The Old Testament says this about human creation (I do not trust the New Testament because I think it was and still is a political document that often has been misinterpreted to feed individuals addicted of power and or greed):

Genesis 1:27 ESV

So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Genesis 2:7 ESV

Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

Genesis 1:28 ESV

And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Jeffery Poor asks, “What does the Bible say about sex? It’s one of the most searched for and sought after questions on the internet. Yet despite the interest much of what you will find in your searches is based more out of opinion and not the Bible. So, I want to take a look at sex in the Bible and see what it really says and means for us today.”

If sex was a sin, why did God, if he really made humans as Genesis says, reward those who have lots of sex with a Biblical flood of natural feel-good hormones? I think if God thought sex was sinful, He would have made it painful, agony.

“The human body releases powerful hormones in the brains of men and women during sexual activity, including the neurohormones oxytocin and vasopressin.  Women are more sensitive to the effect of oxytocin, a hormone that is also found to be a bonding hormone released during childbirth and nursing. During sexual activity, as oxytocin is released, it “acts as emotional super glue between partners”. Men, on the other hand, are more affected by vasopressin, which similarly “helps a man bond to his partner and instills a protective instinct toward his partner and children”. — Options Health

Still, God did frown on rape while never mentioning abortion was a sin in the Old Testament.

Again, from the Old Testament: Deuteronomy 22:28-29 ESV:

“If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.”

“What the Bible actually says about Abortion may surprise you.” — The Conversation

“Abortions were known and practiced in biblical times, although the methods differed significantly from modern ones. The second-century Greek physician Soranus, for example, recommended fasting, bloodletting, vigorous jumping and carrying heavy loads as ways to end a pregnancy.

“Soranus’ treatise on gynecology acknowledged different schools of thought on the topic. Some medical practitioners forbade the use of any abortive methods. Others permitted them, but not in cases in which they were intended to cover up an adulterous liaison or simply to preserve the mother’s good looks.

“In other words, the Bible was written in a world in which abortion was practiced and viewed with nuance. Yet the Hebrew and Greek equivalents of the word “abortion” do not appear in either the Old or New Testament of the Bible. That is, the topic simply is not directly mentioned.”

So, who is responsible for sex becoming a sin? It wasn’t God. It wasn’t Jesus Christ.

The guilty party was Saint Augustine a few centuries after the Jew Jesus Christ was crucified by the Romans. Jesus Christ was never a Christian. He was always a Jew.

Augustine (354 AD – 430 AD) thought “our shame at being seen by third parties when having sex is simply a consequence of the disobedience of lust and the male organ to the will. That is what shames us. The disobedience and the resulting shame are part of the punishment inherited from Adam’s sin.” — Oxford Academic

Then, more than fourteen hundred years later, the Catholic Church made all sexual sins a grave matter. — Catholic theology of sexuality

Even rape didn’t come with serious punishment, according to Deuteronomy in the Old Testament. Well, unless being forced to marry and support the victim until death was punishment for the rapist.

So, if God did make humans in His image, why did He reward having sex with those natural feel good hormones if sex was supposed to be sinful?
