Why is sex such a sin?

[Idolfan]

Because of the possessiveness attributed to it by the human ego. That's why. Either that or it can become an obsession and idolatry. I believe that all of God's commands have purposes. Purposes for the most part to lessen the hold of the ego and let us rejoice in the Spirit. This message is absolutely blooming in scripture and as far as I've searched it's the most logical conclusion. However, to a person who is not possessive about sex, does not obsess over it, does not abuse women but sees it as casual, where is the sin? I can't see it. 'Unfallen' cultures living in remote locations around the world (not affected by the transformation of the ego in the Old World) have society which actively SHUN all but one of the seven deadly sins BY THEIR OWN NATURE. But when it comes down to lust... the sexual freedom is amazing. Many missionaries have been to such places and come back recognising that these people truly are void of possessiveness and other psychological discord brought about by the Fall. They are innocent of sex because they feel no shame in it. NO shame. This is how the societies of people are expected to turn out if we follow Jesus... except for fornication. What is wrong? God's commands can also be relative to the people. We know this from the alteration of Old Testament laws, as well as common sense of neurology and the psyche (ok, it's uncommon sense, but it's still science and empathy). So, what I propose is this. Fornication is a sin because of how the human psyche RESPONDS to it... not because it is OBJECTIVELY immoral. The way I see it is that sexual freedom should be a peacemaker in human societies. I have no idea why it is a sin outside of marrige. I do not understand why simple needs of the flesh and the sanctity of marrige are related, EXCEPT by the human ego for possessiveness of women. THAT is the real sin. Fornication still should be a sin I reckon looking at the effect it can have on people, but my question is do you reckon that in the future once the 'second wave' of psyche transformation comes to a close - once the human ego has died down, it might become acceptable. Dare I say to the Lord? Please tell me if I am missing something. I know I am pretty damn perverted but I see nothing other than the ego causing problems. Once the ego is collectively lessened, where is the sin in sex? Sexual repression leads to more problems than it's worth! Please ask on any point which you want me to elaborate. We KNOW (K - N - O - W) that it is POSSIBLE for peaceful (and in most ways righteous) to embrace sexual freedom. So who are we to say it will not be restored as an accepted pleasure (like it is in our fantasies)? I can't imagine a heaven without sex. Even if I was a child. - Ryan
