Sister Rachel, I am glad to hear this come from a fine, outstanding Christian woman. Our detractors like to throw baseless accusations that we are a bunch of sexist men who use the Bible to justify our wants.
We only need to look no further than our beloved King James Bible to see that God sanctions the right for a man to enter into intercourse with his wife at any time he sees fit. Just a cursory glance at a couple of Bible verses show this to be so...
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
You can't be fruitful and multiply if your wife is closing herself to you. She is going against God's Word? by denying the husband sex!
Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
From these two posts we can clearly see that God has intended women as property of their husbands. If something is your property, you have a right to do whatever you want with it. The Genesis quote tells us that men have the obligation to rule over women. The exodus quote implicitly states that women are property by lumping them in with all other objects which would be considered property.
1st Timothy 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
1st Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
1st Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Women are Saved? through childbirth. But when she refuses to give into her husband's demands for sex she is damning herself on the road to Hell.
Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
It doesn't get any more transparent than that! Submit yourself unto your husbands! This is the Word of God? right here!
We can see through proper understanding of the Holy Bible that God intends for men to have sex with their wives at their own will and discretion. Marital "rape" is nothing more than an invented modern-day concept created by God-hating feminazis. As True Christians?, we need to write to our congressmen and organize protests so that we can strike down these unholy and draconian "marital rape" laws. God is not pleased!
