ORIGINAL: jn1010lf Hello dianetavegia I've heard Ed Young a few times and thought he was okay, although I prefer more literal teaching from the Bible. The things he says could be used in a Psychology lecture and few would know the difference. His latest gimmick is designed to help marriages. He has a double bed on the stage as a prop for his topic. He is urging married couples to have sex every night for a period of time to improve their marriage. How crass. Marriage is God's affair. He makes couples to become one with each other. By doins sex things, one is starting with the flesh, hoping the mind and spirit will be positively affected. But God's way is to speak the man's spirit. That way the mind and the felsh are positively affected. So, as to your question. No. I personally would not attend Ed Young's church. Paul writes about married couples submitting to one another and meeting their partner's needs so that they don't give into temptation. Now, is Paul crass for writing that? The divorce rate in this country is astronomical, with infidelity being a major cause of this. Now, if a pastor wants to encourage this behavior between married couples to help prevent divorces in his congregation, then what's the problem? Well, first of all having sex for a week because your pastor told you to won't solve any of the deep seated issues in a bad marriage. This is just something Mr. Young dreamed up to get attention. No where in the Bible does it say sex is the cure for a marriage that is in severe trouble. Besides being in poor taste, having a bed on the stage just feeds the hunger for entertainment for the type of crowd his church attracts. I think I also remember him having a corvette on the stage before...they're all just props for a show. You're right, it won't solve things in a bad marriage already. But it could help couples whose marriages aren't in trouble yet. I'll agree that the props may be unnecessary. Incidentally, what on Earth did he have a corvette on stage for? I haven't heard of this guy...
