Would you be willing to enter a sexless relationship?

So Christianity isn’t that different from Islam after all, which requires faith in God instead of good works; hence a lot of bad works made in his name.

As a basis of the religion, that belief is all it takes. But as someone wrote, good works should flow from that. Christ gave direction on how to live a good life. He outlined the “Lord’s Prayer” where we ask to be kept from sinning, and say that we will forgive those who sin against us. He set examples for us to follow. And yes there have been a lot of bad works done in what people said was in His name. My husband and I were talking about that today. Christians as a group and as individuals have done horrible brutal things and hopefully were able to repent their bad acts. On the other hand I don’t think confessing your sin, without true regret, wins forgiveness and makes it okay to go out and sin more.

I agree completely.

I've actually been talking to someone for a while now who is asexual, that isn't even a factor for me. Sure, there will be some complications, but that's any relationship, and I know for me that the romantic side of things is far, far more important than the sexual side of things. Not everyone will see it this way though, some will need sex to be a part of their relationship, and that's okay. At the end of the day, for me, I like this girl for who she is, and sex, or lack thereof, doesn't change that.

Maybe we should keep the discussion to asexual marriage. Religion is pretty controversial and there is a forum section for that. I think Arganger mentioned her faith to add backstory, and I did the same. But I think we are going off topic to discuss what the bible says about gays or how God may feel about gays etc. And I apologise for also going off topic.

I could answer any/all questions related to the Bible and homosexuality. The problem is that a truthful answer would be considered offensive to the point that we're not really allowed to discuss it at WP. It has always been a pet peeve of mine that people are allowed to twist the words of the Bible to mean what they think it means when people who hold to a more literal (and I believe correct) interpretation of the Bible aren't even allowed to say as much.

Agreed this belongs in a separate topic in PPR. And I respectfully ask that the matter be dropped. I strongly dislike going to the mods about any controversial topic, even those I feel strongly about or am offended by, but it's offensive to me because it strikes me as Christian-baiting. I do take those kinds of posts up with mods. It's precisely BECAUSE of topics like these I post to L&D instead of PPR.
