????????????????????

Apparently, not that common..........first I've heard of it.

Since we're using the book of Leviticus for our guide for New Testament church, let's delve a bit deeper..........oh, wait, you pick and choose, that's right.

So, what's your list of no-no's beside this apparent "common sense" one?

Your views on intimate marital relations are skewed my friend ... you have made it into something dirty that defiles the things of God ...

Having boiled it down to something selfish, lustful and just fleshly ...

and yet there are many layers to it ... including spiritual blessing.

I think God is pleased when a married couple can express their love and affection in the marriage bed .... and can bond even more ... physically, emotionally and spiritually .... and does not matter if it's a "church" day ...

You know why??? ... because he broke the veil ... we are the Church every where we go ... in everything we do ....

We are the temples of the Living God.

He is our Sabbath ...

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!

I believe couples "engaging" before a church service would be preferred over many other things that can interfer with the presence of God.

I am shocked! I agree with Dan!

Is the end near?

I would just like to point out that I have not participated in this thread.

Ahem, I don't think that is true!
