Hi, Frydaddy. You said:
Sex is the most fun that you can have without laughing in and out of marriage.
Eden here:
I agree with that statement, Frydaddy, except for “without laughing”. I just want to establish that I laugh a lot during sex. My phrase would go:
“Sex is the most fun that you can with laughing in and out of marriage.”
While I consider my above phrase true, God nonetheless has said that sex should be WITHIN marriage ONLY. I confess that I have sinned in that area in my own life and have not met God’s STANDARD. But that is the way I was raised, and it is hard to undo the way “we was raised.”
(But thanks be to God, there is One who died for my sins on the cross; some things I can fix, somethings I have not yet fixed but may be able to fix, and some things I have fixed…)
Be blessed, everyone.
Eden

God's laws were not made to keep everyone from "having fun". God's laws were made to show us how to love Him, ourselves, and everyone around us. They were made to protect, give wisdom, correct.
Anytime any of us (Christian or not) walks outside of God's laws, they are being destructive to themselves, and others; this grieves God because He doesn't like seeing people hurt.
Sex outside of marriage brings a temporary "high" but it also can bring:
- unwanted pregnacy
- STD's; including AIDS
- poverty
- shame and rejection
.........and the list goes on and on.
And the truth is that sex outside of marriage can NEVER satisfy. It will ALWAYS be a let down. Sin ALWAYS is a let down. Someone who is promiscuous is always really searching for a sense of emotional intimacy, or acceptance by that person or their own peers, or using people to get off physically. It is not manly, or right, or acceptable to do any of this.
Sex is awesome beyond description inside of marriage; not outside of it.

Question: Why can't a man and woman have sex outside of marriage if they truly love one another?
Answer: God has designed sex to be enjoyed only within the covenant of marriage. The biblical term for sex before marriage is called "fornication." "Adultery" is having sex with someone who is not your spouse. Hebrews 13:4 says, "Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
If you are involved sexually with someone who is not your spouse, God wants you to stop this activity. God will forgive you if you repent (stop doing it) and ask forgiveness from God, who can cleanse you through the blood of Jesus. Here are 6 reasons why you shouldn't have sex outside of marriage.
1. If you love God, you will obey His instructions. Jesus said, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." (John 14:15) If your highest commitment is to Jesus Christ, then you won't compromise your convictions in this area.
2. Sex seals the covenant of marriage. After you have committed yourself to your spouse in the wedding, sex is that which seals the covenant. If you truly love your future spouse, you will wait until after you have committed yourselves to each other in the marriage ceremony. Many engaged couples have made the mistake of having sex before marriage because they were "going to" get married. Then, when they break off their engagement, they deeply regret having been involved sexually. It is the marriage ceremony, not the engagement, which commits you to one another.
3. God designed sex to be enjoyed only within the covenant of marriage. God will not allow sex to fulfill you outside of His purposes. However, God will put His blessing upon sex within marriage.
4. Sex makes you "one flesh" with another person. "Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, 'The two shall become one flesh'." (1 Cor. 6:16). When you have sex with someone, you become one flesh with him or her-bound psychologically to some degree.
5. The person who has sex with numerous people becomes a fragmented person. Like a bee that goes from flower to flower, the person that has sex with others leaves a little bit of himself with each person.
6. Keep yourself pure for your future husband or wife. I've never met one person who regretted keeping himself or herself pure until marriage, but I have talked to multitudes of people who have regretted losing their virginity before marriage. You will not regret keeping yourself pure for God and your future spouse. It doesn't matter how many of your friends are doing it, don't give in to their pressure. Only YOU will live with yourself for the rest of your life. Your "friends" will quickly be gone and could care less about what is best for you. Don't sacrifice your future on the altar of the present, which will soon be past.
If you have already had sex, God can forgive you! He loves you and is giving you a chance right now to start over. If you are not a Christian, please read "God's Plan of Salvation" on this Bible study page. It will show you how you can give your life to Jesus Christ. If you are a Christian but have had sex pray this:
"Heavenly Father, I'm sorry for having sex before I am married. I now realize how wrong it is! won't ever do it again. Please forgive me for having sex. Jesus, thank you for dying for ALL of my sins, including the sexual sins. I ask You to cleanse me and my conscience for the times I have done this. I will keep myself pure until You bring me my future spouse. Thank you for giving me a chance to start over! Amen."

God bless,

Yes, sex is fun... until you hurt someone out of your selfish need for gratification and don't meet their needs for the emotional and spiritual communion that should actually be a part of the overall relationship that includes physical gratification. God designed us so that a committed relationship (i.e., marriage) optimizes the enjoyment of that gift of sexuality.
Of course, you can get a full stomach out of a garbage dumpster... so you may say, "why go to a five-star restaurant since I can get a full belly in the garbage dump?" But once you have had chateaubriand prepared by Wolfgang Puck (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) you will realize that if you can afford it, it is best to eat that way.
Of course, the truth in that analogy is that in the spiritual, emotional and physical oneness that the marriage bed provides, you have the best. And God wants you to have the best.

Ran a phrase searce on my bible program "fed to the worms";
got nothing.
Tried "fed to worms";
got nothing.
Tried a word search with "fed" "worms";
got nothing,
used just the word "worms";
nothing to match the statement quoted.
I have found nothing to back this quote.
Can this be backed up with scripture?

Hello Bumpas;
God has created, AND set the standards.
If one does not repent and receive Christ they stand without righteousness before the LORD GOD and are condemned.
You are responsible before God for your having received or rejected Christ.
Romans 1:
21: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23: And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24: Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26: For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29: Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30: Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31: Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Galations 5:
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
--------------------
A Servant of Christ,
Drew
1 Tim. 3:
16: And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh..
