Biblically speaking: “Sex is a right of marriage“

[~Shocher emit~]

Speaking only as to what the bible states, show either your opposition or support for the following.

________________________________________________________________________

Sex is a prerequisite to marriage. Sex was preordained and inspired by the word of Yah.

Gen 1:27 Elohim created man in his own image. In Elohim's image he created him; male and female he created them.
Gen 1:28 Elohim blessed them. Elohim said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

Sex was meant to be enjoyed.

Ecc 9:9 Live joyfully with the wives whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity: for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.

Bump, bump

Amazing, it seems no one has an opinion here on this issue.

 

[angellous_evangellous]

Maybe everyone thinks that it's silly?

 

[Charity]

Maybe you missed the scripture where it says that they can abstain from sex by mutual consent..... Or when the monthly curse is upon us......

I don't see sex as a "right" of marriage it is part of marriage. An extra bonus and fulfillment shared by husband and wife and based on love.

Possibly, but then not everybody are ignorant.

Nope, I didn't miss the law in the Torah as to not laying with a woman that was going through her menstruation cycle. Nor did I miss Shaul’s opinion. You just neglected to post the following verse. That’s o.k. I’ll do it for you.

1Co 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
1Co 7:6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

It wasn’t a commandment but rather his opinion.

Yet nothing you have stated or posted has refuted what I posted to begin with. It is a right as it was commanded that we be fruitful and multiply. Other than being a test tube baby, how else can we be fruitful and multiply without a right to sex in a marriage? We can’t.

Honestly hun, there are christians out there, most who also believe in infallibility, (and trust me, we don't need to go there again) who would say that sex is a right of marriage because of scripture so and so. But I don't think many of them are here.

Some people will actually use this to try and shame their wife into sleeping with them when they have no intention of making babies. Heck, some husbands will use the fact that they are simply married with vows to love each other, without dragging the bible into it at all.

The point is, this scripture is pointless. It states the obvious. It is clumsy at its best because it can be misconstrued so easily to coerce, and a subjugator at its worst. Back in the day men were put on a pedestal and I'm sure most did feel that sex was their right as husband regardless of how the wife felt and what other parts of the bible said. They could just refer to this verse and get their way.

People who are married and happy will gladly have sex to make babies or just for fun. It's not a "right" it just "is." The only time when it could be viewed as a right is if it is being denied. The only instances where "rights" really get brought up is during denial, the fear of denial, or outlining the terms of "rights," so they can't be denied.

Bleah... *puke

K I'm done. Sorry about the rant. I feel better already.

I agree completely. Eve was created second and was put here for man as a helper. Together, it was commanded that they be fruitful and multiply.

Hi Friends, 1 corinthians 6: 9-11 teaches that neither fornicators or adulterers will inherit ( recieve grace, salvation ) Gods kingdom. Besides other acts listed there also. It teaches us what repentence actually equals. because the passages goes on to say-- that is what some of you were ( past tense ) meaning repentence= the stopping of a sin and putting it in the past. It says in # 9 dont be fooled by any other truth on this matter.

Sex is a rite of marriage...

No it's not. Sex is a recreational pastime.

Marriage can't include recreation?
A rite can't be recreational?
Must be really boring at your house...

Marriage does not give a person a right to have sex. I have never raped my wife or vice versa.

I never went in for the concept of sex as a rite. Somehow planning for sex takes some of the fun out of it. On the other hand I have taken a utilitarian view of sex as a method of producing a child. Now that we have billions of people in the world I would venture to say that we have replenished it and all we need to do now is maintain our population or even shrink it which would cut out some of the bad actors although it seems as though we had more of them when the population was smaller, go figure.

Numbers 21:10 "he shall not diminish her sustenance, her clothing, or her marital relations."

Apparently it is a right.

 

[Vasilisa Jade]

Numbers 21:10 "he shall not diminish her sustenance, her clothing, or her marital relations."

Apparently it is a right.

But isn't there a difference between a right and a rite? A rite is like a religious ceremony, like baptism or the sacrament or whatever. In those terms sex is just like a personal ceremony that takes place after marriage, and what couple doesn't want to have sex right after they're married? lol.

A right is like something you are entitled to whether others want you to have it or not.

Am I off base here?

Biblically speaking, sex isn't a "prerequisite" for marriage. Marriage is a "prerequisite" for sex.

[elisheba]

The teachings, commandments, and examples in the Hebrew scriptures are for our benefit and health. It is not healthy for a male to go without marital activity for long - it leads commonly to prostatitis. In scripture people marry early and have lots of offspring. Even on the American Cancer Society's website it states that the earlier a female starts having babies and nursing them - the less risk of cancer she has. Abortion raises the incidence of cancer and suicide. Non-circumcised males have more HIV. Their wives have more uterine cancer. Marital rights are for a reason and they are for females as well.

Rite = "custom."

In biblical times, 40 was a ripe, old age, and people had lots of children to help out with the sustenance farming. Plus, a lot of babies died.
