The theme: "Sex and Marriage" is broad and complex in gender, number and degree, since it encompasses numerous and controversial historical-cultural studies on marriage relationships between Humans (the human word comes from humus, degraded clay), who were created male and female, in the image and likeness of the Eternal Creator (Gen 1:27). There are different meanings of dysfunctions between Sexuality-Sexualism and Genitality more or less normals, depending of dysfunctions on inherited neuro-hormonal and congenital (which occur during conception and gestation) and cause anomalies and deviations of sexual normality, such as: androgynism (bigenitality), homosexuality, pedophilia, zoophilia, necrophilia, sadism, masochism, etc. The hereditary charge of gene-ethics (bio-psychic-mental), added to the anomalies and deviations, end up marking people with these diversified types of functional sexuality and genitality: genital sex (normal/abnormal); neurohormonal sex (hetero/homo); animal sex (fertile period); virtual sex (psychic-mental); cultural-religious sex (poly/monogamous, celibacy, incest, etc.); male body with female soul and vice versa. There are difficulties in understanding and explaining normal and abnormal sexuality, in light of dilemmas about ethical doctrines and practices religious. Examples: 1) God the Father created the male and female in His own image and likeness. Questions: a) Does God-Father have dual sexuality? b) Adam was created ambivalent: half male and half female? c) Did God make Eve of the female half of Adam? (tzelah is not rib, but, side or half); 2) All Humanity arose from a single couple. Question: Descendants of Adam and Eve, who raised more than 200 sons and daughters (Gen. 5: 4,5), married with one another: brothers with sisters, cousins with cousins, nephews with nieces, grandchildren with granddaughters, etc.? - In light of these and other historical dilemmas, we have difficulty understanding the following biblical examples: a) "Bastard's curse" (Deut. 23:2,3) and laws that prohibit incest, this is, sexual relations between parents and children, between brothers and close relatives; b) Each of the patriarchs of the Old Testament had several women, many lands, many cattle, many slaves, vineyards, olive groves, etc., primarily, Abraham ("father of faith"); King David ("man with the Heart of God"); and his son Solomon (he had a harem of "a thousand women" and begotten "bastard African Jews" by unlawful sexual union with the Queen of Sheba - 1Kings 10 ,11; 2Ch 9). Questions: 1) Should we call the Psalms and Proverbs of "Word of God"?; 2) The Patricarchs and the kings David and Solomon were "capitalists"? (Proverbs 22:2); 3) In the New Testament churches, "believing men" could have several wives? (Note: Answer: yes. Because of the turbulence caused by these "wives" speaking in the services, the Apostle Paul determined that women to remain silent in the Church [1Co 14:34,35]. And because the greatest talk came from the wives of each leader, the situation worsened so much that the Apostle Paul determined something radical: the whole bishop [elder, presbyter] was to be the husband only of one woman [Titus 1:6]. The Apostle Paul, because of particular problems connected with traumatic Sex & Marriage, went so far as to advise men and women not to marry so that they would not suffer and could please and serve more and better the Lord and the holy Cause of the Gospel, as we read in 1Co chap. 7, a biblical text that causes much controversy, and gave rise to the practice of celibacy. Jesus said that there are those who are born and others who become "eunuchs" [Mt 19:12]; 4) Jesus said that there are those who are born eunuchs and others who are made eunuchs and others who become eunuchs (Matt. 19:12); 5) The difficulties and embarrassments that arise during conjugal sexual relations, have causes: a) spiritual: lack of understanding of the divine will on the correct use of sex; b) psychological: distorted psychosexual identity; c) physiological: child education to control the sphincters (urinate and defecate) on the basis of fear and shame. 6) The recommendations of Jesus (Mt 18:8,9); the teachings of Paul (Rom. 8:13; Col. 3:5) and the experience of Jacob (Gen. 32:31-32), indicate divine interventions to stall (Gen. 32:31) and undergo mental-spiritual amputation (Mt 18:8,9)? - In order to better understand and interpret these complex questions about Sex&Marriage, it is necessary to reach socio-cultural and biblical-scientific answers to the following questions: 1) Why and for what did God the Creator give breasts, uterus and hymen for women and penile orgasm for men? (Ecclesiastes 11:9; 12:13,14). 2) Every affective-sexual relationship between man and woman, to be holy and correct, must remain within the original divine pattern: "Grow and multiply" for the constitution of the FAMILY (Eph 3:15), and thus avoid degeneration moral and spiritual sex that leads to messy sexual desire (pleasure for pleasure, orgasm for orgasm) causing domestic violence, separations, abortions and wars (James 4:1-10).
