What good is it?!? I guess you're missing my point. Let me be more direct: Low sexual activity - see my previous link - leads to low testosterone. Low testosterone leads to a host of bad symptoms and disorders for males including metabolic syndrome (Syndrome X), heart disease, depression, brain dysfunction, etc. Here's a nice summary of why you should do everything you can to keep your testosterone up: http://www.peaktestosterone.com/Symptoms.htm I really think you should reconsider this very ugly side of gnosticism. Besides, who wants stones in their prostate?!?
You are making sex out to be like food. Very well then, let us say that it is better to have a regular and/or regulated sex existence than it is to "burn"...as Postle Paul might suggest. Likewise, let us say it is better to have a regular and/or regulated food intake existence than to go hungry. Don't forget. I was married and ate lot's of food before my resurrection. Still, neither of these are necessary to those who are resurrected. The resurrected may eat food with his brothers, but he does not need it. The questions is, can abstinence from food or sex help you resurrect? Can going hungry teach you that you do not need food? If you are hungry, obviously, you have not yet learned you don't need food. So the answer is no. On the other hand, if you stopped eating and discovered it has no adverse effect upon you, then perhaps you have finally learned that the Son of God needs nothing. If you stop having sex and it bothers you, or adversely affects your health, then you have not yet learned it has no value. If you stop before you learn you do not need it, it will only teach you that you need sex. So this can backfire. Therefore, behavior such as abstinence is not a learning tool...and also not a very good teaching tool. You must train your mind to the truth regardless of what your current behavior indicates is true. When the mind resurrects to the truth, your freedom will be obvious. While you think you need food, you are not "free". While you think you need sex, you are also not free. The truth will set you free. Meanwhile, behave as you think you must to assist the body until the mind that enlivens the body learns what it does and does not need. You may behave one way, while you are training your mind another way...a better way. The fact is, the Son of God needs nothing. He is free. An erection indicates you need something. But you need it only because you value it. You can have an erection while you reevaluate it. It's behavior will be determined by your current value. When it has no value, and when nothing else in the world has any value except to set you free, your resurrection is nigh. Jesus
Catholic priests are not allowed to have sex. I would not be considered a very good scholar if I insisted that the Catholic Church was Gnostic because of this. Likewise, you lose credibility when you insist on making my teachings the same as something that is different. You can do better than this if you are preferring a dialogue. What I am teaching is not the same as the gnostic category of thought. Granted, it is closer to that line of thought than Paul's version of my original message 2000 years ago. But entering the kingdom of God is like threading a needle. Close does not count except in foreplay. You have yet to earn a congratulatory cigar for your scholarly efforts at distinguishing what I actually taught, from what is taught in my name, or what is taught using similar terminology. What I taught 2000 years ago, eye had not seen, nor ear had heard before. Likewise, what I am dialoguing with you about now your ears have not heard before. So such comparisons do not really serve you all that well as yet. Please dialogue carefully. Jesus
Excellent suggestion.. One of my favorite quotes from Ayn Rand.... "Money demands that you sell not your weakness to man's stupidity but your talent to their reason."
Awesome words my friend.. .. .. Scientific? Take your scientific shit and shove it.. don't be so uptight man.. keep your eye on the prize and ABC.. always... be.. closing.. If you hesitate you masturbate
It's kind of hard to have a dialogue with anyone who is calling himself Jesus and thinks he is Jesus and is correspondingly patronizing... Again, you're ignoring my points, but I'll keep trying. Here's another quote from the same site: http://www.peaktestosterone.com/Prostate.htm "Oh, and thereâs one thing you can do to improve your odds: ejaculate. Men who ejaculate at least five times per week had a 32% lower prostate cancer risk. (Menâs Health 9/05 p 74). So grab the little woman and make love as if your life depended on it." So lack of sex even puts you at risk for prostate cancer and enough sex will lower your risk for prostate cancer. Again, sex is incredibly good for your health and lack of sex is risky at best. And please don't bring up Catholic priests to support your position. I don't think that's going to win you any points on this board. O
