I promised you in this weeks "Men, Women and Children" column on "Sexual Immorality " part 3, that I would follow up subtitle
"Sexual Temptation", 1 Corinthians 6:13 with 1 Corinthians 6:15.
The subtitle is, "YOUR body is a member of Jesus, The Christ."
You can consider this "Sexual Immorality", part 4.
If you've been following the subject of "Sexual Sin" or "Sexual Immorality" on my blog with me, then you know that I am no holds barred! You don't keep coming back because you are looking for me to say "nice things" or "tip toe" around the subject. Because YOU KNOW I'M NOT!
You keep coming back to this post because you know I'm about truth!
And "Sometimes truth ain't pretty!" Neither is it agreeable.
Later in this article, I will describe some "titles" or "headings" for which Sexual Sin violators, are categorized under, like "prostitutes" or "Homosexual". The categories are NOT my opinion! These are biblical. Although the bible does not give titles or a heading under which all violators of sexual sin fall, the bible does CLEARLY describe the actions of such persons! Some headings and all of these "sinful" and offensive acts are found throughout the Bible, but you can start with the book of
Leviticus, chapter 18. Don't take my word for it! Read it for yourself!
The entire chapter is also written out in "Sexual Immorality, Pt. 1",
which was posted on my blog in February on 2/23/2010.
Check my archive section for that!
Also check out Romans 1: 26, 27 about homosexuality and lesbianism. Just so you can see that the bible speaks on it as being a "perversion." Though these verses don't label these acts of perversion with names, IT DOES however, describe the acts of homosexuality and lesbianism themselves! There is still so much more to know about this subject from a biblical point of view! So many people have said, "This is not written in the Holy Bible." "God loves me, he's not going to punish me." "He's a just and fair God." "He won't do anything to harm me." "I can do anything I want and he'll forgive me, because he's a just and fair God. " So, What Holy Bible are they reading, I wonder? God HATES ALL sin, though he loves the sinner, but GOD IS NOT going to conform to YOUR WAYS! He's perfect and pure!
If you continue to live in your sin, (whatever it is), being unrepentant (not asking God's forgiveness AND turning away from it forever!), according to Scripture, eventually God will turn you over to your sin. He will let you go!
AND you will no longer be under the cover of his GRACE and MERCY! Don't you fool yourself!
Don't let NO ONE else fool you about this either! NO ONE!
This is about YOUR LIFE PEOPLE!
Your life, concerning the now and the hereafter!
This is concerning your life's journey AND your destination!
Wisdom and Knowledge are absolutely necessary on that journey! Those things are to arm you, so you can travel protected while on your journey. To arm you, is why I am here, writing as I do. But my job with my writing is to tell, to give, to share, but tell, give, and share right things! Not to waste my time (or yours) or my talent with crap things! Whose married to whom, what Hollywood couple had a baby now? Whose won what award etc. Yes! Those things are directly important to the people involved, but...
What are those things going to do for you in your life?
Anyway, wisdom and knowledge, they can be utilized by you to live your best life NOW! Wisdom and Knowledge are here for you to know them!
So shouldn't you know?
Shouldn't somebody, many somebody's, be shouting it from the roof tops? Or at least from all communication points such as my blog? We twitter, face book, text and blog everything else!
Any takers? I'll do it, no problem!
SEXUAL SIN, IS SOOOOO DAMAGINGGGGGGGGG!!!
SEXUAL SIN, IS DAMAGING TO THE BODY
AS WELL AS TO THE SOUL!
WHAT IF YOU ARE ?...
"MACKIN", a "PLAYER", a" DOG", a" PIMP DADDY", an "ADULTERER", or a ROLLING STONE,
(as in, Poppa was a ....) ~ (all are whore mongers!)...
Momma was a...so you are a "PARTY GIRL", an "ADULTERESS" ? What if you are...
a HOMOSEXUAL, Bi-Sexual, or a LESBIAN ?
It all may be cool among your peeps', BUT...
OR What if you are a "JOHN"~
(a whore monger purchasing sex.),
What if... a PROSTITUTE~ (a whore, male or female,
either exchanging sex for material items, services or money). What if you are a "FORNICATOR"~
(A non-married male OR female having sex)?
What if you are a rapist, pedophile (a child molester)?
**By the way, a homosexual male, according to the bible in , 1 Corinthians 6:9 refers to them as "male prostitutes."
THEN...
YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE PEOPLE!
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
One day I'm gonna figure out how to play my voice on my blog, so you can hear my passion for you! For your life! You say,
"So what's it to you Meetta, what I do and who I screw?"
("Screw". That's the way some of you talk).
You don't even have enough respect for yourself, let alone for the other person involved, to call it anything dignified! I'm Moving on.
The thing is, I do care! I don 't have to know you personally to care about you! You are a apart of humanity! God saw fit to create you and
God NEVER makes mistakes! ("God made a mistake!"
WE say that when we don't like the outcome of a situation! Never or hardly ever, giving God credit for the "good things", but ALWAYS SHAKING A FIST at him, when something bad happens!) So, if you are alive it means you have purpose! If I love God like I proclaim, then HOW COULD I NOT LOVE YOU?
Like many Christ followers, I have relationship and conversation with him, through prayer. And knowing you or not knowing you, does not limit prayer! While I may not directly know you, "The creator" was aware of you "before you were in your mothers womb." He knows everything about you! Everything from the color of your eyes, to "the number of hairs on your head". He knows the secrets you refuse to divulge. He knows what good and bad things you've done. He even knows what you will do, won't do, who you're doing them with! He knows the mistakes, the hurts and hardships you have and will face AND he knows why? He knows your highs and your lows. Proverbs 15:3 states "The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good."
So, whether you are a believer in him or not! HE KNOWS YOU!
So, as a believer in Christ, I can at least pray for people, character traits and situations and he will hear. I can pray as he directs me to pray for you! Because God knows you and all about you, he can even put names and situations on a Believers heart for them to pray!
Understand that prayer is having conversation with God and all that he represents including (Jesus the Son of God and the "Comforter" which is "The Holy Spirit). In his forming a "relationship" with me and I with him, I've come to understand that through prayer AND FAITH (in him) "ALL things are made possible." Situations can change! In your "relationship" with him, you will come to understand this as well! "God is no respecter of person". What he will do for one, he will do for another, especially if you are one after his own heart!
To end this segment, the bottom line is, God hears the prayers of those that believe in him. He hears mine about you! You may not want to RECEIVE the blessings of the prayers, but he hears! I pray for your healing! I pray for your strength, for you to come out of darkness (ignorance of God) and live in the light of wisdom, knowledge and the safety of Christ.
Though this article is about the continuing subject of sexual sin,
I felt compelled to say all that I have said!
You need to know somebody cares, even a stranger like me.
And I don't get paid to sit here writing what I write (It would be nice if I did,
I need some new kitchen chairs! Smile)! So, know it's not for material gain, fame or fortune! Although, "your gifts will make room for you." Seriously Reader, your soul, as is mine, is VERY IMPORTANT! I choose to use the gift of time and my talent to love on you. Will you not love on yourself and remove yourself from sexual immorality?
To do this, you are going to have to make great change in your life!
You may lose a few "friends" along the way! You may even find, that you are in need AND ready for God's SALVATION through christ Jesus.
Scripture;
1 Corinthians 6:15-17
(1st Corinthians chapter 6, verse 15, 16, 17)
Just so you know where I get my scriptures,
I use the Life Application Study Bible, N.I.V.
(New International Version)
Tyndale House publishers, Inc.
Wheaton, Illinois
(v.15) Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? NEVER! (v.16) Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." (v.17)"But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
FOOTNOTES
1 Corinthians 6:15-17
(v. 15-17) This teaching about sexual immorality and prostitutes was especially important for the Corinthian church because the temple of the love goddess Aphrodite was in Corinth. This temple employed more than a thousand prostitutes as priestesses, and sex was part of the worship ritual. Paul clearly stated that Christians are to have no part in sexual immorality, EVEN IF it is acceptable and popular in our culture.
So there you go Readers, be enlightened!
Remember!
Even though there are things in the Bible targeted to a certain audience,
HIS WORD and principles ALSO are DIRECTED AT YOU!
Yes! Even in this day and age!
And though you may reject me (Meetta), your rejection does not change truth!
And "TRUTH " will fight for itself!
Talk with ya Later!
