Tone

This is definitely an informal article -- "being okay with that"? -- and reads more like a self-help article than an encyclopediac one. Goldfritha 05:03, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Practice

The author tackles a difficult concept in a positive manner. Easy in the vulgar sense, elusive in the sublime, intimacy has been a stumbling block for all manner of thinkers. A friend suggests "communion" as in "the communion of saints". I would add the South African Ubuntu and Thay's "Interbeing". For me, this article was far more helpful than the EB.

Intimacy to me is an essential practice like thanksgiving, forgiveness, hospitality, caring, sharing. Tarvid (talk) 17:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Intimacy to me is not even about sex it is much deeper than that. The only time i have truly experienced intimacy is when i exchnaged deep thoughts with another. I have experienced sex many times and never felt what i felt when the 2 of us really talked deep.--Bigrunt1 (talk) 02:48, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Intimacy

1 Corinthians 6:16 There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, "The two become one." Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never "become one." There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for "becoming one" with another. Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.
