Tahukah Anda, ada Dua bagian perikop terakhir yang panjang dari Injil Markus (16:9-20)dan Lukas (24:51 ) yang DI SESUAIKAN....? Mengapa disesuaikan .....?? karena kedua bagian tersebut telah dihilangkan terlebih dahulu. Mengapa ayat tentang kenaikan Yesus ke sorga dipindahkan dari tempatnya semula ....?? Naskah Bible yang paling kuno sama sekali tidak menulis ayat tentang kenaikan Yesus itu. Ayat ini merupakan penyisipan yang baru. Sama seperti yang dialami oleh surat kiriman Yohanes pertama 5:7-8 tentang doktrin Trinitas. Tetapi mengapa ayat tentang Trinitas ini dibuang sama sekali, sedangkan ayat tentang kenaikan ke sorga Cuma dipindahkan kebawah catatan kak....?i? Anda tidak usah terkejut....!! Mungkin saat ini panitia perevisinya telah sepakat untuk membuang seluruh kata pngantar yang mereka tulis untuk membuang seluruh kata pengantar yang mereka tulis dalam Revised Standard Version. Bahwa sekte Yehovah telah membuang 27 halaman seronok dari kat

The subject of masturbation is the cause of much concern and confusion among Christians. Most of us are taught that masturbation is sinful or wrong, and many believe that the Bible actually forbids masturbation. The latter is simply untrue; masturbation is not even mentioned in the Bible. And when we consider the facts, it becomes clear that masturbation is not a sin, but rather a blessing from God that enables us to fully enjoy our bodies and can help us lead a more healthy spiritual life. Masturbating for the Glory of God Some people say that they feel guilty, shameful, or dirty after they masturbate, and so they conclude that masturbation must be a sin. This is just because most of us have been taught, often by misguided religious authorities, that our bodies are bad and anything relating to physical pleasure is sinful. This is simply not true, and this is not what God intended for us. God created our bodies, along with our capacity for sexual pleasure and orgas

Since the publication of our original article on anal sex and God’s will, we have received several inquiries asking to clarify God’s position concerning oral sex. We are gratified that so many Christians are hungry for the word of the Lord and are actively seeking the Truth so that they may fulfill His plan in all areas of their lives. The Good News About Oral Sex Like anal sex, oral sex is the subject of much confusion and disagreement among the faithful. There are those who say that oral sex is unnatural because God did not intend our mouths to be used in such a manner. Others associate oral-genital contact with the sexual depravities of Sodom and Gomorrah. As you will see in the Scripture, neither one of these views is supported. Not only that, but oral sex has benefits that are of particular importance to Christians: oral sex allows the natural prevention of unwanted pregnancy and is an alternative to premarital intercourse for those committed to preserving the

Are you saving yourself for your wedding night? The Devil wants you to fail, that’s why he puts stumbling blocks in your way. But God wants you to succeed, and that’s why he has given us an alternative to intercourse before marriage: anal sex. Through anal sex, you can satisfy your body’s needs, while you avoid the risk of unwanted pregnancy and still keep yourself pure for marriage. You may be shocked at first by this idea. Isn’t anal sex (sodomy) forbidden by the Bible? Isn’t anal sex dirty? What’s the difference between having anal sex before marriage and having regular intercourse? Let’s address these issues by debunking some myths about anal sex and God's will. “I thought the Bible said anal sex was a sin.” This is a common misconception. Anal sex is confusing to many Christians because of the attention paid to the Bible’s condemnation of homosexual acts. However, it’s important to realize that these often quoted scriptures refer only to sexual acts between tw

Many readers have written in to ask us about pornography. Is it acceptable for Christians to view adult entertainment? Our stance on pornography is directly informed by our position on sex and sexuality with regards to Christianity. Depending on the circumstances, the act of intercourse can be either a defilement of the body and soul through lust and indulgence of the senses, or it can be a celebration of God-given sexuality that uplifts the bodies and spirits of both partners. Likewise, pornography could be either degrading and sinful (as it almost always is), or it could depict acts that, when viewed appropriately, could enhance the sexual and sensual relationships of believers.   Erotica with Biblical Foundations Consider the Song of Solomon, a deeply sensual and erotic book of the Bible, which describes in lyrical detail the sexual and romantic relationship between a bride and bridegroom. Their dialogue relates to spiritual matters, but relates spirituality th
