What does Jesus[or the bible for that matter] say about Foot Fetishes. Is it ok to have one,even if it is an un-perverted one? The Popularity of Foot Fetishism is steadly growing on the 'net. So what I wanna know is,Does the Bible cover this subject at all? Thanks, ------------------ |

foot what? Fetish? How the heck does that work? (nevermind, don't tell me) My friend once said he met a girl with a "cow fetish" (there were pictures of cows all over her room an stuff... lol) To be honest, I have no idea about fetishes, even a feet fedish... though I do know a little about the sweedish ------------------ |

The Bible doesn't explicitly say anything about it. In short: if you're married and you like your wife's feet, that is between you and her. If you are not married, you shouldn't be looking at anybody's body parts if it arouses desire. |

No. The bible does not talk about foot fetishes. On this topic, I say, whatever toots your horn. ------------------ |

never mind i found what wikipedia says:quote: i think it does ,worshiping feet is a sin isn't it?? i think it is quite wrong(at least) if someone has that problem then they should try to work it out... i am not sure but being turned on by your wifes body parts many not be wrong or anything but being obssesed by any specific body part and worhipping it is taking it too far. i think it the problem lies with the obsession. i think this is a form of psychological disorder.
quote: i think homosexuality was considered psychological disorder too until 1973. isn't homosexuality a disorder in sexual preference too?? i guess they don't call it that because they are too afraid of all the pro-homosexuality people. also check this out pentagon considers homosexuality as psychological disorder too or something :

quote: It's a fine line. If you're overly attracted to a specific part of your wifes body then it's not a sin. Obession/Worshipping over that part is a sin. If your really into your wifes feet but still love her as a whole (and not just the one part of her) then it's fine. ------------------ |

Wow, Spade, you're really doing some research. That's great. Also, helping to define that thin line, the origin of the word obsession comes from a word which means "to be haunted by an evil spirit" in Olde English. Obsession carries other connotations, too, for the world. But for us Christians, an obsession can easily be idolatry. God is a jealous God and He wants us to be "obsessed" only with Him. The forces of evil can easily use an obsession to sway a person. The Holy Spirit will tell a person if their "likes" are turning toward "obsessions" and correct us. Take this test: if you can't stop doing something or thinking something, then you need to get help: pray, read the Word, get counsel. It could be sexual in nature, but it could also be gaming, or road rage, or many things. |

I've seen road-rage first-hand. its pretty freaky. Scared the (insert word here) out of me. It was my freinds sister, and she started driving like maniac! Swerveing in aund out of lanes and acclerationg like crazy, to hunt down this one car that (sort of) cut her off! it was freaky. I hope I never do something that reckless. ------------------ |

I did find one refrence to the amorous adoration of feet in the Bible. This is from Song of Songs 7:1 by Solomon to his wife. How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs [are] like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman. There's alot of other stuff in this passage as well about the adoration of the beauty of certain body parts, so I think that this shows that such practice is acceptable at least within the boundaries of marraige. ------------------ |

Ereon, you rock! Nice find. |

spade89 Member Posts: 561 From: houston,tx Registered: 11-28-2006 |
hey the book of the song of solomon is not about a woman!!!!! the woman is the suppose to represent the modern Church and i think the prince is suppose to be Christ. at first glance it kind of makes you say "this is in the BIBLE" but after i asked around i found out it is one of those things in the BIBLE wehre something said in order to represent other either prophetic things or teachings as in the parables of JESUS. from what i have seen the love solomon had to his(i think 700) wives is what drove him away from GOD and made him worship other gods so don't look at it in the natural way but in the spiritual way. i will look up a reference for you guys on that book. ------------------ Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.

ok here is the link in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_of_Solomon and about what i said about homosexuality being a psychological disorder ,don't misunderstand me --don't think that i am saying homosexuals are not responsible for their actions. they are conscious people who know right from wrong . so it is hard for me to draw a line on that but they do need help just like drug addicts or sex addicts do. ------------------ Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.

Yes, S.O.S is alagorical, but for the married, it can also be read literally. |

quote: Agreed... I mean we all have preferences. We all have things that peak our sexual interests, these are things that should be shared between a husband and a wife to better their sexual relationship. There is no shame in this as long as it avoids obsession and worshiping, it simply is. Just as I may wear a style of jacket that none of you may like, it's simply another factor of how God made us unique with our own interests, likes, and dislikes. ------------------ |

Spade: it was 300 wives, and 600 concubines, while in todays world that was bad, in all of the Bible from what I've seen it never says anything about too many wives was bad. David had a few, Solomon had quite the bunch. I don't remember many others. It wasn't the number that drove Solomon away from God, it was his choice. He chose foreign women from Egypt, and places God didn't want them to marry at that time as they would distract them from God. Not mentioning that it was forbidden. As for David and Bethsheeba, she was another man's wife, and so David's killing of the man for his wife was wrong. ------------------ |

I don't mean to hijack this thread (if someone cant give me a straight simple 2-line answer, i'll make my own topic) the the bible says that extra-marital affairs are (and were even in old-testament times) bad. EDIT: much.. numbers don't always mean much to God. I'm not God, so I wouldn't know. But ot my knowledge, God has very little to do with numbers ------------------ [This message has been edited by Realm Master (edited November 26, 2007).] |

Two lines for RealmMaster: In His mercy, God allowed men to care for more than one woman in a world of extreme poverty, rape, murder. This also insured that the Jewish bloodlines would multiply. |
