Next up (on the17th March) in the series about love.... sexual love. No need to sell this topic but some questions arise. Comments please...
Is sexual intercourse God's idea?
What are the limits?
Is the Bible really coy about the subject?
What's the retationship between eros and agape? (Greek scholars please help)
Did Jesus ever have sexual thoughts?
If Jesus taught (and He did) that lust is a sin just like adultery, when does admiration for a nude body (photo, sculpture, painting) become sinful?
Some people say a marriage that is not consumated is not a real marriage. Are they right?
St Paul said in 1 Corinthians that "because there is so much immorality" those who can't control their passions should marry. What of those who can't find a partner?
He also said that we should make love regularly for similar reasons, only stopping by mutual agreement to pray but even then coming back together soon. What thoughts does this prompt?

Naughty ones!
What's so naughty about sex. God made it for our pleasure in mariage adn we shoudl enjoy it regularly so enjoy
FOLLOW UP TO MEETING
On reflection, we might have spent too much time on the negatives (ie adultery) instead of affirming sex and marital love as God's gifts to us.
What do others think?
Whilst we did focus on adultery quite a bit I think we explored what love is and the type of love that God intends us to share with one another. I personally found this very useful.
