Christianity's Obsession with Sex

Among the first commandments God gives in the Bible is “Be fruitful and multiply,” but for some reason Christianity has narrowed the definition of sin to focus almost exclusively on “sex.” Christianity’s largest denomination, the Roman Catholic Church continues to insist that clergy live entirely celibate - a lifestyle that looks increasingly like a bizarre fetish in the 21st Century. Schisms of the church have occurred over the idea of divorce. A preponderance of Christian sects have led the charge against recognizing the human rights of the LGBTQ+ communities. John Hamer of Toronto Centre Place will look at why Christians seem to be sex-obsessed and offer ideas for overcoming Christian error and bigotry.

In ancient Rome surplus, unwanted children were either directly sold into slavery, or abandoned so that slave dealers found them. Either way, they became slaves. Children begotten in casual sex were very often enslaved. This may be one explanation for early Christians condemning recreational sex.

It makes me so sad that "Christians" worship more how Jesus died instead on how he lived and loved.

[@wwiels]

Yeah, well, because that's kinda the entire point of the gospels buddy. :P Paul is very explicit ..

[@rickwrites2612]

​​​​​​@@wwiels Well its both. Obviously the central point is the sacrifice to end all sacrifice, that Jesus died and suffered to redeem us and rose again. Still, Paul *isnt* Christ and if we are assuming the Gospels are true or at least inspired I think Christs actual words supercede Pauls interpretation. Jesus' advice and example on how to live *in addition* to how to believe in Him, reveal the true Christian ie "they shall know you by your fruits". Many so called Christians today- (primarily certain politically involved Evangelicals driven by power and greed) are morally and spiritually repulsive. Jesus protected the vulnerable and ate with underdogs and scapegoats of society. He discouraged wealth, especially passive wealth from rent/lease, or interest. He had no beef with the state apparatus, rather he called out the entrenched religious leaders who cared more about rules than people. He sought to understand and truly loved people, and he basically put the Sermon on the Mount stuff about love as the priority commandment over the OT, as He fulfilled the law. He convinced people to leave their families and travel with Him in an itinerant band who freely shared resources and was egalitarian toward women. (Hell, even Paul had a female disciple who followed him, cut her hair and dressed as a man).

Many religious institutions need to be audited and investigated. Many churches are cesspools, many should be closed down. Some act as businesses and should be taxed. Many are unchristian to the highest degree. As a non religious person I cant ever trust a religious organization.

[@monus782]

Until a few years ago I was a very conservative and devout Catholic and the version of Purity Culture I went through as a guy in my late teens and early 20's was nothing short of brutal, it was all about not giving in to "impure thoughts" and when I inevitably did I had to confess them to a priest and I did that very often. This is the one thing I'll probably never forgive my former church because I was basically allowing celibate men to control my sex life while reports of all the abuse going on in that institution were coming out and now I can see why so many have left over that as mentioned here (before that I was made to believe it was just "a few bad apples"), I'm still trying to recover from what others may call Catholic Guilt and reading how some of the early Christians really hated sex has explained so much for me. Also I took Matthew 5:27 literally (except for the eye gouging) and I used it as justification for that repression, it's one of those passages I was probably taking out of context alongside the Onan story in Genesis. The rules I got were so convoluted in some aspects that at one point I wondered how was I supposed to get intimate with a partner without commiting a sin that would lead me to hell and the most extreme interpretations I've come across seem to treat sex as a necessary evil.

Hi I just found your site a couple days ago. I appreciate your analyzes and historical expertise in early Christianity. No I'm not a Christian I used to be many years ago but I got tired of being told I'm sinful and if you don't believe exactly what we believe you're going to hell. What's always seem to odd to me is that for a small mistake on earth you can be confined to hell for all eternity. Duh that just seems so weird. So anyway I will never be a Christian but if I was close to your church I would come to your Your services. Thanks again for all you do and for your balanced approach to religion

Thank you for a good lecture. As a non-Christian European, I came to listen because I was looking for perspectives out of interest for historical re-enactment. In addition to that, I found a comforting and balancing window into modern Christianity. The U.S. political right wing fanaticism does so much harm to the image of the whole religion across the world, because it gets in the media so much. It was really nice to catch a glimpse of a more compassionate version.

[@BardChords]

Also it's in the media all the time, but it isn't real. There are not a lot of fundamentalists in the US, American Christians tend to read the last chapter of the bible and stop there. Evangelicals, for instance, are often called fundamentalist christians by the media but you can't even classify them by church because the variation is so great, and american religion is so nebulous that the churches and what is taught are always changing. The most extreme right-wingers seem to be atheists, or only recent converts to denominations like orthodoxy or catholicism. Compared to Europe, it's nothing. Americans are so much more moderate and tolerant than Europeans, you guys are true savages.

[@lumikkihusu7259]

Savages and proud of it! Sometimes those outlier faith combos take really weird forms... But luckily we have a wide enough separation of "the church" i.e. religion in general and the state, so that individual people are a little bit less likely to get hurt. I hope.

[@BardChords]

@@lumikkihusu7259 What does separation of church and state matter if you are worried about a reactionary backlash that takes over government democratically, and then permanently changes it to consolidate power? Purges, parades, propaganda, etcetera? It seems like in Europe, the people that are forming the rapidly-growing backlash parties are more nationalistic than religious.

Near the end, Ashura is mentioned as Yahweh's wife. If I understand correctly, Asherah is the wife of El, with El and Ashura being the parents of Yahweh (+69 additional Gods including Yahweh's brother, Baal, who was an early competitor for Hebrew worship. Am I not correct?

Anyone collecting money for ministering in any way is now blacked out from the Holy Spirit and will be until they either repent or wait too late and die. Same goes for anyone teaching same sex marriage is a sin when it is not. Male or female is determined by gender, located in the brain. I am the forerunner to the return of Jesus, who was transgender and will return as a woman. Most of the famous prophets from the Bible were transgender as well, including David and Joseph.

Just claiming to "know" what or who "God" is is the epitomy of arrogance, in my humble opinion, let alone "knowing" what is proscribed or condemned by this "god".

[@Darisiabgal7573]

@@Mar-dk3mp If you can give me two concise definitions we can what I am First, a single concise definition of god that is consistent with the notion of the first and latest understandings of ilu (c.3000 BC to El Elyon to Yahweh to the hyperstatic union) up to and encompassing all forms of christianity, mandeanism and Islam Second, a single concise definition of the soul, which includes Adam, Paul's notion, Johannian notions, early christian notions, and modern notions. The definition you provide should be unique to judeochristian thought and not overlap with classical philosophical "pagan" movements (e.g. not derived from Philo of Alexander) Without a cogent devinition of god and soul your 'Titles' are vacuous. Divity comes from within and only from within. Joseph smith II was on the right track, but he was deluded by power, magic and trinkets. In reading the ancient literature one comes to understand that the everchanging notion of god (ilu/anu) reflects the changing organizations of society. These projections of god are projections of human thinking and religious philosophy. It came to mind in the time before cyrus, that the connection of belief to social structure was a corruption. In mesopotamian the temple classes were kept separate from rulers, by the time of cyrus it was getting difficult to separate god from dynasic rulers (the enuma elis), and so developed mystery religions an independency of esoteric mysticism. The critical meaning of the phrase is to emphasize the doubly hidden nature. To be hidden and kept hidden. There is a special meaning to this, because expressions of esoteric divine are generally profane (See peters vision in Acts) and proclamations as such are generally false prophesies (Invasion of Tyre in Ezekial, the coming of the Messiah in Daniel, the mission of the disciples in Q, and the Apocalypticism of Paul) In general esoteric divinities are personal gods. In some cases the followers are the elect, it is by their choice and their mystic abilities that the divine reveals himself (e.g. the gospel of John). The error however in protognosticism and orthodox mysticism is that just like mystery religions of greco-roman origins, the experiential is driven by the magick embedded in the rituals (including the readings). So at some point these religions are in violation of esotericism and promoting exoteric (cloistered and driven by iconography) mysticism. The locality and individuality of mystical experience that Yeshu and Peter enjoyed is removed by church magick. The mediatation in isolation is removed and replaced by communal ritual, chants, repetitious songs, etc. Christianity in earnest begins with a mystical experience (read Mark and Q source), not in a church, following a chant, starring at icons, singing from hymnals. If you want to know the divine you have to release yourself from your pagan born ideas about divinity and soul. The more studied one becomes in worlds religion the less one is certain of what god is and what the soul is, and at some point ones stares into onself and sees a phantom. I am a mystic, just like Joseph Smith, Peter, Paul, Yeshu_ of Nazara, Ezekial, Second Isaiah, Zoroaster, Margeruite Porete etc. No different from these, but Im not trying to sell you magical snake oil to relieve your fear of failure and death. As a mystic, just like Paul, Jesus, Ezekial i am free to explore my inner divity and comment on the divinity of others. If you want to know what scholars believed early christianity was like, watch the presentations by Elaine Morgan concerning the gospels of John and Tomas. See the point is that you think you know what christianity is, but you dont, you know what roman conformalism made it to be.

First, let me say that I have seen and heard many of your lectures during the pandemic. I have enjoyed them and wish I can, some time, go to Canada and listen to one in person. I have some questions on this latest one: 1. You mentioned (as in the past) the Q gospel. I understand there is no scholarly agreement on the documentary hypothesis. Could you elaborate? 2. You mentioned Paul's letters. I have also heard, maybe you have mentioned it too, that some of those letters may not have been written by Paul. Are any of those among the ones you are citing? 3. You mentioned Jesus teachings related to sex. In one instance he seems to correct interpretation on what Moses said. How certain can we be that those teachings are not things placed there by the authors (not eye-witnesses of Jesus) or whichever group they belonged to? I have some more questions on this and other topics but maybe I can ask them via e-mail, if you have one for comments or questions. Thanks

Technically, Catholic celibacy requirements are not as universal as John presents - The Roman Church allows married men into the diaconate, and married priests from other churches (esp. Anglican, Methodist, and Lutheran) are often reordained to the priesthood if they convert. The Archdiocese of Anchorage has Rev. Fr. Scott Medlock, who is married. Widowers are also eligible for entering the seminary and ordination to all ranks of clergy. The Archdiocese of Anchorage is blessed with Rev. Fr. Erik Wiseman, a widower ordained after his children left home. The Eastern Churches in the Roman Communion (20+ of them) mostly allow married priests and deacons. A priest cannot be made a bishop unless his wife enters the monastic life or Eternal Life... Widower priests in the Eastern Churches are seldom considered for the episcopate, but it's occasionally happened. (The Eastern Orthodox and Coptic Orthodox communions likewise allow married men into the diaconate and priesthood - should their clercy convert, they are not reordained, as the Catholic communion recognizes their ordinations as valid.)

Interesting point on trying to balance boundary exclusion and inherent sunk cost versus boundary inclusion and less dedication. This definitely seems to be a reason for decreasing church attendance. I would love a lecture from you on what you think it would take to increase church attendance. On the one hand, strictness does make followers more fervent, but born out of that is usually abuse - like I escaped scientology narrative. Is it possible with humans to create power imbalance and isolation and not have abuse of said power - i feel like not.

Any comment on the statement that the word virgin, referring to Mary mother of Jesus, is a mistranslation. I've heard that the original word refers to a young woman and not to one that has not had sex

[@helenr4300]

Languages don't match each other neatly. In the Greek translation of Hebrew scriptures that was around when gospels were written (septuguint aka LXX as alleged 70 scholars) the Hebrew word that could mean young woman generally got translated into a Greek word specifically meaning virgin. Matthew's gospel was written by someone very keen to show Jesus as fulfilment of prophesy, and as a user of Greek likely tried to get an origin story for Jesus that fitted the version of Old Testament they were reading, and so the birth must be of a virgin.

The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away.

Mercury can cause the switch that is supposed to go boy OR girl to land somewhere in the middle. In the past exposure would be from volcanic fumes. The sheep eating the grass with after the volcano went off might develop homosexual tendencies too. The word used in the bible might be "wrong" rather than "bad". It would be an unusual occurance marked by a notable behavioral change in all animals. Mercury also increases anger in men. Its probably a bad concurrance. Its a potent neurotoxin causing brain damage. Bullying is a manifestation of brain damage. This occurs from a backup of neurological impulses. Anything new or different, looks thoughts and ideas etc... brings on irritibility as electrical impulses in the brain try to speed up but get backed up instead. People with brain damage often are loud bullues who expect the world to conform to them and their views not the other way around. Lead another potent neurotoxin was coming into use during old testament times also. Bronze cooking pots contained Lead and clay vessels were Lead glazed. Amulets were frequently Lead also. Later on in Roman times, Lead acetate was put in wine. It was likly used earlier possibly in Persia. Within one generation a Roman writer lamented you couldnt get unadultered wine. Lead may be important in the picture of relegions growth in history because damage to the temporal and limbic system from lead causes religious feelings. The difference between a cult and a church may be Lead administration. Some churches today still put acidic wine in special metal lined vessels overnight to "sanctify" it. Wine will rapidly leach metals like lead out of any vessel its put into. The American bible belt in the South East also happens to corrospond to the same area as the cotton belt. Lead arsinate that was used as a pesticide to fight the cotton boll weevil is still in the soils in that area to this day. Food grown on that soil can accumulate high levels of lead. The profile of lead damage can include religiosity and conduct disorder- a bizzare mix! Maybe those people really need to be in church on Sunday! Bullying and conservative thinking can be part of the behavioral mix too. Bullying can be a great way to gain a following by using mutual hate tactics as a tool. Any minority, different or foreign group in a community will be fair game. The main source of Lead poisoning now are the fumes given off by shooting a gun. Lead was in gasoline until the late 1980. The crime rate reduction since that time correlates almost exactly with the reduction in blood lead levels. Unfortunatly the brain damage from gasoline lead exposure remains. Pesticides, PFOA, Manganese, Viagra and other drugs etc... can cause brain damage also. Beer contains chemicals that can increase violence from reduced brain hormones too. Foods especially processed, aged and fermented foods can have an effect on anger levels due to tyramine. Differences have always existed but intolerance is actually something that is relatively new.

[@patbrumph6769]

The importance of sex is solidly founded in the role of women as chattel. The earliest role of women in society was to provide men with sexual pleasure and offspring, and the possession of women had to be defended--frequently with violence. A real man was someone who could defend his possession of women or in modern terms "defend his women". A man's power was defined largely by his ability to control, accumulate, and defend his ownership of women. Women and sex were essentially the same thing. The social, moral, and legal concepts of primitive life based on the possession of women (sex). So it is not surprising that in the development of religion, sex played a dominant role, and women themselves were held in a subordinate position to men as mere chattel. Those values have come down to us in these modern days, and explain why sex is emphasized in morality more than stealing, lying, and murder. Sex defines morality, even above the defense of the religious institutions themselves.

Don't forget that in that narrative, God chose Mary. The story of Jesus begins with her. Furthermore, the risen Jesus is first revealed to women, and it is the men who don't believe them when they report what they have seen.

[@mpress469]

@@blazinchalice Yes, well perceived. It may also be that the reason for such a narrative imbalance is to make up for the timeless spiritual practice which has always been matriarchal (gender aside) at its spiritual core. This can begin with a fundamental understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God). Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle. As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8).

I really wish I could agree with the speaker because after 67 years in this world, I have not been able to bring my life into alignment with the teachings of Christ.

[@freedem41]

The issues with sex are far older and deeper than you explain. Given the "blue sky" thinking of philosophers around the world, an easy divide to arrive at is between a chaotic world they live in and an ideal they imagine they came from. Starting from there, those drives that can be connected to a body part are assigned to "this world" and those where no body-specific connection can be imagined are considered more "spiritual". Thus as you can die from not eating or drinking you will not die from a lack of sex. Further if sex is consuming your attention there is not much room for a lot else. As beyond personal enjoyment, children are the only other result, then sex in seeking children is the only "legitimate" result and any other sex is just indulgence. It is not unless one deeply observes animals behavior in the wild, that there is any appreciation of how much our drives and ideas of "spiritual" are as much inherited as it is among our animal cousins. Particularly with attention to breeding there are many paths fairly fixed in most species, however, while while fixed behavior in animals is considered "advanced" the species closest to the foundation of the group do not have "none of the advanced behavior" but all of them expressed randomly. In humans what is called "primitive" in all other animals is considered our most "advanced" case as we are free to choose among possibilities, but that is not from a blank slate but a choice among specifics each of which has been documented as specific in several species. It is common among many bird species to find a life partner such as many seabirds (some same sex raising orphans) and never forming a second relationship. But there are also others like the birds of paradise that take up with a different partner in each season, and still others like horses or elephants that the male takes up the the herd of females that are the social base, or the sea lions that the females are attracted to the stretch of beach, and the males that fight to control the best stretch. Observing carefully you can see all of these playing out in humans even as the philosophers find pair bonding to be the most stable.

Yashua never said lust over a woman is sin. The point was looking at married woman with lust is to Covet which is the Torah and Decalogue/ten commandments. Exodus 20: 1-17 where God speaks to Israel via Moses. Exodus 20: 17 brings up Thy shall not covet your neighbor's wife. the problem is coveting, not lust that Jesus is addressing. Deutoronomy is basically moses talking, but God isn't telling him what to say. Basically, Dueteronomy is Moses reminding them of what God expects.Duetero means second. So Dueteronomy is second law or repeated law coming from only Moses to prepare the Israel nation that is allowed to enter the land promised by God to enter. So in Deuteronomy 24:1-4 this law is Moses' because it is him allowing it not God. Moses is speaking himself: Not God to Israel via Moses, but just Moses to Israel.

The wise ancients understood the power of sex...that its meant to be a sacred experience between a husband and wife and not abused or taken for granted.

@@AndrewHorezga Nobody is “the maker of sex.” Sexual reproduction evolved and continues to evolve. Evolution has no “purpose.” Sexual reproduction has “effects” but not purpose.

The seven sins idea even sound like they would have come from monastic life, so that's interesting to find out they weren't from Jesus.

"To The Pure All Things Are Pure" - Jesus If you view sex as sinful or wicked or dirty it's because your mind has been defiled. To the unpure, all things are unpure. You see, when Adam and Eve partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, it seemed to expand their minds and alter their consciousness in a way that now we humans label things as either "good" or "bad". Things of themselves are neither good or bad but it's about ones Perception. What may be a sin to others may not be a sin for you. We are free to do all things but just because we can do everything doesn't mean everything is good for us or even benefial. Do not become a slave to sin or various passions because if left unchecked, they can ruin your Life!! So its like Jesus said, that To The Pure All Things are Pure!!
