And in Romans 14, you'll read that "Nothing is unclean of itself." Which means that it's not so much what you do; it's who you hurt by it, and why you do it. So if he considers sex a sin, then for him, it is a sin, because he 'breaks the rules' in his own heart when he does it. |
Like you I cannot understand how sex can be considered sinful. I was raised Christian, and he was raised Muslim. Both of us were taught that sex is only acceptable in marriage. I was able to form my own views, aside from church dogma, and as a result, I live in peace with my sexuality. Appearantly, he agrees with the religious teachings of his youth, but chooses not to abide by them. When I think about how I would feel if I was living in opposition to my values and beliefs, I know that I would feel little self-worth. As a result, I think I need to let him continue to cause himself harm. But I'll be damned if I'm going to be part of his destructive behaviors. lol
