This post will probably be the downfall of this blog. I will probably be marked by the search engines as a spawn of spam and all that is evil on the web. That being said I’m going to be teaching about Sex for an adult Sunday School class and I’m requesting that the readers of this blog help me out. What I need is for you to email me privately (randy@randypeterman.com) or leave a comment with what you think the Bible or Christianity teaches about sex (except my parents, who are requested NOT to send me anything of the sort). If you leave a comment it will NOT be published publicly, pretend its an email. I don’t care if you’re a Christian or not, in fact if you’re not a Christian I’m particularly interested in what you have to say. I may read quotes from your emails in the class but I will do so anonymously so that your name, age, height, food preferences and spelling mistakes stay private.
I’m particularly interested in the following questions:
- Is sex considered bad by the Bible/Christians?
- What does the Bible/Christianity say about sexual morality?
- How should cultural shifts between the times of the Bible (granted we’re talking about thousands of years just between Genesis and the writing of Revelation) and our modern culture be considered? That is does the change in culture and cultural attitude about sexuality nullify the Bible/Christian view that you understand?
- Anything else you can think of that you’d like to tell me, even if its something you strongly disagree with that I’ve said 🙂
- This does not have to be heterosexual or homosexual only, it can be any type of sexuality as long as it addresses your opinion/understanding and Christianity.
Thanks for any and all help that I may (or may not) get. It would be handy if you have a blog or email that you might post a link to this so that I might get a wider result set for my minimal research. If in your email you specify that I may later blog parts of your email I might do a posting that tabulates some of the data, but only if I’m given explicit permission to do so.
Thanks!
I like sex.
