--long before any reliable methods of birth control were formulated--often led to unwanted pregnancies. And the father often abandoned the mother, thereby causing serious problems.

Moreover, the word "fornication" is a translation of the Greek word porneia (from which we get pornography). It is generally defined, by the lexicons, as sexual immorality (which begs the question: What, exactly, does this include; and what does it exclude?).

And it is closely associated with "reveling" and "carousing"--what we would nowadays refer to as partying.

But it is very difficult to imagine that a couple--perhaps even a longtime couple--is "partying" when they express love in a physical manner.

Thoughts?

Nothing stops the drive to couple, whether in marriage or out of marriage.

Dream about that burning stick. I will believe as I choose. I know I'm not going to get a colostomy by fire. Enjoy.
