Sexo no casamento: o que a Bíblia ensina sobre intimidade
O que a Bíblia ensina sobre o sexo
A Bíblia não trata o sexo como tabu nem como algo impuro, mas como uma criação boa de Deus feita para o casamento. Na visão bíblica, a relação sexual une marido e mulher em uma só carne, cumprindo o propósito de intimidade, prazer mútuo e continuidade da vida.
No relato da criação, a sexualidade e a capacidade de gerar filhos aparecem abençoadas por Deus antes da entrada do pecado no mundo:
So God-Elōhīm [The Living Word of GOD] created man in his [own] image, in the image of God-Elōhīm [The Messiah Pre-Incarnate] created he him; male and female created he them.
And God-Elōhīm [The Living Word – The Creator] Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) them, and God-Elōhīm [The Living Word] said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.(Genesis 1:27,28)
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to (hold onto; stick to) his wife: and they shall be one flesh.(Genesis 2:24)
Ao tratar do casamento, Jesus retomou exatamente esse texto de Gênesis para mostrar que a união física e espiritual entre o casal foi instituída pelo Criador:
He answered them: "Have you not read that He who made them of old, male and female He created them".
He said: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and cleave (split open; cut open; divide) to his wife and they will become one flesh".
"If so, they are not two but one flesh, and whatever The Creator has joined together man is unable to separate"(Gosel 19:4-6)
O livro de Provérbios também celebra o afeto e a atração física no casamento, apresentando o prazer conjugal como algo legítimo e desejado por Deus:
Let youi fountain be Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous): and rejoice with the wife of youi youth.
[Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy youi at all times; and be youi ravished always with her love.(Mishlei - Proverbs 5:18,19)
A intimidade no casamento
A Escritura define o relacionamento íntimo entre marido e mulher como digno de honra. No casamento, o sexo não é um favor prestado nem uma obrigação unilateral, mas um cuidado mútuo em que ambos compartilham a mesma entrega.
Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God-The Father will judge.(Hebrews 13:4)
Paulo trata dessa reciprocidade em Corinto, orientando que nenhum dos cônjuges use o sexo como ferramenta de controle:
Let the husband render unto the wife sexual dues: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
The wife has not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not power of his own body, but the wife.(1 Corinthians 7:3,4)
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.(1 Corinthians 7:9)
O profeta Malaquias aponta que a aliança conjugal tem valor diante de Deus e visa a preservação da família:
And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue (part that remains, the rest) of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.(Malachi 2:15)
Por envolver o ser humano por inteiro, a união física tem um peso que ultrapassa a biologia. Paulo explica que o corpo do cristão pertence a Cristo, e por isso a sexualidade não pode ser dissociada da vida espiritual:
Know you2f not that your bodies are the members of Moshiach [Messiah]? shall I then take the members of Moshiach [Messiah], and make [them] the members of an prostitute? May it not be.
What? know you2f not that he which is joined to an prostitute is one body? for two, says he, shall be one flesh.
But he that is joined unto the Lord - Kurios is one Spirit [Ruach].(1 Corinthians 6:15-17)
Pureza e limites da sexualidade
Quando o sexo é retirado do contexto da aliança conjugal, perde a proteção e o significado dados por Deus. A Bíblia orienta fugir da imoralidade sexual justamente porque ela atinge a própria integridade de quem a pratica.
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commit fornication sins against his own body.
What? know you2f not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] [which is] in you, which you2f have of God-The Father, and you2f are not your own?
For you2f are bought with a price: therefore glorify God-The Father in your body, and in your Spirit [Ruach], which are God-The Father’s.(1 Corinthians 6:18-20)
For this is the will of God-The Father, [even] your sanctification, that you2f should abstain from fornication:
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
Not in the lust of concupiscence (strong lust; passion), even as the Goyim [Gentiles] which know not God-The Father:(1 Thessalonians 4:3-5)
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becomes saints;(Ephesians 5:3)
Jesus aprofundou esse princípio no Sermão do Monte, ensinando que a fidelidade e o respeito ao outro começam na intenção do olhar e do coração:
"But I say to you that everyone who sees a woman and covets her has already committed adultery with her in his heart".(Gosel 5:28)
As cartas apostólicas reforçam que a vida com Deus exige coerência e abandono de práticas secretas de devassidão:
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in lewdness (sexual indulgence) and wantonness, not in strife and envying.(Romans 13:13)
A fidelidade à aliança do casamento é um dos Dez Mandamentos:
youi shall not commit adultery.(Exodus 20:14)
Tanto na Lei dada a Israel quanto nas orientações de Paulo aos gentios, as Escrituras estabelecem limites morais claros contra práticas que desviam a sexualidade da ordem da criação:
None of you shall approach to any that is near of family to him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
The nakedness of youi father, or the nakedness of youi mother, shall youi not uncover: she [is] youi mother; youi shall not uncover her nakedness.
The nakedness of youi father’s wife shall youi not uncover: it [is] youi father’s nakedness.
The nakedness of youi sister, the daughter of youi father, or daughter of youi mother, [whether she be] born at home, or born abroad, [even] their nakedness youi shall not uncover.
The nakedness of youi son’s daughter, or of youi daughter’s daughter, [even] their nakedness youi shall not uncover: for theirs [is] youi own nakedness.
The nakedness of youi father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of youi father, she [is] youi sister, youi shall not uncover her nakedness.
youi shall not uncover the nakedness of youi father’s sister: she [is] youi father’s near kinswoman.
youi shall not uncover the nakedness of youi mother’s sister: for she [is] youi mother’s near kinswoman.
youi shall not uncover the nakedness of youi father’s brother, youi shall not approach to his wife: she [is] youi aunt.
youi shall not uncover the nakedness of youi daughter in law: she [is] youi son’s wife; youi shall not uncover her nakedness.
youi shall not uncover the nakedness of youi brother’s wife: it [is] youi brother’s nakedness.
youi shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shall youi take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; [for] they [are] her near kinswomen: it [is] wickedness.
Neither shall youi take a wife to her sister, to vex [her], to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life [time].
Also youi shall not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
Moreover youi shall not lie carnally with youi neighbour’s wife, to defile yourself with her.
And youi shall not let any of youi seed pass through [the fire] to Molekh [king], neither shall youi Profane (treat as common; defile) the name of youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
youi shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
Neither shall youi lie with any beast to defile yourself with that: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it [is] confusion.(Leviticus 18:6-23)
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God-The Father into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
For what reason God-The Father also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the tof God-The Father into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) forever. Amen.
For this cause God-The Father gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is inappropriate, and receiving in themselves that recompence (punishment for evil, reward) of their error which was meet.(Romans 1:22-27)
