Cheap Billboard

[Biblereader]

A church has lowered itself to attract more members, by putting up a billboard that cheapens
the privacy and holiness of matrimonial marriage. I'm sure most of you won't see how it
is unGodly, nevertheless, it is wrong.
The billboard does NOT abstain from the very appearance of evil, for one.

I think the billboard is unbiblical, and it appeals to the flesh.
Sex, even between husband and wife, according to GOD, is private.

To put this sex ad up, which is just an advertising trick to shock and get
people to look, which is a cheap trick, is making churches like those, look
even more like a circus show.

I can't believe they're rationalizing this gimmick by hiding behind the holy Word of God.
JUST TO INCREASE THEIR MEMBERSHIP, which boils down to getting more
money. They've fallen into the devil's trap, of loving money.
They should be ashamed for resorting to such a cheap trick. This breaks down the
armor of God, and weakens the Christian.

Of course, the Christian of today is so FAR from where they should be, that they will see nothing wrong with this billboard. I expect to see no one in here seeing the shame in this billboard.

Heres a billboard for them...

Matthew 18:8-9

8 “If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.

Look at this, this is where this nasty pastor got the idea, and, it reeks of a porn film, in it's presentation, http://www.mybestsexlife.com/

The churches of today are watered down, and lukewarm. Where is the fire and brimstone preacher?
Where is the true prophet of GOD?

Sex, even between husband and wife, according to GOD, is private.

I would be interested to know the basis for this statement. I think that, surprisingly enough, the church has an "interest" (and I mean this in an edifying, and not titillating sense) in the sex lives even between husband and wife. In other words, there is a sense in which the sex life of a married couple is indeed a "church" matter.

Consider this from 1 Corinthians 6:

15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

I would add that I think that in a real sense "we" - the church - in turn constitute the "body of Christ". From Romans 12:

4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others

I suspect that the church still gets its ideas about sexuality from the "world". We just package them differently. Instead of teaching our young people about the sacramental nature of sexual intercourse and that every sex act fundamentally influences the entire body of the church, we tell them "wait until you are married" (that part is good, of course) ...."and then you can have the same kind of sex that the rest of the world is having" (that part is, of course, bad).

Please search your KJV bible, if you have a copy.
Look up topics like, marriage, holiness, purity, abstaining from the very appearance of evil,
those topics.

Tell me if you find anything that tells you about the privacy of marriage.

In all fairness, that is really not my task to perform. I have provided texts that strongly imply that the church has a legitimate interest in the sex lives of its married members, precisely because of the nature of the church as Paul expounds it. If you believe that there are others texts that show otherwise, by all means provide them.
