Is (or is not) having sex on the Sabbath a sin?

[Aish Tamid]

I myself am (strongly) of the opinion that it is not a sin to have sex on the Sabbath; however, there are several individuals here who are (strongly) of the opinion that it is indeed a sin.

This topic has been discussed in a previous thread regarding the Sabbath restrictions found in the Book of Jubilees (not a book I support in any way), but the emphasis of that thread was on Jubilees, not this specific issue of sex on the Sabbath.

I would like to hear diverse answers from NazSpace members concerning their opinion on the matter.

The Hebrew language often uses two opposing words within the same thought to reveal its true meaning which is the Torah is full of parables to reveal its truth; ie the calendar, many men will error in its revelation. It is not hard for me to understand. The Torah is not straight foward covenant it is a parable for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

The Torah was revealed. It is known plainly, simply, literally, and straight-forward. I don't know what is so difficult about this to understand. The things that are not revealed are for God to know.

this is proof you are baffled by the parable of the passage, nothing says straight foward, literal, that is just your personal opinion revealed means uncover something hidden?????

I guess we just disagree!

Bear in mind, in th contexts quoted, "uncleannness" is RITUAL uncleanness. When the Torah wants men to stay away from their wives, it SAYS so...see the instructions at the foot of Sinai before the congregation comes close to the mountain.

If you have semen on you, according to Torah you remain unclean until evening if indeed you washed with water. In the new covenant you are unclean if you look at any woman with lust, and this includes your wife. In the new covenant, to become clean, one must confess sin to his brother in Christ. Yes i was viewing porn, though i am unmarried so … please pray for my soul, so i suppose I'm as dirty as a pig in its own mire. Jesus says it is what proceeds out of a man that makes him unclean and lustful thoughts are not the only things that make him unclean.
