A Christian Discussion of Sexuality

Just as I predicted, my post about the .XXX internet domain brought searches from pornographic sites.  Though you and I may not subscribe to every idea expressed in the interview (and Christians are not required to agree on every issue *) the link below is very interesting.  It is a question and answer session with two sexologists on the Christian sexually-oriented website Intimacy4us.

"I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that." 1 Corinthians 7:7

"If anyone thinks he is acting improperly toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if she is getting along in years and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married. But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing." 1 Corinthians 7:36, 37.

"A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord." 1 Corinthians 7:39

In all these verses, Paul uses the word thelo (wish), which carries the idea of personal preference or opinion.
