Quote: Then the compulsion to mate, in your telling - right or wrong- , is sin.
Mating was God's first commandment to man in Genesis 1:28 - Be fruitful and increase in number.
The problem is our sin - we are unable to follow this directive according to his guidelines.
Quote: If Jesus/Yahweh did not want us to sin, he would not have put Satan in Eden to insure we did and Christians could not call Adam's sin a happy fault and necessary to god's plan.
Simple logic and reason.
There is nothing good about sin. It is not a happy fault.
“Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.” Martin Luther
I don't think the first half of that sentence is an encouragement to sin as much of an indictment. I have to admit his wording is rather wonky - maybe it sounded better hundreds of years ago!
