If lust is a sin, then how are people expected to "go forth and multiply"?

Just another example of how religion contradicts itself and tries to suppress natural human (and animal for that matter) instincts. If it feels good "God" must hate it.

I concur :) Personally, I think desire and lust are all the same. Sex without either is pointless, so you would be multiplying for all the wrong reasons. The Bible is a load of contradictive BS. But that's just my opinion.. :3

Honey, don't have the wool pulled over your eyes. Lust is a natural biological desire. Problems may arise depending on how one acts on that desire, but lust in and of itself is NOT sinful.

"Go forth and multiply" in Holy Matrimony where the man and the woman become one flesh. Lusting after your wife is not a sin. Lusting after someone else's wife is a sin. Or lusting after a girl that you see on the street is a sin. Christ teaches us to guard our eyes, guard our ears, guard our hearts and minds. The Battlefield is in the mind and we are to flee from evil.

Don't look at it, don't touch it and don't listen to it.

Lust is the opposite of Love. Lust means wanting to use someone for sexual pleasure for yourself Love means to have a relationship with them. Sex with someone you love is a sexual desire stemming from the love of two people.

It is only meant for married people. Now if lusting and desiring hit you. Maybe you should consider marrying that person and enjoy a life together as one. But, if your eyes lusting to be lusting then that is indeed a sin.

a] God blest Adam and Eve and told them to multiply. Thus the sacrament of marriage is instituted and there is no lust anymore... it is LOVE.

b] Outside of marriage, your desire is then Lust.

c] Know the difference. If sacramental, it is Love; outside of it, is lust.

Its not a sin if you are married. Lust is when you fancy someone something rotten so the answer must be to marry someone you don't fancy - and have sex with them instead of ones you fancy like mad.

Lust is the visual coveting for sexual purposes a person of whom you are not married to. It has nothing to do with love or procreation.

Call me stupid but God could have just as easily commanded Adam and Eve to scratch their back on a tree-they were going to multiply anyway.

Married people were told to go forth and multiply. Not "people".
