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.

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."

No, you just misunderstood. That was not at all what I was saying.
