How does God really feel about Sex?

Preacher:
Series:
Passage: Genesis 1:27-28
Service Type:

God is very much Pro-Sex.

4 Reasons God made us sexual creatures:

  1. Physical Pleasure - Proverbs 5:18-19, Song of Solomon 2:3
  2. Procreation - Genesis 1:28
  3. Relational Intimacy - Genesis 2:18-225
  4. A Spiritual Object Lesson - Ephesians 5:31-32

 

If God is so pro-sex, then why does it seem like He is so Anti-Sex when I read the Bible?
