I took this down from a facebook post. I can get screenshots but I honestly don't know how to answer this.

Mr. Potatoes: So, what you're telling me, is that a woman can't have a sexuality outside of the marriage if she is expected to have a successful marriage?

His reply

Pastor Friend: I'm a Bible believing pastor Mr. Potatoes, what do you think my answer will be? :)

One more.

Pastor Friend: disagree, that's fine. I stand by this. It's not judgement, but an acknowledgement that something is wrong. Then, as nice as I can put it, be offended. But do so knowing that this is what the Bible says about it, not just me.

"Matthew 5:27-28"You know the next commandment pretty well, too: 'Don't go to bed with another's spouse.' But don't think you've preserved your virtue simply by staying out of bed. Your heart can be corrupted by lust even quicker than your body. Those leering looks you think nobody notices—they also corrupt.

29-30"Let's not pretend this is easier than it really is. If you want to live a morally pure life, here's what you have to do: You have to blind your right eye the moment you catch it in a lustful leer. You have to choose to live one-eyed or else be dumped on a moral trash pile."

sigh ...

TL;DR wtf mate? Can you help me understand this nonsense?

[edit] I meant sexuality not gender identity.
