Greetings Kmbrlykay84, "God created human beings as sexual beings. But God intended sexual activity to be confined to the marriage relationship. Unfortunately, as is true with so many other things, many people have taken that which God intended for good and have perverted its use. The result: sexual enslavement. "Scripture has a lot to say about human sexuality. For example: "1. Scripture is consistent in its emphasis that a sexual relationship can only be engaged in within the confines of marriage (1 Cor. 7:2). "2. The apostles urged all Christians to abstain from fornication (Acts 15:20). Paul said that the body is not for fornication and that a man should flee it (1 Cor. 6:13,18). "3. Adultery is condemned in Scripture (Exodus 20:14). In the Old Testament adulterers were to be put to death (Leviticus 20:10). Jesus pronounced adultery wrong even in its basic motives (Matthew 5:27,28). Paul called adultery an evil work of the flesh (Galatians 5:19). John envisioned in the lake of fire some of those who practiced adultery (Revelation 21:8). "Sex within marriage, however, is good (see Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5). Sex was a part of God's "good" creation. Indeed, God created sex and "everything created by God is good" (1 Timothy 4:4). But it is good only within the confines of the marriage relationship, which He Himself ordained (see Hebrews 13:4)."
