:question:
Here you go.
Clearly, that's false.
Might I suggest you improve the attitude you displayed here. I don't think that's an attitude of every atheist, but it certainly is, of some.
It would make receiving what you ask for easier.
Actually, persons having such an attitude is the reason...
I think it means, no coitus between the persons mentioned in Leviticus 18:7-20. And Leviticus 18: 22 means no anal sex. And Leviticus18:23 means that same things with animals is also not accepted.
a woman's desire is naturally to her husband and he is over her, so it would have been the male who needs to be held accountable since he is ruling over her. You indirectly reminded me of this which I believes help to complete the puzzle or add another layer to it.
Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he...
I've broken half of the ten commandments, even so, if I were to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, God would consider me as having been recused of any wrongdoing. ....I'd be judged by God as though I had always followed each and every one of God's commandments.
A few other translations for comparison
(1) Ephesians 2:13-15 (NRSV)
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the...
And how would the violation be explained?
Any one can charge an individual with anything
Let us say:
Rule 4: Soliciting/Advertising and Off-Topic Spam
But who am I advertising or soliciting?
Is this off topic or related?
Isn't it related to the OP:
How then would that be a violation?
God wants what's best for us and for his other beings. If you read the Bible more as a guide to a life with as few as necessary negative experiences, it makes a lot more sense then reading it as a list of arbitrary prohibitions.
the Old testament has case law... and so... 'and the like' would be wrong as well
but 'fornicators God will judge' from Hebrews regarding pre martial sex seems to cover the 60s free love thing pretty well
.
In going over god's (the god of Abraham) interest in sexual matters I discovered that he's quite clear about what he's against: having sex during one's monthly period, sexual immorality, passion, orgies, rape, sensuality, adultery, bestiality, homosexuality, and prostitution. Now, I can...
Let's remember, that for Objective morality to exist, God must exist.
Everyone wants their view on this subject to be objective. Even when they claim that their view is subjective, they want this view to be on the same level as the objective view.
Now in order to see if God even has a view on...
So your contention is that premarital sex was just fine and dandy. "Come here my love and spread your butt cheeks." Or, "Open wide. Daddy's got a present for you."
No it doesn't.

OTHER than adultery? Isn't that enough? And then there are the other sexual acts outside of marriage that are proscribed. You quoted 1 Corinthians 6:9--men who have sex with men--and then having sex with animals would be another (Leviticus18:23, 20:15). Even just running around naked could...
Of course "what everyone does in bed" was only meant figuratively. It's a term for sexual practices, and for some reason god really cares about them.
Galatians 5:19
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
Hebrews 13:4
Let marriage be held in honor...
I say obsession because sex and nakedness in one form or another appear in the Bible to an inordinate degree. Of course most instances have to do with the immorality or the prohibition of various acts, from merely looking at someone with lustful intent to not having sex with animals. Yet there...
I suppose that morality and immorality are in the eyes of the beholder. However, considering that this thread is in the “Religious Debates” category, and has been around for nearly five years with 182 posts, I am surprised that no one has yet mentioned Vayyiq’ra/Leviticus18:23 and 20:15, 16...
Not really. If you condemn adultery, you reduce the chances of someone commiting adultery with someone elses wife.
Ditto. Free sex without commitment is dangerous. Instead of living a door open, it is easier to close them all.
Ok. Homosexuality is included. That deviates from my claim...
Thing is. Many of the issues the Bible has about sex have nothing to do with "the ones who made him up wanted to make sure to be the fathers of their kids."
Matthew 5:28
28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Jeremiah...
