Holier than God

06.27.2007 by Tim Reed

Ingrid over at Slice of Laodicea continues in her quest to be holier than God with this little nugget of terrible theology:

I am going to say publicly that I believe the tidal wave of sex sermon series is due to the prurient interest of both pastors and parishoners.

Actually the “tidal wave of sex sermon series” has a lot more to do with the way the church has taught about sex in the past. It is a restoration of what the Bible actually teaches. The Bible does have a lot to say about sex, unfortunately in the past people like Ingrid made sure only half of what the Bible teaches gets out. The other half, the half that says that sex is a wonderful pleasure shared between married people was somehow, left out. The end result of this terrible methodology has been the impression (by many in the church and especially out of the church) is that sex is at worst, detestable, and at best, tolerated.

That is, of course, a bunch of crap. And thankfully, the church is starting to correct the malfeasance of the past by teaching what the Bible actually teaches about sex.
