How does God really feel about Sex?
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?
