I believe God created it as an expression between a man and woman for the honoring of procreation, if conception occurs. It's not about debate but purpose. As an educator, with youth taught that they are not a vital part of creation, it leaves the purpose of sex in a dim area or abyss of confusion. The bible is clear that we are the temple of God and with that fact, as a teen, you should take joy in knowing that God has a fireplace for sex--the place of marriage, where it can ignite under His divine authority into worship and conception if he so directs. I encourage you to read the Word and not take my "word" for it, but the Master who pieced every wire in us together. I am a 36 year old virgin, yet purified by the blood of Christ daily. We have all sinned and we need to address that fornication breaks his heart--whether in my mind or in my actions. Draw near to truth...that's my encouragement to myself and you.
