"To sex or not to sex.... that is the question...." [?]

 The other day, I started an entry that was going to give some thoughts on some of the wisdom I have gained over the years regarding the topic of sex and Christianity as nowadays we have many changes to society that no longer follow the patterns and cultural trends of more ancient biblical eras. 

Everyone has their own opinions and I've read many different Christ following authors' thoughts on the subject over the years, but you may say to yourself, K have you had sex? I would say the question in itself nowadays people approach it with a semantic range of perception and unfortunatly also deception.

To contexualize the subject a bit, I will use a more modern author's words, modern as in, at least I've listened to this particular person speak live before, unlike another author such as the Apostle Paul:

"While it is wise to learn from experience, it is even wiser to learn from the experience of others." [RW]

I personally have had many people entrust me with their different viewpoints regarding sex on a first person dialogue perpsective, but I typically only initial people who are much more known in the public's eyes. In addition to being well read, admittedly I know more on the subject than people realize and in some ways it is a regret that I know more about the subject than I ought. Though over the years I have often made some exceptions on several posts I probably will unpublish indefinetly within the next 3 to 5 years. 

So I will address the most immediate and thought provoking question first society needs to prayerfully submit to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus. Should I be having sex? 

The most obvious questions about sex are actually already answered but sometimes people need to ask themselves the less obvious questions that actually are at the heart of the issue that matter the most. So instead of the question I have just formatted in the above, I propose an alternative question 

-> Is sexual excitement going to be of some benefit to me this month? <-

I think this is the "more excellent way" [1 Corinthians 12] that Christians ought to be following and approaching the question nowadays. As currently in some areas of the world, we are headed to people being very preoccupied with addressing the how can I celebrate life this year with sex on their brains. 

One dilemma is, people often do not recongize that sex is tied into our cognition naturally as a desire to experience a kind of joy only one person can give without physically touching us, the love of our God above [John 1–John 4]. Most people who call Jesus their Lord, Saviour, King or leader sometimes forget about him also being the Example and although there had been some speculation as to how much of what we know nowadays to be defined as "a virgin". I personally don't think Jesus needed sex to supplement his contentment regarding life during his pilgramage in human form but I do see him using the sex often as an illustration to his people regarding certain theological topics to point us to increased knowledge of God, I am going to turn in for the night soon so I will just leave the scripture here for you to pounder and make an effort to expound on it further a future time:

3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]”

4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d]

9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 

[John 3:3–12]
