Full list of Sex in the The Bible

I don't want to give you the wrong impression here. I have nothing against sex. It is included as a highlighted category for the following reason: Bible-believers often complain about sex in library books, television, movies, and art museums. These complaints, when successful, result in censorship. Christians should realize, however, that if any book is removed from the library because of its sexual content, then the Bible should also be removed.

I do object, though, to the Bible's sexual ethics. For example, in Genesis 19 Lot (who is called just and righteous in 2 Peter 2.7-8) gets drunk and impregnates his two virgin daughters. There is no indication that God disapproved of Lot's behavior.

Some of the material in the Bible is filthy by any standard. Yet Ezekiel 23.20 is part of the "pure word of God". (Psalm 12.6, 119.140; Proverbs 30.5)

    Genesis

  1. "And Adam knew his wife; and she conceived." This is the first sexual intercourse mentioned in the Bible.  4:1
  2. "And Cain knew his wife." That's nice, but where the hell did she come from? The Bible doesn't mention any of Cain's sisters. Well, maybe he married his mom. In any case, Cain and the mysterious Mrs. Cain have a son (another blue cigar!). His name is Enoch and he builds a city (population 3). 4:17
  3. "And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son." Way to go Adam! 4:25
  4. "The sons of God came in unto the daughters of men" producing "the mighty men of old, men of renown." 6:2, 4
  5. The "just and righteous" Noah (6:9, 7:1) plants a vineyard, gets drunk, and lies around naked in his tent. His son, Ham, happens to see his father in this condition. When Noah sobers up and hears "what his young son had done unto him" (what did he do besides look at him?), he curses not Ham, who "saw the nakedness of his father," but Ham's son, Canaan. "A servant of servants shall he [Canaan] be unto his brethren." This is a typical case of biblical justice, and is one of many Bible passages that have been used to justify slavery. 9:20-25
  6. "And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him."
    What did Ham do? Did he just look at his naked father or was there something more to it than that? Some commentators have suggested that Ham committed homosexual rape on his drunken father, and that this was why Ham's descendants were eternally punished with slavery. 9:24
  7. Poor Pharaoh couldn't resist the "very fair" Sarai, and he takes her into his harem. 12:15
  8. Sarai is the first of a long line of barren women who were desperate for children. (In the Bible, it is the women who are barren, never the men.) She sends Abram into her handmaid, Hagar, so that she can "obtain children by her." Abram gladly complies. 16:1-4
  9. God establishes his covenant with Abram: "This is my covenant ... every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin." It seems that penises are supremely important to god. 17:10-11
  10. Sarah, who is about 90 years old and has gone through menopause, laughs at God when he tells her that she will have a son. She asks God if she will "have pleasure" with her "Lord" [Abraham], when both are so very old. God assures her that he will return and impregnate her at the appointed time. 18:11-14
  11. The two angels that visit Lot wash their feet, eat, and are sexually irresistible to Sodomites. 19:1-5
  12. Lot refuses to give up his angels to the perverted mob, offering his two "virgin daughters" instead. He tells the bunch of angel rapers to "do unto them [his daughters] as is good in your eyes." This is the same man that is called "just" and "righteous" in 2 Pet.2:7-8. 19:8
  13. God kills everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah. This was because, so say the Christian Right, some homosexuals lived there (See 19:4-5). 19:24-25
  14. Lot and his daughters camp out in a cave for a while. The daughters get their "just and righteous" father drunk, and have sexual intercourse with him, and each conceives and bears a son (wouldn't you know it!). Just another wholesome family values Bible story. 19:30-38
  15. "The Lord visited Sarah" and he "did unto Sarah as he had spoken." And "Sarah conceived and bare Abraham a son." (God-assisted conceptions never result in daughters.) 21:1-2
  16. Abraham makes his servant put his hand under his thigh while swearing to God. Weird. Of course "putting his hand under his thigh" is just a polite euphemism for "holding his testicles in his hand." Come to think of it, maybe it isn't so weird at all -- coming as it does from a god that is completely obsessed with male genitalia. (See Exodus 4:25, Leviticus 15:16-18, 32, and Deuteronomy 23:1) for just a few examples.) I guess it's sort of like swearing on the bible. 24:2-9
  17. "And the damsel was fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her." (Oh boy!) 24:16
  18. Unfortunately the king "looked out a window, and saw, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife." But Isaac grew rich from the lie anyway, just as his father had. 26:8
  19. Jacob is tricked by Laban, the father of Rachel and Leah. Jacob asks for Rachel so that he can "go in unto her." But Laban gives him Leah instead, and Jacob "went in unto her [Leah]" by mistake. Jacob was fooled until morning -- apparently he didn't know who he was going in unto. Finally they worked things out and Jacob got to "go in unto" Rachel, too. 29:21-30
  20. Jacob finally gets to "go in unto" Rachel. He loved Rachel more than Leah. 29:30
  21. "Give me children or else I die." Rachel considers herself worthless if she cannot produce children for her husband. But luckily she has an idea. She says to Jacob, "Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her." She solved the problem the same way as did Sarah (16:2). "And Jacob went in unto her. And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son." (These arrangements rarely produce daughters.) 30:1-4
  22. Leah, not to be outdone, gives Jacob her maid (Zilpah) "to wife." And Zilpah "bare Jacob a son." 30:9
  23. Rachel trades her husband's favors for some mandrakes. And so, when Jacob came home, Leah said: "Thou must come in unto me, for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night." Presumably God, by telling us this edifying story, is teaching us something about sexual ethics. 30:15-16
  24. Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, is "defiled" by a man who seems to love her dearly. Her brothers trick all of the men of the town and kill them (after first having them all circumcised), and then take their wives and children captive. 34:1-31
  25. Judah has casual sex with a Canaanite woman which results in two sons, Er and Onan. 38:2-4
  26. After God killed Er, Judah tells Onan to "go in unto thy brother's wife." But "Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and ... when he went in unto his brother's wife ... he spilled it on the ground.... And the thing which he did displeased the Lord; wherefore he slew him also." This lovely Bible story is seldom read in Sunday School, but it is the basis of many Christian doctrines, including the condemnation of both masturbation and birth control. 38:8-10
  27. After Judah pays Tamar for her services, he is told that she "played the harlot" and "is with child by whoredom." When Judah hears this, he says, "Bring her forth, and let her be burnt." 38:24
  28. Tamar (the widow of Er and Onan, who were killed by God) dresses up as a prostitute and Judah (her father-in-law) propositions her, saying: "Let me come in unto thee .... And he ... came in unto her, and she conceived by him." From this incestuous union, twins (38:27-28) were born (both were boys of course). One of these was Pharez -- an ancestor of Jesus (Lk.3:33). 38:13-18, 27-28)
  29. Joseph is seduced by Potiphar's wife. He rejects her advances, but she claims he "came in unto" her. 39:7-18
  30. Joseph swears by putting his hand under Jacob's thigh -- a euphemism for holding his testicles in his hand. 47:29
  31. "Reuben went and lay with his father's concubine."  35:22, 49:4
  32. Jacob says that Reuben will "not excel" because he "went up to [his] father's couch [had sex with his father's wife]." (see 35:22) 49:4

    33. Exodus

  33. God decides to kill Moses because his son had not yet been circumcised. Luckily for Moses, his Egyptian wife Zipporah "took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. So he [God] let him go." This story shows the importance of penises to God, and his hatred of foreskins. 4:24
  34. Moses, like a coach giving instructions to the team before the big game, tells the men to "come not at your wives" before he goes up to Mt. Sinai. 19:15
  35. God tells the priests not to go up the steps to the altar "that thy nakedness not be discovered thereon." (Skirts on stairs are a problem.) 20:26
  36. "Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death." Is it really necessary to kill such people? Couldn't we just send them to counseling or something? 22:19
  37. Aaron makes a golden calf and tells the people to take off their clothes and dance around naked. God then punishes them mercilessly for following their divinely appointed religious leader. 32:1-35
  38. Aaron makes the people take off all their clothes and dance naked around his golden calf. 32:25
  39. "Their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods." God always blames the women; it is they who "go a whoring" and then "make" the men "go a whoring." 34:16

    40. Leviticus

  40. "Or if he touch the uncleanness of man ... he shall be guilty."
    If you touch "the uncleanness of man" (?!) you'll be guilty. 5:3
  41. Long, tiresome, and disgusting instructions regarding the treatment of men who have a "running issue" out of their "flesh." Very enlightening. "And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean...." 15:1-15
  42. "Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean." 15:4
  43. "And whosoever toucheth his bed shall ... be unclean until the even." 15:5
  44. "And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat ... shall ... be unclean until the even." 15:6
  45. "And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall ... be unclean until the even." 15:7
  46. "And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall ... be unclean until the even." 15:8
  47. "And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean." 15:9
  48. "And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even." 15:10
  49. "And whomsoever he toucheth ... shall ... be unclean until the even." 15:11
  50. "And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth ... shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water." 15:12
  51. "He that hath an issue ... shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing ... and shall be clean." 15:13
  52. "If any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall ... be unclean until the even." 15:16
  53. "And every garment ... whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be ... unclean until the even." 15:17
  54. "The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even." 15:18
  55. "If any man's seed of copulation go out from him...." (God's law for wet dreams)
    This passage tells you what to do if you get your "seed of copulation" on yourself, your clothes, or your partner. Thank God this is in the Bible. 15:16-18, 32
  56. "This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him ... And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean." 15:32-33
  57. Don't "uncover the nakedness" of any of your relatives or neighbors. Just ask them to keep their clothes on while you are around. 18:6-18, 20

    Notice that in this long list of relatives that you may not have sex with, there is one relative that is not mentioned -- your daughter. Nowhere in this list, or anywhere else in the bible, is sex between a man and his daughter (or, more generally, between parent and child) forbidden. 18:6-18, 20

  58. "Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is apart for her uncleanness," Don't even look at a menstruating woman. 18:19
  59. Don't "lie with any beast." You probably weren't planning on doing this, but now you know just in case you get the urge sometime. 18:23
  60. Don't "go a whoring" after Molech or "commit adultery with him." (Don't you love it when God talks dirty?) 20:5
  61. Stay away from people with familiar spirits and don't "go a whoring" after them either. 20:6
  62. If a man has sex with his father's wife, kill them both. 20:11
  63. If a man has sex with his daughter in law, kill them both. 20:12
  64. If a man has sex with another man, kill them both. 20:13
  65. If you "lie" with your wife and your mother-in-law (now that sounds fun!), all three of your must be burned to death. 20:14
  66. If a man or woman "lie with a beast" both the person and the poor animal are to be killed. 20:15-16
  67. Don't have sex with your sister, uncle's wife, or your brother's wife -- and tell them to wear clothes whenever you're around. 20:17, 19-21
  68. If a man has sex with a menstruating woman, they both "shall be cut off from among their people." 20:18
  69. "Neither shall he [the priest] profane his seed among his people." (His seed is holy.) 21:15
  70. A man with damaged testicles must not "come nigh to offer the bread of his God." 21:20
  71. A man who is unclean, or is a leper, or has a "running issue", or "whose seed goeth from him", or who touches any dead or "creeping thing" ... "shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean." 22:3-5

    72. Numbers

  72. After the people "commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab," Moses has them all killed. Then God tells Moses to hang their dead bodies up in front of him; God says that this will satisfy him. 25:1-5
  73. Under God's direction, Moses' army defeats the Midianites. They kill all the adult males, but take the women and children captive. When Moses learns that they left some live, he angrily says: "Have you saved all the women alive? Kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." So they went back and did as Moses (and presumably God) instructed, killing everyone except for the virgins. In this way they got 32,000 virgins -- Wow! (Even God gets some of the booty -- including the virgins.) 31:1-54

    74. Deuteronomy

  74. If you see a pretty woman among the captives and would like her for a wife, then just bring her home and "go in unto her." Later, if you decide you don't like her, you can "let her go." 21:11-14
  75. If a man marries, then decides that he hates his wife, he can claim she wasn't a virgin when they were married. If her father can't produce the "tokens of her virginity" (bloody sheets), then the woman is to be stoned to death at her father's doorstep. 22:13-21
  76. "If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die." 22:22
  77. If a betrothed virgin is raped in the city and doesn't cry out loud enough, then "the men of the city shall stone her to death." 22:23-24
  78. If a woman is raped in the country, then only the man shall die (since there was no one to hear her if she cried out.) 22:25
  79. If a man rapes an unbetrothed virgin, he must pay her father 50 shekels of silver and then marry her. 22:28
  80. "A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt." 22:30
  81. You can't go to church if your testicles are damaged or your penis has been cut off. 23:1
  82. God lays down the law regarding wet dreams. "If there be among you any man that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night ..." 23:10
  83. If a man dies without having a child, his brother shall "go in unto" his dead brother's wife -- whether she likes him or not, and whether she wants to or not. If he refuses, the dead man's wife is to loosen his shoe and spit in his face. 25:5-10
  84. If two men fight and the wife of one grabs the "secrets" of the other, "then thou shalt cut off her hand" and "thine eye shall not pity her." 25:11-12
  85. "Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife, because he uncovereth his father's skirt." (Why?) 27:20
  86. "Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast: and all the people shall say, Amen." 27:21
  87. "Cursed be he that lieth with his sister ... And all the people shall say, Amen." 27:22
  88. "Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law: and all the people shall say, Amen." 27:23
  89. "Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her." 28:30

    90. Joshua

  90. Joshua's spies visit and "came unto" a prostitute in Jericho. They weren't very discreet about it either, since the King of Jericho soon found out about it. The king's officials ask Rahab to "bring forth the men that are come to thee." 2:1-4

    91. Judges

  91. A man of God came unto me [Samson's mom]."
    She didn't ask him any questions and he didn't tell her his name. 13:6
  92. "The angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her."
    Husbands are never around when angels come unto women and make them pregnant. 13:9
  93. "Samson ... saw a woman ... of the daughters of the Philistines ... And Samson said unto his father ... Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well." 14:1-3
  94. After ripping up the lion, Samson went to visit the Philistine woman that he fell in lust with earlier. "And she pleased Samson well." 14:7
  95. "If ye had not plowed with my heifer"
    Samson called his wife a heifer and accuses the Philistines of having sex with her. 14:18
  96. Samson wants to have sex with his wife in the bedroom, but his father-in-law won't let him. 15:1
  97. "Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her." 16:1
  98. "Afterward ... he loved a woman ... whose name was Delilah." 16:4
  99. After taking in a traveling Levite, the host offers his virgin daughter and his guest's concubine to a mob of perverts (who want to have sex with his guest). The mob refuses the daughter, but accepts the concubine and they "abuse her all night." The next morning she crawls back to the doorstep and dies. The Levite puts her dead body on an ass and takes her home. Then he chops her body up into twelve pieces and sends them to each of the twelve tribes of Israel. 19:22-30

    100. Ruth

  100. Naomi (Ruth's mother-in-law) advises Ruth as to how to best seduce Boaz. She tells her to wait until he is a bit drunk and has fallen asleep. Then "go in and uncover his feet [a biblical euphemism for male genitals], and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what to do." 3:3-4
  101. Ruth does as Naomi says, and then at midnight Boaz wakes up and finds Ruth "at his feet." He asks who she is, and she says, "I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore your skirt over thine handmaid." 3:7-9
  102. Boaz seems agreeable to the suggestion and says, "I will do thee all that thou requirest." Next he asks her to "Tarry this night ... lie down until the morning." so Ruth "lay at his feet until morning." 3:11-14
  103. Boaz "went in unto" Ruth and "the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son." 4:13

    104. 1 Samuel

  104. "And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the Lord remembered her." (He probably said something like, "Oh yeah, she's the one whose womb I shut up.") And Hannah conceived and "bare a son [Oh boy, another boy!], and called his name Samuel." 1:19-20
  105. "And the Lord visited Hannah [again], so that she conceived." Did he get her pregnant in the usual way? 2:21
  106. The sons of Eli had sex with women "at the door of the tabernacle." 2:22
  107. David kills 200 Philistines and brings their foreskins to Saul to buy his first wife (Saul's daughter Michal). Saul had only asked for 100 foreskins, but David was feeling generous. 18:25-27
  108. The priest tells David that he and his men can eat the "hallowed" bread if "they have kept themselves at least from women." David assures the priest that they have and that "the vessels of the young men are holy." So it'd be OK for them to eat the holy bread. 21:4-5

    109. 2 Samuel

  109. David says, "deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines." Well, he actually paid with two hundred foreskins (see 1 Samuel 18:27). 3:14
  110. King David dances nearly naked in front of God and everybody. When Michal criticizes him for exposing himself, God punishes her by having "no child unto the day of her death." Although 21:8 says that she had five sons (which were sacrificed to God by David to stop God from starving people to death). 6:14-23
  111. David sees a woman (Bathsheba) bathing and likes what he sees. so he sends for her and commits adultery with her "for she was purified from her uncleanness." She conceives and bears a son (of course). 11:2-5
  112. God gave the wives of King Saul to David. 12:7-8
  113. God is angry at David for having Uriah killed. As a punishment, he will have David's wives raped by his neighbor while everyone else watches. It turns out that the "neighbor" that God sends to do his dirty work is David's own son, Absalom (16:22). 12:11-12
  114. After Bathsheba's baby is killed by God, David comforts her by going "in unto her." She conceives and bears another son (Solomon). 12:24
  115. Ammon (David's son) says to his half-sister Tamar, "Come lie with me, my sister." But she resists, so he rapes her and then sends her away. Tamar, knowing that she now belongs to him (since she was a virgin), expects him to marry her, but he refuses. 13:1-22
  116. Absalom "went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel." This was according the God's plan as announced in 12:11-12. 16:21-22
  117. To punish his ten concubines for being raped by his son, Absalom (See 16:21-22), David refuses to ever again have sex with them and forces them to "keep house" for the rest of their lives. 20:3

    118. 1 Kings

  118. Old King David tries to get some heat by having a beautiful virgin minister unto him. 1:1-4
  119. Adonijah (Solomon's half-brother) sends Bathsheba (Solomon's mother) to ask King Solomon to let Adonijah have sex with his David's concubine Abishag. But Solomon had him murdered instead. 2:13-25
  120. "King Solomon loved many strange women."
    God didn't mind the number so much; it was their "strangeness" that he objected to. 11:1
  121. "He [Solomon] had seven hundred wives ... and three hundred concubines." 11:3
  122. Rehoboam's young men told him say the following words to the people: "My little finger will be thicker than my father's penis." 12:10

    123. 1 Chronicles

  123. "Keturah, Abraham's concubine" 1:23
  124. "And Tamar his daughter in law bore him Pharez...." See Genesis 38 for all the sordid details. 2:4

    125. 2 Chronicles

  125. Jeroham "caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication." 21:11

    126. Esther

  126. King Ahasuerus throws a party and encourages his guests to drink to excess. Then, when they are all drunk, he orders Queen Vashti to show her stuff before him and his guests. 1:7-11
  127. "All the fair young virgins" throughout the kingdom are brought before the king, and the one that "pleaseth" the king the most will replace Vashti. 2:2-4
  128. When it was Esther turn to "go in unto the king," she pleases the king the most. So, having won the sex contest, she is made queen in Vashti's place. 2:8-9, 12-17
  129. Since women are inherently dirty, the woman that "pleased the king" the most must be "purified" for twelve months before she can be made queen. 2:9-12

    130. Psalms

  130. "At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." 16:11
  131. The author of this psalm allegedly is David. If so, then it's not surprising that his "loins" would be "filled with a loathsome disease." After all, his promiscuity was legendary, and he probably didn't practice safe sex. 38:5, 7
  132. "I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me."
    Women, sex, and babies are all evil to God. 51:5

    133. Proverbs

  133. "Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times." 5:18
  134. "Come let us take our fill of love until the morning." 7:18
  135. One of the four "wonderful" things is "the way of a man with a maid." 30:18-19

    136. The Song of Solomon

  136. "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine." A fitting beginning for a pornographic poem. 1:2
  137. "The virgins love thee." 1:3
  138. "We will run after thee ... we will remember thy love more than wine." 1:4
  139. "He shall lie all night betwixt my breasts." 1:13
  140. "I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste." 2:3
  141. "His left hand is under my head and his right hand doth embrace me ... stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please." 2:6-7
  142. "My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice." 2:9
  143. "In the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance ... for ... thy countenance is comely." 2:14
  144. "My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies." 2:16
  145. "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains. 2:17

  222. God (or Hosea?) tells his children that their mother is a whore who is not his wife. He asks them to tell their mother to "put away her whoredoms" and "her adulteries from between her breasts" or he'll "strip her naked ... and slay her with thirst." 2:2-3
  223. God says he "will discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers." 2:10

  231. "There be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." Dangerous words from a guy who recommends cutting of body parts if they cause you to sin (Mt 5:29-30, 18:8-9; Mk 9:43-48). It might make someone castrate himself so that he could be one of the 144,000 male virgins, who alone will make it to heaven (Rev 14:3-4). 19:12
  232. There are no marriages in heaven. (Married people either don't go to heaven or they get divorced after arriving there. Marriages aren't made in heaven; they die there.) 22:23-30
  233. The kingdom of heaven like ten virgins who went to meet their bridegroom. Five had oil for their lamps and five didn't. When the bridegroom was ready for them, only the five well-oiled virgins got to have sex with him on their wedding night. The bridegroom shunned the other five, saying "Get lost. I don't even know you." The moral to the story is this: watch out, you never know when (or with whom) Jesus will come.25:1-13

    236. Luke

  236. Zacharias and Elizabeth were both getting old, too old to have kids. But Zach prayed, so an angel appeared to tell him that God would take care of things for him. God would somehow get Liz pregnant and she'd have a son named John, who would be filled with the Holy Ghost from the moment God, the angel, the Holy Ghost, or Zach (or maybe all of them working together) got his mom pregnant. 1:7-15
  237. Gabriel tells Mary that the Holy Ghost will come upon her and she'll be covered by the power of God, so "the holy thing" that she delivers will be the Son of God. 1:35

    "Which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda."
    Judah "went in unto" his daughter-in-law, Tamar, who was disguised as a prostitute. She conceived and bore Pharez, an ancestor of Jesus. (Gen 38:27-29) It's a good thing it was more than ten generations ago. Otherwise Jesus could not "enter into the congregation of the Lord." (Dt.23:2) 3:33

    238. Romans

  238. Paul explains that "the natural use" of women is to act as sexual objects for the pleasure of men. 1:27

  240. Paul asks if he should "take the members of Christ, and make them members of an harlot?" He further asks, "Know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body?" 6:15-16

  242. Paul wishes that men and woman abstain from sex, but tells them to "come together" to avoid being tempted by Satan. 7:5
  243. Paul, like Jesus and the other New Testament writers, expects the end to come soon. "The time is short." So there's no time for sex or marriage, since the world will be ending soon. 7:29

    244. Galatians

  244. "I would they were even cut off which trouble you." Gosh, that doesn't sound very nice. But I wonder what Paul meant by "cut off". The New Revised Standard Version translates this verse as: "I wish those who unsettle you would castrate themselves!" 5:12

    245. 1 Thessalonians

  245. Every man should know how to possess his penis or his wife (depending on the translation) in a holy way. 4:4

  249. Drinking the wine of fornication. 14:8
  250. The great whore has "committed fornication" with all the kings on earth. Everyone else is "drunk with the wine of her fornication." She sits on a scarlet colored beast with the usual 7 heads and 10 horns. She carries a cup full of the "filthiness of her abominations" and has a big sign on her forehead saying: "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth." You'll know her when you see her. 17:1-5
  251. "All nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her." 18:3
  252. God will send plagues, death, and famine on Babylon, and the kings "who have committed fornication with her" will be sad to see her burn. 18:8-9
  253. The "great whore" corrupted the earth with her fornication. 19:2

    254. 2 Machabees

    The temple was full of the riot and revelry of the Gentiles, and of men lying with lewd women.

    Judith

  258. Raphael said, "I'll show you who the devil can prevail over. It's those who give in to lust like a horse or a mule. When you take her, don't have sex for three days after marrying her. Do nothing but pray with her. On the first night, put the fish on the fire and it'll drive away the devil. On the second night, you'll be admitted to the society of holy patriarchs. And on the third night, you'll have a blessing that will assure you of having many children. Then have sex with her. But not for lust, only to have children." 6:16-22
  259. Tobias prayed, saying, "I didn't marry my sister for lust, but to have children." 8:7-9
