Irenaeus (about 180 A.D.) reported that Gnostic’s believed ‘that marriage and procreation are from Satan.’ Marcion (another heretic in the 2nd. century) spoke of the ‘disgusting paraphernalia of reproduction.’ Augustine (a great church leader about A.D. 300) wrote that ‘the highway to hell lay between a woman’s thighs.’ Jerome (another great church leader A.D. 300) spoke of ‘the bestial act of intercourse.’ He also said, “Anyone who is too passionate a lover with his own wife is himself an adulterer.” Peter Lombard (theologian about A.D. 1100) warned ‘that the Holy Spirit left the room when a married couple had relations, even if for the purpose of conceiving a child.’ Fortunately, Martin Luther (about A.D. 1540) held a healthier view - that ‘the marital embrace might be a good posture in which to be found when Jesus returns.’ Cornelius Plantinga, Jr., said, in line with Hebrews 13:4 - ‘Sex for Christians . . . is a joy . . . not a toy.
