In my mind, therein lies a major problem. As shown earlier in this post the bible points to some types of sex as bad and some types as good. To me that means there is allowable interpretation in everything. Actually, come to think of it, isn't every sermon the preachers own interpratation of the bible based on his education in that field? So, if we're to rely on church to guide us through these issues, why aren't they focusing on the positive messages about sexuality that are present in the bible? Wouldn't this be a step in the right direction to helping couples with these issues?
In light of your statement about not going against the bibles teachings which I can respect as your decision and interpretation, how do you approach the things that the bible does not teach? As great as a book as it is, it's like a constitution, not every single subject can ever be broached by one manual, it has to be built upon and grown. Where do you propose that we start teaching people about sexualtiy? To modern christians it seems to me that if it doesn't start out as handed down from the church, then it's automatically thrown out as evil pornographic propaganda. So, my question still stands, how should the church address this, if this is where you are going for your guidance on sexual issues?
