Biblical Sex 1
by A look into what the bible says about what sex is and what it is for.
Gen 1:27 – “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
Gen 2:24-25- “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (25) And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
Gen 1:28 – “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
Gen 4:1 – “And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.”
These four excerpts from Genesis is God’s idea of pure, unadulterated sex, and he gives you the most important reason for having sex. From 1:27, we learn that God created male and female.
In 2:24, we see that because God created man, and then created woman as man’s companion, they shall become “one flesh” or married. Notice how it says “he” shall cleave unto his “wife”? It doesn’t say man and man or woman and woman. It clearly states that it is not Ava and Eve or Adam and Steve, but Adam (one man) and Eve (one woman) to be joined together till death.
In verses 1:28 and 4:1, we see that the end result of sex was the conception on their child, Cain. So the primary intention of sex is to have children.
If you look at Song of Solomon 1:12-15, and 3:1-5; Solomon gives you the only other reason to have sex. That reason is to show an expression of love between husband and wife.
So what can we take and learn from everything we just witnessed?
- God created male and female
- God instituted marriage between man and woman
- God created sex to be between married couples only
- The primary reason for sex is to have children
- Sex is also used as an expression of love between married couples
In part 2 of this series we will take a look at how mankind has corrupted and perverted what God intended sex to be in so many ways.
May God Grant Your Prayers

No, it doesn’t say Adam and Steve, but it also doesn’t say Be A Youth Minister. The Bible is pretty positive about polygamy, though. Israel has four arch-mothers but only one arch-father. What’s the lesson in that?

Actually thats the old testament, the new testament says that polygamy is forbidden.
