Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ...

Did you know? A conservative Christian reveals:

  The Bible word sometimes translated fornication does not mean ‘sex before marriage.’   In the Bible, weddings were purely secular.   Under Old Testament law, casual sex was impossible. For an unmarried man to have sex with an unmarried woman was to make an even more binding commitment than normal marriage.

 

  In God’s eyes, a one night stand makes two people one.   There is a deep spiritual significance in a virgin bride shedding blood on her wedding night.   Christians are free to break many Church and Western traditions.   Despite all the talk, the power and mystery of sex is even less understood in our era.
