For several reasons. First, it should be understood that the only sexual act that is moral is natural sexual relations between a man and a woman who are married to each other.<BR/><BR/>Now, concerning heterosexual sexual sins, some are more serious than others. Natural sex before marriage is a sin against God's plan that sexual relations take place only within marriage. Adultery is a sin against both God's plan for marriage and against one's spouse and children.<BR/><BR/>Unnatural sex within marriage is a sin against the natural order that God created in the human person, and it is a sin against procreation, and it is a sin against one's spouse. <BR/><BR/>Unnatural sex outside of marriage is an even worse sin because it adds the sin against God's plan for marriage. <BR/><BR/>Rape adds a sin against the body and the will of another human person, in addition to the other above-mentioned factors. The factors that make any sexual acts sinful, or more sinful, include one or more of the following (in no particular order):<BR/><BR/><I>a.) sex outside of marriage - offends against God's plan for marriage and marital relations.<BR/><BR/>b.) adultery - offends against one's own spouse and/or against the spouse of another person.<BR/><BR/>c.) contraceptive sex - offends against God's plan for procreation.<BR/><BR/>d.) masturbation - offends against God's plan for marriage and procreation, and against the human person<BR/><BR/>e.) unnatural sex - offends against nature, i.e. the natural order that God created in the human person, and against procreation, and against the other person.<BR/><BR/>f.) rape (sex without consent) - offends against the body and the will of another person and against God.<BR/><BR/>g.) underage sex - offends against God's plan for children and adults, and against consent. Sexual relations between an adult and a teen is even more offensive than between two teens. Sexual relations between an adult and a child is all the more offensive, and increases in offensiveness as the age of the child decreases.<BR/><BR/>h.) homosexual sex - necessarily includes the offenses of unnatural sex, non-procreative sex, sex outside of marriage, and further offends against God's will that sexual relations only occur between a man and a woman.<BR/><BR/>i.) other sexual sins - various types of perversities offend even further against God, His plan, and His creation.</I><BR/><BR/>More than one of the above-listed factors are sometimes found together in the same relationship or in the same sexual act. Each factor increases the sinfulness of the acts. <BR/><BR/>Note that there are other sins and perversities that offend even further against God.<BR/><BR/>Homosexual sex necessarily offends against God's plan for marriage, and for procreation, and is necessarily unnatural, and it adds the further perversity of offending against God's will that sexual relations only occur between a man and a woman. <BR/><BR/>This further offense is against the very order that God created in the human race and in Creation. Therefore, homosexual sins are not equivalent to heterosexual sins, but are much worse. <BR/><BR/>Some Christians think that all sex outside of marriage is equally sinful. But this is not so. Homosexual acts are a more serious offense against God because they are fundamentally and objectively a greater state of disorder and a greater state of opposition to God's plan.Mickyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07940745178193985942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993932196544427232.post-87630326614909127392008-12-06T22:03:00.000-08:002008-12-06T22:03:00.000-08:00Interesting view of what dreams can mean, yet who truly knows why the brain continues to talk while we're in another dimension, the realm of sleep? Everyone dreams so sayeth the experts, not everyone remembers. I think your dream's more meaningful idea is not about love or vows or anything lost and found. I think it's about yearning. As your body re-sets itself, our brains chatter away to themselves speaking their own unique language. Trying to interpret it seems folly, so the best we can do is take a guess - I've been studying dreams so long and I'm still not sure I'm sure. Why do people call something good or beautiful "dreamy"? CT-scans and blood work done on people in REM sleep find the brain releases more endorphins (natural opiates) in that state. I truly believe we need to dream to be completely human, it's part of our physiology. Thanks for the very poetic tour. http://cathy-daretothink.blogspopt.com/Cathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13788060917420508410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993932196544427232.post-74180407459221227312008-11-28T21:30:00.000-08:002008-11-28T21:30:00.000-08:00Marc, there is something for you over on my journal! ;)<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>MelissaMelissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13142165989773432032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993932196544427232.post-87428909149215041522008-11-26T21:48:00.000-08:002008-11-26T21:48:00.000-08:00Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
