Sex is for Married Couple

In a letter to Straits Times Forum published on Saturday 18th September 2010, Adam Leo Isidore Tan wrote, "sex is an act of intimacy between two lovers; a profound expression of love."

This is the typical thinking of the world - sex is for two lovers. No, this is wrong. According to the Bible, sex is for married couple. Because of the perverse definition of marriage today, I must now qualify, sex is for married couple of different sex.

All sex outside marriage is sin. However, due to the hardness of men's heart, God has to regulate irregular sexual acts, such as concubines and sex between unmarried couples in Moses's Law. God also regulates divorces. However there is still a limit. Adultery and sodomy are punishable by death.

Sex always has a moral dimension. To ignore that in any sex education will bring about immorality and corruption of the society.
