And a request: I understand I am no administrator. I mean, I'm not even a full-fledged member yet. So I don't want to seem brash. However, given the fact of the topic, is it possible we could all agree to keep the language above reproach? My request is not mandatory, I just find the euphamisms a little bothersome.
But lizard breath started it!!!
hehe... ya I agree.
Anyway, I looked up the end of genisis 3 and didn't find the reference concerning being made one flesh etc. If you could quote exactly what you mean, I would apreciate it.
And I agree that things should apply to "God's deffinition", which is ultimately what I am trying to get at. I do not think the bible actually defines anything about male abstinance, or masturbation. In this whole thread I have yet recived a biblical quote that says any of these things.
If you, or anyone, can provide direct reference to where in the bible it says Males as well as Females should remain virgins because of the reasons stated above (the bit about the emotional well runing dry, the sacred bond of husband and wife, etc. etc.), I would be much obliged to hear it!
I would also like to understand the scriptoral basis for the masturbation taboo. I want to look at both these things from a biblical stand point, using direct reference. I have yet to find this.
Anyone?
