Sex And Bible
"...The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the
Lord for the body...Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ
himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a
prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute
is one with her in body? For it is said 'the two will become one flesh'
..." [I Corinthians 6:13-16] [When you have sex with someone, you become
one.] "The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and
likewise the wife to her husband. The wife's body does not belong to her alone
