what does the bible say about oral sex between married couples?
370875
I'm going to take a guess here since I can't be sure what a buch of ***'s refer to. Here are the precepts that can be gleaned from the Bible regarding sexual practices between married couples.\n\n\nIs Oral Sex A Sin - What Does the Bible Say?\nCouples often ask, "Is oral sex a sin?" The best place to look for answers is in the Bible. Hebrews 13:4 says, "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." The first point the Bible makes very clear is that sex - all types - is designed specifically for married couples. Non-married couples are not to practice premarital sex. \n\nThe Bible never indicates exactly what a husband and wife are allowed to do in their sexual relationship. However, there are some sexual principles that we can consider. \n\n\n\nMutual Consent - 1 Corinthians 7:5 says, "Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." This verse indicates that each sexual activity should be mutually agreed upon. \n\n\nAdultery is Sin - The Bible is very clear that any form of adultery is sin, even if both people in a marriage relationship agree to it. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 says, "It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God." Adultery also includes "swapping" or adding sexual partners. \n\nViewing Pornography is a Sin - Matthew 5:28 is very clear. "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Pornography viewed alone or together as a couple is sin. 1 John 2:16 says, "For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world."\n\nIs Oral Sex A Sin - Practical Application\nWhen answering the question "Is oral sex a sin," it is important to remember that God created sex to be a beautiful expression of love for married couples. When the husband or the wife does not feel that sex is a "beautiful expression of love," then changes need to be made in that couple's sex life. Evidentially, the actions are not mutually beneficial to each person. Nothing in the Bible says that oral sex is a sin, however it may not be appropriate for every couple. \n\nIs Oral Sex A Sin - Questions to Consider\nConsider these questions when answering the question "Is oral sex a sin?"\n\nIs oral sex voluntary and have both the husband and wife agreed to it?\n\n\nWhy do you want oral sex? Is it for pure sexual pleasure or is it to fulfill a sexual fantasy derived from porn?\n\n\nHave you or your spouse been convicted by the Holy Spirit that oral sex is wrong?\n\n\nDoes oral sex edify and fulfill both you and your spouse?\nWhile answering these questions, pray for guidance from God. He will reveal the answer to you - for your relationship. \n\nhttp://www.allaboutgod.com/is-oral-sex-a-sin.htm

Paul writes to Timothy about overseers and deacons that, among other things, they should be the husbands of one wife. (I Timothy 3:2, 12) These are people who are supposed to be an example to the flock, so it is especially important that they really do things by the Book.\n\nFor that matter, while back in Old Testament times the patriarchs did often have more than one wife, God instructed the kings of Israel (whether they obeyed Him is another matter, but still...) that they were not to have multiple wives. This is so their hearts would not be led astray. (Deuteronomy 17:17)\n\nBut as far as we 'ordinary people' are concerned, in Matthew 19:3-6, Jesus takes a very strict view of Genesis 2:24, basically indicating that we should live strictly by the following: leave father and mother, cleave to wife, become one flesh. In this instance, He interprets that to mean no divorce (because that is the matter under discussion). Using the same kind of thinking, it would also mean having only one spouse of the opposite sex.

the funny thing is, the original text of the OLD testament didn't say anything about homosexuality being a sin either. the part that's commonly translated to say "a man should not lie with another man as he would lie with a woman, that is detestable" was originally mistranslated on PURPOSE when some homophobic church leaders got together to write the king james version...the original hebrew text translates to "a man should not lie with another man in a woman's bed, that is unclean". so basically there's no restriction on who can have sex with whom, just where they are allowed to do it.

I'd agree with you. But I think you're generalizing the whole christianity...cause...not everyone DOES have God as their foundation for their marriage. I mean...God is love...and if God isnt' in the relationship...then neither is love. I think instead of throwing so much at christians...generalize more in terms of...humans. Yeah...we all sin...but it's still the person's choice to truly start a relationship with God in the center...and yes...looking at porno, masturbating...sodomizing...and w/e other fornicating act...IS sin...and should never be commited by anyone...not even married couples. A healthy relationship sure..has sex..cause God created it not only for having offspring....or recreation...but also being a pleasure. He's good that way. Why change it?\n\n\nOh...dude...I DO suggest you not try to correct people so much. It's not right to just tell people what to do. You gotta explain what God has to say...the Bible says everything we need to know. Try not to argue with people...that just causes more disruptions and arguements. I agree with a lot that you're saying...but preaching is not about rubbing people's beliefs in their face...it's about showing them respectfully the truth. Follow Jesus's example...

It also says for the husbands to love their wives as themselves.\nSo if a wife doesn't want to have sex and the husband makes her or places a guilt trip on her then he is NOT loving her as the Bible says.\nIt's a two way street. Many try to take one verse from the Bible to confirm their wants and desires...the Bible can't be read like that!\n\nThe Bible also says that we were given a sex drive to benefit our spouse, not ourselves. God did not make sex to be a selfish act, but rather a selfless act. WE are to place the others needs above our own. So if we place the others needs above our own, we wouldn't force another into sex to meet our own needs and desires. \n\nSo with all that said, Sex, according to the Bible is a gift to the married couple and should be used as a means of connecting intimately. This can't be done if one of the partners is not interested at that time. \n\nHowever,sex is important and gives us the greatest connections possible if both parters are willing and ready.

No it is not.  It is called the sin of fornication.  That is what sex before marriage is called.  Certainly a true Christian would not be actively engaged in sex before marriage.  A true Christian, who made a mistake, would be repentant and try not to be doing it anymore.

Mathew 5:27-28 "You have heard it said that you shall not commit adultery BUT I say to you that everyone who looks on a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart". So much for pornography.\nSex for pleasure (outside marriage) I Corinthians 6:9 "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God.  Do NOT be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, .....  will inherit the kingdom of God".   So much for fun sex.

This is just a few.....\n\n\nLeviticus 18:22 (Whole Chapter) \n“Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin. \n\n\nLeviticus 20:13 (Whole Chapter) \n“If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense. \n\n\n1 Corinthians 6:9 (Whole Chapter) \nDon’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, \n\n\n1 Timothy 1:10 (Whole Chapter) \nThe law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders, [ Or kidnappers.] liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching\n\n\n....Jesus offers forgiveness for all of our sins. i'm glad you are curious about what the bible says, next time i encourage you to open up the bible and find the answer yourself...instead of going online.

Heb 13:4  Marriage must be honored among all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers.\n\nAs with most of the Bible, we are given commandments and guides for living in the Word.  The Marriage Bed means the sexual relationship between the husband and the wife.  Here's what I've come to learn as 'keeping the marriage bed undefiled':\n\n-Exclusive sexual relationship between a husband and wife, as it is a celebration of God's gift of marital intimacy.\n-No other parties involved: imagined, portrayed, or physically present.\n-Husband and wife are in agreement as to what is done.  Meaning, neither of them feel a sense of regret or abuse.  \n\nBasically, the Holy Spirit is the one who gives interpretation to most of the Bible.  If you want to know what God says is ok, search the Word of God, ask the Holy Spirit in prayer, and listen to what He's saying to your heart.  Let the Spirit lead you.  :)

31 “Moreover it was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 However, I say to YOU that everyone divorcing his wife, except on account of fornication, makes her a subject for adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.\n\nSo, the only scriptural grounds is infidelity.

Sex before marriage is sex without commitment.\n\nExodus 20:14, 1 Corinthians 6:18, Psalm 66:18, 1 Corinthians 13,\n John 8:11, 2 Timothy 2:22 and Genesis 39:7-12.\n\n If you do not like your partners, you can change and find somebody else. Such casual relationships destroy the integrity of the person by reducing it to an object to be used for personal gratification.\n\nSome, who feel hurt and used after sexual encounters, may withdraw altogether from sexual activity for fear of being used again or may decide to use their bodies selfishly, without regard to the feeling of others.\n\nSex? God created it and therefore it is reasonable to expect that it is good. But when man distorts it by ignoring God's specific standards, it becomes harmful and destructive. \n\nAn adulterer was a man who had sexual intercourse with a woman he was not married to, either a married woman or one who was engaged to be married.\n\nSex is a good thing and the only way to keep it a “good thing” is to follow God's guidelines.

It's not that we are against pre-marital sex, it's that we don't want OUR kids doing it before they are emotionally and physically capable of dealing with all the repercusions, such as unwanted pregnancy, STDs etc.  Most Americans do have sex prior to marriage, and have been since the sexual revolution in the '60s.  However, the Bible teaches that sex outside of marriage is a sin.  Sounds to me that your "religious people" are picking and choosing which part of the Bible to follow and which part to ignore.

read hebrws 13:4"Marriage is honarable among all, and the bed undefined; but for fornicators and adultterers God will judge".Also Hebrew 5:5 "For this you know, that no fornicator; unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater. has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God." I hope this helped.
