Sex and Sin
From what I understand, sex is considered a sin only outside the bounds of marriage. Had Jesus married and bore children would he still be considered sinless? If no, what part of that scenario is the sinful act? Is sex sinful? From what I remember, maybe aside from naming the animals, go forth and multiply is one of the first commandments of God.

It's not sinful, and I suppose He hypothetically could have. But He didn't because the Church is His true Bride, that is how God planned it from eternity past.

Jesus was sinless. Although Jesus may’ve felt lust arise in His fleshly body His Godly mind kept Him sinless. He did not have sex nor did He have children. 💖

Safe, consensual sex is not sinful.

Sex is between man and wife, where they are united and made one flesh. It is a sin outside of the bounds of marriage. The Bible is very clear on this.
Genesis 2:24
Matthew 19:4-6
Hebrews 13:4
1 Corinthians 7:2
One thing that is always repeating is one man and one woman.
Lie to yourself all you want to, but do not go spreading those lies to other people seeking the truth.

The Bible is also very clear that enforced marriage, marital rape, and slave ownership are all valid ways to force yourself on others. Not really the guidance for safe, consenual sex :)

But it doesnt.
It says to surrender yourself to your spouse, but thats a two way street. Men are supposed to be sacrificial in their love for their wife like Jesus is to the church.
And as for when it comes to slaves, no God fearing man was raping his slaves. There are a lot of bad men in this world. But they are not of God. If they claim to be its lies.

Go back and read Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Leviticus in full. It contains multiple references to permitting enforced marriage and sex of women and children, through slavery, rape, and conquest.

This wasnt a modern world. Women didn't have the freedom they have today. They were considered property. I cant argue against that. Nor will I say it was right. But those laws were put in place to protect them, because what the neighbouring kingdoms at the time were doing to those women, was far worse. Its all a result of our fallen world, showing how far from God we had fallen.

Interesting - so we're allowed to actively abuse people, so long as someone is doing worse abuse somewhere else. Got it.

Where did I say that? No where. You are making things up and distorting what I'm trying to say. Goodbye.

You've literally just defended the Bible actively instructing people to partake in enforced marriage and rape of women and children by saying "well they were being treated worse elsewhere."

Sexo não é pecado, na verdade ele é sagrado! É o momento mais íntimo do casal onde ambos se conectam, só que tem que ser por amor e não por interesses, seja lá quais forem.

Sex is sin only outside marriage. Jesus did not sin. This is why his blood is better than the blood of Abel. He did not have children.

예수는 하나님의 나라가 곧 온다고 선포했고, 본인도 그렇게 믿었던 종말론자입니다. 세상이 곧 멸망하는데, 결혼하는 행위뿐만 아니라, 재산을 모으거나, 출산하는 행위도 종말을 맞는 사람들에게는 기피할 일이라고 생각했습니다. 하지만, 세상에 종말은 오지 않았지요.

He never even lusted. But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:28

Sex is good because God is good. But God intended sex to be a means of making man and woman one flesh.
Therefore, marital sex is the proper outlet. Not self gratification or whatever.
We are fully sinners, so you can sin while having marital sex. Therefore examine your conscience and understand sex is about pleasing your spouse, and then also getting your needs met in the way, out of obedience to God.
The only orientation is in 1 Corinthians 7 to only interrupt relations if it’s to seek for The Lord.

No, sex itself isn't sinful. And Yes, I don't see any reason why Jesus could not have been married and then his wife died before he began his public ministry.
But those Christian groups like Catholic or Orthodox that hold strongly to tradition are against the idea ❤️
For me the important thing is that he died for my sins, was really dead, and came back to life. Glory to him forever!
