Bible Question:
OK I don't want to offend anyone and it didn't say anywhere on here stuff about adult questions, but this is definately an adult question so if u r not an adult preferrably a married adult is who i want to talk to, please disregard this question thank you. To my question, my husband and I are having a discussion regarding oralsex. He believes that it is sodomy and therefore a sin and should not b performed i on the other hand do not agree with him, we have both searched the Bible but can't seem to find an answer to our question. If anyone can answer this, is oral sex sodomy, if it is then is it considered wrong for married couples to engage in oral sex, and if it is not sodomy, is there any sin attached to it. I am of course talking about this happening between a married couple. Thank You |
Bible Answer: cherryappleberry, I don't believe there is a definitive scriptural answer to your question. Sodomy appears to be defined as acts of homosexuality in these verses: Deut. 23:17; 1 Kings 14:24; Rom. 1:26, 27. However, there are some principles set forth. We are admonished in Eph. 5:22-25 to "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her," 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 gives us general guidelines pertaining to sex within the marriage relationship. Outside of that, I think the best guide is James 4:17: "Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin." Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
