It's not Christian porn, but a Baptist pastor in Tucson, AZ, is creating a stir by advertising his upcoming series of sex-related sermons with full-page newspaper ads, and suggestive mailers. Jeremiah McDuffie, 27, pastor of the unconventional Element Community Church, sent out postcards with the above image to 35,000 Tucson-area homes in an effort to spread his simple, holy message that God wants people to have great sex.
"Sex wasn't invented in a dark alley behind a porn shop. It's part of God's design," according to McDuffie, himself a former porn addict.
Regardless, the Catalina Baptist Association and Element Church have fielded calls from disgusted community members. "The negative calls we've had were basically from people saying this was a subject we shouldn't be dealing with in church, that it's inappropriate," McDuffie said.
While we don't find the mailer image too racy for a church group, we wonder if the pastor might have also received a few calls of support from local foot fetishists.
Speaking of worship, we think a gaggle of women dressed as Wonder Woman are is close to heaven as you can get (using a costume).

Why would this article about a Biblically based study of God's design for sex between a husband and his wife, be in anyway associated with pictures of whorish women wearing wings, thongs and paint, parading around showing their fornications to the mass public?
This is serving the devil! Why try to corrupt what this pastor is doing by posting pictures of pornography and saying the words "hallelujah, be an angel day"? The devil is a fallen angel. Turn from serving the devil unto the Living God! Repent and believe the Gospel!
Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

The Pastor is a 27 year old former PORN addict!?! You are always an addict, in recovery, and at 27 years young, I think he is just trying to do some more type of sick sexual fetish. He is always an ADDICIT IN RECOVERY...that is how addictions work. No wonder America is a Godless land!

You know I find it funny that most have an opinion of what should be preached or what IS preached in church while MOST don't darken the door of a church -- there are MILLIONS of Great sermons preached everyday of Sunday! Good men and women who love the Lord and the people that are sitting in the pews -- we should not speak of things we do not know

sex is wonderful withing the bonds of matrimony however these ads and postcards this pastor sent out and has on his website is nothing but cheap porn. any any christian who denies this better take a look what God said. the bible says women do not dress in the attire of a harlot.
shame on him for turning something sacred as sex and turning it into something filthy and cheap to give men a cheap thrill. sheme shame shame

As a pastor, I have encountered so very many Christians who are sexually disfunctional, partly because the world, and not the church, addresses it!
Bravo to that Pastor who dares address it from the pulpit..we need more of that!!

excuse me but yes this pastor can teach what the bible says about sex withing the sacrement of marriage, however to send out postcards and ads of women who potray angels in whorish attire is nothing but porn. exposing their bodies seductively, you call thie christian? oh the devil must be having a field day with this. do you honestly beleive a holy God approves of this immorality? i dont. God instructed for women not to dress in the attire of harlots an what this pastor has put out is woman who define that all the way.
sorry but this is porn, porn porn,

What IS the problem? Women can flaunt their sexuality, blatantly advertise sex, and it's all good. Let a man (equal rights, remember?) do the same thing and suddenly he is a cad. If women and the media were any more hypocritical, a new word would have to be developed to describe the insanity of the female-centric idiocy.

This is not a new idea. Our pastor in Chandler, AZ, did this same sermon series last year with the identical photos, advertising, and mailers.

This is silly. This is marketing. Sex sells. We all do it. Most of us love it, and none of us would exist if not for sex. Why not have the series? They were held in other cities recently too.

If you can't talk about sex in church, where is a better place? Didn't god make all humans sexual so that we where all made "in His image"? Our society is so phony and Puritanical about sexuality. Thats why we have abortion, out of wedlock births, homophobia and a GIANT divorce rate because we can't even have discourse about the most human element of out being!

Sex is evil, sex is a sin, sex is carnality, sex is the devils work, sex is disgusting, our bodies are the works of Satan, you are born evil, you must be "cleansed" by the church. Is there something about that you dont understand?

To all the people that think sex should never be discussed anywhere especially in church . . . did you ever think that this attitude it what helps keep prostitution and pron going? When you make something "bad, dirty, etc." you make it one of the most things wanted by humans . . . we are a rebelious animal and a sexual animal . . . wake up and realize this . . .

I think it's funny that we as Christians are suppose to study the Bible, GODS' WORD , and follow his teachings because of HIS love for us and how HE sacrificed HIS SON to cover not only our sins but the sins of mankind from the beginning till the end of time / On Sundays, our preachers, pastors or whatever is the correct name that your church gives the leader, delievers sermons from the old to the new testament and ask us to study these books so that we may gain a greater understanding about having a personal relationship with GODS Son JESUS CHRIST / How many of you have ever read the book Song of Solomon - Song of Songs in your Bible / It is a LOVE STORY about King Solomon and his wife / IF you haven't read it you may want to give it a shot / VERY EROTIC !!!!!!!!!!!! / How many of you have ever been to Church and heard a sermon on this book of the Bible / This is GODS WORD also / Religion is mans interpetation of GODS WORD and think about it, have we been taught that sex is a GODLY gift to be enjoyed by MARRIED COUPLES or something best left not discussed whether in the home or in Church ? / Maybe, just maybe we should look at the Bible for what is actually is - The Facts and the Truth ABOUTGODS WORD and quit trying to make it fit into our livestyle so we can feel good about ourselves and be spritial !! GOD GAVE US SEX as a gift, we have abused it and turned HIS gift into something that it was not intended to be / Read and follow GODS WORD and see if HE doesn't lead you to a place of true peace and joy / Try it, you may like it / Also you may want to read Psalms 118:8 which just happens to be the middle verse of the Bible - It's better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man / THINK ABOUT THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
