Quote: We are not to be controlled by anything. (1 Co 6:12 & 10:23)
There is nothing in these principles that mentions fetishes. Any mention of fetishes is done so by the owner of the website and therefore has no biblical citation to back itself up.
Those two statments are contradictory. What is a fetish but something that "controls you?" Or do you think the exact word has to be used or else it is not Biblical? Let me remind you that pastors and preachers put their own spin on what the Bible says every Sunday morning in every church in america.
"It is hypocritical to say on one hand - "There is no mention of anal sex in the bible therefore we can conclude that it is not frowned upon" and follow that up with "fetishes...although not mentioned in the bible are harmlful we feel and should be dealt with through therapy" The webmaster even states "we feel a fetish violates this scriptural principle" He is putting his own twist in the bible to satisfy his own sexual deviancy while criticizing others."
You are assuming that anal sex is a fetish, where I don't see that it has to be, any more than oral sex is a fetish. Just because something is not directly related to procreation does not make it a fetish. It is a fetish when it is required to have sex. People who engage in watersports and scat pretty much need that for arousal (I could be wrong about that, I'm not a sex expert by any means). However, many people just find anal sex pleasurable (not me BTW) and use it as an option in the bedroom.
Again I say, show me a pastor or preacher that doesn't put their own twist on the Bible. Everyone does it. Its just some people think that because they agree with a particular pastor or POV that that particluar POV is the "inerrant word of the Bible." If there is one and only one correct view of Biblical teachings, God sure hid it well because there sure is a lot of disagreement about what it is.
Sorry folks about getting off-topic for this board. But I guess it does have some bearing on SSMs. I think there are a fair number of SSMs that have religious repression to blame.
