Um, well.

I can think of a few people on my list who will think this is the best thing to happen to Christianity in a long, long time. There are probably others who will be very disturbed by it.

This link is not particularly work-appropriate, though there isn't much that's actually unsafe about it.

I must think on this for a bit. I am at once appalled and intrigued. Leaning heavily toward intrigued as I read the qualifications.

I think my brain just melted.

"Fisting and God's Will" - NEW! uhhhhh. Wow! I am bereft of words.

[sassy-fae.livejournal.com]

I was able to keep a straight face until I saw that one listed at the bottom and just had to laugh! I'm torn between thinking it's a serious site or an elaborate bit of silliness, not unheard of on the internets (http://web.archive.org/web/20060531175151/http://www.abstinenceonly.com/) :) (unfortunately the original site seems to have disappeared, but it's been preserved for posterity courtesy of the Wayback Machine :)

Do you have a ladder I can borrow? I think my eyebrows are stuck to the ceiling.

Wow! Now there's a variety of scriptural interpretation I have never come across before... on the one hand, nice to see an embracement of sex and the role it can play in a vital and committed relationship. Some of it...seems pretty out there in terms of what they present as Biblical interpretation! Seems like the Bible is one big hotbed of carnality, LOL!!

You know, the book Song of Solomon spent centuries on the Catholic Church's list of banned books - and it's IN THE BIBLE. Since it's basically erotic poetry, the Pope thought regular people shouldn't start thinking sex was, you know, fun or anything. :)

I think this is funny ! I'm gonna read it later. Thanks !

whoa... I didn't even read the porn on through but I got the jist of it. That threesome article is just... twisted.
I once heard someone say, "If you look for a booger hard enough, you'll find it".

It looks like this is some dude trying to justify sexual things by twisting around the words of the Bible however he can to meet his needs.

Anyways, interesting...

As mentioned above, the Song of Solomon is a book of the Bible - and, essentially, it's erotic poetry. Read it sometime with an eye for innuendo. It will totally rock your world.

I think the "twisting of words" most people are referring to here isn't in that particular article, but others, such as "Oral Sex & Christianity". Like this:

Aside from swallowing semen as a measure to prevent the waste and spillage of seed, ingesting ejaculate can have spiritual benefits, as we will see. Although the Old Testament makes reference to the bitterness of semen (And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water. [Numbers 5:24]), the New Testament casts the act of consuming ejaculate in a much more affirming light, as in the following passage, where Jesus speaks to the woman of Samaria about the gift of “living water”:

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, "Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." 11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?...15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water." 16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come back." (John 4:10-16)

“Living water” in this context refers to semen, which literally is the liquid of life. As Christ indicates, drinking of the “living water” provides a spiritual replenishment for the soul. When the woman asks Jesus where she can get this “water”, he tells her to fetch her husband, clearly with the intention of instructing her on how to fellate him and swallow his semen.

CLEARLY Jesus was going to show her how to give a blowjob. o_O

The idea of Christian centered porn is intriguing, as you said. Personally I'm not sure as to go as far as PORN (seems to me that would set one up quite nicely to lust after someone other than a spouse), but as you said, Song of Solomon is essentially erotic poetry. The people/person/whatever who run that website, though, are not the people to do it. Their interpretations of scripture are more than a little questionable, I think.

I can't believe the site is serious, if only because of the "Fisting and God's Will" article.

I *thought* someone told me in the past that it was satire, but I'm not sure.

[jadedissola.livejournal.com]

I honestly thought nothing could faze me anymore, but the fisting article did me in.

It has to be satire. I refuse to believe anything else. (If it isn't satire, please don't tell me. I may not be Christian any longer, but I really don't need the few good memories I have of church tainted by the fist of God...)

[ghostwes.livejournal.com]

Now that is a great icon. I bow before you.

[jadedissola.livejournal.com]

I wish I could take credit, but I "stole" it from someone who stole it from someone else. It just pops up all over lj.

[ghostwes.livejournal.com]

Ah, well... in that case, I'm stealing it too!

[toad-hall.livejournal.com]

ok, i started snickering almost immediately, but when I saw "threesomes within the..." it was full belly laughs for me.

[sassy-fae.livejournal.com]

*laughs my head off*

As with many others, the title of the fisting article made me think satire.

It reminded me of the site I mentioned on 'mama's post, with these two "helpful visuals" that made Ian and I laugh for months:
