How does God really feel about Sex?
Bible Text: Genesis 1:27-28 | Preacher: Nathan Herrlin | Series: Culture Shock | God is very much Pro-Sex.
4 Reasons God made us sexual creatures:
Physical Pleasure – Proverbs 5:18-19, Song of Solomon 2:3
Procreation – Genesis 1:28
Relational Intimacy – Genesis 2:18-225
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?
