Why does god say "No Sex" during prayer?
#34
RE: Why does god say "No Sex" during prayer?
Actually I heard from Robert Price that 1 Corinthians 7:5 actually concerned sexless marriages which were common in the early church. Price argued this verse was likely a later insertion in order to have Paul condemn this practice. Earliest Christianity if you can call it that, was quite different to "Orthodox" Christianity which became dominant later on. The later Gnostics in a lot of ways were closer to the earliest Christianity than what became "Orthodoxy".

One of the beliefs which both earliest Christianity and the Gnostics shared in common, was the view that sex was a thing of the corrupted material "flesh" and celibacy was a thing of the pure "spirit".
