Title: Sexual immorality
Post by: MATTHEW24:14 on November 09, 2007, 08:24:18 PM
                                 Sexual Immorality


Quote:

1 CORINTHIANS 6:13   The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:18, 19, 20   Flee from sexual immorality, All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you  not know that your body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received 
from GOD ? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.
Therefore Honor God with your body.

Romans 1:27  And of course, the obvious: men were not meant to have sex with other men.
 Take a look at our anatomies.

Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 Condemn same-sex activity between two males.

1Corinthians 6:9-10 Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters
nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders, will inherit
the Kingdom GOD.   
Do you know to interpret GODS Word, to suits your behavior, and teaching people to violate to damaged the Temple of GOD, with sin. Which is where The HOLY SPIRIT Dwells. 

1Cor.3:16-17
So than, if the person had The HOLY SPIRIT in him/her you would recognize GOD voice!
HOMOSEXUALITY is a sin ( PERIOD ) !  And it is unnatural.      
GOD created Adam and Eve but not[ Adam and St-Eve ]                   [ REMEMBER ]

Matthew 5:19  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Galatians 1:8  But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

Isaiah 55:11  so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

The Bible gives a different view. "Sexual immorality" is denounced in about 25 passages in the New Testament. The Bible does not provide a list of all the acts that constitute "sexual immorality," but it is generally believed that any form of genital contact with another person, except between husband and wife, is prohibited by Bible teachings. Premarital sex and other extramarital sex do receive the strong, specific condemnation in the Bible that adultery does, but they are almost certainly included within the term "sexual immorality."

1 Corinthians 7:2  But because of the temptation to impurity and to avoid immorality, let each [man] have his own wife and let each [woman] have her own husband.

According to Thayer's Greek Lexicon, the word translated as "sexual immorality" or "fornication" is the Greek word porneia which includes all forms of illicit gotcha146.

Mark 7:20-23 And He said, What comes out of a man is what makes a man unclean and renders [him] unhallowed. 21 For from within, [that is] out of the hearts of men, come base and wicked thoughts, sexual immorality, stealing, murder, adultery, 22 Coveting (a greedy desire to have more wealth), dangerous and destructive wickedness, deceit; unrestrained (indecent) conduct; an evil eye (envy), slander (evil speaking, malicious misrepresentation, abusiveness), pride (the sin of an uplifted heart against God and man), foolishness (folly, lack of sense, recklessness, thoughtlessness). 23 All these evil [purposes and desires] come from within, and they make the man unclean and render him unhallowed.

Paul, in his letters to the Galatians, wrote these verses.

Galatians 5:19-21 Now the doings (practices) of the flesh are clear (obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency, 20 Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), 21 Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

In Thessalonians........

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 For this is the will of God, that you should be consecrated (separated and set apart for pure and holy living): that you should abstain and shrink from all sexual vice,4 That each one of you should know how to possess (control, manage) his own body in consecration (purity, separated from things profane) and honor, 5 Not [to be used] in the passion of lust like the heathen, who are ignorant of the true God and have no knowledge of His will,

Sexual immorality is a well-worn tool of satan. People have difficulty distinguishing between love and lust, especially if they have never been shown love or affection as a child or an adult.

God intended sex to be a beautiful experience between a husband and his wife yet very quickly the devil turned it into something ugly. In Genesis 6:1-4 we read how "heavenly beings" were taking beautiful young women who they had children by. Clearly the Bible says their offspring were, "of human women and spiritual beings". Now, I believe these spiritual beings were not God's angels, but evil spirits. The Bible tells us that the people became so bad that God destroyed them through the great flood.

So right from the beginning of time, evil spirits of lust have ruled people. Interestingly enough the film, "Rosemarie's Baby" is about a woman having a child by the devil. All the scriptwriter of the film had to do was put todays characters into an age old story. Is it any wonder that sexual acts are a major part of satan.

Hello Christian_Crusader,

If you read the listed portions of Scripture and the posts, it's crystal clear. Sex is for a man and a woman married to each other - end of story! You can read many portions of Scripture throughout the Holy Bible that lead to the same exact conclusion, so there isn't anything difficult to understand or debate here. It's a different story for non-Christians who don't want to accept the teaching of the Holy Bible. Regardless, the Holy Bible is about as blunt, plain, and specific as one can get. Sexual immorality during Old Testament times resulted often in a death penalty. Sexual immorality in our times results often in disease that eventually causes death. In reality, the death penalty of the Old Testament was more humane than the diseases of today.

Love In Christ,
Tom

If I understand you correctly I can't believe you said that.  Sexual urges are not wrong..  Sex and the urges that go with it are beautiful, God-given gifts.

ahmen brother

to say these urges that were given to us by god is wrong ,  is saying gods own creations are immoral. If jesus died for our sins i think he would be very conserned if they forgot to take sexual imorality off the list.

There is a difference between sexual urges that are moral and sexual immorality. The Bible clearly tells us that sex is to be between one man and one woman and that sex in any other manner is a sin.

1Co 7:2  ...  to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.


We can also see in the following verse that even the thoughts alone in this aspect are considered a sin.

Mat 5:27  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Mat 5:28  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

As Paul has said we are to keep our bodies under subjection, not giving in to the sinful lusts of the body.

1Co 9:27  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection ...

Yes, sex in the aspect of one man and one woman is very acceptable in the eyes of the Lord for "He which made them at the beginning made them male and female".


ahmen brother

God's creations were not immoral in the beginning for they were created "very good". When sin entered into the world they did take an immoral nature.

Rom 5:12  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Rom 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

It is for this reason that Christ died on the cross and offers His grace to all.

There is good news though for all:


Rom 1:16  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom 1:17  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Salvation, salvation from death under the law by God's perfect grace.

Rom 3:10  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom 3:11  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Rom 3:12  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Rom 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Rom 5:12  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Rom 6:23  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rom 1:18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Rom 3:20  Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Rom 3:27  Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Rom 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:9  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Rom 2:4  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

Rom 3:22  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Rom 3:28  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Rom 4:21  And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

Rom 4:24  But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

Rom 5:1  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Rom 10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Rom 10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
