You are so supportive of the idea, that you can’t even use your real name in your reply. Way to be supportive!!!

PS–the idea is still stupid.

Sounds to me like she needs to read the “Sexperiment” book and actually do the challenge to know what it really is about. I think it’s sarcastic to mention to someone that if she has 3 boys then she knows how to do it and doesn’t need a pastor telling her how. If you actually heard all his sermons you would know he is not telling us HOW TO DO sex and is definitely not giving us details on it either, he’s simply reminding us that God created sex and it should be important to us as much as it was for Him so challenged us to “try it”. It is easy for couples to get busy with kids and work that they do end up neglecting their spouses in that area which is why this topic is very important. If you aren’t yet aware our children know more about sex these days from school…and details that is! So why are we so appalled by a pastor mentioning that “big sex” in the context of marriage is important?? I can guarantee you that 5th graders know more about sex than you would imagine so why not let them hear that it is also important to wait until marriage before having sex?? The bible doesn’t condemn pastors preaching about sex.

I wished pastor Ed would read this and invite you to speak about it at church. It would be a great discussion to hear. Have a blessed day and Happy Thanksgiving!! I’m thankful for having a pastor who not only leads us to Christ but is so open about these topics and is very creative in every way! :D

It’s upsetting to see “Christians” giving their opinion in such an angry/judgmental way. It makes non-believers stay away from the word of God. Pastor Ed is bringing sex back into the house of the one who created it. He also mentions that the FIRST place our children need to learn about sex is “the home” with their parents and the SECOND place is the church.

However, to your indoctrinated mind, you might even take that as a compliment, how sad.
