"When God created the world, He wanted man to populate it, and quick...Ecclesiastes states that man's purpose on the planet is to worship God...therefore, no people, no worship...in many ways, that is why any sexual deviance (including masterbation and withdrawal for birth control *see the story of Tamar, Judah, and Onan for that one*) were considered sinful because they were misusing the direct purpose of the sexual act--populating the world..."
Yeaho the same problem after the flood. That's when the so called Noahide laws went into effect.
Hmmm, A couple of other points too. Adam and Eve had two sons, who then had kids, who did they mate with? Their sisters? Incest city, man! There are people who will argue that that was before the commandments so it wasn't a sin then, buttttt.
A lot of christians run around talking about how they hate the Devil, but there's not one word in the Book that says God hates Lucifer. In fact Lucifer boldly walked into heaven and had an argument with God over Job.
One has to stop and ponder things like that. Including the fact that David was a womanizer and committed adultery, then had the woman's husband killed because he got her pregnant and was trying to cover it up. He was supposed to be the apple of God's eye.
I don't think I would have liked the apostle Paul too much. He didn't seem to like women or have a lot of respect for them. Sigh. Oh well.
The way I look at it is this. I have to account to God for what I do. Not for what everyone else does. It's not my business to mind someone else's soul, it's my business to mind my own and I have enough trouble tending to mine to try to tend everyone else's too. It's too bad a lot of christians think that forgiven means perfect and therefore they have a right to tend your conscience and your soul for you. I think Jesus said it best.
"Why are you trying to pull the splinter out of your brother's eye when you have a log sticking out of your own. Go get the log out of your own eye first."(Paraphrased)
"Those who haven't sinned, cast the first stone." (Paraphrased)
Heeee, a lot of people can't seem to figure out what that means:)
